Be A Good Student 👍

Image
I used to say that school is not the only place to learn but the streets too. Unfortunately the society I grew up in saw the streets as the worst teachers so, we were advised to stay away from the streets. I've always been curious, wanting to learn something new at all times and sometimes if would be annoying to hear peers call me miss know it all, I would hold dear every experience I come across and take it as a scenario that I caught my attention and guess what? That caused me to always have something to say. I would walk down every isle in store reading products name and asking more questions about them, little did I know that university was a beautiful word but won't be much used in my 20's vocabulary. I read books, volunteered in fields I was interested in and as I result, i never looked like I didn't further my education after matric because I was still learning. I made it a point that I equip myself in the area where I would have graduated from had I ...

Loving You

Image
As I was listening to the Lionel Rich song "Hello", I was caught by the line " ARE YOU SOMEWHERE FEELING LONELY, OR IS SOMEONE LOVING YOU?" I gave it a thought just after I sang along and my response was "I'm somewhere loving myself." I've been in a space where loving myself was the most difficult thing to do because of some past experiences I've had in life. Though I knew that I am the only person  I'll have on my side for the longest time, I still couldn't live with me everyday. I was so ashamed of myself and not so proud of me. I was just so sad, complained about everything around me and within me, I blamed me for everything I was passing through I was just so bad that I accepted negativity to make me its painting board, and no matter how much someone would wanna show me love, it wouldn't be enough but they would get hurt for trying. When I got my break, I couldn't believe it myself. It was through someone am...

Own Your Beauty

One beautiful plus size lady came to the saloon the other day and the first things she said after showing me which hair style she wants was, "look how round and pimpled my face is." I looked at he pretty face and remembered  that there was a time in my life where I saw everything wrong on my face, in my body and in my life. That was a bad space  to be in, to this day I'm still sorry that I allowed me to go through that longer than I should have before I could come out. Another lady came in and greated us, on asking how are you i said "I'm blessed and yourself?" She said, " I'm good." I smiled and said you should say you're gorgeous next time someone asks  how are you. You should have seen her reaction🥱. That got me thinking, what's wrong with looking into the mirror as a woman and seeing the most amazing person. See the most gorgeous girl in your lane or neighborhood. See the most charming and confident lady who deserves to be call...

IT'S OK NOT TO BE OK.

This morning I entered a room and I found 6 ladies in it, one of them was having a bad morning, she was crying.  What I noticed was that as sad as she was, no one was actually near her although they all seemed to be feeling sad for her but no one was being affectionate with her. They all sympathized with her from afar. I took a step closer to her after I asked one of them what was happened to her, and she was clueless at the time, as I was getting to her, what was in mind was the thought that in most cases when I am in a bad space I rarely get hugs or any sign of physical affection so, I know how bad that is. I went and hugged her told her that she is not alone in whatever it is she is going through. It felt awkward for a moment but it was a unique gesture I felt like doing. It was something I don't usually do but felt the need to do it at that time. What caught my attention was a question two ladies asked her as i entered the room and the question was "who died?...

1st Note

From the moment I heard of the word blogging, I knew I wanted to be called a blogger someday. Although I took the longest ride to get here, I'm glad I finally found my way.  I've been accompanied by procrastination and yep, I admit; I entertained him longer that I should have but I finally lost interest in him and found my freedom to write🫠. What can I say? Life happens and as I've heard someone say, procrastination is not laziness.  I was lured by that and I wanted to shared that line with the world since I was convinced that I might have tagged laziness along the way. I know the feeling of trying so hard to put the thought into action and yet not succeed. It's a tough one because your mind will whisper how lazy you are when you know in your heart that you are the most active person that you know apart from your role model ofcoure😜.  So, as I'm here, I'm with smiles and gladness since I'm about to embark on a journey of  a thousand miles with ...
