In Her Thoughts: I Was Nominated For The Liebster Award!



I'm going to start by thanking nkocykay for nominating me for the Liebster Award, a lady with an arm of words and a fellow blogger. Girl you rock! Looking forward to discovering new blogs, so the rules go like this:

• Thank the Blogger who nominated you. Vote of thanks to nkocykay.

• Answer the 11 questions given to you. I'm looking forward to that, are you?

• Nominate 11 Bloggers. I have a blogging family, 11 out of many talented writers. In no particular order. If I skip your don't block, I got you in my heart. 

• Notify your nominees once you have uploaded your post

What is your favorite book and why?

My favourite book is the bible. I feel like it's that one book where most writers draw their inspiration from. So why drink only a bowl when I have access to the spring waters of life. "but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thirst; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life."

What songs do I currently have on repeat?

I love music, from gospel, house, jazz, rnb, sometimes hiphop. Basically I listen to anything that I vibe to... Now that's out of the way. Lately, I have been on some John Legend/Jhene Aiko vibe. I love his new album #BiggerLove, all songs on repeat especially U move, I move. Apart from that I go to some worship and praise, Oceans and Victory. The way I miss church can't be explained in words.

Which season [ Autumn, Spring, Summer or Winter ] best describes you?

I'm winter, let me explain! I celebratd the return of the light during a time of deepest physical darkness whether in writing or as a person. I embrace darkness and weave a positive light of it. Even the bible conquers that out of darkness cams out light.


In the event of an emergency home evacuation, what is the first item you grab?

My laptop and phone, basically all of me is scribbled in there. I always write everything down, whether it's an event, experience or aspirations. That's why I always tell people if you want to know me, read my writings.

.
Which historical figures would you like to meet and why?

I would love to meet Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, my birthday is coming up so please do your thing and get this to her. She is my huge aspiration, one of my favourites quotes is "The single story creates stereotypes, and the problem with stereotypes is not they are untrue, but that they are incomplete. They make one story become the only story"

What makes a good blog?

Originality, Relatability, Consistency and Authenticity.

Back to the past or forward to the future?

To the future. I believe shape us to be our better future self.

Your dream Vacation?

I love adventure, so a trip to see all the wonders of the world. From the desert, pyramids, good cuisines to the great wall. And others in between.

The greatest movie of all time?

I love The Great Gatsby, who can resist building self, self-made and romance, right?

Wealth or Health?

Good health is worth more than any wealth in the world. I'm happy and alive, that should tell you something.

Your proudest moment?

When I finally launched my blog, ever since it's been a blessing. I got to discover myself, encourage others and got my most paying gigs from this little blog and I'm expectant of more to come. Never underestimate the power of the setting your mind, consistency and being true to yourself. 

I'm not sure if my people haven't been tagged already, but I will anyway. Half Thoughts, Runyanga, Nikki_zw, Faith Panashe, Nikki O, Mahela Sunshine, NasheFlavian and You.

Looking forward to your posts guys.

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...

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...

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 ...
