17 LESSONS LIFE HAS TAUGHT ME

Image
Good evening readers and welcome to classicandreal. Now there’s something all of reading this are; we are alive. Now there’s something all of us have got no matter how dead we think we are, scientifically, we all have life in us. we have our heart vessels pumping blood, our nervous system is sending electrical signals constantly, our alveoli is filtering oxygen. Bottom line, we are alive. We have life in us whether we like it or we don’t. so we can admit that everyday, there’s a lesson or two to be learnt. I learn everyday as I walk on the street, eat, sleep, wake, live; I learn. I’ve met people with the good, the bad or the ugliest of hearts. I’ve been through tragedy and cried my heart out and through joy and laughed my lungs out. I’ve seen, experienced maybe not as much as you have but nevertheless, I have. And most of all, I’ve learnt. I am going to give you seventeen lessons life has taught me and I want you to also learn from me. No...

YOUR LIFE, YOUR RULES

I want you all to say this, it was our pledge in secondary school and it has helped me through life a whole lot; ‘I am a unique and irreplaceable individual, my vocation in life is also personal, therefore; I must not follow the group always’ We are unique, we are irreplaceable but most of all, we are individuals. There’s just one of us, just one and no one has control over your life except God and yourself. Have you ever notice that nothing changes in your life until you make up your mind that you want it to? Take for instance, a junkie. Till he decides to make up his mind to change and take measures to changing he won’t, no matter how much he tells people hey! I’m a changed man or pray, He has to decide. We are all as different as our fingerprints and no two people have exactly the same view of life, we all view life from a different perspective. So fuck what you hear on the street; people judging your opinion, your relationship, your achievements and ...

POEM: I AM

Image
I'm the devil in my weakness The one with the trigger The anger in my meekness For lust my soul's eager In fearness I am fearless What if my heart exposes my hunger For my hunger is quite grieveless My want is like a digger It goes deeper than madness Bigger but not better But still in my quietness I hope it doesnt grow fonder I'm sorry I brood in my carelessness I'm sorry I'm the ginger in my anger I'm sorry but nonetheless I'm sorry I'm only human

REASONS WHY RELATIONSHIPS FAIL

Relationships can be stressful can’t it? Guys let’s talk about this. You meet a beautiful girl; she tickles your fancy and everything about her gets you in all the right places, she seems intelligent, put together, she looks like a girl that has a good head on her shoulder, got a smart mouth on her and everything she says makes sense, she’s your type and you just know it. The exact kind of girl you want in a lady, she makes you feel like you finally have someone you know, that someone you can call baby. That one person that is your person. But just when you start committing your all, being the best you can be in a relationship and missing important football matches because of her, you find out that she has two boyfriends, oh plus you making three. Okay not one, two. So you are just one of the many. Isn’t that unfair? That’s unfair don’t you think. Y’all guys that turn to hardcore assholes at the end and assume all girls are two for one kobo, I...

DARE TO STAND OUT

Look at yourself this morning; you’re a human right? The fact that you are reading this means your brain is perfectly okay. You can think, you can reason, you can speculate, decide, and contemplate. You are functioning. You might be deaf but your brain isn’t, you might have an amputation but your brain doesn’t. Your brain is okay, your brain functions so you can think. Now think; am I proud of who I am, where I am, what I am doing, am I trying the best to get to where I want to be, am I taking responsibilities for my failures or looking for who to throw the blame on, am I growing or am I just stagnant, am I doing the right things or looking for ways to just live in youthful exuberance, be a juvenile, delinquent in his ways of thinking, am I wasting my time on productive things, am I proud of how people see me, do I read, study, invest, build, sacrifice or do I just look for ways to cut corners, gossip and party, am I wasting my money on the right things, what do I hav...

FEMALE BEHAVIOURAL ANALYSIS 101: BASIC THINGS LADIES LOOK FOR IN HIM

Image
A blissful October to my beautiful readers out there. Hope life is taking it easy on all of us. I apologize for my break, I had my attention shifted for a while but I'm back! To begin with, statistics has it that an average twenty one years old doll in naija, apart from the "hardcore" SUs have had at least one to two exes. What went wrong? Most reasonable ladies enter a relationship with at their mindsets set on atleast a 10% chance that this dude might become a husband at the end of it all, So what causes breakups in most relationships. We all have one or two or more flaws we see in our guys that we dont like. Some are traditionalist, sexist, proud, demanding, crass, lazy, too exuberant, no goals. And the sad part is they think they are completely fine. *sigh* what can we do than hope and pray. Sorry if I sound one sided but my words are real, you know I'm being honest. Well I'm here today for my ladies. We all are not going to turn out to be nuns so we look at ...

POEM: COMET

I met a guy as brief as the comet So beautiful to experience, so amazing I'm honest He shone when he spoke and for his heart I longet But still he was brief like the sun in the rain forest So tell me heart, why you long for what's not everlasting Why I think of him when I know forever is not forthcoming Tell me why he makes my heart beat faster and slower at the same rate I met a guy as brief as the comet, thats my damn fate So I sit back and all I have are my thoughts My daydreams, his words, our memories, I'm caught Well what can I do than stop myself from getting hurt I met a guy as brief as the comet, my heart I cast lot But so what, I'll still look up to the sky The comet always comes back be it day or nigh' I'll still smile and hope he'll still be mine Though he is as brief as a comet, I love this guy.
