IN HER THOUGHTS

Hello lovelies! For the first time ever since I have started blogging, I have been actually putting my thoughts on paper and churning out 3 posts per week. It’s not much but trust me it’s been a long time coming. I have been loving the consistency thus far and now I have a bigger challenge to maintain that. For the next 30 days, I’m going to be writing and posting content for you every day. Yep, you heard it right. Every single day, so help me God! The Winter Challenge #WinterABC has been popping on my timeline for the longest time. It’s organized by Afrobloggers to encourage writers to do what they know best, write and spread some positivity. Having been making progress on my blog, thanks to the #WritingCommunity and Afrobloggers for RTs and likes. I’m committed to making it bigger and better, of course, make it worth your read. Okay, l digress, my blog goals are another blog post. I pledge here and now, to write-it-through this challenge. Your comments and motivation would be a...

Being an African says something about being black and proud, that black excellence vibe! Pride comes with success and the ability to let your little light shine. It hits me differently to realize that most of the flags in Africa are Colorful. I for one feel like there is a reason why there are many colours on the flags which is it symbolizes the endless opportunities in Africa for people to become great in different ways but still coming back together as one and represent Africa. We do not need to limit ourselves when it comes to entrepreneurship, think ahead of time and generate visions that will lift up your name even when you are long gone. The good thing about entrepreneurship is that there is no restriction in the size of your startup. What is needed as the foundation is the solid vision then u start on a small capital keeping the eye on the goal? Jeff Bezos once said during his high school days, “the earth is finite and if the world economy and population are to continue expandi...

Her dark melanin skin like dawn; Full of potential and hope; Only if she dares to dream; The end of a beginning; Taste of dust; Your power lies in the wild; Endowed; fruits gradually acquired; A green lustre; Lift your head high; Shine!

Living alone has it’s ups and downs, at first living alone, is exhilarating. It means doing whatever you want and whenever you want. I stayed up binge-watching series, worked on my blogs with no interruptions. It was a fun and freeing experience until the freedom to go outside and go wherever I wanted to be was taken away. Coronavirus meant for the foreseeable future, I will be spending a lot more time at home or rather on the lookout and be more cautious. After a few weeks, though, I noticed my mood change.   I missed having people around. Call me extra, needy or whatever! There is nothing more depressing than waking up to the same scenery, probably do the same routine, stare at the wall and realize you are only 2 hours into the new day. Living alone can be lonely! I was reading this article by Gary Kennedy on The Doctor’s Table blog, where he said the simple reality from birth to old age is that we need one another to regulate not only our emotions but bodies as well. St...

I have heard this more than some of  your favourites' music. My bad, but focus that’s beside the point.   It's true you can never be everyone’s cup of coffee, neither do some jokes. “My partner doesn’t know how to play.” Have you ever asked yourself that maybe you don’t have the same sense of humour? Interesting now? Let me explain. Teasing in itself is not always negative, come one it's a potent form of flirtation and seduction until you mess it up. It lies between intent and impact!  Almost everyone has a sense of humour, you just have to flip the right comedy. We all say he/she must be able to make me laugh. It’s necessary, with life choking us out, a good laugh is a need. In the previous article, we talked about the importance of knowing your partner’s mental health, well , sense of humour comes with the package. You know the limits of your jokes, basically establish a shared sense of humour without hurting your partner’s feelings. How to still be a joker wi...

Hello loves it's Mental Health Awareness Week! We are going to be exploring relationships and mental health. In our minds, we always have this ideal partner in our head. As I’m blossoming into the person I want to be, I’ve come to appreciate how important it is or I rather should I say necessary to know and truly understand your potential partner’s mental health. If you’re informed you know what you are getting into. One of the reasons why we have premature and feel disconnected is because we rush into things and hide understatements like, “She/He became a totally different person, needy or they’re always moody” or anything in between. Maybe you just didn’t give yourself time to know their mental health situation for you to understand. I came across a tweet saying, “It’s important to know your partner’s home situation.” It hit home and it got me thinking, how many people really invest in getting informed about their partner’s mental health. Fast forward >>> A...

I like you enough as a friend but not enough to commit; My words are enough, my actions are skewed; Only if I get you to stay here, I can feed you with words enough to make you stay; Consistency doesn't mean I have to be there for you but I drop by enough to keep you hooked; Ask me any questions but don't question my commitment; What matters is I'm here right. I give you the power to create so I don't have to explain myself if I can't stay; Assumptions clear than words uttered; 'You know I like you' and 'I like you' remain blurred; Paint your own reality.
