You matter
See yourself through not just your eyes but the eyes of your maker. You are magnificent in all ramifications, an embodiment of love and magnanimity. You are special. You have to tell yourself this everyday until you believe.
You attract the same energy you reflect to the outside world, so stop beating yourself up over things that didn't go as planned, on the bright side you had a plan, you got a good learning experience and it is not the end until God Himself says so.
This is just an encouragement for you to realize you are best in the game, you aren't better than anyone and no one is better than you, we all need each other. As you try not to bring anyone down, never let anyone bring you down and most importantly, NEVER bring yourself down! You are only what you choose to be and work towards that.
You got you!
Alone
What Hurts more than hurting is hurting alone. We all need people or just a particular person sometimes to just be there for us. It's a very warm feeling to know that someone has got your back! Although, these days, you can't tell who's got you or who doesn't. We all have to stay strong in times like this and be rest assured, nothing lasts forever.

The joke called 'Trans-age'
Ever heard of the word 'Trans-age' also known as 'trans-fluid?' Well, this article is for you regardless.
Trans-age is a new term and has now been associated with transgender. When someone is identified as a trans-age or trans-fluid individual, the person is said to be of different age. This is not even a real thing but some people its existence as if their life depends on it.
Recently, a man abandoned his wife and kids to claim a new identity as a six year old girl all in light (or in this case darkness) of being trans-age (this example explains the reason behind trans-age linkage to transgender). Now you see why I stan the fact that trans-age isn't even a real thing? Again, some forty year old takes liking to 14 year old girls and when called a pedophile he refuted and claimed to be trans-age and felt as if he was 14 himself. Smh, pedophilia in obvious disguise.
I'm sick and tired of the people giving names to individual madness in other for the world to be accepting of it, very negative!

Self War❌
Despite how much you try to believe in yourself, you still find yourself having inner conflicts. It is like a part of you encourages you while the other part tries to bring you down.
So many individuals are quite suicidal today due to self war. Although, there are so many things that comes to play when it comes to the topic of suicide but self war is one of the major reasons. Self war is a derogatory act, it makes you limit your capabilities and your whole being in general. You no longer have control over yourself. It is bad for your health.
Self war can be self influenced or people-influenced. It can be caused by comparison; when you compare yourself to peers and other people. You need to understand that your mind is only creating an image of happiness when you allow yourself to fantasize about living other people's lives, not knowing their inner struggles, when variably speaking, you could learn to appreciate the little things like how well you have been doing compared to the past and how far you have come in life. The media and society at large also play a huge role in this. We all tend to judge people by their physique and demeanor, no one sees the good in anyone who doesn't appear befitting to their eyes. Certain standards have been set in other for you to be accepted in the society, so sad. Debunk such mentality as it makes victims feel insecure and unappreciated which leads to self doubt and limitation of potentials.
Some people do not know how to overcome self war while some do. As self war exists, no matter how infinitesimal, in everyone's life, we all need to preach and persuade the fact that it is in your hands to limit or grow yourself, it is a personal decision that you have to make. If you see a situation as though it is bigger than you, then it will play out that way, otherwise, when you are always optimistic no matter the circumstances and you rise above the challenge, take the bull by the horn, then you will always find yourself trying to get better and better, one step at a time, day by day. Remember, 'where there is a will, there is a way'. Don't give up on you!

Be Inspired
Inspiration is so easy to just say as a word but it is way broader than it seems. Inspiration can, sometimes, be really difficult to find but sometimes it could be so easy. Nonetheless, it is a huge part of everyone's life and not everyone understands this. Inspiration is the act of an elevating or stimulating influence upon the intellect, emotion or creativity, simply put, it is a new idea especially one which arises suddenly and is clever or creative.
Your inspiration is to be renewed every moment just like your faith because without inspiration, most problem solving ideas would not have been created, innovations won't be possible, even when founding something, you need to 'be inspired'. In summary, to be innovative about anything at all, you need inspiration.
Now let's talk about "muse"; it is a source of inspiration and you need a muse to be inspired. It could come from the slightest things; like, talking to someone intellectual, watching a movie, reading a book, a dream you had or even something/someone you saw outside in a brief outing. When you find a muse on a daily basis, as a writer or any other profession/career/occupation you fit in, you are always inspired which helps you get innovative towards certain ideas.
I'll leave you with a little advice, whenever you get inspired, you have to write it down so the idea or thought doesn't disappear into thin air. This is why it is always important to have a writing material with you, always.
How do you stay inspired? What's your muse? Let's discuss in the comments and don't forget to like and subscribe.

