OMG! I'm Now 24


Of course I had to make it all about my birthday. If you forgot it was yesterday. Anyway, thank you next... It wouldn't have been special without everyone who went out of their way. Amongst other presents, here are some wise words, a whole personal birthday letter for me. Imagine!                             
                                               - My Inner Voice
                                                            

They say the best stories are told from the start and they come with an interesting middle part and a somewhat glorious end

Well the start is long past now and the only memory that remains of it is it's date

You've come a long way since then, I know people often say this but for you it's truer than most

While the start is distant the middle part is quite near and the end, well the end is still far from sight

It's also said the middle contains all the glorious stories

The tales of epic romance

The tales of late night mischief

The memories lost to alcohol altered states and other things

The pictures taken but we'd rather forget

The tales we'll tell our grandchildren to remind them there's nothing new under the sun


So today comes as the end of one chapter and the beginning of another

How many chapters your book is going to have no one knows

But I'm glad to have been a part of this one

Let me just take this moment to wish you a happy birthday beautiful

May the smiles be plenty and the tears rare

May all the dreams you have ring true in the coming year

PS: Belated birthday wishes are welcome!

Dating Someone Who Knows Your Mental Health Is Everything Part 2

📸prettisusu It’s been a minute, last time we discussed about how it’s important to know where your partner stands in terms of them being aware of their mental stability. I reckon it’s a must, it saves a lot of surprises and frustrations because you know who you dealing with. If you haven’t read the article click here , so we are on the same page. I have in a fair share of relationships and it has been a hard journey of knowing how to show up for my partner/friends/family in ways they need me to vs ways I’m comfortable with. It was so easy for me to commit to a routine that was came easy to me like responding fast or make them laugh but I realized sometimes a person just wants you to listen or give them full attention, to feel your presence with no distractions. Hence, this article, please show up for people in your life in ways they need. So what am I saying? Let me explain. Just show up and pay attention to what your partner actually needs. Don’t assume, don’t generalize we are all u...

We Are Only But Pawns In A Game Of Chase

📷 Apaha Spi Broken dreams, broken souls We are all a mess, a fallen generation We bleed, but nobody cares Somehow it is our fault We cry, nobody listens All they care about is more coin in their pockets We’re only but pawns In a game, we cannot fathom Our pain in their eyes is unnecessary drama, Our sorrow gives them an adrenaline rush, Our struggle is their entertainment They thrive from our sweat, blood and tears As it pours, so does coin drop in their pockets Every dime we earn they find ways to chuff it To them it is change, to us, it is means of survival Greedy grim reapers are what they are Always scheming of ways to suck the last coin out of us The pain inflicted by the people we traded for our hope and future It worsens by the day, but we continue to sing songs of hope It is not by choice, it is a survival instinct The thought of better days is what is keeping us sane, Nowhere to turn, refuge is the new slave To stay and ...

Body Acceptance Chronicles: I Learnt To Love The Changes In My Body

📸 Marie-Michele Bouchard   Our little conversations always carry the weight I wish the eyes would acknowledge. We keep muttering and playing with our words: you are enough but, we can not seem to convince the mind. We grew up a chubby baby for most of our life, sly comments here and there, but that is what was familiar and defined us. As we blossomed, our love grew. The height balanced out weight, whilst the weight balanced out the boobs. We were picture perfect. A sudden extreme change in our relationship came with an untimely illness that complicated our relationship. I will not deny it. I had and still have difficulties paying attention. It was a stranger, and Mama taught me never to talk to strangers. It was new territory. I felt lost. People always whispered I should lose weight but what "should" have been a dream turned my life into a nightmare. Even after preparing, many people would still be surprised when the changes crop up. It was my reality. The changes in our bo...
