The title makes it seems as if living with friends is either yay or nay when it could also be meh but hey, meh doesn't pack a punch as much as yay or nay. For me,I learnt some lessons whilst living with friends four years ago and I will share below. Space It is fair to assume that for most people you live with friends you are close to, perhaps very close to. As such you may go out together, speak a lot and the like. Now, living together you may think that will continue. It may and it may not....
Something that nobody ever fully prepares you for is how friendships change as one grows older. Sometimes it feels like it was a lot easier for me to navigate friendships when I was in secondary school or university. I guess because there is that common ground and more often than not you see your friends fairly regularly, if not every day. But what happens once everyone graduates, or you leave a work place? That is where the real challenge lies. Truth is, we're all busy and life gets hectic at...
On December 1st 2019 I turned 25 (woo)! I had a great time and did quite a few activities. As is always the tradition on my website, I do birthday blogs (21,23,24,) because, why not? 25 is no exception :D Birthday celebrations began on Friday 29th November and I went to Afrobeats Karaoke with a few friends. I had a lovely time though I did find it nerve-racking to be singing/karaoking in front of strangers lol. Next time I'll just get a private booth and sing to my hearts content like I did for...
How has your year been? Great, abysmal or a 'let's not talk about it' kind of year. Either which way you're alive! At least you must be to be reading this so that counts for something right? As usual I am back again with my annual end of your blog post. I've been a bit quiet on this blog and that is because I have been discovering myself offline which will reflect in due time online. So, what were some of the lesson I learnt this year? Hmm. Quite a few but I will try to keep it short and sweet....
Early on in October my youngest sister turned 13 and it took me back to when I was 13. It's hard to believe that she is now beginning her teenager years. Time flies. I decided to write some advice that I wish I knew when it was my time but those are some of the cons of being the oldest. You go through the challenges, so the others don't have to. Sometimes. In any case here is some advice to my sister and anyone else who is on the cusp of their teenage years. 1. Know yourself Ok ok, you will not...
So, we're in the last few hours of 2017 and my what a year it has been! I'd say that for me it has been a stabilising year; no fireworks but no downfalls either. I'm not complaining however because it was much needed after last year which was not the best for me. Below are some of the things I learnt. Honesty is always the best policy Really. It is. It does not matter how hard it may be to say it, if it is true and needed then it must be said. Delivery is of course important and one should...
So recently I was sitting in my room reminiscing about life as you do and I came across a beautiful quote (on the left). The part that jumped out to me was the friendship part. I just felt a strong conviction and God really asking me ‘What kind of friend are you?’. Woah. That caught me wayyy of guard. Like. I would like to think I’m a good friend but then wouldn’t we all? Maybe it’s time we removed the veneers and really take a look at how we’re really like. Try as I might to shake...
I stumbled across this picture and I felt that it was a succinct way of describing my year in a visual format anyway. For me,I’d say that 2015 has been a year of stability so whilst fireworks may not have happened, the fuel to set them off in the coming years were😉 . Yesterday marks a year that I’ve had this blog which is a big thing for me especially considering that I’ve had a blog before that is currently lost in cyberspace somewhere. Having a blog and maintaining it is a big thing...
Hello you. Yes, you that is reading this post!😉 I’d like to ask what are your expectations in relationships-friendships to be precise? Take a moment to think about it then read on😛 My introduction was a little different this time but it’s for a good cause. Recently I’ve been thinking, “What do I expect from someone in a friendship?”. Another question is, “What do they expect from me in this friendship?” You see we all have different needs and requirements. Problems can arise...
Hey all. I’ve been all over the place this week emotionally; some good and some bad. Something I’m learning is to not always give into them. It’s not always easy considering that I’m quite a sentimental person at times. I learnt a very important lesson this week in the guise of friendships. Sometimes you have to Let them go. Harsh right? Let me explain further.
