#GirlLove


Ladies,

How many of us can honestly say we have been genuinely happy for the successes in the lives of the women we know. Not the ones we like of course, but our colleagues, neighbours, acquaintances, cousins, even sisters.

Many argue that another person's success or failure doesn't affect them and that their focus lies on themselves and the wellbeing of the ones they love. But it cannot be so. We either love or we don't. If there is an in-between, that has an inclination. 

Here's why. 

Humans are a race. We cannot detach ourselves completely from our species with the exception to sociopaths. We cannot isolate unassailably from other humans. If we refute, we are either lying to ourselves or too proud to accept.

Women on women hatred is a real thing and ugly at one. But it need not be. I think when a person realises their worth in their own eyes, and equips themselves to pursue their purpose, hatred loses its luster. People with  passion and purpose tend to steer clear of envy. From then on its self love, girl love and one love. We've heard that a happy women is a pretty woman, but I'd say a women happy for another woman is a powerful woman.

My paint palette in white


Sitting across me on the window sill, she looked away with indifference.
I continued my stare suggesting a point of view while she copped a dismal.
I took notice of her seven orbs. Each of it once held a prism of colours keenly concocted.
They looked tainted, worn and unwashed perhaps.
How then is she piled in pride despite the tarnish, those unmasked blemishes?

I continued in wonderment and arrived at a halt.
She knew her value, she knew her power, perhaps.
She knew she was helping create masterpieces, doesn't that make her one?

When you are used, you will fray, tarnish and reduce. 
My smirking gaze transformed to admiration;
and she looked nothing short of spectacular.
Those spots weren't ugly anymore.
Baring those scars attributed to her majesty
