WHY YOU SHOULDN'T LOWER YOUR EXPECTATIONS

Image
Over and over again, people tell me I shouldn’t expect too much.  Whether it’s about relationships, what I want to do with my life or something as simple as getting a good grade on a test.  And I think that’s really, really stupid.  I’m an inherently optimistic person, and I can think of so many reasons why I shouldn’t lower my expectations. YOU’RE LETTING OTHER PEOPLE CONTROL YOUR LIFE When you listen to people who are trying to convince you to minimize your hopes, you are letting those people make decisions for you.  One of the things I have always stood by is doing what you think is best for you.  It may sound cheesy and cause some eye-rolling, but ultimately, I believe it’s what has made me as happy as I am.  Pessimism is pointless to me, and unlike a lot of negative people, I refuse to let it run my life.  If you want to achieve and experience all you can, don’t let negative people influence you. THERE’S POTENTIAL YOU COULD...

15 PET PEEVES OF MINE WHICH ARE UTTERLY RELATABLE

Image
Hello guys. Welcome to my worlddddd. I don't know why but I'm extremely excited today. Okay so let's roll. To some of us who don't understand what a pet peeve is; It is something that a particular person finds especially annoying(According to Google's dictionary). Pet peeves often get a negative connotation.  When you’re identifying pet peeves, you’re pretty much making a list of all the things that annoy you.  But, listing off all of your pet peeves can really help you get out any anger or frustration you have without being directly harmful or mean to anyone.  Just a disclaimer, some of these may not be annoying to you, and they may seem petty, but we all have things that make us just the slightest bit angry.  So, without further ado, here is a list of my 16 pet peeves (in no specific order). 1. Rude food vendors - I just don't understand them. It is my money that add up to make your salary. The least you can do is to be nice. 2. Texting first and exp...

WHAT PICKS ME UP WHEN LIFE GETS TOUGH

Image
Hardships, Tribulations, Trials and failures are inevitable so far as we are on planet earth. But the good news is we choose to let it get to us or fight it. Welcome to my worlddddd dearies. Let's sail through Inspiration! I have been hit so many times at every stage of my life and I'm actually amazed I'm still alive. I believe God is the whole source for my survival regardless of the techniques I use to get right back on my feet. First of all when things don't go on well and all hope is gone, I coil and shield myself from everyone and everything(Food is not part please). I mostly find peace in being alone and that's when I can reflect on my life. I proceed with my trust in time. My past experiences has taught me that time is the main guyyy. Time heals broken hearts. Time tells if you will get into a relationship with your bestfriend or not. Time tells if you would be friends with your crush or not. Time tells if all the sacrifices were worth it or not. Time!...

5 APPS I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT

Image
I don't know why I had a hard time choosing the top 5, maybe because I have a lot of Apps I love and it's difficult to leave some aside. Anyways. Welcome to my worlddddd. FIVE APPS I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT. Pretty Interesting. Buckle up and let's read together. YOUTUBE I seriously love this app. I mean everything is literally on here. Songs, movie trailers, top niches, DIY videos and a whole lot. I like the fact that individuals can create contents by themselves on their channels which can gradually earn them money. Talking about channels, do you know that I started my channel in 2017? Oh yess. It's pretty amazing and I'm really doing well. Don't try to go and find me on the app though, because it's in my head. I planned and executed the channel in my head. (You are allowed to laugh. I'm even laughing myself). Well, I enjoy entertaining and educating myself on YOUTUBE. PINTEREST Oh and there is Pinterest. Roberta Q introduced me to pint...

MY GREATEST ACHIEVEMENT

Image
An achievement. The spelling even says it all. Well. People normally set goals or targets and it's likely they might fail or not. I don't think accomplishing something is only when you achieve the ultimate goal but rather just bringing up the idea and going for it is a win-win for me. Yeahhh. "ALL MEN WHO HAVE ACHIEVED GREAT THINGS HAVE BEEN GREAT DREAMERS" -Orison Swett Marden. My greatest achievement so far would be when I participated in last year's Miss Ghana beauty pageant. And like Orison said, I started by dreaming. I can still remember myself in the bathroom imagining boarding a car from Tema to Accra, auditioning and rejoicing because I was picked by the Judges. All this imagination in the bathroom. Funny huh? Ikr. I literally put my Job on the line with my decision to audition for the pageantry and that was one of the most difficult decisions I had to make in my entire life. Thanks to the one friend I confided in who urged me on. (No need to...

A LETTER TO MY TEENAGE SELF

Image
Hello Little me, I have really missed you so much. Yeaaaahhh. I'm writing to you from the Future. Pretty cool, huh? Adulthood hasn't been easy at all. There's a lot of stress, difficulties in decision making and a total exhaustion in surviving a whole Day. I'm not yet the Lady we all agreed you would become. I fell off the rails but I'm trying to get back on track. There's too much pressure in this world of mine, aswear. Priorities have changed and it's because of the passage from you to me. Getting older has made me to experience changes in my physical appearance, the things that I value, the morals I uphold, and the aspect of life I consider important. Hence, enabling me make some adjustments. I wish I could dispense some advice and wisdom but I'm YOU and I know you wouldn't heed it. There's a whole lot going on right now! Did I ever mention depression to you? My girl, it is real yhh. There are times when I don't even want to wake up...

MY COVID19 AND LOCKDOWN EXPERIENCES

Image
CORONAVIRUS. 2020. Hmmmm. Tell me a great pandemic would have invaded my country in 2020 and I would have insisted you were crazy. I remember how people were really looking forward to 2020 with a lot of hope and positivity and of course I wasn't exempted. I heard about coronavirus in December 2019, I believed it wouldn't come to Ghana because Ebola couldn't set its crooked legs here and it seems I was wrong after all. There was fear and panic all over after confirming our first case, especially when some bloggers started spreading fake news on social media.   We had just started counting the number of cases when orders were given that social gatherings and religious activities were banned plus schools and the borders were to be closed. I think these measures made people to start taking the virus seriously. I was disappointed because I had barely started going for classes and I was really looking forward to it. The closing of schools made most universities venture into ...
