Remember to be happy

You're existing. Now start experiencing. Allow yourself to feel. Feel the breeze on the back of your neck. Feel his breath flood your nostrils with warm words. Enjoy the feel off her soft hand accidentally brush against yours as she blows past you. And when it happens; wake up. Wake up. Open your eyes and you will see infinity.

But they don't tell you this. They tell you that this is crazy; that this isn't normal. They tell you to go to school. They tell you to graduate and get a job. They tell you to make money. And then they make sure you do what they say. They get you into debt. They keep you aspiring. They tell you that it's normal. But what if it's not? What if you knew that you could create a piece of art so magnificent that whatever robotesized version of you the future conjures up sees it - YOUR art - and weeps. THEY don't tell you these things.

I am not crazy. I am just a man with a head full of words that make sense. These words aren't always true - everyone knows that bullshit sells. That's why you're still reading this. When you realize that right now, I'm creating your world because you're taking time out of your life to read this message - I hope you realize the power you have within yourself to replicate this miraculous feat. I hope that you, too, will aspire to influencing the next person's life. But be careful: as much as there is good magic and beauty out there, there's also dark magic and a whole lot of fuckedupness.

So again, go out there and be the very best version of YOU that YOU can imagine. After all: what do you have to lose? Say yes to your inner child. Today, just live.

2012 - a tale of dark love lost

Image
I've never been a winner. It's a reality I have to deal with every minute of every single day spent on a constant bullshit spree that doesn't really capture the truth of who I am. Who am I? This is a story that dates back to a moment when my life changed completely. Flashback >>>DECEMBER 2011<<< Flashback Congratulations, Mr Tlou. You have been provisionally accepted into the Journalism and Media Studies 2 course for the year 2012. Back to reality!!!!!!!! My life changed quite rapidly from that afternoon onwards. I made the conscious decision to drink a lot less and become the ideal student. I had been afforded a second chance to make right the ills I had committed in that extremely eventful year. I came back to Rhodes, a reasonably changed man. The thing about change is that ... well, is that it's not easy to keep at. "If you keep on doing what you've always done, you'll keep on being what you've always been. Nothing ch

Words: Through The Eyes of a Writer

There is this movie; a movie about a man who wrote a book about a writer who found a book. The book which the writer had found was written by an old war-veteran; but he had not known this when he submitted it as his own. The writer of the book, the writer in the book and the old man all share one thing in common: they are all writers. Each had a story, and each story lead them to the craft. Each story began with love; and each ends with heartache and tears. I am a writer, and I too have one such story. It began at the end of an adventure I wished would never end. Like many others who had walked this path, I learned the hard way that love - the purest and strongest source of inspiration - can also be the most cursed. I fell in love with an idea; and the idea was beautiful. It was the idea of laying in bed beside the woman who kept my heart beating. It was the idea of waking up to my favourite dream every morning; the one where it's her lips that breathé life into my own at every
