Day 305

You are responsible for the energy that you create for yourself and you’re responsible for the energy that you bring to others. – Oprah Winfrey

It’s 7: 55 PM on day 305 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, feed myself a banana for breakfast, watch TV, feed myself rice and curry for lunch, tweet about my Clean Water For All Campaign – I decided not to spent too much time tweeting today because my brother was complaining that I was being selfish with the laptop I tried to explain to him that I was trying to change the world but he’s ten I doubt he cared LOL 🙂 – spend some time with my family and brush my teeth once more.

Yesterday on the last episode of her show Oprah said all life is energy and for the life of me I didn’t know she meant until this morning when I woke up and realized that the feeling you give to someone even before you say a word or vice-versa was energy which explained why I felt (and still feel) drained when I’m with my father, sorrowful when my I’m with my mother and resentful when I’m with my siblings. Is the energy you create for yourself and bring to others consistent with the vision you have for your life?

Famous has become a synonym for hero – that’s what I learned today 🙁

It’s 9: 05 PM on day 304 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, watch TV, feed myself Batura and potato curry for breakfast, listen to music feed myself tapioca dipped in chutney for lunch, watch Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 at the Hemingways Mall – it was truly the end of an era when the credits rolled and faded to black it occurred to me that there would never be another Harry Potter movie ever again – go visit my cousin, brush my teeth once more, tweet about my Clean Water For All Campaign – no luck – and watch The Oprah Winfrey Show Finale in primetime – good bye Oprah thank you SO much for all you’ve taught me from my daily routine of keeping a gratitude journal to my love of service you’ve molded me into the woman I always knew I was meant to be and for that I will be eternally grateful 🙂

Yesterday I logged onto MSN with the intention of checking my mail when an article entitled Emma’s Fashion Magic – detailing the history of Emma Watson’s fashion choices – caught my eye and as I was reading it I realized that the media took ordinary people and portrayed them as heroes thus confusing the world’s population as to what a hero really is with that said I would like to tell you what I believe makes someone a hero you are a hero if you walk the elderly across the street, you are hero if you feed the homeless in your community, you are a hero if you take in a stray dog that has nowhere else to go, you are hero if you offer to babysit for free for a single mom who is overworked and underappreciated in short you are a hero if you extended yourself in service of the world. If you had to choose between fame and heroism would your choice be easy?

The most critical choice you’ll ever make is the one you make about what you’re going to do with this. The past is over. The future hasn’t happened yet. The only time is now. – Dr. Phil C. McGraw

It’s 7: 58 PM on day 302 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, feed myself bananas for breakfast, watch TV, feed myself Spaghetti bolognaise for lunch, tweet about my Clean Water For All Campaign – no luck – and go visit some friends – it was so much fun they are such funny people 🙂

Yesterday I was watching an episode of Oprah – we’re a bit behind so it still airs here – on which a nineteen-year-old boy by the name of Clayton was featured – he was severally abused up to the age of six his father urinated on him rubbed his own feces’ in his faced nd locked him up in the bathroom closet – and yet he said I treat everybody with respect even if they don’t deserve it and although I didn’t think much of it at the time this morning I woke up and I remembered the time when my father lifted the chair I was sitting on to hit my mother in victory rather than in fear because I realized that I would never be five and powerless ever again. Are you stuck in a chapter of your life with no way out?

Sometimes you have to put yourself out there even at your own risk – that’s what I learned today 🙂

It’s 7: 45 PM on day 301 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, watch TV, feed myself bananas for breakfast, submit my story to our community’s website – my parents are going to murder me (see why below) – watch TV, feed myself rice and curry lunch, join Linkedin, tweet about my Clean Water For All Campaign – no luck –watch some more TV, feed myself Spaghetti bolognaise for dinner – I made a big mess since I’m only recently getting used to this fork and knife thing but hey what is life without a mess 🙂 – and brush my teeth once.

