I haven't blogged in a while but I was just reminded of the most beautiful I ever saw the other day and had to blog it!

Just now I sat on my bed and looked out of my bedroom window and for like 3 minutes the sky was ever so bright blue the clouds were clear and defined and the Sun's light just rested lightly in the atmosphere bringing out the best in the beauty that had already captivated me, but it gets better! The trees were being pushed left and right by the wind just swaying from side to side and that is what reminded me of an image I would never forget.

I was playing Worship music the other day and I looked out my window (as I always do lol) and I saw the trees swaying in sync with the music, it's as if the trees were dancing to the Song worshiping with me! It was sooooo amazing, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I was filled up with so much Joy and immediately felt the Love of God.

I really don't know the exact reason why I felt to write this but I want whoever reads this to know that God isn't just one man sitting in the sky controlling the whole world, He is sooo much more than that and is in the very little things as well as the big things. He knows how much I LOVE Nature and in Him showing me the acts of the trees He was showing me How much He Loves ME! Just wanna let you all know that He loves you too, He really does! *Big Smile*

God Bless

What I Do

Incase you guys are wondering what this blog is actually about and what I do, it's a writing Blog Lol. I really enjoy writing like I've said many times and this Blog hopefully reflects that. I write different things, I love writing Poetry- it's just beautiful and extremely theraputic, I also enjoy writing stories which I haven't started on here yet but I will do once I master how to write a short story. I don't know what to call the other type of writing I do, I hope it's motivational but that depends on how the reader perceives it so I guess that one is down to you guys to decide but yeah in general I think I just like to write words, I may not have an aim at times but I just write and go with the flow.....

So yeah, if you have any comments, criticisms, feedback bla bla ladi da you can contact me on Facebook (Tobi Oyedele) or follow me on Twitter: @FloeticJustice or just drop a comment. I'm an open notebook, I'll take what you jot down (Just tried to do the wink face but it looks nasty so *wink*)...

God Bless Y'all

Weird Is The New Cool....

It seems the 'weirder' you get these days, the cooler you seem.
I wonder why that is?
This doesn't just go for fashion, but in what I call 'Cyber talks' too, I call it that because I find that a lot of people talk a certain way on Facebook, Twitter etc but they don't actually talk like that in real life. It's easier to pull off 'cool' on the internet than to actually be cool in real life, probably because it's easier to type than to actually speak.
What I don't understand though is, how did everyone's perception of 'cool' become one all of a sudden? If you're not a certain way you're not cool, but how did that certain way become cool??

Cool to me is individuality, to be honest that's what attracts me to humans both male and female, the more different you are as an individual the more interesed I am in you. In my circle of friends we all have different characters and it's the one that's most different to everyone else(society) that I consider to be the coolest.
I Must admit I also find myself to be extremely cool coz I believe in all honesty that I am very different; I say, do and wear a lot of things that everyone else might have opinions on but their opinions don't phase me and THAT is what I consider to be cool... Just being you!

A lot of people want to be unique which is good, but we are naturally unique so therefore you trying to be unique makes you like everyone else becuase you're trying to be what you're not and what everyone else is as the 'Unique'image ends up being the common image. But you just being you IS being unique...Hope you get what I'm trying to say here?

All in All- If you don't find colourful beaded bracelets, bangles, strange rings, long chains, crazy hairstyles etc attractive but wera it all because it's what everyone is wearing...Please STOP! Looking like everyone else isn't cool. We can't stop what fashions come out so there will be people who have many items in your wardrobe in their wardrobe also, however.... Fashion isn't what hangs in your wardrobe, it's how it's worn on your body.



God Bless

To anyone that reads this,

I Haven't been blogging much because Uni, Life and Laziness got the best of me I'm afraid...... (But that's not all)

I have to admit I've been very scared to Blog as I tend to think that many people will not like my Blog or won't find it interesting but I've realised that there are equally as many people that will like my Blog to those that don't like it so that shouldn't stop me from writing. That goes for everything else in life, we tend to hold back because we are scared of what people may think but the world isn't a one way system, it's not over if some people don't like what you do...they don't have to! I Enjoy writing, I LOVE writing and that should be all that matters. There will definitely be someone out there who will appreciate your talent but you will never know who that person is if you don't do what you do and they will never discover your talent to like it if they don't see it.

Be confident in what you do, we all have been blessed with gifts for a reason and that reason is not to keep it in the box.

God Bless You All

You Can't Take What's Mine!

Can I have it back now please?
You have proven your point!
You had the capability to walk in my life and do as you pleased
No, that was an audacity
You proved your point indeed

Maybe it was the way you looked at me and told me I was beautiful
But thinking about it, you didn't exactly say those words
But somehow that's how you made me feel
You were careful not to give so much away
And made sure you knew the right things to say
Especially on that day
Yes you sure proved your point, Touche!

You managed to persuade me that you were the only one for me
But not once did it occur to me that I wasn't the only one for you
How could I be so silly?
Maybe it's because I thought you were true
I must say, you proved your point for real
A round of applause to you.

You worked your way in and made me open up to you
You found the right button to push to make me fall in love with you
And that was even before you allowed me to give myself to you
So now you have me emotionally and physically
I'm afraid you've proved your point quite clearly
Because now you've robbed me of any pride, dignity and identity I ever contained
You walked away leaving me empty, lost, broken and confused
And that's how I remained
Oh you have proven your point, YES! I'll say it again

So now I'm on my hands and knees picking up the pieces
And trying to fix me
I'm almost there, but there's one thing missing
And I'm sorry but that's one thing I'll be needing
So if you please? coz I kinda need it to live
Coz though there are many things I am without you,
Dead didn't quite make the list
So well done, you've proven your point
But can I Have it back now please?
Even in the wretched, broken state it's in- I don't mind
As long as it beats and allows me to breathe
And because that's one thing I can say is  still mine
I've learnt my lesson now I'll be more careful next time

Wait! before you hand it over, I have one question
Why did it have to be me?

Another One By Maya Angelou

Still I Rise




 











 
  You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.

Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.

Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise.

Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops.
Weakened by my soulful cries.

Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don't you take it awful hard
'Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines
Diggin' in my own back yard.

You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I'll rise.

Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I've got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?

Out of the huts of history's shame
I rise
Up from a past that's rooted in pain
I rise
I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise
   

Phenomenal Woman By Maya Angelou

Maya Angelou is my favourite writer and Poet. I Just Absssooolutely Love Her And the way she writes is amazing! Here is one of my favourite Poems she wrote, it has such a feel good effect to it, just so wonderful :-)
Below the poem is a link of Ruthie Foster's song version of the poem, I was a bit weary of it but it's actually beautiful and amazing.

Embrace your Beauty ladies because each and every single one of us are Beautiful, and I actually really and truly believe that! God Bless.


 

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them
They think I'm telling lies.
I say,
It's in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It's the fire in my eyes
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing of my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me.
They try so much
But they can't touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them,
They say they still can't see.
I say
It's in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
Now you understand
Just why my head's not bowed.
I don't shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It's in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
The palm of my hand,
The need of my care,
'Cause I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