Don't say half-caste, say...
We all love the different skin tone a/skin colour God gave us. It is one of our various distinctive features and it is our uniqueness. Some people have embraced and as well promoted peace in various ways e. g marriage, love, work, sports and the likes. In terms of love and marriage, some Caucasians (white people) got married to some natives (black people) and have had kids which has led to the topic of today, the term 'half-caste'.
When one is half-caste, the person is said to have two or more different ethnicity or nationality. Unfortunately, the term 'half-caste' is supposedly offensive; this is because it was highly used by the ethnographers throughout the British Empire to try to classify "the natives". Therefore, it is better to say BIRACIAL or MIXED Race instead of 'half-caste', it is much more acceptable.
I hope this was helpful, let me know what you think in the comment section.

Colorism
Firstly, this is a negative, devaluing practice. It is the discrimination based on skin colour. It is also known as 'shadeism' which is a form of prejudice or discrimination whereby members of the same race or ethnicity are treated differently due to a darker skin tone.
It is one thing to be racist and another thing to be a colorist. Nothing like this should even be in existence. If we discriminate each other even from the same race, how then do we move forward and spread more information against racism? Skin tone should never matter when it comes to the topic of equity and equality.
Be the change you want to make, if in anyway you have been involved in the debilitating act, I urge you to desist from it henceforth.
Why spread hate when there is so much love?

Oh No!
Step by step I walk in the terror of the night,
A great storm to take me by surprise,
I put on my hoodie and attempt to rise
Only to try and fall back twice.
Having a shortcut in mind and nowhere to hide,
I begin to run swiftly, as for regret, I might.
Saying a prayer, thanking nature for the moonlight,
A sudden stop along my path, not for rest but for fright!
Something unbeknownst to me, something appealing to be after a life.
Trying to see through my frightened eyes, I walk further for clarity,
As if responding to my movement, the creature moves a step closer,
In the shadows of the night, I behold a black cloak and red eyes...
How did I get here?
Hidden Day
We go out everyday for different purposes and we meet with people from different walks of life, some of which we enjoy their company and some we don't.
The best part of going out most times is when we go out to spend time with peers and we just sit back and relax, have fun and live in the moment. We tend to enjoy a lot of this 'not-so-often' gatherings and it is quite healthy for our minds. But we don't often anticipate the end of these gatherings, after all the fun and laughter, we are forced to face the reality of our lives afterwards.
We go back home to spend time with our family and sometimes we have no one to spend time with, we end up with just ourselves. It's safe to say that we have all felt that inner loneliness or emptiness inside after we get home from work, hangouts and the likes, that moment there is like a hidden part of the day. Best believe, that moment inspires me to do a lot of things and I take it as an opportunity to get creative, you should to.
Have you ever experienced a hidden day? Let me know your thoughts.

Pin my heart
Do you ever just meet someone new after anticipating for a long time and you just feel disappointed all of a sudden?
It freaks me out to wait days, weeks or months to finally meet a person and it turns out not even close to what I had expected. It doesn't have to be anything romantic, probably a platonic relationship or meeting platform.
Many people lack charisma which is the key to captivating the heart of most people. This is the reason why you feel disappointed after meeting someone and vice versa. You have to be able to give a very lasting impression or first-time experience and by so doing, you create a long term memory in the mind of the person.
It could be a simple smile, a meaningless but entertaining conversation, small talks, making the person feel comfortable. It could also be giving a good advice or a helping hand. These things seems so small but yet so genuine and that's all that matters.
Have you ever anticipated a meeting with anyone? How did it go?!
