Africans And Body Art

So I’ve been dying to ask, what’s with Africans and body art??
Last year, I got this piercing and my parents kept asking why and what value it added to my life, lol. They didn’t tell me to take it off though until I went to church with it and it became the “gossip” for the week.




Somehow, people who thought my parents were blind had to draw their attention to it and my dad made me take it off. I was 17 then (just before my 18th birthday 🙄🙄).


Last month, I pierced again thinking I’m old enough now (apparently I’m not), I went to church and the same people did the same thing again. I’m not going to even start delving into the “judgemental and hypocritical” part but what really is their issue with piercings??



I love piercings and I can’t get them because of society?
These people who are so quick to judge you by your piercings and body art, the length of your skirts, the kind of tops you wear do not pay attention to how your doing emotionally, psychologically and otherwise.

Another quick question.. why do parents listen to everyone except their children??? 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️
Please if you have answers tell me while I go and look for where to pierce again.

NB: Pictures are 15 months apart

Have a lovely weekend beautiful Homo Sapiens ❤️❤️❤️❤️

LETS TALK ABOUT SEX

In Nigeria and even all around Africa, the topic, SEX  is more or less ignored and this has a terrible effect on the young ones as they grow up because talking about sex with your kids, helps them understand more about sex and from a reliable source.  You’d agree with me that there’s a lot of lies about sex and leaving the younger ones to learn the hard way is not the best way. So, my next posts would treat the topic of sex and everything associated with it from the youngster’s point of view. We’d be talking about sexual assaults, rape, molestation and everything sex. First of all, is there really a right time to start talking to your kids about sex? If yes, when is the right time? Subscribe, like, drop a comment, share and stay tuned and by the way something juicy is coming your way. Have a lovely week ahead people.

TOP SIX RED FLAGS YOU SHOULD WATCH OUT FOR WHEN IN A RELATIONSHIP

NOTE: Okay, I'm a teenager and in as much as I'd love to upload content that'd be suitable for everyone, I'm still a teenager. Not like I'm not going to try but, you know?        I just got out of a really toxic relationship and I know many people (girls mostly) my age tend to make the same mistakes I made. The good thing is, I learnt a lot and I hope this post helps you learn from my mistakes so as not to make the exact same ones I made.        Before I start saying too much, I'd like to make it clear... THERE ARE ALWAYS RED FLAGS!!!! This point cannot be overemphasized, it really cannot. You might feel like you love the person, you don't want to be alone, you don't want to start all over with someone new, you don't know what you'd tell people when you guys get separated but your physical, psychological and most especially your mental health and wellness is more important than all of that. So if you feel like things a...

THOUGHT SOMEONE MIGHT NEED THIS 💚💚

You will never have anything figured out and it might sound harsh but thats how bitter truth is. Don't beat yourself up when things don't go as planned cause that's when things get interesting--- being able to survive it all but really what do we have to lose? We'd all die anyway. You'd not know until you stare death in the face that now is all you have. Maybe when you understand that life is a journey and not a race... but answer honestly, what do you really want? Thinking out loud... I really don't know who needs to hear this but, Live, love, laugh .
