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 

If you missed Part 1, here is the link: http://theinspiredcutiee.blogspot.com.ng/2015/10/part-1.html#more Part 2: Habit A habit is something done repeatedly sometimes sometimes unconsciously. 40% of everything we do is done merely from habit. Experts say that a habit can be broken or formed in 30 days. I have bad habits, (cell phone addiction, PROCRASTINATION) some I don't even know how I'll be if I stop,(watching too much series) some I have stopped, (I used to suck my lower lip) and I'm sure you too have some habits that are bad. No judgment, habits form us, its when they are bad that it becomes a problem. Breaking a habit can seem overwhelming, especially when you have more than one. Choose a single habit and work on that until you are victorious before you pick up another one. Lemme share a classic example, I began to exercise daily few weeks ago, normal body pains are expected, but me I stopped.  I couldn't deal. On Saturday 24th October I

End It?

By
I love the series 'How To Get Away With Murder' not necessarily because of its name or its characters or storyline but because I love very good series scripts and the above is definitely on my top ten list. I'm not about to rave about the series, lol, (you can go online, download it or go to the nearest DVD retail outlet and 'grab your copy now') but to talk about the advice Annalise Keating (played by Viola Davis) gave to Nate's Wife - Nia Lahey (who is dying of ovarian cancer in the show) Here's an excerpt from the episode: Nia: I want you to end it Annalise: I'm sorry? Nia: I want you to kill me Then after so much consideration and guilty conscience, here is how it went down: Annalise: I think about it a lot; killing myself, I have ever since I was a child, lot of times I think the world would be a much better place without me in it, but I don't do it. You are a better woman than me, and if I don't deserve to die then you definitel

Part 1

In one of his songs, Nathaniel Bassey described Zechariah 4:6 (Not by power, not by might, but by my Spirit; saith the Lord) as thus; So many of us have tried to fight addiction in the flesh, you've tried to stop that habit, you've tried to get out of that relationship, you've tried to break through, you've tried will power BUT its not by power not by might but by my Sprit saith the Lord. Hence the kick off of the series, (they don't follow each other in the traditional sense of series, think of it like American Horror Story Series) Part 1: ADDICTION Dictionary dot com defines it as the state of being enslaved to a habit, or practice or to something that is physiologically or physical habit-forming as narcotics, to such an extent that its cessation causes severe trauma. A couple of months back, my brother and I were arguing over 'habit' 'addiction' and 'obsession', which comes first?, which is difficult to break? and so much more. Can
