JUST SAY IT

I am sick, really very sick. And I am tired too. I am totally sick and tired of our habits and behaviours towards ourselves. How we take each other for granted and wait for special days or life altering events to say what our hearts have been screaming at the top of its lungs. Really, do we have to wait for Valentine’s Day before our mouths can catch up with our hearts?

I am done and I’m expelling me from that school. So today I am just going to say it. I felt very awful when my grandma died without being able to hear certain things I wanted to tell her or see the things I was hoping to do for her. So I am not waiting for father’s day, mother’s day, sister’s day, or any other day before I do this. Is there even a day for everything?

To my father, its not father’s day today (at least I don’t think so) so I am not saying happy father’s day. I just want to tell you that I am grateful that I have a Daddy that I can play with, laugh with and most importantly dance with (believe me my dad dances well, I am not playing).

And Mum, I love that I can call you many different names that mean the same thing. I love the fact that you and my Dad, your husband, treat each one of us like we were the only child, without letting us forget that we have three sisters.

My three sisters; The Lady, The Amazing and The Awesome. I love the fact that we all have totally different personalities but with the most mind-blowing synergy. I love the fact that in our own ways we are mature enough to make mum and dad the proudest parents to ever walk the earth, while we are still in touch with the child within that allows us just play and laugh a lot (for the laughter part).

I love that my family celebrates every little thing about our members. I do not mean parties o. There is just a way you are made to feel like a super star just because you were picked out to play the keyboard at your primary school end of year party.

To my friends, well I love all of you, and I’ll tell you what applies to you in person. I love that we laugh, and are crazy together. Believe me, if you are my friend, you are NOT normal, anyone crazier than you are should be in confinement. For those of you that I fight with, you add zest to my life, and those who hurt and re-hurt me; well I’ll say you bring drama to the mix.

To everyone I am saying we do not need to have a confessions day to say you love someone, or an anger day to tell someone you are pissed at them. However, if you want to make telling stuff an event, then “With the power vested in me by the words I write, I now pronounce every today ‘Just Say It’ Day”. So you must always say it. Just say it, what’s the worst that could happen?
