Appreciation

By -

I like to believe the universe is at balance. The good and the bad all cancelling out in alternates. But today, I'd like to ask, is the bad in your universe, in your life being cancelled out by good?no, wait. I'll do you one better, is the good in your life being appreciated,?
Not playing blind to all the bad that's happening but life has a lot of good things going on for you. I'll be more particular with the good you'll be reading about today. Opportunities.

Opportunities offered are heavy. They accompany with them a love, a trusting in you, a belief in your abilities. There's a whole lotta pain and loss in unappreciated opportunity. 
Dating is an opportunity to be with someone, Moving in with someone is an opportunity to a friendship, Internship, Business partnerships, Caretaking, House keeping, Baby sitting. Every interaction with people we make are opportunities to do much more that we sometimes take for granted. That we sometimes don't appreciate enough.

We need to understand while not in a replica manner, we are replaceable. They can date other people, they can employ other people, they can choose other people over you. But at the end of the day, they chose you. Please, don't fool yourself, it's not because you're the best, it's not because you're the tallest, the richest (oh God I hope Mr.Gates isn't reading this because then, I could be wrong), not because they're desperate and sure isn't the reason you're thinking, that's just your ego talking. Unless you're thinking it's only because you're very lucky.
So again, I'll ask. Are you doing enough to show them just how much gratitude you harbor?

Do your best to be the right choice they ever made. 
Love them back as hard as you can, appreciate them everyday. 
Meet deadlines, get your work done in the best modes your can master.
Keep everything entrusted to you safe and in pristine condition.

Whatever opportunity you're offered, taking it should mean that you will deliver. It should mean that you will do your best to do just that.

And that is all the appreciation the world needs. You being grateful, you doing everything you can to show you are thankful for every opportunity. 


Let's go back to the Basics.

Life Goes On

  By this point my emote is ‘a guy that writes about things we already know and don’t really think about' and no shit Sherlock, the blog is called Basics. Anyways, one of those things happened again, I zoned out and life started reflecting. We all know that life goes on, or have at least used the ‘time waits for no man’ proverb in those primary school JESMA compositions (yuck), but do you ever really think about what it means? I know you know what it means, but do you ever really think about it? Life is the greatest show ever with extremely unprecedented twists and turns right thereafter WWE. But that’s the thing, life hasn’t been updated yet so you cannot pause or simply skip parts that you aren’t the audience for, you go through it anyways. A lot of resonance with life moving on is almost always attached to death and helping people that are grieving and that’s true but I think the more important part is to understand that life goes on even when you are alive. You see friend, li

The Art of Gifting

I intended to write about this way early into last year because of how shit the gifts I received that year was, but life comes at you so fast I hadn’t gotten time to research and do the yadayada before writing an article such as this. But then I met someone that reignited that spark only this time it was different, the complete opposite. They gifted me with sequences that were the most thoughtful gifts ever, and I mean ever. But then it occurred to me that it was much more than the thoughtfulness of the gifts and thus we are here to explore gifting a little more. I am overflowing with emotion over those gifts as I write this; Before we delve into it, love languages are meant to be independent as well as integrated and as such, this article is not meant for gifters and lovers that only understand love in gifting rather this is an article for you if you intend to express a little more love into the world, to your loved ones, to your victims. You see dear reader, gifts aren

The Long Distance Dilemma

By -

If you are in a long-distance relationship perhaps it isn’t the best thing for you to read my thoughts on it. You would not agree one bit with everything else in this piece but if you do insist on hearing me out- a grain of salt. (and no, Juja and Rongai do not count as a long-distance relationship). The following is a conclusion I came to on why I, which of course denotes personal preference, would not be in a long-distance relationship. Of course through a multitude of conversations with has-beens and even currents in long-distance relationships. So I know what you’re thinking, “he’s probably going to say his love language is physical touch and yadda yadda,” but you’re wrong. If you’ve read my blog you know I don’t believe in those. My opinions are not that superficial, unfortunately. I found that like a lot of things in life, ldr’s are difficult and complicated but basically in my opinion it came down to this. Love, in its essence, remains unaltered by distance. From how
