Letter to self


"You're sexy AF"
The typical message many men will send you as a woman.

Is it even a genuine complement or it is something they say to get into your pants.
We're so obsessed with getting validated on social media.

You post a picture and guys go like " wow, you're so beautiful. Can I have your number." Imagine how many women men are sending that same message to.

We are so consumed with keeping up appearance on social media that we take everything that people tell us to heart.

We easily forget how fake people are. We are quick to assume just because they praise us on social media their opinions matter and we let them so much into our lives without even realizing it.

After going through stuff, sharing your life with virtual strangers, in the end the only people who really matter are the ones who are honest with you and connect with you everyday.

It's so easy to forget who are and what matters when social media is screaming " post your "goal pics." Smile for the camera, be picture perfect, filter the crap out of your pics so you're constantly airbrushed and "on fleek."

Humans are just humans. We are shallow and easily swayed by trends and faking perfection.

The real challenge is being yourself, staying true to who and what really matters and posting only enough for them to see.
Most of the times they really just want something to gossip about or save for their sperm bank.

At the end of the day the real you is what's off the computer and phone screen.
Work more on making the real you goals and not just the social media facade of you.

My forever puppy; Tino

I felt like I experienced all heart break until I mourned  out sharp cries while holding my fur baby in my arms hoping I could still revive him.  He had just made five years old the previous week. We were happy for this wonderful life of our call fur of joy! Anyone who knows me knows I loved my forever puppy Tino to death. I literally called him the love of my life. He was. He got me out of depression and helped me heal a lot of wounds I couldn’t open up about .  There are five  stage of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. 7 pm I got a call from home that Tino was no more. I was in denial and very angry. I screamed at everyone and everyone who was home at the time. I couldn’t articulate anything. I was shattered! I just couldn’t believe it. Something must be a mistake. I fell down and broke my glasses. I screamed until my head hurt and my ribs ached.  Luckily my pastor friend had passed by earlier for some consultation and my aunt was at...

You only live once

Life can feel like your leg has been tied tightly to an anchor; and you're drowning deep down to the bottom of the ocean :- never to breathe or be seen again! Life can also feel like you're riding a magical unicorn with glistening colorful wings ; on a rainbow. While eating cotton candy clouds and wearing a crown of humming birds:- singing ever so slightly how life is but a dream! Life is a beautiful disaster that brings you bloody red roses with thorns of steel! The beauty is magnificent; bringing in so much joy but the thorns will send you to an early grave! Life presents you a brightly burning candle full of hope; but that same beacon of light will die out even before the night is out! Leaving you in darkness until the sun finally comes out; and the rays caress your melancholic cheeks. Life is not something to pass through despite all this bittersweet love-hate relationship nevertheless! Life is here for you to live it as the most powerful and intelligent bei...

Chasing Perfection!

Do you ever sense a peculiar cloud hanging over you, despite the positive momentum in your life? It's as if, no matter how many milestones you achieve, the ideal destination remains elusive.   Consider this: today, you proudly receive a Guinness World Records award for your exceptional talent, only to find tomorrow that the year is ending, and that stubborn extra belly fat persists. It's a constant balancing act between accomplishments and the unmet expectations of where you envision yourself.   Could it be self-sabotage, a deficiency in gratitude, or the incessant urge to compare yourself to others? The weight of self-imposed expectations can make it feel like you're consistently falling short in the race of life, burdened by undue pressure.   In those moments, be kind to yourself. Despite scrutinizing imperfections and fixating on minor setbacks, acknowledge the many great achievements throughout the year. Life is an intricate blend of short and long journey...
