My cousin's son told me that poverty is worse than death, but I would rather be poor and unemployed than dead in a graveyard.

You create your own peace of mind.

I cannot attend every funeral.

We are just visitors sent to this Earth in a fleshy craft, then we depart with nothing.

When my heart is damaged to pieces, she brings peace to my heart.

I go months without hearing from so-called friends and family until I lose the desire to respond, so wounded by their lack of interests that I would rather it stay that way than for them to feign interest.

When your heart is damaged, drink bongo yoghurt or fresh milk!

Money is just a tool to be used like a spanner or comb, not GOD. So if I act like it's nothing, it's because I want to live stress free; lack of it must never depress me.

I fix my own earphones (using stronger wires) plus sew torn clothes and footwear to reduce the stress of lack of money to pay for repairs or new ones.

The past is gone but still present in the memory and will be remembered in future.
