NOBODY BE LIKE WOMAN( INSIGHTS FROM A BRIEF BUT REVEALING SONG).
Few weeks ago, the internet was inundated with posts of various captions, by various women and the hash tag was #nobodybelikewoman. While I didn’t partake in the challenge, I like many other persons could not help but read those captions. For me, those captions were little insights into what most of those women were going…

IF NOBODY STANDS UP FOR YOU, DO IT FOR YOU ( PART ONE).
Let me start by apologising profusely for abandoning what I love to do for such a long time. Every one who has ever come in contact with me understands that I love to tell stories, 𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒔’ , I know some people would refer to the latter 𝙜𝙤𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙜 or 𝙖𝙢𝙚𝙗𝙤 as it is called…

THE POWER OF SELF AFFIRMATION.
Not too long ago on this blog, I made a post about a collection of people’s thoughts about me(If you haven’t seen it yet, you should try doing so after reading this post, thank you). It’s nice when people say great things to you about you, the feeling is overwhelming but short-lived, take it from…

ASKING FOR WHAT YOU NEED(My Personal Experience).
So, a couple of times in the past weeks, I’d been uploading posts on my WhatsApp status about asking for help when you need it, and how nobody gets a trophy for doing all the hard stuff alone e.t.c. The funny thing about life is that sometimes, the preacher doesn’t know that the message he…
