The Impact thereof!

Hi

You might have seen this post coming, if you know me personally. The matter of doing your best to ensure you find rest from my previous post literally left me feeling a way having recently learned of the loss of the King of Wakanda, Black Panther, Dr. Chadwick Boseman. An everlasting urgency of giving it all you have while time still allows is undeniable now more than ever. Just the other day, I was going crazy over the prospect of Wonder Woman’s new Body Armour, to an extent of even posting it on my WhatsApp status with an absolute wall to block any comments or thoughts to whoever does not get my fascination with Science Fiction, particularly those from Marvel Studios, as movies. What I wrote went along the lines of emphasizing that me enjoying this kind of movies has nothing to do with my maturity and that it is a preference that requires no one’s approval or understanding. I know right, sound a bit sharp. Here me out.

When watching the Superhero movies that indeed seems to be unreal and would not happen in “real” life, there are sentimental scenes like when T’challa was questioning his readiness and abilities to lead a nation. His father said given that he is a good man; it will be especially hard for him to lead. How many times have you had to find a sense of reassurance from someone you respect when in self-doubt? How many times have you had to pray for God’s lead in your life as what was ahead looked and felt a bit too much? Relatable. If it isn’t Iron Man, thereby sacrificing himself, withstanding the snap, for the rest like many other parents working hard there and there to make sure their loved ones get a chance at living the best life or be able to afford the best that life can offer. May I talk about Captain America who had to give way to a new Captain for he needed just one last chance at spending time with the love of his life, like many of us who would give anything just to see, talk, sit, dance, laugh, eat and share a moment, even if is just one moment, with someone we’ve lost. Make up for lost times. Relatable.

The challenging relationship Thor has with Loki, from which it is proven that family, is not always just about Blood. Do you understand that indeed in real life, some of the best “sibling” relationships are formed, maintained and sustained because it is a matter of love beyond genetics? A choice to value someone’s presence in your life as family. There is definitely lessons on sacrifices, goodwill, friendship and leadership to continue to feed on from the superhero movies. I would not dream of missing getting emotional every now and then while watching these marvelous productions. This is so because I can simply relate, having a chance to let my imagination run wild, while having fun.

This is why; I felt some numbness over the passing of Dr. Chadwick Boseman. It was an unusual sensation for after all, he is a "celebrity". It is rare for me to be this moved over celebrities. Through his talent, as thee Black Panther, his king-hood came to life to carry on a legacy, I found a sense of pride in being an African. I definitely learned a few things about my African history also. Immeasurable impact now considering it is heritage month. I felt proud watching this marvel of a movie. To think, I enjoyed his acting while he was in a real life war like the Infinity War story line in Avengers Sequel, where time really was of value and doing his best meant inspiring us through his acting in movies, overwhelming really. I feel he had to be a hero to himself to do all that. I do not know how his loved ones handled it, I cannot even imagine. I can only say that, the impact he had in my life through his acting will forever resonate with my respect for time. I feel like I still have a long way to go, to get to that level of valuing time. Absolutely!

The matter here is that, I have found new respect for time through the man’s impact not only through his talent of acting, but in the end, through the circumstances that lead to his passing. There is no better time to be grateful for life and the grace bestowed to us. It feels like we maybe undeserving, considering. A life best lived inspires even when you did not personally take part in it. That is the impact thereof.

As I wrote on Facebook if you follow me, after a day or two of literally having no real ability to come out and say so, as I felt only my brother would get me regarding Black Panther’s passing, let me spread it even here: A man who respected time and the value of it. He did his best with what he had. Enough inspiration for the rest of us! I will forever remember my obsession with your King-hood in Wakanda and the charm in your smile during interviews as I went through YouTube videos! 2018... I remember going to the cinema not once but twice ...and every single time I stood up like a maniac following your lead, saying "Wakanda Forever". I'm glad I went crazy over Black Panther! Rest...

Your Best Matters as it inspires best. Time is of the essence. Live your best life by doing your best!

As you look closely into the picture attached, his eyes, some overwhelming visions of a man in pain come to. I didn't choose a picture of him smiling because I haven't found the guts to find peace with his passing. I am probably wasting time feeling sad, however, there is time for everything.
