Hello people,
Welcome to the Fantom Diaries.
I hope it isn't so obvious that this is my very first attempt at writing, talk less of blogging (which i wonder why it took so long though) *covers face*. Anyhow, this is an exclusive pass into the mind (a place i like to call the Opera house) of a very reserved guy. Please note this is a lifestyle blog & i would try to cover all spheres of life *fingers crossed*.
here goes...
INTRODUCTIONS? (pls view my profile...)
*now listening to Frank Ocean - Strawberry swing*
Being the first day of July (as at when i wrote this...ooh happy new month by the way) and also the beginning of the second half of the year, I'm sure we all have so many expectations & goals. Anyways, I wouldnt want to take much of your time considering you might have some reflecting to do; but I would like to leave you with a little something i got inspired from in church, which you can also add to your food for thought.
I AM GOSSIP
My name is Gossip.
I have no respect for justice.
I break hearts & ruin lives.
I am cunning, malicious & gather strength with age.
The more I am quoted, the more I am believed.
I flourish at every level of society.
My victims are helpless.
They cannot protect themselves against me because I have no name & no face.
To track me down is impossible.
The harder you try, the more elusive I become.
I am nobody's friend.
Once i tarnish a reputation, it is never the same.
I topple governments and wreck marriages.
I ruin careers and cause sleepless nights, heartaches and indigestion.
I spawn suspicion and generate grief.
I make innocent people cry in their pillows
Even my name hisses.
I make headlines and headaches.
I am called Gossip. Office gossip - Shop gossip - Party gossip - Telephone gossip.
This is who I am.
Interesting right? So the next time you want to say something about anyone, stop and THINK!
T - is it true?
H - is it helpful?
I - is it inspiring?
N - is it necessary?
K - is it kind?
I'd leave you now to think this through, but before i go here is a picture (from an advertorial which i shall share with you soonest) of me playing a tune to the poem above in my Opera house *lol*
See you soon.
With love from the Opera...
....its the Fashion Fantom
