this.

I stumbled across this while looking through sunsetsandmoonlights tumblr (http://sunsetsandthemoonlight.tumblr.com/post/23244039129/if-i-were ) and decided to do one as well.

#1 if I were a time of day id be 5 to 6 pm because its happy hour,every one is done with work for the day and unwinding with a cold beer.

#2 if I were a day of the week id be Saturday, lazy day. It’s the day you get to sit back and relax catch up on some t.v and best of all you know you have one day left of the weekend to look forward to.

#3 if I were a month id be December, its the month of family. As a child I hated the village as an adult come jan 1st all I can think is I can’t wait for 22nd dec to come back around so we can all pack up and go spend sometime in the beauty that is my hometown.

#4 if I were a piece of furniture I’d be a la-z-boy (until today I thought it was spelt lazy boy). One of those old ever so comfy leather recliners that make you think you don’t really need a bed,you could just fall asleep there while you watch t.v.

#5 if I were a direction I’d be East as its the direction most related to the star the three wise men followed to find baby Jesus. And I come from East Africa.

#6 if i were a tree, I’d be a coconut tree,it just screams beautiful sandy beaches and perfect bikini weather.

#7 if I were a musical instrument, I’d be a Spanish guitar. Not the most original answer but there’s something about Toni Braxton’s song Spanish guitar that makes me think it wouldn’t be so bad if I was played like a Spanish guitar.

#8 If I were a kind of weather, id be that morning fog, when it’s still kind of cold and misty but you know the sun is going to come out soon so you aren’t too worried.

#9 if I were a color, I’d be red. It’s vibrant,it’s loud and it just doesn’t care plus I look really good in red.

#10 if I were an emotion, laughter or happiness,there’s no better food for the soul than laugher.

#11 if I were a flower I’d be (I’m not really a flower person so anything I pick will be a lie). So I’ll switch this to if I was a type of food, I’d be a greasy very unhealthy cheese burger topped with bacon. You can never go wrong with a cheese burger.

#12 if I were a sound,I’d be that silence you hear in the dead of the night,everything is so quiet and yet you still recognize the silence. Hopefully that qualifies as a sound.

#13 if I were a fruit, if be a mango. I just love them.

#14 if I were a place, I’d be the highest peek of a mountain,with people forever trying to reach me at the top while I just lay there with what I can only imagine is a beautiful view.

#15 if I were a room in a house I’d be a walk in closet filled with loads of sexy high heels and gorgeous dresses.

#16 if I were a scent I’d be hypnotic poison by Christian Dior. Its been over 6 years and I have still failed to find a perfume I like better than hypnotic, I want this to forever be my scent.

#17 if I were a body part I’d be the ears,you can learn a lot by just listening.

#18 if I was a song id be ‘kiss me’ by sixpence none the richer. I’ve loved that song for so long,it just might be my wedding song if I get married.

#19 if I was a story I’d be ps.i love you,a typical romantic story about love that had me in tears the first time I read it.i had to take breaks from reading that novel because my tears were getting out if control and I was in public.

#20 if I were a pair of shoes, id be a pair of sexy 5inch leopard print Christian louboutins.

#21 if I were desert I’d be a hot chocolate pudding,the kind they serve at nandos,so chocolatey I want to be at nandos right now.

#22 if I was an era…..I can’t decide,I’d love to move through each era starting from the 50s and pick out what I like from each one.

And just like that I’m done,it’s sort of like 22 random things about me :)

1.“Whomsoever you encounter is the right one”
This means that no one comes into our life by chance. Everyone who is around us, anyone with whom we interact, represents something, whether to teach us something or to help us improve a current situation.

2.“Whatever happened is the only thing that could have happened”
Nothing, absolutely nothing of that which we experienced could have been any other way. Not even in the least important detail. There is no “If only I had done that differently…, then it would have been different…”. No. What happened is the only thing that could have taken place and must have taken place for us to learn our lesson in order to move forward. Every single situation in life, which we encounter, is absolutely perfect, even when it defies our understanding and our ego.

3.“Each moment in which something begins is the right moment”
Everything begins at exactly the right moment, neither earlier nor later. When we are ready for it, for that something new in our life, it is there, ready to begin.

4.“What is over, is over”
It is that simple. When something in our life ends, it helps our evolution. That is why, enriched by the recent experience, it is better to let go and move on.
I think it is no coincidence that you’re here reading this.
If these words strike a chord, it’s because you meet the requirements and understand that not one single snowflake falls accidentally in the wrong place!

Be good to yourself.

Love with your whole being.

Always be happy.

You see I loved hard once, but the love wasn’t returned
I found out the man I’d die for, he wasn’t even concerned
In time it turned,
He tried to burn me like a perm
Though my eyes saw the deception, My heart wouldn’t let me learn
From um, some, dumb woman, was I,
And everytime he’d lie, he…
