Dear Self, Be what God intended you to Be!

Dear Self, Be what God intended you to Be!

Dear Sabano, I just want to you to know that you are enough...No matter where you go...No matter how people treat you...No matter if your jokes aren't funny enough for others to laugh out loud...No matter how hard it is to simply pass Maths and chemistry...even if you score below the average mark, always know that you are enough and you can still be what God intended you to be... Secondly Peace, please listen carefully. I need you to put this in your mind and have it at heart__this world has two kinds of people those with bad intentions and…

Dear Self…This I Promise You!

Dear Self…This I Promise You!

Dear Self, You did not choose this life, it chose you! The love you are looking for from people maybe hard to get but love for oneself can be easily found. Living without a biological father is really hard at times but that experience cautions you on who to choose as a husband because you will find all the missing fatherly love in the right husband! Silence is a disaster and I urge you to always speak out whenever something is wrong!! Everything will not always be as you wish it to be but I promise you that all will…

Dear Self…Life Is Beyond Us.

Dear Self…Life Is Beyond Us.

Dear self: First and foremost, nothing is set in stone. Whatever the situation, you can change it. Don't take it so hard on yourself.   If there's one thing you ought to know, life is short. Take that trip, buy those nice shoes (that’s if you like them) and eat that ice cream when the craving hits. Do the things you love. It doesn't matter if a million people think you can't do it. All you need is that one "YES" from God. I once listened to a wise woman that said, Do the best you can until you know…

Dear Self…Everything will fall into place.

Dear Self…Everything will fall into place.

Dear Self, You probably do not realize it but you are a pretty smart and capable person. You should grow up knowing that you should take some more risks in life. Those risks will probably pay off better than you think. Cultivate the confidence you need to go out and so something on your own. Instead of being a follower, learn to lead and everything else will fall in place. Love, the older you. Dear You, And You. And You…

Dear Self,this is me a few years finally talking to…You!

Dear Self,this is me a few years finally talking to…You!

Dear Younger Me…. This is me after a few years talking to you, having recaps and flash backs of you in a minute or even less. Having tiny scenes of the moments we have shared be it happy, sad, entertaining, savage, harsh and all. But at some point I really wish we lived this past life with an older us to tell us what to do and watch out for us. Since we didn’t any way, this is me telling you how we would have rolled. Dear self … Be very honest however much it hurts… You have tried being…

Dear You, And You. And You…

Dear You, And You. And You…

Before I even start this, let me give full credit to Michael Reid for this poem. Admittedly, I’m biased, but I believe we women are powerful beyond measure. We excel at multitasking. We are innately compassionate. We are natural bridge builders, peacemakers and cheerleaders. We have nurturing hearts and can move mountains when we set our minds to it. Yet too often, we sell ourselves short. Way too short. So as this month comes to an end; I am sharing this poem a friend sent me with all the women out there... ************************************************ Dear Woman, Sometimes You'll just be too…

Dear Self…Some day you are going to shine!!!

Dear Self…Some day you are going to shine!!!

To my young self; You are diamond in the rough. Hang in there, the mud won't take your precious prestige value away. The time to be mined will come. Never forget that the longer you’re in the ground, the more you grow valuable. When given the chance, shine so bright, glimmer all the way that the highest bidder takes pride in your glamour. The hardest lesson you will learn is having to find a balance between relating, trusting and comparing choices. But worry not; one day you will dictate your life and choose what goes into your mouth! Young self,…

Dear Self…Self Reliance is always key.

Dear Self…Self Reliance is always key.

Dear self, The going might be tough right now; Feeling like no one is ever in your corner. You can't lose faith! It gets better with time. Don't be desperate to show different men love; Some are simply there to teach you lessons. Crying is healthy, super relieving. So do it more often. Don’t be such an open book, living like that is a double edged sword. Disappointment will get so overwhelming but self reliance is always key...there are only so few people in your corner. Truth being told no one will ever be there for you like you will...so…

Dear Self…Here’s My Advice.

Dear Self…Here’s My Advice.

Dear self, Life is much bigger than what is in front you at the moment. Do not be afraid of change. Do not miss the opportunities that will present themselves to you time and time again. Don't be afraid to say what you feel, don’t be too naive and don’t be afraid to EXPERIENCE life to its fullest.  Embrace every lesson; you’ll be grateful for you learn from them. Every single one will make you wiser. Without these lessons I'd still be the naive child you are, which I believe is a far worse fate in the real world. Remember,…

Dear Self…Please! Stay In School.

Dear Self…Please! Stay In School.

Dear self,  You grew up in a small village and sometimes you had less, But God blessed you with two powerful angels that are mom and dad. Both would go hungry to see you have food on the table, both would stay up all night just to watch you sleep. The introduction to education was the best part of your childhood. With knowledge you gained power and with power your sad past life started to fade... Today you continue to rise not because of what you do but because of what you know A famous writer said in the current error you're…
