Keep on Walking
Feet, I believe feet are the most overlooked part of the human body, nobody talks about feet unless they are on a fine ghel or some idiot decided to take his out of their shoes rendering the environment uncomfortable. I will never understand why people torture others like that, anyway I keep mine clean woe unto you if you don't.
Do you ever think to yourself, what would you have been without feet? No offense to anyone with two left feet but just take a second to imagine. Tragic right? Feet move you from point A to B, they carry your ungrateful body around without complaining. They never fuss about anything they just up and go. And if you are a lady with good feet (and legs) people of my gender loove looking at those too.( Take better care of them though)
Feet are by far the strongest part of the body, well unless everything else fails and your feet cant carry you anymore, or if you fall head over heels also,lol.
But really, how strong are your feet? Do they have the strength to walk away from places and situations that don't excite you no more? Do they walk away from toxic people? Do they run to futuristic opportunities? Do they help you jump to conclusions?(No that has to be the female mind).
A recent survey puts youth at the helm of depression related cases. A higher percentage of depressed citizens are the youth. When I talk about youth I mean roughly from age 18-32, not the octogenarians who head youth dockets and high ranking positions in government. The system has failed and the biggest casualty are youth. This in turn has escalated the use of drugs and substances. They want a quick fix. They joke about , share memes and laugh about their situation then they go home and want to shoot themselves in the head. But when they think of the next high it entices them to be hopeful for another day. They have joined gangs because there was nobody to hold their hand and show them the way. They want the quick money and will do anything to get it because they live for today, nobody gave them a job with their degrees, they don't even remember what they studied. They will drink themselves silly and repeat. Damned if they do damned if they don't
Divorce numbers are higher than marriage registrations. People want the wedding but can't take the Marriage. It was just yesterday the interwebs were awash with how person X got hitched to person y immediately they got a divorce. People are married to their spouses but are in relationships with other people. Is it because we lack the patience or is there no willingness to commit. I was talking to someone afew days ago. They were saying how a person is raised and the environment they grow in determines alot how that person ends up. I agree because the generation today is the same one that watched their fathers marry other wives, they are the same ones who grew up with single mothers, they are the same ones whose childhood was cut off to become deputy parents when their own parents would always come home in a drunken stupor. They are the same ones who grew up with their grandparents because their folks were busy making a living and forgot about making a life. You see, how do you expect someone from a long generation of trauma commit yet his/her patience to commit ran out even before they tried? Behind the mask that is the Happy face there's a sunken spirit and a tortured soul.
It's become common to hear people say the middle class are just one disaster away from poverty. True! Yet they are the same people who don't vote ( nothing like vote wisely, they don't vote at all) They are comfortable with their life and will only complain about the economy when there's a hashtag on Twitter, keyboard warriors, they picket online. Behind their rosey life is a myriad of loans servicing each other. They can take their children to model schools afford a vacation maybe twice a year, and keep a domestic manager they treat like a robot. But when they go to bed they cant sleep, if that job was to end today they would end too. Their wives spend the entire day shopping and gossiping with housewives of their kind, what happens when they can't afford that lifestyle anymore? They live from paycheck to paycheck. ( Modern day, hand to mouth)
Can your feet carry you away from situations like this? Mental health is a key thing to look at in this day and age. I was talking to my grandma the other day and she intimated that back in the day she never saw things like this. There was sanity and that in as much as the modern day problems require modern day solutions, they are man-made. Society needs an overhaul. How she stays afloat in the shitstorm the world has become? She says, keep walking dont let your disapointments catch up with you. Her personal favorite? An idle mind is the devil's workshop. Her feet been strong for 76 years.
Most people in your circle will not understand the burden you bear within and that's fine. There's need to find balance. There's need to become aware of yourself and do things that please you. Yes your surroundings might not favor your advancement but there's always a way around it. Something will always come your way and disrupt your comfort, get prepared.
Before you make demands on 14th being a month of love (who comes up with these things??) Spread the love. Take your time to understand your partner. Engage in other activities that excite both your souls, be different. Explore each other in different ways. Listen to what's not being told. Be patient with them, drop your conditions but make known your intentions.
Stop criticizing and look at things from other perspectives, put yourself in other people's shoes, make new friends that are good for you. Empathize and think outside the box. Lets change the society one person each. Spread the love as you keep on walking.
