IT IS EARNED!!

“If my dad or mom says something as stupid as what you just said, please insult him or her cause I’m about to insult you”, said my elder sister when she was narrating one of them stories from her “school days”.

Respect goes both ways y’all!! 

I’m not very sure but I think this is an African thing, everyone uses “age” as an excuse to insult people and honestly it just shows how ignorant Africans are.

Lol, like how they call us back to greet... y’all think we didn’t see you in the first place?? 😂

Look, respect is earned. Start by respecting yourself. There are certain things people say that are not necessary.




So, I had a little banter with someone in church and while scolding me, my dad said I shouldn’t refer to that person that disrespectfully cause she’s older than my elder sister and I bluntly told him that my sister wouldn’t say the kind of things she said to me to anyone, regardless of their age 🤷🏼‍♀️

Most of y’all pride in being called “uncle” and “Aunty” but do y’all act like Uncles and Aunties? And why... oh Jesus, why is it so important?
Is that what you were named?? Is it your real nammmmeee??? Lmao 😂 
Y’all should free me jare 

You say we are “backward” but how “forward” are y’all?? Lol, I refuse to be childish 😏😏
I can’t even say too much about this... 
I hope you all catch my drift though.

Give respect to whom respect is due.

SAIL!

I'm sitting on the floor in my bathroom, this is the first time I've been inspired to write in months and like you'd guess, I'm inspired by blinding pain. All my life, since I can fucking remember, I've wondered why some certain people treat me a certain type of way. For years, I couldn't get answers so I tried to fix something I didn't have a clue about. At 20, I'm here wondering if all the soul searching, quest for answers, zeal to breakthrough and all I had to go through were necessary. I'm surrounded by lies! Lies everywhere! I've beat myself up for so many years for what wasn't my fault and while I'm relieved I wasn't at fault, I'm utterly bewildered. After all these years, the people I've fought to protect have been lying to me. I don't know how to feel and I know this doesn't make any sense but I'm this close to losing it. This close.

A REAL RAPE STORY (AN EXPERIENCE)

So much has been said about sexual molestation,  assaults, rape etc and for some people, they're just mere stories. Unfortunately for others, its their reality. Before I delve into the topic of rape, I'd be letting you in on the REAL stories of people out there who somehow, have been victims of such circumstances. I was 15 when I lost my virginity I had hoped so had to protect. At the time, there was this friend of my cousin's who wouldn't let me be all in the name of he liked me. He was always stalking me, telling me he'd do anything for me and all. I kept turning him down, and I guess my rejection didn't go down well with him and he told me "you'll see". I called his bluff and went about my normal day to day life. Mind you, this was happening in my village because, at the time, my parents had taken me with them to the village following a relatives burial they wanted us to attend. So, some days after the burial, my parents trave...

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 .
