THE TOWER

We're all going up, striving for something,

A better house, better cars, better jobs...

But what really matters the most?

That is the billion dollar question, right?

Why do we do all of these, what is the end point?

We know the end though we don't know _when_ it comes,

But along the way, striving for these things, let us not forget those who love us, those who were there, those we laughed with, those we became stronger with,

This life is indeed vanity but what's more is what comes after our race, 

Will you be the winner of the race or the loser?

Eternity is longer than our mortality,

I can't not make it home after all I've been through here,

So with each floor I climb, I must never forget what lies beyond the top of the tower,

It's either I fall off,

Or I fly beyond,

So, dear reader, what will it be?

Want to fly with me?


From a flower in her garden,

The thin line.

This content was created on the second of January 2026. I've decided to journal about my life now, my lived experiences, claim back my identity. Because for years now all I've been doing is floating. 2025 was a win, but it was all done on auto pilot. I was in my mind most of the time, stuck between the past, present and future, not sure which one to live in. People don't talk about what comes next after you've used up your strength to the point where all you have left are fumes. Everything keeping you steady suddenly runs out and then you're left in limbo, surviving yes but never truly living. You still get things done, still get called excellent but only you know what the voices say about you not yet living up to your potential.  To understand where it all went wrong, first you need to go back to the beginning or rather the end, the time in your life when the camel's back broke. Then retrace your steps, see how it influenced your choices, your habit...

HER

 She was the one. He could see it, touch it and could very well feel it. She was asleep now, in his arms. It was worth it, staying in bed with her like this. It still amazed him. She'd picked him out of every guy out there. This wonderful human chose _him_ to spend the rest of her life with. It was love at first sight.  They'd met in college. She was new to the school, a foreigner and she'd left him utterly breatheles. As usual he was bored in class until she came in through the door. They were having a general subject. Time stopped in that moment. He saw their past, present and future all in that one gaze. She was the one. But why would anyone, especially her, choose him? He'd asked this over and over again. She seemed like an angel always smiling, she was passionate and was also majoring in medicine. He majored in aeronautics with a minor in arts. He was the silent type, and she was too but somehow she'd gotten him to speak, something he rarely did. Her soft smile...

He is.

Wine is sweet. Pain is not. If humans were to choose the course of their own lives, down to the people and circumstances that affected them, how would it look like? What would they choose? How would the world look like without God? The most excellent One, our Creator. Life is unpredictable. But we have the assurance of a constant when all else fails. It is not in the way of man to direct himself. Our choices sometimes lead to peril, but with God tough times are bearable. Even when you can't see what is in front of you, trust Him. He'll make a way, He always does. He is the light that splits the darkness.  His existence is beyond cause and effect. He transcends both life and death.  No name can contain him, no name does Him justice. I though about it and realised the only whole way to describe God is to just say, "He is." Because He is that He is. . . . . . Taiwililly🌼 Please don't forget to subscribe, share and comment!! You know I love youu.😘
