Stress & Wonderland
Lately I’ve been so stressed out, panel meeting, work, family life and my personal time…it’s all never ending and often, I forget to take a moment out to breathe and a day off from being a prisoner of time.
It’s all to that I encounter time-thieves! They come along, smiling like the cat from Alice in Wonderland luring me in with ‘it will only take five minutes,’ then stealing 40. I struggle to say no, which is a weakness. When I do say no, it falls upon deaf ears. And tension mounts up and stress rages internally…but I smile with such grace and silence.
Today I treated myself to two new books: Glamorama by Bret Easton Ellis & Gun Machine by Warren Ellis.
Gun Machine was recommended to me by the Sales Associate in Waterstones – I read a few pages and was impressed.
I later returned home and made beef burgers, lettuce, ketchup and a white bread bun, all Marks & Spencer such a delicious collection in my mouth. Now I lay upon my bed, covered in a beach towel and drifting off to wonderland…

4th January 2017 – Spirits/Ghosts
This morning I woke up to face a ghost at the foot of my bed. She was staring at me with such interest and appeared to be intrigued by me. She was small and I say she because she appeared to be wearing a dress and a headband…not that those items make much of a difference in the age. Her eyes were very large (reminded me of The Simpsons) she had a calming vibe about her.
I would like to know if anyone has had a similar experience? Do you believe in super-human/ghosts/spirits visiting us in this life?
How did they make you feel?
Interestingly so, only one friend believed what I had seen. Going with the notion that you are indeed telling the truth – It’s amazing that people no longer accept ‘facts’ as word of mouth. Instead, they demand (not request) demand proof! ‘Where’s the photo?’ then those that are able to produce one are often shot down with questions such as ‘Where’s the video? Who else was there?’
Which, yes I agree! they are valid questions…it’s just that ‘these days’ even when one if presented with factual evidence, one will still doubt and refute the truth.
I ask those refuters of truth, is this because you’re afraid of seeing an aspect of life, through an honest account?
OR do you feel that only God sends spirits/messages to his people and as you deem yourself to be better than the one that is presenting their account, then surely, they must be delusional?
Kind regards,
Unique

I voted to remain IN the EU yesterday. It’s shocking that many voted OUT based on immigration and being afraid of religion(s) shocking because many of you have parents/grandparents that are ‘officially immigrants.’ It’s a shame that ignorance and lack of basic knowledge, influenced masses of people to vote OUT! Following others like herds of sheep…
You all better hope that people like Nigel Farage, Borris Johnson and that dickhead Trump don’t come into power! As it is clear that if they do, the UK will face further repercussions.
That treatment/medicine you or a loved one may currently be receiving is more than likely EU founded and FUNDED! if these big businesses pull out of the UK Then job losses are inevitable! No one is safe…and don’t assume you can flitter back to benefits, if the pound is down and businesses remove interest from our country, then what do we have left to make money and raise or encourage economic growth? Nothing!
Our country was once independent and strong, times have changed now people and you had better hope that current UK leaders are able to negotiate a decent ‘exit trade deals’ or the UK will truly be fucked.
Those that will struggle and pull through are those with common sense. The rest of you and the ones that wasted their votes will suffer the biggest losses. And if/when push comes to shove you better believe I’m looking out for mine.
This is what happens when people only follow the media and random hashtags, and fail to educate themselves on what could happen on a scale this big.
And FYI to all those immigrant haters – immigrants contribute MORE to the UK than take. It’s only a very small percentage that have benefits – but wouldn’t you? If your country was in war and you had no where to go and nothing, not a penny to your name! Would you seek accommodation elsewhere and hope they can get you on your feet?
Many of my closest friends are from somewhere within the EU, some of my lecturers, mentors, GPs, colleagues are EU born…that does not phase me! I’m proud of them.
What ever happened to humanity? And the irony is if the UK can’t save itself from this mess, most of you will be looking to IMMIGRATE to the EU!
Let me know.
Sunday 28th of June, 2015. I kick back with a bright orange notebook from Paperchase £8 and a blue-inked pen, borrowed from a colleague. Aaliyah – At Your Best, remix with R, Kelly playing in the background. I’m happy with my imperfect life.
There are times when I find, I want to keep myself away from the world. But at my best, I’m in love…with my life.
I’ll let you know, I’ll let you know, I’ll let you know…
This is for real people. (The readers.)
There are times when I fall short, of what I say I’m all about.
Let me know, let me know, let me know.
You don’t have to worry.
I live for my family. They’re a positive, motivating force within my life. (Love you all.)
I’ll let you know, I’ll let you know, I’ll let you know. This is for the readers, strictly for the readers.
Moments like this, I cry. Because I miss the pieces of my heart. 1997, 2008, 2013. #EveryHeartbeatCounts
If you’re wondering? You don’t need to worry.
You’re a positive, motivating force within my life.
Three words in and I wonder? Life with you all.
‘I miss you.’

