Congratulations to Buju Banton for taken home the Grammy for Best Reggae Album at the 53th Grammy Awards. Even with all the controversy, trials and jail time for Buju Banton, his music still stand on top as the top reggae album. I am proud of Buju Banton and all my Jamaican people that we have such a achievement from one of our greatest artist.
Lately with the essence of romance in the air, or whenever it decides to come around, I always thought back to my earlier childhood days and philosophy of not wanting to break a girl’s heart. Heartbreak is a terrible experience especially your first. Some people may be prepared if counseled by someone who have been through or going through it, but for all others, we unknowingly race full speed ahead into the destruction of our hearts. I use to say to my friends when dating, if a girl never been in love before, or been broken down within a relationship, I couldn’t date her because I didn’t want to be her first. Relationships don’t always work out, just as how marriages don’t always work out whether it’s within a month or even 10 or more years down the line, you just never know sometimes what the heart wants. The heart is such a tricky little machine and holds so much power to our well-being. So imagine just something called LOVE, can affect our lives forever or changing our way of thinking, and make us do crazy things we couldn’t imagine ourselves doing such as: not eating, not sleeping, crying day and night, walking with a frown everywhere, getting fat, being restless, becoming stalkers, causing other mischiefs, and so much more because of a heartbreak. Luckily for me I had the will power to overcome my heart breaks and maintain a balance stance with myself, but not everyone is that lucky.
If you are going through a heartbreak, well here are some remedies if applied well, and some goodies of song titles to check out, most notably checking yourself into the HEARTBREAK HOTEL, or some Toni BraxtonUnbreak My Heart, or onto listening to some 808’s and Heartbreak via the talented Kanye West.
A few remedies:
1. Keep yourself busy, stay away from crying by placing yourself in places where you can’t cry. But do try to cry it out your system before keeping too busy, because it might sneak up on you.
2. Share your feelings, confide in a trusted friend and share your views. Get out a good rant and vent is always a good thing to a new begin and accepting what have happened.
3. Take good care of yourself, don’t abandon yourself, most people place themselves in a dump after a breakup, but avoid that and seek help you to recover and be healthy. Do things you enjoy and love, and treat yourself well.
If you are not going through a heartbreak, then I bet you can think back on the craziness that you had went through and be happy you are over and above it. Remember, don’t hold onto pain, just release and let go and be happy.
I guess we must go through it one day in our lives, just as failure, we must overcome and prevail, but I just don’t want to be a girl’s first heartbreak, it would break my heart to hurt her. I just want to love, and love plentiful.
Valentine’s Day is the day people will showcase their love to each and if content to themselves, there is no shame in that. But there is going to be a lot of hugging, kissing, and love-making going down on Valentine’s Day. Though a created day, cupid is going be on duty shooting people with those love arrows, and his crazy ex-cousin is going to be breaking hearts and making people cry and heart-broken on such a day that should be all about goodness and love.
