THIS IS US

 In order to clarify any confusion, my previous post ended in an enigma. I was going to write some more but I didn’t want to go on and on and then begin to yarn and you become bored, more importantly I wanted to found out people’s views on the topic.  
Anyways, moving on… I was on the search for new series to watch, (it’s not like I have finished the ones I have oh, lol) because in this rave of social media, very good series are rare. Plus, I have had my share of good, bad and ugly series. Usually my process for selecting series (I love series) goes like this:
1.      The Title, it has to be catchy, probably one of the reasons I started “How To Get Away With Murder and You’re the worst”
2.      In the event that number one isn’t available, Referral. Someone has got to have hyped, or be psyched about it. (I didn’t even start Game of Thrones till season 2) And trust me not just anyone. Lots of people have various ideas on what is nice. *side eye*
3.      The online reviews and ratings; I mean if one person thinks a particular series is shit, I may have a rethink and give it the benefit of the doubt; but if lots of people are upset and ranting about how much time and MBs they’ve wasted, then its shit.
4.      Weirdly, the cover photos, posters, and sometimes the cast; probably because I can’t be bothered about the directors and producers. (Like who checks the credit *rolling my eye*)
5.      Which brings me to how I decided to watch this particular series “This is Us”. I had searched a couple of new series, read up on the synopsis, but this particular one just caught my attention. It just warmed my heart and I decided to give it a shot. You can say that point number five is Randomly warming my heart. Lol.

So I downloaded it, and trust me it is beautiful. Most series are clichéd, although we love them, or should I say I love them lol. The writer and director (yeah I said director, lol) have beautiful minds.
It has a lesson to be learnt on the irony of life. “You can take the sourest lemon life has to offer and turn it into something resembling a lemonade”
I’m not going to spoil it for you, naah, there would be no spoilers. Just take time to watch it. I hope you enjoyed the pilot as much as I did. And I hope the series continues to be beautiful.  

With love,
TheInspiredCutiee 😘

Short story type of day

By
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...
