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 

Short story type of day

I wrote this while I was in church (please don't judge me , it just popped in my mind and I began to write) She felt something slowly tickle her face, she ignored it the first and second time, then it began to move more rapidly than before. She woke up in a startle, disoriented and wondered what could have been causing this, it felt like it was on her face, she touched her face and it was wet, 'what's this?' she asked herself because it was dark. She quickly jumped up and flicked the switch on.. She screamed when she saw it was blood! The small dark spot on her pillow and on her nightie (when she sat up) were both evidence that she was bleeding from her nose. 'No, no not again' she cried. 'This can't be happening again' she said! Then she quickly remembered she was to tilt her head up whenever her nose began to bleed, she tilted her head and waited a couple of minutes but it didn't stop. She began to panic because she was loosin...

Lauren Daigle

By
Lauren Daigle is a contemporary christian music singer. I absolutely love her voice. She speaks to your soul and situation.  Her music is exceptional; but my favorite two are: How Can It Be and Trust In You. The first time I heard 'How Can It Be' I was in tears.. Sigh.. Like I said she speaks to your situation. That moment of my life I felt inadequate of God's love and then I heard this song.  Just take a moment to look at the lyrics:  http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/laurendaigle/howcanitbe.html 'Trust in you' is nothing short of her amazing voice, again the lyrics blow me away. The chorus is always a reminder: When You don’t move the mountains I’m needing You to move When You don’t part the waters I wish I could walk through When You don’t give the answers as I cry out to You I will trust, I will trust, I will trust in You! I always ask myself; can I still trust God when He doesn't give me the answers I want? Can I still be genuinely gra...

The Halo Effect

By
Are you exhibiting the halo effect? Do you buy products because of the celebrity representing it? Or stay in a relationship that is wrong because of one good quality? We are all attracted to people all the time. What attracts us to others? And what attracts you? When you meet someone for the first time you draw a conclusion about them, subconsciously you decide whether you like them or not. BUT is it possible that one trait or aspect of one's character can influence your perception about them? Honestly, I judge a person's character based on their physical appearance, its a quick judgment that is very likely inaccurate. The good thing is that once I begin to have a conversation, I realize there's more to the person than just physical looks. (Well that's for those that are actually more than their looks). The halo effect can cloud our judgment even when we know about it. When one good quality spills its appeal unto other elements of a per...
