ENCOURAGING WORDS

-
I was reading somewhere in a book today that "A perfect man is one who does not offend in word" and I believe i tweeted it too. I later read the article on TI saving a suicidal man's life by speaking words to him. In an interview with the AP he said
"I told him it ain't that bad. It'll get better, to put the time and effort into making it better,I just reminded him know that I know. It looks bad right now, but it can turn around." The man after listening to TI's words didn't jump of the 22 story building. He was taken to the hospital.
Sometimes life can get the very best of us or people that we know and it doesn't hurt for once to say something nice to them be it their outfit, or something they did to make your day worthwhile. Some people don't think this life is worth living anymore, but if you do think your life is worth living,show someone you care, no criticisms, no bad talk or nothing, just encouraging words. Happy Friday.

  Thirty three year old Lauren, a marketing executive in one of the top firms in Durban, South Africa, had an amazing life. She was hardworking, very intelligent and successful in her career. She was loved by many, especially her family and close friends. She loved going to brunches on the weekends with friends, the merry girls, she had been friends with them since elementary school.

THE JEALOUS EX

  Giselle sat on the edge of her bed, scrolling through her social media feed on a hot and humid Thursday afternoon in Lagos. She was accustomed to mindless scrolling and getting news updates from influencers, her family and her friends. She was about to continue scrolling when a picture caught her attention and made her stop. She was shocked. Timi, her ex boyfriend, was smiling happily, his hand wrapped around a beautiful young woman. She looked high maintenance, her skin was glowing, her hair was popping, her outfit was expensive. They were at a dimly lit restaurant. It did not look familiar, the caption of the Instagram photo. Giselle’s heart skipped as she stared at the photo. She and Timi were once a happy couple. They shared everything together, and the memories came flooding back. It was eight months since the break up. They were both ‘No Contact.’ There were times when she felt like picking up the phone and calling, but then she changed her mind. His ego would be stroked, s...

COS EVEN YOUR BOO GET A BOO

I don’t know if it is me, or the nature of man has truly changed. This blog post was a little hard for me to write because it also personal too. I remember when I was growing up, love seemed to be something often dreamed about, it seemed perfect when two people felt the same way about each other, when they shared their dreams and goals with the ultimate purpose of spending the rest of their lives together Nowadays, the idea of falling in love is like reading “Alice in Wonderland” where Alice kept chasing a rabbit that kept running away and only for her to find out that her whole adventure was just a dream. Is it hard to find a good man nowadays or are the ladies of this generation no longer wife material because it goes both ways. A chic could be looking for a man who would give her  a decent relationship, a great time, movies, vacation, dinner, family , sex, etc with a commitment or something like it but not be  wife material. Meanwhile there could be another ...
