Life Is An Experience.

Life Is An Experience.

“Does anyone have a non-religious explanation for the purpose of life? Someone on TikTok said that there is no deep meaning, we are just meant to experience it.” – @TheGreatLerato (on Twitter). I read this tweet this morning and I honestly could not get it out of my mind; I can relate to it so much and it was such a revelation to me: life is just an experience. From the time we are placed into…

Bamboo Growth.

Today I want to touch on the growth that we may feel we are lacking in our lives and a shift in perspective into what growth really looks like – specifically ‘bamboo growth’ – which is necessary to understand. A lot of us may be feeling like there is not a lot of growth in our lives right now. We may be procrastinating, we may have stagnant energy, or we may be questioning if we are even growing…

Moving Out Of Your Parent’s Home.

In your Twenties. Our roaring twenties are complex years, probably the only time of our lives where we feel both so old yet so young. This is caused by us trying so tirelessly to maneuver in this thing called adulting while simultaneously trying to make if not find our place under the sun. This process – the process of becoming your own person, finding who you are and where you want to be – can…

Coming Home To You.

Coming Home To You.

I am mine before I am ever anyone else’s. This phrase was quoted by Nayyirah Waheed, a published author, creator, and poet whom I have seen featured in many publications.In my opinion, I would take this to mean ‘look after yourself.’ It is extremely hard to be there for others when you too are not doing very well. If we do not take care of ourselves, how can we take care of others? As of late,…

In just three days from now, we will be ushering in a new year. And it’s almost tradition that during this time of the year, there’s a lot of festivities and celebrations occurring. We celebrate employment, we celebrate reaching our body goals, we celebrate the progress we have made in our lives, generally, amongst many other things. Yet, from the beginning, 2020 showed us, as a people, that it…

Misconceptions About Relationships.

I am a firm believer of reflecting on all relationships one has – from friendships, to relationships with colleagues and more so your intimate relationship with your special somebody. Being in a blossoming relationship with my partner has made me realise all the myths society shares about them so in this article, I will be discussing six misconceptions about relationships that have been known to…

A Navigation for Millennials Fabricated by Afrolution.

A Navigation for Millennials Fabricated by Afrolution.

We all have different ways of making sense of the world around us and our lives and those who know me and are familiar with my work know that I am an avid believer in making or finding your place in the world. When I was granted the opportunity to write an article on Afrolution’s self-titled E.P and as I started unpacking each song on it, it was not hard to gather that in his E.P Afrolution…

Press Pause.

In today’s always-on culture, it often feels like we spend every waking moment in motion – attending meetings, working, juggling family and friends, hitting deadlines – all the while convincing ourselves that we are doing just fine. (Who are we kidding?) I personally can say that I am an avid chaser of my dreams, always moving on to the next thing, always thinking of my next move which is why I F…

Toxic Traits in Friendships.

Toxic Traits in Friendships.

Most of the time, friendships are a source of happiness – they are the relationships we do not need to stress about or obsess over. I have always been one to consider friends as my family especially because I don’t have a lot of friends and my family is not really close knit. The right friends can provide a shoulder to cry on when things get tough and laugh with us when life looks good. However,…

The Art of Faking It Until You Make It.

The Art of Faking It Until You Make It.

The expression ‘fake it till you make it’ belongs in the hallowed halls of clichés at this point. It has been thrown around – with the intent to encourage a person – before we (millennial’s) were even thought of. But there is a fine line between that sentiment and a flat-out lie and this blog post will touch-base with the lie and then focus on why I believe ‘faking it till you make it’ does have…

Basking in the glory of serenity.

Basking in the glory of serenity.

Serenity is the state of being calm, peaceful, and untroubled as defined by the Oxford Dictionary. ‘Unbothered’ is the closest status that our generation bestows as serenity. It is both appropriate yet a bit contradictory for this article as it may carry a negative connotation but when I thought of this week and narrated it to someone – my thoughts, my feelings, the space I was in – I described…

Restorative Rituals.

Take a good long bath. Melt away your worries with a long soak in a hot bubble bath with some salts. Besides this being so pleasurable, it literally cures frustrations and detoxifies your skin. Taking a long hot shower is equivalent to this and can really clear your mind and relax your muscles.

Do a face mask. Nothing says cleanse and detox like a good face mask. We all feel…

The Sacred Power of The Quester.

The Free Dictionary defines the word ‘Quester’ as ‘someone who is in search or query for something, in other words, a Quester is someone who is on a quest for something: “they are seekers of truth” [https://www.thefreedictionary.com/quester].

The Quester I am referring to today is the one that compiled the book of Ecclesiastes from the Bible. Ecclesiastes consists of eleven chapters and each…

Solidifying My Gratitude Through The Gratitude Application.

Solidifying My Gratitude Through The Gratitude Application.

Plant yourself so deeply in gratitude that even the greatest landslides cannot shake your peace – Unknown.

I read this quote a few weeks ago and didn’t think much of it, reading it this morning it made so much sense to me and I guess correlated with the application I recently downloaded called ‘Gratitude : Personal Growth & Affirmations.’

Let’s be honest it is hard being consistent with…

Hidden Truths About Your Twenties.

“Your Twenties. These are the most important years of your life, for many reasons. Being in your twenties consists of so much transitioning, evolvement and growth. These are the years where loss, rejection and happiness occur. But most importantly, these are the years where we are all seeking to find our place under the sun, where we seek to take up space in society whilst also simultaneously becomin…

Messages From Alison Rachel.

Sundays were made for reflection, healing and self-love. Today I want to share with you some extracts from this little book I have called ‘Recipes for Self-Love: How to Feel Good in A Patriarchal World’ by Alison Rachel.

This little book has served as a reminder that there is no one way to live or be, and that we write our own stories and reality based on who we are not what society tells us…
