Be authentic; tell the truth when you see it.

It takes less efforts being real than being fake. Try it. Authenticity makes you unique, makes you stand out and makes you happy because you'll be putting smiles on people's faces; including strangers . What does it mean to be authentic? Why should you be authentic? What's your gain from authenticity?  As always, I'll give examples from my personal experiences but first, being authentic means seeing the truth and telling it, it means, telling someone you may not like that they look great in their new hairdo because you can't resist it.    According to The Oxford dictionary, authenticity means; of undisputed origin and not a copy; genuine. In other words, it means original, raw, undiluted, etcetera,. For example, my blog is authentic. I write my personal thoughts-no copy, except excerpts and I quote them or put up photos. I had a big disagreement with a girl in my class and it lasted for quite awhile. I saw her during our department's di...

Children's Day 2022: Reminiscing on ‘when we were young'

   Parents listen to your children      (children)    We are the leaders of tomorrow (tomorrow)    Try to pay our school fees  And give us the best education (education) H appy Children's day to all of us including our mummies and daddies. We're all children of someone. I don't know how long the generation goes but it's really long and down to every grandparent, greatgrandparent and greatgreatgreatgreat (keep going), everybody has a father and mother. It's the law of nature- people do not fall from the skies, there's a certain ritual that is performed to form babies in the womb but who knows about that? Maybe I'll find out when it's time for me to be a parent 🤔   Being a child is a very special and essential part of being human or being a human being . It is at this time we make honest mistakes we don't regret because we'll probably forget most of them. At this stage we have the realest love, find playmates who may lat...

You learnt a few wrong things, it's time to relearn them.

Food for thought: learning never stops. Learning, unlearning and relearning. ITK,oversabi, know-it-all. Calm down, life has not finished 🙄    If you'd agree, there were a lot of things you learnt earlier in your life which you later found to not be entirely correct and then you had to unlearn them and relearn the correct ways about them. Teachings, beliefs, characters, etcetera,. Earlier this week, something really random happened and it made me realise that there's been a lot of changes with regards my growth. I noticed that some of the things I learned sometime in my life turned out to be false. A very silly example is how it took me awhile to learn the spelling of ‘osophagus' in primary school just to later learn in secondary school that the spelling is actually ‘esophagus'. Phew! I was disappointed. Or is it how everyday we discover different versions of “it's not ‘bumbum Cecilia bumbum' but ‘bounce on Cecilia’ ” in the Mr Macaroni rhyme or “coo...

Today's episode of ‘ I never expected this’.

So I'd begin by telling you to fall in love with sensible people but like everyone knows, they don't write ‘I have sense’ on the forehead. I really wish there was a way to know that somebody has sense and would continue to have sense till the end of time, maybe a small note popping out briefly from their eyes like in cartoons. Phew! On this journey of love, my dears, there's no light way to say this but SHINE YOUR EYES!   So I promised a story yesterday on WhatsApp and a story I would give. This story goes so many ways but I'll do my best to shed light on the most important areas so you can also learn.    I remember saying I've been lucky in love in one of my posts and trust me, that is not a lie. I've been in love with people and had my feelings reciprocated. People have loved me crazy and expressed their feelings and I've had the glory of refusing to acknowledge. This story concerns the former.  So, myself and this guy were head-over-heels in ...
