Remember Who YOU Are.

I truly don't get why people can get so depressed enough to commit suicide. Don't get me wrong, I understand that people can get so overwhelmed that the thought of not going on could come to ones mind (being there, done that), but to actually plan it all out and go through with it... No No No No *smh*

Thank God for wisdom though... and maturity... and real self-esteem. Talk as much crap about me, have your opinion about me, but it won't phase me because this is MY life i'm living, not any body else's. You do not understand me like I do. You can not love ME as much as I can.

So I thought I would share this with you this Sunday. You may not even know you are going through a challenge yourself till you watch the video and understand. And if you know someone else (male or female) who is always down, depressed, talking "insane"... or just a very dear friend; do share with them the video below:

Always remember, YOU are unique, YOU are loved, and YOU are AWESOME!

Happy Sunday y'all :*

You made it, if you were born around the 60s to the 80s!

I thought this video made a lot of sense. Please enjoy below;

Your Trash is Kelvin's inspiration.

Kelvin Doe is only 15 years old. He has not even gone off to the university yet. His story will make you feel weak, yet very strong.

Please watch the mini documentary here.

I'd like to add, that David also made a very valid point (which I have been trying to get people to pay serious attention to). He said, "Sierra Leone and many African countries receive aid, but it does NOT necessarily get us anywhere.WE ARE NOT LOOKING INTO THE FUTURE. WE ARE NOT DESIGNING OUR OWN FUTURE."

Are you designing your own future?

Dreams Coming True: Case "Lupita"

Congratulations to Lupita Nyong'o'. She worked her butt off. Probably didn't expect this much fame and glory over a very short period of time (Dec. 2013 till now), however, this is just a typical example of hard-work paying off and believing in ones-self.

Receiving her award at the Oscars for best supporting actress

And as with fame comes backlash and misunderstandings. There's the Dencia vs Lupita ish, then a few minutes ago, I read about how some people are looking at her skin color as a seasonal "trend." Like that even makes any sense..."i like Pharrell's shorts suit, imma get me 5... i'm loving the new blonde looks, imma dye my hair blonde... i'm feeling Lupita's color, imma *blank*" #ridiculous

*Digress*
I thought to write this piece because I was watching on the news yesterday Dangote being interviewed. Dangote has made it to the top 25 Richest people in the world. Mike Adenuga is also on Forbes list... then I recollected someone telling me once that Adenuga was once a driver. And this man is now on Forbes list of the Richest people in the world. hmmm...what number am I on that list sef?! (Don't even bother teasing. A friend did and already told me it's not too late to become a driver :p #joker)
*Back to the matter*

Anyhoo, back to Lupita...

I wonder if she even thought she would have legends on her contacts list. 

She has graced the red carpet with her flawless skin (oh! how I love flawless dark-skin), rocked beautiful garments... however, I truly would have love to see her rock a little more African-inspired outfits or at least made by an African designer. Spread the love girl (or am I wrong?!)

Your dreams can come true... for real!

Greater than a Happy New Month

Don't you just hate those "Happy New Month" messages. You get the same "inspirational" text every month but for some reason your every-days seem to be all the same.

Personally, I don't think it's enough to wish people the generic 'Happy New Month.' Like for real, what does that gesture even mean?!

However, speaking in that context of wishes for others, we need to be a bit more motivating with our words. Even in churches today; only a few will tell you to pray against and for things. Let me explain (Kevin Hart inspired ;) lol):

• Some of our churches tell us to pray against a lot of things only, more than requiring us to pray FOR some things.
• We are also binding, rebuking, and breaking. What happens next? Everything is broken and you are left to just wonder what to do with your life now that you are free of all those "spiritual chains."

My point simply is after you pray/ work against something, start praying/ working for something else.

So on to the motivational ish...here's a little food for thought for the new month.
