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 😘

The SS 4

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...

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 ...
