End of the year realization

December last year, 2015, just as we are now in 2016, we were all so excited to welcome and enter into another year, and with the excitement, its comes with itself new hopes and expectations and most of us always reserve a tiny space for a new resolutions and we are very quick to set new goals and enlarge the sack of our dreams, because this period (the Christmas time) and the urge to enter into something which feel new (but not at all) changes the vibes and the atmospheres that add a little lit to the way we see and respond to things and even life itself seems a bit quicker. The twirl is that delightful that make us feel as if we are arriving at the end of a long, tough race, as if every old thing and our old way of doing things are suddenly getting a chance to be anew again. Doesn’t each last two weeks of December really just make us hope that all the hassle and hustle from January to December is finally going to be over??? Now, somewhat, feeling as if January to Dece...

Like a Rubber Shrinks {Confidence}

The mirror always reflects what you want to see Like a pencil rubber shrinks, this confidence is beaten down after every mistake made, and for the sake of the chaos it creates on this white and plain paper sheet, all that feel right to do is to squeeze this complete disordered paper and throw it as far as it could go. Away from sight and memory.  How exciting it will feel to be able to start on a new page; Oh sweet wisdom, remind her that she will definitely make yet another mistake on her new page. That she might learn not to waste precious time and sheets on avoiding the inevitable imperfection, and miss out the realms  of the process. Teach her confidence to sketch over the rough space of this sheets, and give it a beautiful tattoo, shades in colors.  It keeps slipping away,this strength, velour, and confidence by every experience in which forces her to come face to face with the fears of the unknown; discovery left her in awe of herself, ''for the fear...

The Balance

Life is about maintaining the balance December is here! Some are happy, some are not; others are thankful, others feel cheated on. Few are satisfied with the year's met goals and achievements, others are still hopeful.  In January we all had great expectations with big and beautiful dreams, some have exceeded their dreams and expectations, while others are wondering why things did not work out as planned; wondering what exactly went wrong. Hold  on! do not call yourself a failure yet you've got December, and a day can make a difference. Many found love and many give love away, some change for the better other changes for worse, some have grown stronger and some weaker, some faced their fears and challenged the unknown, while other allow opportunities slip their fingers. This is called the "battle for survival" life is a mystery. But in all , life is worth celebrating,  so no matter the category you fall, raise a few toss to your sense of humor, your s...

To Remember

It's easy to feel like we aren't good enough, or rather, we could do better, after all, our friends and mates appear to be doing well and most times, progressing in their various endeavor than we could see ourselves to be: We all judge ourselves too harshly, and reflect on our failures too critically, in an earnest resolve to EXPECT MORE from ourselves, we dwell on the areas in which we need improvement, taking some of our most important accomplishments for granted; "Forgetting that every accomplishment was once a dream"  to achieve more in life, never forget the importance of what you already have/had, and what it's once meant to you! Constantly take plenty of joy in the things you own now, and remember, we are better than what we allow ourselves to believe we are: there is something to show for it.... you might need to look deeper! Have a blessed day y'all💪👏👍

Why quit? (You are already in pain)

Why quit when you are already in pain?? I see you, you are a great fighter. you've been a brave warrior. you've faced the battle without looking down or looking back. you've raised your sword so courageously that even the strongest of your adversary bowed in fear. The Sweat which rolled down through your skin can boil even the hardest yam! your every veins, your every blood, your every senses, your every cells, and every essence of yourself have fought in the battle of your journey, through the darkest of night till the brightest of the day.  Every new dawn, the battles feels tougher, but that's because victory is closer than you can see. Now is no time to be afraid of your fears, you are already in pain. you are already hurt. you've cried it all. you've beared it all till now.  One step more you will be in the finish line, where the crown and rewards awaits... Don't give up now. don't quit now. don't look back now. don't bow now...

