True Laughter
Have you laughed? I mean really truly laughed.
You know the type that starts from your feet making your toes curl. That one that travels up your legs making them shake like a leaf in the wind.
That laughter that boils up in your belly like steam in an enclosed space looking for a way out. That one that literally causes you pain until you open your throat and let it all out and open.
That type of laughter that bursts out like a gush of wind producing a sound which for that moment in time brings with it an amnesia of all the things causing you pain and worry.
So tell me. Have you ever truly laughed?

Something-ness

Something loud and noisy in the silence of emptiness.

One Day of Hardwork
“If attaining a bright and successful future required just one full day of focus and purposefulness, everyone would be wildly successful.
However, the sad truth is that success requires and involves multiple, and sometimes miserable moments of little yet correct choices.
Success is really just the sum of usually small but mighty decisions made and then executed.”
~ Sandra C. Obiora
Pondering Reality

I decided to remove the God factor and think through all other explanations.

Everything suddenly fell into place the moment I acknowledged this new reality.”

Wisdom Fight
“Choosing to be positive, content, and welcoming in character instead of being constantly discontented, negative, and a complainer, is referred to by some people as the ‘wisdom of life’.
However, I have found that this is easy to comprehend, yet very difficult to execute. For complaining is second nature to man. Therefore we must fight each day with our second nature, lest we become sour losers.”
~ Sandra C. Obiora
