HOW TO HANDLE DEPRESSION

1. GET UP AND MAKE YOUR BED
         You shouldn't lay in bed all day doing nothing, it makes it easier for all those scary, sad thoughts to creep in and making your bed does help you feel better. It gives you some sort of fulfilment, helps you get ready to take on the day.

2. SET NEW GOALS
         Challenge yourself with new goals and work towards them, keep yourself busy.

3. LISTEN TO MUSIC
         There's nothing more soothing than music and I don't mean you should spend all your time listening to Lana Del Ray or......, stay away from sad songs. Listen to artistes like Dia, Chance D Rapper,......

4. EAT HEALTHY
        There are a few foods that help fight depression. Foods like milk, Turkey and carrots so I do advice that you include that in your diet.
Research has also shown that coffee, alcohol and.. (you'd love this part) junk foods most especially chocolates 😎😎 help fight depression. Just don't take too much okay?

5. DO THINGS YOU ENJOY DOING
        Read books, take walks, dance, hit the gym, play an instrument (or learn to play one), write.
Just do whatever you like.

6. REACH OUT TO SOMEONE
        Do not isolate yourself. Talk to friends, tell them how you feel. Open up. It'd help.

7. PRAY TO GOD
        There's no better person to talk to than God and he totally understands. Trust me.

8. KEEP A DAIRY
      Keep track of your progress, you'd be proud of yourself 🤗🤗

The Pain In My Chest

The last few days of this year have been the roughest for me. A week after losing my phone and all my documents in it, my family (dad and younger sisters) and I were involved in a very fatal accident but glory be to God, no life was lost. Yes, I do realize that it was a total miracle but that doesn't quiet the voices in my head. To say I feel lost would be putting it lightly cause as it stands, the only thing that pushes past the thick wall of numbness I feel is excruciating pain and it comes from my chest. I'm in the midst of family but I haven't felt more alone in my life. This year has hammered something into my head ----- NO ONE OWES YOU SHIT!!! Lol, it hurts really bad and I won't lie cause I've promised to keep it real 💯 It hurts cause everyone seems to be having so much fun, oblivious to the pain I'm feeling and honestly it's no one's fault. I don't know what 2019 holds but it's gotta be freaking epic considering how sad I am even

An Excerpt... Please share your thoughts 💖💖

I stood there, my glock 17 in my hands, aimed at his chest. I'd rehearsed lines for this moment but then, staring him in the eye I didn't think it was worth it. I should have gone for the slow death option, I tilted my head to the left a bit so I could study the look in his eyes. I was standing face to face with the love of my life but not for long. I'd watched them transition from slight annoyance ( he didn't like being disturbed as apparently that's what I had been doing for a while) to amusement to disbelief to fear and then... horror. I smiled. I licked my lips- I'm going to be the last thing he sees before he dies, I should make it worth his while. I should make it worth my while too. Oh Lord, he was so handsome. Couldn't recall how many nights I had stayed up watching that face, he looked so magnificent in his sleep. I loved how he smiled in his sleep like he was responding to a private joke. Couldn't recall how many kisses I had planted on th

Are Zodiacs Real?

Recently, I’ve been in a lot of discussions (interesting ones actually) concerning this particular topic.  I’m not going to take sides. No. But let’s think of it, shall we?? How come everyone born around a particular time, somehow have similar attributes. How come? Remember, you’d never believe what you don’t understand and this idea of telling a person’s behavior based on their time of birth has been there since anyone can remember. It is said to have originated from our ancestors ability to tell the time of the day by the position of the sun. To avoid boring you all out, here’s a  link  for those who want to read more about the history of Zodiacs, the difference between astrology and astronomy, numerology and all that? NB: You do realize that people can share the same traits and still have some differences, yeah? Why? Because we grow up under different circumstances, in different homes with different beliefs. For example: I’m a Virgo, my zodiac says I’m shy, I know I’m shy but it’s h
