     The thing with dreams is, they are bigger than what we have and greater than our current capability or circumstance. The dream series is a collection of basically everything I intend to do and a means of offering you an insight into who I am and why I do the things I do. Starting this series is an act of faith because writing it down makes it more than just a mere thought in my head and it becomes hopefully a source of inspiration to you. I have always had dreams of grandeur and more than anything, I dream of saving people and changing lives which is why I am starting the dream series with my biggest dream yet. BUILDING A PATCH OF HEAVEN      I have been shaped by the experiences I went through growing up and for so long I was a misfit, misunderstood and even if I tried my best to deal with the cards dealt to me, it has not been a smooth or straight forward journey. I had a lot of questions and seek to understand the events around me and the circumstan...

So this writer switched the narratives so that in place of the woman in what is generally accepted with a man and I believe that has gone so far in showing how ridiculous those standards and hopefully help others see and understand how women feel about them. Books and discussio...

  Source: Pinterest Dear human,     I saw a video recently, of a young man suicide note, and it became a sort of turning point for me because it made me question my silence. I believed for quite a while that I was not permitted to speak or more like I was scared of speaking up because there is so much I didn't know and I didn't want to make a mistake. I was trying to play it safe, in order not to bring attention to myself. I know now that is an invalid excuse. I can't keep silent any longer, I need to let you know that humanity is lost. Humans you see are products of choice; those we make and the aftermath of the choices others make. The thing is we have been making a whole lot of wrong choices because it has caused more harm than good to fellow humans. I have seen and learnt through history how inhumane we can be. People have such delight in oppressing and feeding off the ignorance of others, the fight for equality has become a show for superiority, less people live outs...
