Insecurities

Everyone has an insecurity about their body.

Our mind’s eye is more focused on it than all the other amazing parts of our being.

It gets worse when the tongues around us amplify it.

But our insecurity is a part of our beauty, and changing it turns the shame we felt in having it into a fear of the after-effects of removing it.

If you do not find beauty in spite of your insecurity, you will not find it without it.

A Prayer

May you never be faced with circumstances that help you learn how strong you truly are.

And if those circumstances come, may your strength be enough to carry you through.

Amen.

– Osasu Oviawe

Capture It

The tragedy of death is the many parts of those left behind that will no longer be expressed.

Death is not just the loss of a whole one but the loss of many parts.

Before you lose the part of you that only that loved one can reveal, capture it, store it: in writing, in film, in art, for memory is a poor store of memories.

– Osasu Oviawe
