Gratitude

  GRATITUDE   Happy New Year to all of you, and I hope you've crossed over to 2025 healthy and strong.  Before we get into our intentions for the year 2025, let's rewind and look at the previous year, looking at all the events that occurred, good or bad. We may not be able to realize this there and then, but there will always be something to be grateful for, even in the worst of times. The only way we can be able to identify the moments that are actually positive, we have to be able to have an attitude of gratitude. There is always light at the end of the tunnel. It's hard to look at the bright side of things, especially when we have gone through a lot of disheartening and disappointing moments in our lives over the previous year, but the fact that we were able to get into this current year is already a blessing by itself. Some people could not get the opportunity to be in this year, and we have to realise that we have been blessed.  The ability to open this blog pos...

Garbage In, Garbage Out!

          GARBAGE IN, GARBAG OUT!   Have you ever heard people say that children's behaviours reflect how things are at home and show the type of people they live with? This is because we have the automatic system of survival installed in us that automatically teaches us to copy whatever we see in our environments. After all, that’s what we will know at that point in life. Unfortunately, this doesn’t mean that once we age, this system will stop because this is the natural instinctive thing to do as humans as a form of survival.   As we grow older we become more conscious and will make decisions based on what we know, what our beliefs are what we grew up knowing. Unfortunately, even if you know that what you are doing is wrong, as long as you keep consuming yourself with environments which have such behaviours of people who have such characteristics, you will always find yourself back at doing what we all know is wrong. This is why what we consu...

The End of an Era

  THE END OF AN ERA As the seasons change, wherever we are, we go through life changes, and we transition from one stage to another. This may be scary or difficult because reality hits us into realizing that things won’t stay the same for a long time. The best we can do is to embrace these changes. Unfortunately, we won’t be able to do it automatically because we would be so used to a certain system in our lives to the extent that once we have to go through changes, it becomes challenging and rather draining. I too am going through a huge change where I have to close a phase in life that I have known for 18 years of my life. Now that I’m ending the whole high school experience, I feel so relieved and excited that I will be able to be an adult and be able to do ‘my own stuff’. But at the same time, the reality is hitting me left right, and centre because in growing up comes many responsibilities and work that one has to do to make sure that they and everyone that’s around you ...

The love in the struggle

  The love in the struggle     S elf-determination and the love of the struggle As most of you know, I’m a teen and in literally in the journey of, umm allow me to say ‘self discovery’. In my very short life, I have noticed a couple of this that genuinely determine what we end up becoming later on in life. I remember myself telling people and myself that I want to be so many things, like a pilot or a dancer or even a singer. Unfortunately I have finally realized that it’s not about what we want to be at the ‘when we grow up’, it’s about the love in the struggle of what we are doing at that current moment. As I was progressing from form 2 to form3 and 4, I have realized that what we saw or assume we want to do isn’t exactly what we love doing. 99% of the time, young people such as myself just get into the trend of lying to other people and ourselves about what we enjoy doing so that we can be accepted in a family or in society. We end up forcing ourselves t...

SELF-LOVE VS SELF-HATE

  SELF-LOVE VS SELF-HATE Lately people who are into self-help have been going on and on abbot self-love and self-acceptance. The idea of always having to love and accept yourself has been so publicized and accepted into the community to the extent that "self-hatred" has been demonized and people shun the whole idea of hating a particular trait about yourself. In this blog, will be discussing about the difference between self-hate and self-love, and how these concepts should be applied.     SELF-LOVE   Let's start with the idea that has been accepted in this generation and has been glorified by everyone. From my point of view, self-love is something that is helpful, but then it has its limits. First of all, we cannot be able to practically love everything about ourselves. I too have been in a situation whereby I felt as if loving the trait about myself would change the way I think, but then it comes to its limits I believe that if it’s a trait that you c...

Butterfly project

🦋 Butterfly Project🦋   A butterfly is one of the most beautiful creatures that we see around us. The luscious colors on their wings automatically stimulate you to want to continue and watch it while it flies along the way. We never really consider what happened to it for it to reach that stage. We just insinuate that butterflies just become butterflies just like that, but no, that's not the case. There is more. For a butterfly to become a butterfly, it had to go through a lot of hard stages in different areas.  Stage 1. The egg🥚 St ghost stage an adult butterfly lays her eggs in a safe place and usually, this safe place is in the grass on the ground.  This is a clear indication that nothing begins as something great. At the beginning of your journey, you have to be something small. You have to be vulnerable enough to let yourself grow up and mature. Once we just start acting as if we are great and we don't humble ourselves. No one will be willing to nurture and guide u...

SOULMATES: What are they and are they even real?

SOULMATES  SOULMATE: -  A person with whom one has a feeling of deep or natural affinity. This may involve SIMILARITY, LOVE, ROMANCE, PLATONIC RELATIONSHIPS, COMFORT, INTIMACY, SEXUALITY, SEXUAL ACTIVITY, SPIRITUALITY, COMPATIBILITY and TRUST.   - A person who is perfectly suited to another in temperament - Someone that gets you the most and is a connection of minds, mutual respect, unconditional love and total understanding.   As we can see, basically a soulmate is someone who is ‘meant’ for you and a person that you were ‘meant to be with, your ‘specific special person. I am pretty sure that the majority of us know the theory behind the whole soulmates story, and if you don’t let me break it down for you.   The soulmate theory states that, when two souls link, they will automatically get along and intertwine and become one soul that will be syncing in harmony. They will automatically connect and to will feel just right and you would have spotted the person tha...
