Starting something new comes with countless challenges, sometimes you end up asking yourself whether you’ll ever get through or not, but I wish I didn’t know that. I wish I didn’t know the difficulties of starting up, just to act surprised when they pop up along the way, when I hit a dead end after another

I wish I didn’t know that “nothing” was going to be easy in life, growing older was never a challenge and all the responsibilities that come with that, just to act surprised when it happens
Most importantly, I wish all the challenges of this life could find a way to solve themselves just for us to be happy, live freely with less to no complications at all.

They say “love is blind”, well I’m not so sure about that, but I know it screws us all. But I wish it was more meaningful to everyone, not just to those who are still searching for it, just for you and I to be able to love without fear of being hurt at a later stage. Or at least to get a chance to act surprised when they show the signs that they’ll break your heart eventually. In fact, I wish there could be a special place for all those who don’t understand what it means to love, all those who constantly take love for granted, messing with other people’s hearts in the process, where they will live to break each other’s heart over and over again. Possibly that might teach them how to give it all without holding back, they’ll get to understand the consequences of their actions and the pain they cause to others.

I wish I can be able to read the gaps between every word like I do to replace every missing letter in every blank page, finish every paragraph I write, the same way I jump to start it when a simple idea passes my mind

I wish I can read your mind, see all the words in it before you incorrectly spell them out with your mouth, before you change the meaning as you pronounced them
I wish the pages in my heart were the files in yours, maybe you’d understand every word I always battle to say out loud when I get overwhelmed by my feelings failing to say what I want to say to you

I wish every black person would understand chasing and hating around white people for the staff they stole from our grandparents doesn’t make us better people, instead it slows us down because we turn to focus on what they do than working on improving ourselves to surpass them

I wish we could put an extra effort on everything we do, not only for a paycheck, but for the love of it. In fact, I wish that mentality could vacate our minds, work to improve ourselves, our communities and everyone’s lives around us instead.
I wish we could all understand chasing dreams is a full time job, not an option to fall back on when 09h00 to 17h00 stresses the crap out of us

It only took one laboratory to create a disease that slowly kills our black nation more than any other tribe, but I deeply wish there could be more black scientists, who will develop the cure for this deadly virus since those who created it can’t seem to be interested in that. They are probably more concerned about the profits they’ll lose should it be available. But we suffer more, what do you expect?

I wish there could be more black doctors who passionately work so hard, not for a paycheck, but to help our brothers and sisters beat the health struggles they’re facing every day.
More black managers who will open the doors when we knock, rather than grabbing everything for themselves. Managers who won’t feel pressured and fear to lose their jobs when they see us coming up the ranks.

I wish we could notice the walls they create to put our eyes on while they’re capitalizing on their dirty tricks. I wish we could all realize they play with our minds, force our attention to things that doesn’t really matter while they take few more steps ahead leaving us behind and blaming each other for our failures. The Guptas, the Zexit, soon they’ll come up with something else to distract our minds, but none will get our land back, nor create much needed jobs, educate and open more doors to get that much needed capital/funding to support our businesses. But our time will be wasted focusing on them, probably their motive. You ever wonder why is it always about exposing a black man, but never about a white man even when they steal millions in our institutions.

I wish our eyes could be open even wider to see the love we all deserve among ourselves, to realize the pain we cause to our brothers and sisters when we lie. No more Pedi’s, Zulu’s, Xhosa’s, Venda’s, etc. but brothers and sisters who are more focused on building the country with the aim of taking over from all the grand pa’s and grand ma’s who are flooding the parliament talking about the future they won’t be part of it.

I wish there could be no kid that had to go through difficulties because of the sins and recklessness of their parent. In fact, I wish food would be accessible to everyone, free of charge to save every kid that’s starving to death all around the world.

I know you pray every day, wishing each day could be different to the other, I deeply wish all your wishes could come true

“It’s all about one day at a time, one day at a time”
