•Downed & Downer• #GangingCurses
Life should be about thinking positively even when the negatives are inevitable, but then it’s good to know that life does have happy endings for a larger amount of earth’s inhabitants. But there are no happily ever after, and that’s because the story continues.
“Life is not a bed of roses, it doesn’t give to you what you
expect, you take what you need from life, you earn it, force it
out of its cruel hands, just then will it look like a little like a
bed of leaves, not yet flowers, more or less roses.“
-Umoh Etido David
In every true story, tragedy & moments of joy or peace or both are inevitable, and no matter how terrible, (literally & otherwise) a story is, it is someone’s true story.
“Your sufferings today, is no guarantee that you would enjoy or be
satisfied tomorrow; for if your sufferings today has nothing to do
with you building your tomorrow, then I suggest you pencil down
your survival skills of today, because you sure would need them
tomorrow.“
-Umoh Etido David
Downed & Downer
For over 3 & half decades of his life, 93% failure & 7%success, just enough to get him to his current state. Literally a nobody, with senses entangled in thin air & Mother Earth holding on to what remained of him, pulling in deeper & deeper, leaving no chance to her doubts of gravity., apparently 6 feet was a shallow ground. And you ask to tell about Reality?
Well here was his.
Waking up to a grumbling stomach, one whom had food rather too little, barely enough to overfeed a mouse, a Reality which had his riches, happiness and fortunes all tied up to the unbeatable reality of a Unicorn.
And His Reality you say?
The cry of “success at last!” With a thoughts striking emotions after a long run of failure, not lasting his lips for 23 seconds before he realizes the truth in disguise. Life’s an ocean and he’s a dry spot beneath the rock at the bottom, an existing fiction written by the worse author there is to be. That… he was.
Ganging curses, downed & downer he went, as Mother Earth wouldn’t lose her grip; downed & downer, for he’s days were long over before he was born.
“A corrected mistake in life makes wisdom, Wisdom makes opportunities,
Opportunities properly managed makes success;
Success built in consistency makes legend. “
