Easter Holidays

Easter is back around and kids are getting annoyingly excited, people are buying eggs like crazy
and stuffing their faces but do you know the actual reason behind it all???

We all love a bit of chocolate but why do we go crazy for each bite at this particular time of year???

The meaning of Easter is supposed to be about Jesus Christ's triumph over death after being crucified. His resurrection symbolising the having of eternal life for those whom believe in Him
(John- 3:16). The eggs we all love are apparently supposed to represent re-birth slash the tomb Christ was buried in, don't quote me but all the books i've read on this stuff pretty much say similar things but take a second to look it up for yaself, i'm just trying to get people to think about the history of the tradition as they munch a piece of their chocy egg.

But check this out, Easter wasn't always the celebration of Christ that it is today. Originally it was a Pagan celebration for renewal and re-birth in honour of the Pagan Saxon Goddess Eastre, so it was similar but they probably did things a bit different. From my understanding I could have it wrong but early missionaries converted the Pagans over to Christianity fucks knows hows they did it or why (need to read some more for that bit) but they supposedly did and when Jesus was resurrected it fell around the same time and the original Eastre celebration so they were both merged into one which we know as EASTER. Only a nutshell some of you out there might care others may not give a shit and just wanna enjoy ya egg give a fuck where abouts it came from. I just feel its important that if you follow certain traditions you should know a little bit about why you do.

No More Drama

Right don't even know where the fuck to begin, theres been so much turbulence in my life over the past few months, so many ups downs and question marks. the ups were joyful the downs were painful and as for the ??? were like trying to solve a Rubiks Cube  blind folded (need I say more). I felt un-inspired to write hense why my blog has less action than a back street hooker on a slow day. All of this shit tho is Life's way of bringing the best out of you, we never know how things will turn out but we always find a way of survival. These days i'm settled in my spirit and so clear headed, pain is love and we struggle for a reson. Struggling gives us what it takes to make it to the next level, pushing us as human beings to new limits. I'm fully refreshed and respawned hash tag 'A New Chapter'.