Tomorrow "Resist not the echoes of her Dreams "

The tears you see in her eyes are not for sadness but the emotion of HOPE Tomorrow, oh the unknown tomorrow, what's your promise? Bring with yourself the winds of change to release my dreams from the coops that shadows the beauty of it, and blow away the fears that blurred my hope. Tomorrow, oh my awaiting tomorrow, listen and embrace, but do not resist the echoes of my dreams, the voice in which I scream this desire to see the best of you is loud, but encrusted in the voices of those who have taken today and own it.  I will be awake early to feel the first of your breeze and allow it to quench this heat I feel in the coldest of rain. Oh, watch me as I dance to your beauties and colors, and music, and swings to the realms of your pace as my dreams come true. tomorrow! And when you shall passed, as another tomorrow draws near, I shall remember that you gave me a little, big lift, and pushed my foots to jump, and gave your words of encouragement that owes...

A Pinch Awaken It

The effects of our environment Once upon a time! The jungle was tensed and the existence of wild animals was threatened. The lioness gave birth at that same time. She took the cub closer to a village entrance and left it there for safety as the jungle was no more safe. The next moring, a shepherd was taking his flock for grazing when he found the tender cub and he took it to his farm. It grew up feeding on grass and herbs like the flock. They were great together without fear or discrimination, though the lion was differrent it never occur to it that it may belong to a diferent family. One day, the shepherd took them grazing and they were attacked by pride of lions. It was the first time that the lion saw an animals like itself. Although they look alike in appearance, the differences were more. These set of animals like itself do everything differently, their presence make other sheep trembled, they feed on other animals, they roar, they were not looked after by a man and th...

Deeply chivalrous

She won't, can't, and will not deny who she truly is. "She's black" they say, and she's got big butt, thick thighs, wide hips, and big alluring breasts, and most of all her beauty is appealing to the senses and minds aesthetically; the nature of her beauty is like a mystique art. They do not know her story, they judge her before they get to know her. What they do not know is the pride she has in the blood that runs through her veins; the pride she has in the richness of the culture, history and heritage of her people; the strong bond that ties her to her family and the deep connection to her community; the pride she has the African music, art, and dance, attires and colors; the pride she has in her name and the meaning behind it, she has always been the mother of the universe. She's an exhibition of resilience, perseverance, and resourcefulness. Isn't she what you mean by "courage"? She's full of strengths and she's not afraid...

You Deserve to be Held Gracefully with Love and Appreciation

When you love someone, all you want to do is tell it to that person, and show it to that person until that person is convinced about your love towards him/her. We do not leave the ones we love guessing. We want to make sure that they have no doubts about our love for them. We make sure that our intentions are seen and understood for what they truly are; because love is pure and true, we do everything within our abilities to show it and put it forth.  Love cannot be hidden, neither can it be masked in hates or something like that. What I am trying to say is that, do not allow people to make you believe that you are supposed to fight for attention, and care, and love, and affection, and recognition, and peace, and happiness, and appreciation.  In fact, you deserve to be held gracefully with love and affection, and showed appreciation, and recognized for the love and effort you put through to love that other person. You deserve to be treated well for the unique person ...

Some things are not what they seems. Perhaps, there are stories that needed to be read, hence they cannot be told. If you cannot see the details, smell it...

If you can't see the details, smell it... When you look at things, do you see a picture, a statue, a frame, a block, a border or just a mere surface? or do you sometimes, just out of curiosity, search for details, for the hidden, written alphabets and  letters, and stories, and colors that owns meaning to that very thing you are looking at.  In my opinion, I strongly believe that, there is nothing, as something without a story, without a meaning,  or without a purpose. But, our daily routine have build us in a way that we walk and talk, and see, and view things unconsciously, missing out the purpose of those beautiful little things and why they are made. Going around, without connecting to things, without any touch of life with the things around us. We have become so busy that we do not actually have time for the most important things, unknowingly, we do not have time to treat our life's essence.  When you look, won't you look deeper, and ask questions, and ...

Happiness start with you. In you and from you... not with your relationships, not with your  career, not with your material possessions, not with your money... but with you.... A true contentment springs out from the deepest part of your belly,  for your health, and for your natural abilities. For the plants and all animals you see. For the environment and for the oxygen we Breathe in and out as air without even realising it... That smiles that sprouts out when you get lost and deep in your simple thoughts, and that song that keeps on playing in your memory because it won't just go away... This is happiness, this is joy and this is wealth every other good stuffs of life just contributes.... Good morning and may God bless you all beautifully made people. Beauty_Odion.

