Are You Okay?

If you haven't figured I'm a series fan by now, well I guess that's not your fault. lol. I LOVE SERIES, movies are to mainstream, hehe (have you wondered why there now seems to be a sequel in many movies?)
 Anyways apparently I carried last (covers face) by not knowing "Being Mary Jane" season 3 was out, I sharply downloaded the episodes I missed, (spoiler alert: Lisa died). Everyone is going through something, it might not seem like a big deal to you, but it does to the person going through such.

Everyday, we message people with the question; in fact it has become a greeting: "How are you?" and the usual response is "I'm fine" (I usually type I'm aii (short for alright) lol). I have an aunt who says "I know you are fine, I'm asking how you are doing?". lol. yeah she does it every time.

In episode 3 (season 3) of "Being Mary Jane" titled "Ugly Truth",  many of us are really not "fine". Mary Jane said she asked Lisa a thousand times "How are you??" but she never wanted to hear her truth.
I remember a sermon I heard many years ago, the preacher was buttressing on being truly concerned, he was like whenever we ask "how are you"? be really concerned. You know what happened a week after he said that message? I saw him and he asked me "how are you?" I said "I'm fine" and he was like "okay, bye". Now I'm not judging him or anything, he probably had a lot on his plate that day. lol and I'm also not saying yeah everyone who asks you "how are you"? you should now begin to pour out your troubles on them. The saying "a problem shared is a problem half solved, doesn't mean tell everyone your problem.
I'll suggest these though:
Firstly; you have Jesus (there's not a friend like him, he knows all about your struggles), next stay close to a friend or group of friends; good and positive ones, not one that would tell you that "what do you even know" or "caaman shut up, life is hard for everyone" or (the one I'm sick of hearing) "depression is not for black people". And also have a source of inspiration; perhaps a tv show or a book, even the Bible.

Please be truly concerned about your friends or family members, everyone is living behind some make up, pictures lie too. I pray for grace to be able to cope with life's challenges and also be able to reach out. 

My condolences go out to the family of the Enugu corper who died, lots of skeptical reports on the cause of death. May the soul of the departed rest in peace. Amen.

With love, theInspiredCutiee 

Sunday Special

FEAR Where can I hide from this scary beast I'm so tired of attending these feasts I have been held bound by your lies  You told me I can't go beyond where I am My whole life I had dreams that would transform the world I saw myself sitting with Kings Dinning with Princes But In reality,all that was on my plate was hate I looked around and saw regret You made me feel comfortable, here on this dinning table Feeding me with stories of how I can't, How I wouldn't be able to! You told me they would laugh at me the moment I opened my mouth to speak That explains why everyone thinks I'm weak I got letters of Invitation from greatness You tore them right before my eyes You took me out once in a while to see your friends,mediocrity, status quo and Impossibility They seemed cool at the time Till I met faith Then I realised my whole life has been a deception All this while I was at the wrong reception Faith took me on a walk and showed me all the things I ...

The SS 4

By
If you’ve been following these series, you know they started off as a rant, but I decided to be inspiring, (as usual, hehe). If you haven’t (where have you been!) – you can read the Kick Off , Part 1 , Part 2 , Part 3 . I concluded part 3 saying watch out for myth 3… (still watch out!) ‘I thrive on purpose’, ‘I exist because of purpose’, so what then are the things I should be conscious of during this phase? Literally what lessons should I gather from my singleness? This requires a critical look at Genesis 2: 8-17: 1.       Place: God has a purpose for every place He puts me, He wants me to see, learn something before He can show me the next step. For example; He placed me in my family for a reason. Ironically many (myself inclusive) place ourselves and source for a person or people to validate this place we’ve placed ourselves. Even more sadly, many (myself inclusive) fight the place God has placed us. 2.      Pu...

List

By
As we countdown hours to the end of the year, in every corner there seem to be lists of things that happened this year; they maybe favorite or worsts, or top experiences or things that made history, sha lists. (you get my drift right?). I don't think I have sat down to draw up a 'list' well expect when I was applying for a job and they specifically said give 10 reasons why we should hire you. Yeah that happened. Lol. So I have been thinking, really thinking. A whole lot can happen in a year, emphasis on  'whole lot'. Except you write every detail of what happens daily and not miss a day (I wonder if there are people that are this deep) you are bound to forget some things. The movie 'INSIDE OUT' depicted how our mind works. (If you've seen it; you have an idea of what I'm talking about, if you've not I don't know what you are waiting for) There are too many things that have happened this year for me as an individual, in fact as a...
