One on One with Saccheen

 










Being young in this world is by far not an easy journey riding on a roller coaster for five hours straight would perhaps be a much more easier task. That's how the journey is really at first we are filled with excitement ready and willing to be taught, grabbing the instructions as we go on our ride. As the journey goes on and on we  have to take matters into our own hands understand how our mind works and what is right for us. We will throw up now and again and we may have friends and parents to wipe up our mess but there are times when we have to decide whether or not we will sit in our own mess or learn to clean it up ourselves.
  I have come to understand a trend with young people, we are so dependent on those around us especially in how we think. Some of us are simply robots walking on the face of this earth. To be different today is to be called ugly or lame. Young people will spend what little they have to simply fit in, to attend all the parties and look fashionable. When you strip yourselves of the clothes and the jewels is there much left? what do you stand for what do you represent? Why aren't more young people motivated to make a change in this world why not save the little you have and make a better life for yourself in the long run?
   We crave attention as young people, the more we get the more we want its like a drug and some of us will do any and everything to get it a form perhaps to validate our existence to make us feel better about ourselves. I used to crave attention due to having low self esteem and people used to have certain perceptions about me. I used to be one of those girls who wanted to fit in who would dress to be seen by men. When you go through life and you are shaken and hit by certain situations you wake up and learn and change the path you are on. I don't claim to be perfect because God knows I'm far from it but with each and everyday I try to do one thing to change this world if it's even an uplifting word to someone. I'm not here to judge anyone or the path you have taken in your life all I'm trying to say is ensure that the path you have taken is one you will be proud of. Don't do what it takes to fit in with everyone because believe it or not the world needs young people who will walk out of that crowd. Value is something that is very rare in today's generation. When you put yourself out to the world are you representing your true self or simply just putting out what you believe will get you recognized.

Church ministry without God

Have you ever been to a church service and when the singers are singing you feel nothing? You can hear the words coming out of their mouths but they have no  conviction whatsoever? Music is one of the most important parts of church ministry and if God isn't in it, it shouldn't be called Gospel music to begin with. Some singers in church sing for self! They know they are blessed with beautiful voices so they use the church to showcase it but it isn't about ministry. It is simply to let people know what they have going on. They stand before you and they have blank expressions on their faces, while they sing such powerful lyrics. They aren't moved by it but they somehow expect that the congregation will be. The next issue is that of the modern day Gospel music. Call me old fashion but it isn't my flavour at all. Why should I have to be wondering whether I'm listening to Gospel or I'm at a dancehall event? Why does the church have to change itself to resemb...

Loving a black man that doesn't love me

Image source: Google Images His beautiful dark skin made rich from the earth, his physical strength supporting where I am physically weak, his beautiful smile and then the depth of his speech. In a world where the wrongs that he has done is spoken about more frequently than what is good about him. I see the beauty in black unions,I see the beauty in black souls connecting, I see beauty in being by his side. The issue is, he no longer sees beauty in me. We walk paths these days paved with the broken connections. Couples who once professed to be so deeply in love now pretend to not know each other. We walk paths  where you can pour the purest of love into the vessel of a man/woman and they remain empty. On one side, we have black men who believe that black women have lost their worth. They have lost the meaning of what it means to be a Queen. The black man believes that the black woman has wrapped herself in the labels that society has placed on her. The black woman is ofte...

The Jamaica of tomorrow

When shall the change come? Crime and violence ago continue and mash up Jamdung? Street lights come on at night and our window lids we shut tight tight No kids on the street, no time to meet and greet Why can't we no longer walk at nights? Why we don't have no peace? Police men guard the streets  Kids run quickly pass them not sure if they police or just undercover gunman and thief Thousands complete their university education but student loan awaits them in every gleaner publication Jamaica is such a beautiful nation, nice food and nuff happiness and sweet jubilation Wait a moment and turn the  TV off the international station Turn the dial to our local station No more happiness and sweet jubilation Blood flowing in the streets of poverty and ever increasing destruction You have the answers? Tell us how we need a change in politics Five years time and we still have the same corruption  You tell me to smile because better must come I ...
