You’re alive, you’re in love, he depletes you.
Woke up this morning and Twitter greeted me with rather depressing news that one of the last reminders that voice has magic is gone. She sings like it flows from her toes all the way through her body and ends up in her lungs. Depressing it is, to know that Michael, Luther and now Whitney is gone while there are musicians scared to step up to the plate and sing some real music. Music in terms of values has been on the decline and I don’t think pakurumo is match for the worst song snore Whitney ever made in her sleep. Not hating on his creativity (or obvious lack of it), but that dude just can’t light up a candle stick with his voice. But, to what I think exactly after hearing the news, Bad Company.
As one of my friends said on twitter, she could have lived longer and she could have died earlier. Imagine what would have happened if she didn’t go into drugs.
Some relationships do not complete you, they deplete you. When rolling with someone doesn’t add positive values to you but takes your remaining virtues and replaces them with vices, you know it’s time to go home. When you have a boyfriend who constantly beats you and tells you he loves you, think again, bashing you doesn’t say the story. She had you at ‘hello’, but that time so dangerously marked the start of your decline, or stagnancy, then you know it’s about time.
Relationships do not necessarily have to be romantic to be termed as toxic; it could be family, work or any form of it. Once it is making you go through hell, then get a taxi. Regardless of how sweet sour it is, if it’s hurting, it’s hurting; end it. Someone brought Whitney into drugs, someone introduced dope and weed to Majek Fashek, relationships that brought about retrogression rather than progress. If someone brings you down consistently, the relationship is toxic; and should know the right time to leave…early. Bear in mind, M.J didn’t know his dear Morphine would do him in.
Stand up and leave your Bobby behind, step out of denial; if it’s making you cry, it’s not worth it. Surround yourself with more positive people, drop a note to yourself, speak to yourself, you can be better than you think. Heal the shame and reaffirm that you are not gonna be drawn down by your relationships. Learn the words “Goodbye, I love you”, love them but leave them. Know the right time to hit the road, you may be in more danger by lurking around negative influences.
It’s valentine week (with no public holidays), rethink your relationships and evaluate which is worth holding on to and which should be gone. If he/she is giving you drugs and screwing your brains out and you claim you love him/her, goodluck to you (goodluck, not good luck). Not blaming B.B entirely for the drugs. Not entirely.
On a final note, R.I.P to all the non-famous people who died today, who lived amazing, hard working lives of their own, who toiled and loved till the very end. We may not know your name, but yes, you are worth the mention. Rest in Peace Whitney Houston.

It’s nice. I think you liked her.
I for one, refuse to blame Bobby for Whitney’s demise. I refuse.
We all, as individuals are responsible for our lives. That’s why there’s such a thing as a ‘minor’ and another as an ‘adult’. Consenting adult.
Bobby was bad for her. Why did she not leave him?
Of which – as at the time she died, they were not together. So he introduced her to drugs; she took the baton and ran with it.
Do you think the great One we all must eventually answer to would excuse her? She had a choice – she took it/refused to take it; thereby taking another one.
It’s just sad. I hope Majek can still be saved/helped though.
Nice one.
Thanks sir. I love people with talents and yes, she herself is more than a song.I don’t blame Bobby entirely for the drugs, but one cannot deny the mucg debated introduction. Ultimately, evil is always contagious and good is seldom infectious. Gracias por leyendo
Beautiful piece….i like ur words,my best are ‘take a taxi’…
Thanks much sir
U are welcome…..and am a babe o
Ok. Thank you Aunty
Everybody should leave Bobby alone. Simple.
She’s dead. Another loss for d world. She should’ve known better though.
Take a Taxi and Zooooommm!!!….Truer words were ne’r typed…thanks Kunle for this piece…Well done..
And when you leave your bobby, play yourself “best thing I never had” by Beyonce.
Very cool Stuff, 10/10
Mmmmmmmn.
This is holy writ.
Any relationship that hurts even family, take a taxi.
I agree.
Nice work here man.
Take a taxi, true. But easier said than done. If it had been that easy, she would definitely have done that.
But I’m not disputing your fact.
Hmmm brilliant piece, Kunle. I however agree with Eletrika here. It is easier said than done. Some relationships grow on you so much that ‘taking that taxi’ seems almost impossible. Nonetheless, the right thing has to be done no matter how hard. I guess Whitney realized that too late in her life. As for Bobby, we shouldn’t blame him. After all, he didn’t ‘shove the coke down her nose. He would definitely get his own reward though. Once again, I loved this piece. Thumbs up sir!
DaBossman!
Now you are here; welcome on board. You know my thoughts on this already…
Chairmens! Thanks, Found so much love here already. though the approval period is kinda frustrating..I love it here already/ And I know your thoughts already SIR…. thanx a bunshhh
A nice tribute to a diva that could have ended better in another world and time. Guess you were in a flurry of emotions while writing this, ‘cos there are several typos and omissions all over the work. Watch out for those creepy things next time. Well done.
I ve loved Whitney since I was twelve. It is painful she is gone. I am not even over MJ yet. Hmm… *I dont subscribe to blaming her death on Bobby. Whitney was old enough to make her own decisions and take responsibility for them. For God’s sake everybody knew Bobby was a bad boy… *Good night to Whitney… *I think this article was unnecassarily rushed…
