Originality Works For Me.

There was something someone said to me once, he said " everything wey dey exist, na one person start am" for those who can't read Nigerian pidgin English that simply translates to " everything existing was started by one person ". 

This made me wonder, what if that person after having the thoughts of being a pioneer, decided not to pursue it? How much time did it take before the thoughts and ideas were ready to be revealed to the world? Because if there's anything I've learnt about the human nature is that the fear of the unknown makes humans defensive and possibly aggressive. 

There is a set precedent in human sociocultural characteristics, where everyone is expected to conform to what is considered to be the norm of the society depending on the prevailing culture. Mostly any slight deviation from the norm is met by swift criticism by the majority in the society.

Leaving one to answer the questions, " what am I supposed to be? I decided to offer an answer to that question, because it took me a while of battling with low self esteem issues and worries about being accepted in society and within my family before I decided to be original. What this meant was I had to accept myself first, and if it was okay by me then it should be okay by everyone else, so I didn't have to worry about living my life to please others. 

Originality works for me, and because I set the standard to meet, I can better evaluate my successes and learn from my failures, also discovering my strengths and my weaknesses. So be yourself, be original and don't ever try to be anything other than the you, you can come to love and accept.

Photo credit: Google images So I sat reminiscing about a time past in my life. Way back in primary and secondary schools, learning to speak fluent English Language, the Additions, Subtractions and further mathematics amongst other subjects. But most outstanding about that time were the songs we sang growing up in school. None of them won any music awards back then and I'm almost certain none would win any now. (Not in the present times we find ourselves living in.) Photo credit: Google images Here's the Lyrics to my favourite song back then: shoutout to all who knows this song. "The day is bright, it's bright and fair, oh happy day, the day of joy. The day is bright, it's bright and fair, oh happy day of joy". Then for the fun of it overzealous persons like myself would scream out "mama jollof rice" just because it pisses off one of the frustrated school teachers whose job it was to try and educate us stubborn youngsters.

Photo credit: Google images Your worst enemies might be the ones you call best friends and your best friends could be your worst enemies. We eat, we drink, we smoke, we dance, we laugh, we talk, we keep our days memorable and our time spent together has become more or less daily rituals. Photo credit: Google images But Bob Marley sang "Who the cap fits" and I listened. Now I keep picturing the cap and imagining it's size and the shape of head of every one of my foes and my allies. Photo credit: Google images The hands on the clock keeps on ticking and I'd only stop telling time when I'm asleep or dead and gone. So who the cap fits would have to wear it, so I can tell of what use they are to me and what purpose they serve for good or for evil.