As you know I believe that if what you’re doing isn’t working you should do something different which is why although I knew that my family wouldn’t be pleased – they think asking for donations is equivalent to begging – I emailed our community’s website and asked them to feature my story. Are you willing to put yourself out there as long as you are not in the line of fire?

You don’t have to do everything exactly like everybody else does – that’s what I learned today 🙂

t’s 7: 26 PM on day 300 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, have breakfast with my entended family at Wimpy – my aunt and uncle have retired and moving to Canada this month and they wanted to treat us to breakfast once last time it was a bit of a hassle for my mother to get both my grandma and I ready but other than that it was fun 🙂 – publish my Kid of the Week feature, tweet about my Clean Water For All Campaign – no luck – read 7 years ago (give or take) on 4 Little Monkeys – a blog post about through
the unexpected – feed myself rice and curry for dinner and brush my teeth once more.

This morning while at breakfast everybody else was eating with a fork and knife and although there was a part of me that wanted to try it I knew that it would only end in disaster so I decided to do what worked for me – I asked my sister to cut the bacon and ate it with my hands along with a couple of slices of toast – and that I guess is my message to all of you, you don’t have to follow protocol if you can’t just do what works for you. Do you waste your life trying to do everything exactly right?

Agreeing to disagree is the only way you can be a creator of world peace – that’s what I learned today 🙂

It’s 8: 59 PM on day 298 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, watch TV, feed myself leftovers from the barbecue for breakfast, tweet about my Clean Water For All Campaign – no luck – feed myself rice and curry lunch,go to physiotherapy – the thirty minutes flew by in the blink of an eye 🙂 –watch some more TV, feed myself Chapati and fish curry for dinner and brush my teeth once.

Yesterday I tweeted Hello World 🙂 What are you grateful for today? I am grateful that I see God in everybody and everything 🙂 and David (@DavetheAtheist) replied Check your vision. Sounds like you’re hallucinating. #atheism to which I said With all due respect I disagree with you and he responded Doesn’t change facts which led to us having a heated back a forth conversation which ended with him saying What an observation. So do you, it’s just a shame that you refuse to accept truth. – I had said that he had a right to his beliefs – and to that I say there is not just one truth but six billion – one for every human being on this planet. Do you have enough faith in your beliefs to be around people who openly disagree with you?

You teach people how to treat you. – Dr. Phil C. McGraw

It’s 10: 23 PM on day 296 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, feed myself toast, mutton sausage and fried tomatoes for breakfast, watch TV, feed myself rice and curry for lunch, do some research on Dementia – it breaks my heart to see my granny becoming less and less of herself and unfortunately it seems that all I can do is sit back and watch because the treatment options for Dementia are very limited 🙁 – read two of the most recent post on Love That Max and Top 9 why you should blog on The Nicky Blog – all the blog posts I read were very good but since I’d never read Nicky’s blog before naturally I was more excited to read that and the fact that I could attest to the 9 reasons why you should blog made it all the better 🙂 – tweet about my Clean Water For All Campaign – yesterday evening Tana (@woveneye3) made a PayPal donation which I will donate to my campaign on her behalf ASAP and Bonnie (@bonnie67) made two more donations – you guys are AWESOME thank you SO much for your support 🙂 – play host to my extended family who came over for dinner – my aunt almost ended up in tears when my father said grandma didn’t remember the names of her girl children because they didn’t take of her my father didn’t mean anything by it but I saw my aunt’s face when he said that and she was REALLY hurt 🙁 – and brush my teeth once more.

Last night after we came back from dinner at my uncle’s a community member of ours – let’s call him M – called and said he would be coming to our house in ten minutes to borrow our GPS and immediately my dad said with urgency to no one in particular M is coming take Nisha to the other room and in that moment instead of feel less than and going to my room like I usually did I said rather nonchalantly what’s wrong if I’m here to which he responded oh no nothing I just thought you wanted to pee which I did not believe for a second but for the sake of keeping the peace I let it go and asked my mother to help me in the bathroom. Have you taught people to treat you badly?
