Dear Self
You don't need a lawyer in the eyes of the Father meaning you don't need a pastor to pray for you or the whole congregation to know your problems. All you need to do is close your bedroom door, get on your knees and talk to your God, then stand up and give life another try because in the eyes of the Father we are all equal.

Dear Self
If you're not doing what you love, then you're simply wasting your time. Life is too short. Do what you love.

Dear Self
You don't need another person to fill the emptiness within, you need you, start listening to yourself.

Dear Self
If you quit right now, you will end up where you first began. Remember you when you first began, you were desperate to get to where you are now. You've come so far, don't quit!!!

Dear Self
To understand yourself better, you need to start exploring yourself first, be able to separate what you need and what you want, what makes you happy and what makes you better when you are sad, what you love and what you like.

Dear Self
I thought I needed her to make me happy. That's so unfair of me, how can I expect her to make me happy when clearly I don't know what makes me happy?

Dear Self
Always remember that your dreams are aligned with your siblings' dreams too, meaning they're all depending on you to succeed so that you can help them make it too.

Dear Self
People will provoke you until they bring out your ugly side, then they will play victim when you go there. Beware!!!

Every soul on Earth that breathes,
Breathes under this world's joys and sadness,
Fortunes and misfortunes,
Success and failures,
Happiness and disappointments etc.
Now this means that we ALL FACE CHALLENGES in this life - on this earth.
Many achieve their goals because they lay aside what PEOPLE THINK OR SAY,
They ACCEPT CRITICS and CHEW THEM LIKE GUM then keep on living.

I'm writing to those who have LOST HOPE - REGAIN YOUR STRENGTH!
You shouldn't let circumstances bring you down to your knees - NEVER SURRENDER TO THEM!
You need to decide now what you want and who you want to be, in that very moment - DO IT WITHOUT HESITATION!

The fact that you can still use your mind means you're ALIVE,
It means that you still have the power of CHOICE and the WILL to do whatever your heart desires. BE IN CONTROL, MATE!
People are people and will always be people...
Why worry about them if they don't help you grow?

The question that lies is: "What have you (under such deep circumstances) decided to do?
To be a master over them or a slave under them?

Dear Ms Napoleon

I'm writing this letter to let you know how I feel about you.

Sthandwa sami, I have tripped from the hill of my pride and fallen for you. Please catch me but be careful cause I'm coming in too fast. You have made me fall in love with you so much that my fear of drowning is nothing compared to a life without you.
I don't know whether it's a good idea to tip you off just yet, I've got so much love for you that I can love more than one person and yet I can't because you are more than enough for me. I have only one question. I asked Cupid to ask you, but he never does anything I tell him to do, he is so protective over me.
Anyways here's the question; I know you are afraid of the ocean and right now my love is the ocean, are you ready to jump in?

NB: Be warned, this love is so deep that you might drown if you're not ready, but it is also hot to keep you warm while you are diving deeper and deeper. All this love is just for you to explore.

Dear Self
Rather get broke paying attention to you than get broke paying attention to someone else.

I grew up knowing we are a broken race,
A race that changes smiles to frowns on everyone's face,
A race of pity, a race of self destruction,
A race of slaves, a race of savages.
I grew up knowing that we are the poison to the sea,
Acid to the earth
And pollution to the air.
I grew up embarassed of my colour,
Embarassed of my Nation,
Embarassed of my Continent...

I guess I didn't know better
That one day I will discover of our Greatness.
I discovered that our forefathers walked all four corners of the Earth.

Let me rephrase that...

Our forefathers were acknowledged in all corners of the Earth.
I discovered we were once tutors of the world,
We were once Astronomers of the stars,
Travellers of Mother Earth,
Doctors to the sick
And Founders of great kingdoms like Cambodia, parts of Egypt, America etc...
We were founders of some of the world's oldest civilisations,
The olmec vivilization.

African child, how far have you fallen?

I get so much joy and pride when I look back,
Back beyond the slave's era,
Further before the missionaries,
The beauty I see.
I am overwhelmed by the greatness of our Africanism.

Where did it all go wrong?

We have such great history
But it all sounds like a myth or a mystery
Especially when I say that we once walked tall and high in the foreign lands of America,
Not as slaves but as residents and rulers.
Our history shouts of our greatness,
It tells us that the first man to be saluted as Emperor of China
Was the son of the soil, the son of Africa.
Our history tells a story of our existence in India,
Our great kingdoms in Cambodia and Scotland.
Our history even goes back further to the ancient times of the Bible.
It speaks of ******, a great man in the eyes of the Lord,
The father of Cush, the founder of Cushite, a black nation.

It saddens me to see us disrespect our elders like this
For they hold our rich history.
They hold the bridges we have forgotten,
They hold the secrets of our Nation.
They were there when mama Africa gave birth to us
And we will weep when mama Africa swallows them up.
We will not cry for they have gone
But we will cry for the knowledge we have buried.

If you don't believe me ask the sage Ntate Credo Mutwa.

Wake up Africa. Wake up and Rise...
Rise African Child!