A true Beauty recognize its Kind.

Beauty acknowledge its kind. The most beautiful people I have seen and known are those who have experience defeats, known sufferings, lived struggles, known loss and somehow, they find their way out of the depths. These people have an appreciation, sensitivity and an understanding of life that have fills them with compassion, gentleness and a deep love and concern for the people and for everything around them_Are you one of them? YOU feel the way you are feeling because you cannot see your own wings... But let me tell you what i see! I see a strong, wide and beautiful wings, and your wing can carry so many others along, and fly high above the sky until those others are also convinced that they too can fly.....  Beautiful people are people who  see all that make them imperfect. They see their imperfections, acknowledge it.accept it. and they embrace it by not allowing those imperfections, past wrongs, and defeats, and struggles, and those unpleasant experiences ...

One different Saturday

Happy weekend lovers I know how much you love to read my life's book... lol Its a different Saturday for moi😆😆 got this flu since two days and it's horrible, and I literally hate to be sick. So I didn't get a lot of hugs today at school as my friends was scared to catch flu...lol normal....

It will be like: ooops! yes, I did it

Well, will i say that I am busy? No! I'm not!!! Truth is, I do not have time to take a selfie, cook like an African woman, have a glass of wine with the girls, watch movies, finish reading my book, go to bed early, or wake up late. last semester, last Academic year.. everything is happening so fast, so many things to do at the same time. working on dissertation, preparing for exams, and searching for an internship, or, rather, searching for prospective employers.... I expected this, but, less did i know that the transition will come this quick and put me in a running shoes, the pace at which this transition is happening, I can't wait to see the transformation: I know its gonna be awesome, i can already smell, feel, and picture it, it is super amazing.  It will be like: ooops! yes. I did it! Loving me this way...... 

when you think that there is no hope, remember there are people with hope in worse situations.

Have you sometimes in life go through very hard situations and despairs. That feeling of wanting to end all pains and sufferings, because you feel like all hope is lost? Take a minute and think of the less privileged. no matter what you are going through there is always someone out there going through worse. there are common things we tend to complain about, though uncomfortable, it should't drive out our sense of appreciation for other little things.  For example, having a headache or a cold!  one can complain about it all day, forgetting that there is someone out there with a lung infection and cannot afford treatment. when you are feeling like there is no hope just think of that other person with hope in a worse situation than you.  We tend to take the little things in life for granted. instead of being grateful for what we have, simple things like our eye sight, our skin, being able to breathe, walk, speak  and eat, etc.  we need to live each day at a ...

They are different people meeting the same person

T his is a very interesting article written by Queen; my twin sister "Be that great person; you would like to me et" Queen_Omo How do you feel when it seems like everyone have you plan out? Though they may be different in race, culture, religion, and statues and yet treat you the same. At times we are very quick to look at situation surrounding us from the external thereby changing environment, career, associates etc.    When it is like every relationship you find yourself starts great and different from the previous ones, but at a certain point, things fall apart. They all end up leaving you and treating you the same way. You may have to give yourself a break and analyze the situation from the beginning to the end and trace when things begin to fall apart. It may be brain tasking but it is very important in order to make things right in the future. No one can do this for you because, before you point accusing finger at the other person, if you are honest with yo...

societal norms that left us in a doomed state of mind

"To be beautiful means to be yourself -   Beauty_Odion The most important decision of your life, the one that will affect every other decision you will make, is the commitment to love yourself_ It impacts the quality of your relationship with others, your professional life, your faith, your aspirations, and your future. It will ultimately affect the circle of your existence....  It is important to understand that to love oneself is not a one time event, it is an endless practice and process you need engage in daily. but the effort is absolutely worth it.  We as humans share so many things in common, and also many things that differentiate us, which make us respond to situations differently. Our culture, religion, backgrounds, traditions, and our environments help shapes us all into the unique beings that we are (beautiful). However, there are norms (i.e. societal norms) that we all can attest and relate with, because we consciously or unconsciously have...

