High School Saga (Part 1)

-

Crushed, broken, hurt... was all that summed me in a nutshell. Every atom of hope was shuttered. From being a genius, star, intelligent and bright kid to a nobody. Imagine, losing all that matters to you in a nanosecond, impossible right? Well, that's my ordeal.

Pardon my confusion; my name is Talent. I'm good at nothing, no skills; I'm just a multilingual if that counts of course. I'm just a nerd and a brainiac. I'm part of society's unfavoured sect for we have difficulties fitting in. The world has all kinds of fun which I fail adhering to. Focusing on the future or improving now is what I enjoy the most, also finding answers to how things function.

Show me your friends and I will show you who you are, never existed in my vocabulary. I had awesome friends always on the last row of the scoreboard in tests but always acing in life. Lemme introduce them, Ben and Peter. Being in different sects we always found a a way to bond and move on. The other day we went for a school research project together; their characteristics of mingling with people helped us finish our assignment in lesser time than expected. I call these two bud & buddy. On our way home, we stopped for ice creams since it was very hot.

Bud💕 What's the plan for tomorrow?
Me💕 Start working on the Science project.
Buddy💕 😂😂😂 Do you ever think about anything else apart from books.

What's more important in life for a Grade 10 pupil, other than passing. If not books, what else can one think of.

Buddy💕 For crying out loud, it's weekend, why can't we do something fun.

The only way I can express fun is having a math problem solved or finding something new in Physics, jokes on me😂. Is Buddy ok or I'm just an alien in this planet.

Bud💕 I will come pick you tomorrow at 14:00hrs. No excuses.

Buddy nodded his head in agreement. Wait a minute, I'm Talent, I just don't do things, I'm formal; I first plan my schedule, then execute everything on my to do list, but lemme give my friends a chance...

Me💕 OK
Bud💕 Cool.
Buddy💕 Oh flip, its 15:15hrs. Let's hurry, I wanna watch today's match.

Buddy was no sporty, but he enjoyed watching cricket. Good heavens, we were just three blocks away from our street. Time had flown without us noticing for we were engrossed in our conversation. After bidding each other farewell, I realised that my mind was somewhere else. I started imaging about what the next day had in store for me, having one thought leading to another.

Stay tuned for part 2

Life

I'm so excited writing my very first article, Life. We always claim to be brave or courageous but if things don't turn as expected we crush, crumble and break. Life is always determined by your attitude towards it, also your perception of things. I have decided to express myself using a poem. Life, Life, Life One moment you are here, next Miles away... East and west you go, High and low you travel Searching for greener pastures, Ending with "life isn't fair" statement  Whoever said, 'life is rosy?' Every day  you wake up, Expecting a transformed world,  Yet, nothing changes Complains, intolerance and the like always fill your mind. Always remember, life goes on. Trials and tribulations follow you Yet, a beam of light is always visible In the darkest corners of your life. You got the power to define you Drive yourself to your destination  Take charge of your life. poem by Queen Nnessy  Despite...

 Patience, a name I would have given myself, maybe when called, I will reminded to exercise it, hahaha, lol. Well, I love Nnessy too, nice choice mommy and daddy.  Patience, the hardest thing to execute since no one is willing to wait. I plant today, I want harvest tomorrow; I put food in a cooker, the next minute I want to plate it up; I invest money, the next nano-second I wish to book a vacation or buy commodities with my savings/investment... the list goes on. Such is our ordeal, no wonder people indulge in crime and disgusting acts only to accelerate what they want.  No one has time to wait for anything. We're this microwave generation expecting things to occur in a nanosecond. It's a pity we've eliminated the word patience from our dictionary and vocabulary. One exercising it, deem fit being categorised as stupid. What then is this patience?   ~Nnessy🩷 Oxford dictionary defines it as the capacity to accept or tolerate delay, problems, or suffering without bec...

Staying true to self 2

  True colours This article was inspired by a post made by one asking what true colurs really are. I found it funny to be honest because the post read, 'If you do bad people say you've shown your true colours but when you do good, nothing is said. Is true colours only associated with the bad?' First thing that came to my mind is, ain't doing good part of someone's true colours? Hilarious, right. From my own understanding, true colours is simply who you are either good or bad. Character is shaped from your true colours. One thing for sure, character can never be masked, you can pretend for some time but not forever. So, simply be yourself. I understand that sometimes in a verge of wanting to fit in, you mask your personality so as to be accommodated. Well, it's good to be you from the onset, if you have weaknesses, you can be assisted right there and then. If you like black why act as if green is your thing. The danger of masking your true colours results in frus...
