Under Control

I woke up like every morning having run all night chasing my dreams.
The morning light strike through the curtains.
I have to get up to for real - run after them.
I get downstairs,
I make a bowl of porridge, sugar and sultanas in the mix
A cup of coffee with  soya milk.
I switch on the computer.
I fill in with each breakfast spoons#
I start thinking.

What is the dream?
Who count on me today to make things happen? 
Who is waiting for change to happen? 
Who needs help? 

I froze.

Is everything under control? 
Do I got it all to get their back?

Of course everything is under control.
I have a roof above my head,
my ten fingers,
a brain that sing magic

I have food in my cupboard,
I have few pennies on my bank account,
I have friends, I have contacts.

I can leverage it  all to make it all better.

So STOP freezing it ALL UP
KEEP GOING

Everything is under control.

Remember that, if you leave in a place with no war and you have no life threatening illness,
you have a roof above your head and friends to keep you warm when it is cold.
Everything is under control so keep going, you'll get the back of those who need it...

Horrid Airbnb Experience - Getting in touch with Airbnb

After our adventure with B., the recovering alcoholic, I decided to look through Airbnb for some cues on B. The profile of B. appeared OK. the people on the page did not complain of any issue with him whatsoever. Only one person said that ''he could not stay anymore in their property'' - does that mean that he could stay because he wrecked the place? or because they had a change of plan? Who knows. I could not even bring myself to put my dirty laundry out on Airbnb. B. has mental health issues. Am I the one who needs to make this personal matter public on a social media platform?  So I wrote '' B. cannot stay in my property anymore and I hope that he will find a group of people who will be able to support him''. Is it the appropriate language to use? I contacted Airbnb to let them know about B. - they gave me a call and kind of told me that I need to be careful with the people I am bringing to my home. I told them, yes but there was no indication...

Love can transform you - "Riquet with the Tuft"

A fairy gives an ugly prince named Ricky the gift of conferring wit upon the one he loves the best. Prince Ricky of the Tuft comes to a kingdom with two princesses. The elder one is beautiful but unintelligent and the younger one is intelligent but ugly. The elder princess is saddened that her ugly but smart sister receives more attention than her. One day as the elder princess was going for a walk in the forest to ease her sorrow, she is approached by Ricky who had fallen in love with her after seeing portraits of her that circulated. Ricky asks how a person so beautiful as she can be so sad, to which she responds that she is sad because she is beautiful but lacks intelligence. Ricky then bestows the gift of intelligence on the elder princess for a promise of marriage. A year later, Ricky comes to marry her. She refuses on grounds that he cannot hold her to a promise made before she gained her wisdom. The princess then tells him that she was gifted at birth with the power to transform...