shh.. He kissed her but she won't tell

magic moment in her dairy   Her mind began to ease of all thoughts but this moment "The kiss was slow and delicate and with it her mind began to ease of all thoughts but this moment" Marry me beautiful woman, he pleaded! For the first time they talk-but she turned him down, and said, my father warned me to beware of strangers.... Months later, he came back, did you think about my proposal? he asked. She reacted surprisingly, how come you never mentioned anything about it since the last time we spoke. by the way, i remember telling you NO.  He smile sharply and asked, may I kiss you right now? she was yet surprise, but before she could respond, he kissed her, and kissed her again. her eyes were wide opened, as all her body frizzed, she could only hear the heart beats of two strangers, but she likes it, and her eyes slowly closed, so he kissed her again, she kissed him, and they kissed and yet again, and they liked it. It was not like anything she have experience...

Along This Journey

Our similarities will make us; if we respect our differences The beauty of our difference Let's talk & appreciate our similarities and respect our differences; while we celebrate on the things which we share in common, lets also not hide our differences. As we meet, you and I can make a beautiful difference, if we choose not to spite on our differences, if we allow our uniqueness to play its part on us. We can protect this friendship and make it last and give birth to something beyond beautiful.  The beauty of our individuality is in our fears and courage, in our doubts and trust, in our strengths and weaknesses, in our struggles and comforts, in our boldness and timidity, in our victories and failures, in our experiences and mistakes, and our joy and sadness. We must hold hands together and believe in each other as we held-forward to cross this bridge to the other-side. Our similarities is what bring us together, and our differences tear us apart... we need...

Happy women are the most beautiful women in the World

Miss Jane is one of the the beautiful women in the Worl d "Happy Women are the Most Beautiful women " I am not a feminist. I am a woman who completely buy the idea to encourage and compliment her fellow women. I was burn into a family of many women. I have seven sisters and a mom plus all the plenty aunties (smile) they helped me have a wonderful childhood and are still very supportive, or let's say i'm addicted to the strength of brave women. I thoroughly adore brave, and courageous, supportive, smart, and intelligent women. I love it when a woman can maintain her confidence no matter how she look, what she wears, whom she's with, or where she is, at every moment in time, and would confront issues diplomatically without posing any arrogance or ego to intimidate anyone, but wouldn't fail to make her point. do you have an idea of how sexy it is when a women  carries herself with so much self-respect and dignity, and confidence and a sound attitude...

Because we are made to coexist and live on the support of one another

"Because we are made to coexist and live on the support of one and another" B ut we have created a very small universe in our own minds even though the Universe given to us is so big and extremely beautiful. It doesn't in any way feel good to be rejected or denied something that equally belong to you. We are here together and for each other, the universe belong to us all and we must learn to dwell in harmony and share love and fair justice to every human. Though, every day present different situation and circumstances that makes people feel that they are not accepted or welcome here. "It is one thing to belong and another to be accepted in a group" this is the human group, let's us all do our best to manage this space wisely, to accommodate one another.... don't  allow your heart to hate, do not allow your words to be evil or spiteful. However, for some people they have fought and resisted to a point that they had to give up and start buildin...

Look Deep Within

Look deep within as you wake up in the morning. do not leave your house until you look deep within your soul and find yourself. you cannot not perform at your best if you keep  hiding your true self behind the closet. You need a break from all that voices, telling you that you aren't good enough. you are full of talents, you can develop any skills, you can adopt the best attitude and make it work for you, you can go to places, you can be anywhere and be anything, you will fit-in, in the highest class of fellows, you can fly as high as you did wish to, because you've got an immensely strong wings, you can dance, sing, and do just anything; because, in YOU, rest a magical power; to be and to become everything which your heart can accommodates in harmony. Stop fighting who you are for who you wants to be. You are only fighting it because you do not understand the power of  your inner being. Find you, build a relationship with you. Allow you do be free to explore the World and sat...
