CARS PARKED AT OWNER’S RISK

Cars parked at owner’s risk

Fear lodged in human beings

People scared of trying things

A world full of puppet strings

Zoom zoom zoom, we grow up driven to meet up with virtually everything

Boom boom boom, we take on many quests, our hopes and dreams piled up from morning to evening, but

Soon Soon Soon, we realize we’re on a fool’s errand, trying to fetch water from the ocean with nothing but a tea cup, so we;

Tune Tune Tune down, our desires and aspirations, to fit into this reality, just to keep up

Ask yourself, when last did you make a decision that was more tied to your purpose than it was to your pocket?

When last did you take a walk, take some time off, take a break, or even just take a breath?

Yes! A breath, one so deep that it gives you time to reflect

A breath so deep that it pauses time enough for you to just be, that I suggest.

Now do it with me. Close your eyes. And just for a moment, understand that no matter what you’ve faced, you survived!
Breathe in deep, and hold for 5 seconds and then let it out, slowly, through your mouth, don’t worry, you’ll be fine.

Let’s go: Innnnnnnnn….. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5… and out

Again Innnnnnnnn….. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5… and out

For the last time Innnnnnnnn….. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5… and out.

Open your eyes. Now how do you feel as you breathe in?

Do you feel those weights you’ve carried for so long start to give in?

Can you feel the jolt of energy coursing through your body? Can you feel it in your veins?
Have you freed yourself of those fears, worries, and desire for control? Have you let go of the reins?

If you are yet to, it’s okay. Uju, this is not Juju. I may sing better than Buju (sike) but this is NOT Voodoo.

Because what you learnt in your last 20 years (30 years? 40 years?) of living cannot be wiped out in a meeting with 1 storyteller.

But through this story, tell her, tell him inside you, that you’re going to be ooooooookay.

‘Cause hopefully, through pain or pressure, you’ll remember to breathe, even if you’ve struggled the whoooooole day.

Keep Breathing!

Do leave a comment, I’m eager to connect with you. And if you felt this story was worth telling, then it’s definitely worth sharing.