Grateful – Day 3
Death is unavoidable. We are mortal, each and every one of us.
We have a commonality, we are all human.
I’m thankful. For having family and friends. I’m eternally blessed to have a heart that beats…for now “I miss you.”
“Words can’t sculpt what life means to me.” Just know I love you, remember that I always will. Keep in your heart that, even when my heart stops. My love will always go on…for you.
I’m not entirely sorry for all the bad times we’ve shared. Without them, we wouldn’t be so beautiful in mind, body and soul. We wouldn’t stand so strong. So confident.
I wouldn’t be so unique and equally, you wouldn’t be so divine. Did I tell you I love you? Maybe I don’t say it enough. Just know…I love you.
I LOVE YOU.
Even though we don’t speak often enough, see each other hardly? Ever! I love you.
I appreciate the times we’ve spent together. That moment we met, the first time I heard your name, the last time we said goodbye. Our friendship(s) I’ll hold each ‘heartbeat’ close.
Without you, each and every one of you. I wouldn’t be me. I couldn’t be a true representation of Dominique. Without you, each and every one of you. I would be static. I wouldn’t cry, smile, anger, wish or even die? I couldn’t die if inside I’m already dead.
We are mortal, we are living. Don’t waste time on procrastination – spend time LIVING, LOVING and beating in unison with one another.
Know that as we leave our bodies behind, our spirits will continue to light up. Sculpt a bright spirit today.
Become a fond memory. Become an essential life.
Become at one with yourself, others and most importantly…with life.

Identify yourselves.
I’m not on “Over-used street” I’m creating my own path. I’m a creator, although I like to admire aspects around me…
Holding my hand out to you…
I want to immerse myself in your mind, adopt new ways of thinking. See visions unheard of.
I’ve broken the expectation. I’m not average.
I’m unique. I’m blessed. I’m in love with life.
Who are you all? How can I dissect your Facebook persona? Help me!
I’m Dominique. I’m black, dark skin at that, I love my tone…I’m in love with the emphasis my skin places upon my life. Who are you all?
I see no gender, no race, no nationality. Define yourself to me? Passport is not a requisite for this request.
My eyes see no religion, faith or spiritual belief.
I see you. Identify yourself.
ID cards! Name, age, DOB. NO. I can’t comprehend the meaning.
Identify yourselves.
I’m Dominique, I’m in love with words.
Who are you? I want to know.
Basics, no thank you. I hear no language.
I’m Dominique, I love to write.
Working eyes see black…so blindfold yourselves…now we all see black. Who are we? I’m number 1 of many. I watch trees grow…slowly.
Everything you own has been eradicated. IDENTIFY YOURSELF!
“I’m alive.”
Nightmare Before 2015
I’ve been learning about my former classmates, and their confidently attained distinctions; awarded for the dissertations that they submitted in September. Although I’m very pleased for them, It is causing me to stress.
After-all my educational background is in marketing, not English-Language or English-Literature. Therefore I wake up worried and fall asleep stressed.
I need my dissertation to be perfect! If ever such a word was conveyed through art…
Dominique
