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 

I am usually all for honesty; I wrote this piece for one the blogs I feature in, but apparently it couldn’t fly because it didn’t centre on an African, (which is good, we got to celebrate Africa). ‘No worries', I said to myself, 'I wrote it, Emma Gonzalez inspires me, so, ama share it here'… While valentine’s festivities for the year was in the air, students of Majory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida were experiencing the most memorable days of their youthful lives; a fellow student of the above named school went on a rage and killed seventeen people. Seventeen lives were lost because one unstable person had his hands on a weapon of destruction. This event is not just a traumatic one for those involved, but more of an uproar; come on, its rational for anyone in this situation to be livid. Having seen clips of the incident, watched the town hall meeting aired by CNN, read tributes, speeches, and the ever trending hashtags #WeCallBS #NotAgain, it’s amazi...

Star Struck!

Hmmm… My people, na so I see my celebrity crushes… Na so I stand at attention Na so my mouth no gree move Na so I just dey look Chai! My brain no even boot to take picture… Na so I dull! Ha-ha! I wrote this poem on the spur of writing this post. I should actually give you the gist… Scene 1 I needed to use the ATM, so, I decided to go the nearest one around my office, I said to myself ‘this won’t take time, no need to carry phone’, that’s how I left my phone in the office oh. I got to the ATM, there were a couple of people, so I joined the queue, that’s how a black jeep rolled into the parking lot. Enter Nathaniel Bassey… I opened my eyes with surprise, (if you read my posts, you know Nathaniel is BAE!) and began to wonder why no one was screaming and acting all giddy. ‘Is the ATM working’ he asked. ME!!! He spoke to ME!!! I couldn’t even answer I just shook my head because I was too mesmerised. God bless you, I am...

Society and one of its ills

By
This post started off as a rant, but then I decided why just rant? Critic the ill, but also share lessons you’ve amassed overtime. Remember, this month is the month of purpose, why rant and not have a purpose? I usually say, ‘everyone has an opinion, all it takes to be swayed to the other side – is good argument. Daz all! I can start a movement on ‘School should be optional, because these days an individual can ‘’blow’’ without the four walls of a classroom’, yes I’ll have followers, but then TeamEducationForAll would rise and protest with their POV, and then the debate would begin. *yawn* it is an endless vicious cycle. Today’s rant is all about Single. Singleness. Single persons. Single not in a relationship. Who dictates social media? People! Societies are made of people. It is funny that social media has a way of dragging one down ehn, but then again, its social media, we still need her (yes, social media is female), ironically I read three different articles...
