It’s Our Anniversary!!!!!

NaksLiving

Two Years!!! It has been two years since I launched this blog! Wow! And what incredible two years they have been. I had absolutely no idea what I was doing when I set off. Infact I created the Conversations256 in 2016, wrote one post and then deleted it. I gathered enough courage to relaunch it in mid 2017! I had to teach myself everything about Wordpress (Thank you Google and YouTube) I knew why I was starting this, but I had no idea, none! About where this was heading! If anyone had told me, two years ago, that this site…

Dear Self…Life Is Beyond Us.

C256 Member0 CommentsLetters To Self

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.

C256 Member0 CommentsLetters To Self

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!

C256 Member0 CommentsLetters To Self

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 Self…Please! Stay In School.

C256 Member0 CommentsLetters To Self

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…

A Special Thank You From Me To You…

Naks0 CommentsLiving

I started this year with absolutely no certainty that I was going to write as much as I have this year. The posts may seem few and far between but for a person who had stopped writing a year or so ago; those few posts are a major victory for me. But I couldn’t have done it without you. Yes you. All of you that have granted me the tremendous gift of your attention. By giving me your attention for a few minutes every week you’ve given me your precious time. Time that you could have used to do something…

Dear Self, This is an update.

C256 Member0 CommentsLetters To Self

Dear Self, This is an update on 20 year old you. I have been able to un-mask the snakes, liars hypocrites. But I have been able to discover my true friends too. They have shown me, during the times that where’ve forgotten, how worthy I am. I have been able to know what true love is. End of update, Daph, 20 year old you.

To All The Children Who Had To Grow Up Fast…

Naks0 CommentsLiving

I was scrolling through Quora recently and a certain story caught my eye. A young man was narrating, “When my father turned 13 years old he was woken early by his mother. She silently led him downstairs to the dark kitchen where she lit a light and started making him a big breakfast. His father was sitting at the table silently. My dad was confused at the situation and even more so when his mother put a big plate of bacon and eggs on the table in front of him – and not his father. His father reached into his…
