Modesty’s Lessons/ A bed of thorny roses

Modesty today, is the thief of joy tomorrow.
And the worst part of this is, it’s your own incompetencies that invite this thief.

Don’t listen to good friends,  their words can be nice, though your attitude may be negative.

But who do you have to blame, when you are the cause of it all?

Sometimes we are so eager to share our emotions, but severely stingy with our tears..

I wish this was never written..but what’s the use of feeling without expression.

The worst part is yet to come. .When after all this, love has to be given..first to yourself, and then to your humble friends through forgiveness..

To those who liked to show you you could be the leader when your replacement was being considered. .by them..

To those who loved you enough to stay silent and watch you fall.. to those who were to later confess, and steal all the joy they previously privileged you with… to love them back is the least you could do.. Love is hard..especially when you’re the one to be loved.. The imperfect Phil who has had to make his mistakes. .The one ..The one..The one who knew he was no good but still expected a better image of himself…

The lazy..foolish..self seeking, incompetent prefect..yes him..The you you are still probably harnessing in this new field..

Get rid of him…feed him with love and ask him to grow..ask him to learn from his past and not repeat that self.. because to love that self again in the future would take your heart to its grave..

You were never really competent Phil. .but at least you have that to learn from..

A part of me wishes that no joy could’ve  come from this. .that sadness would’ve been the ever after. . But the unfortunate reality is that..In order to grow..you have to learn..

This is the point where you thank yourself for your mistakes..for haven occurred earlier than later..Than now.. This is also the time to thank your friends… for their loyalty.. loyalty isn’t easy, especially when it is owed to a stinky leader ..

But if God has lead you to this discovery..you can’t give up on the eminent lesson..it’s all you owe yourself.. My only greatest wish is that I do not end up here again..it’s too painful being the one to love your unpleasant self… So help me God.

Rant over..Thanks to Gideon and Masmadi.
