He Can Get it Two

Thought it was time for an update on the He Can Get It post... and so here goes: I had talked about the repulsion effect in that post... and had been thinking heavily about it. About how we tend to love the people that hate and hurt us or the ones we would never have a chance with. You know, the guys that make plans with you and you go all out to get ready. The perfect outfit, face beat, hair did and smelling good and then *ring-ring* he can't make it, all or most times but because you're so into him you keep putting up with it. Or the guys we're willing to lay it all for because we think we've found "the one" but he cheats and betrays your trust more than you know but when you find out, you forgive him because you love him. Then there's the guy that has you feeling all kinds of good. The almost perfect guy that knows just what to say to get you hooked and high on him. He's fun and exciting.... and in a relationship. You know you shouldn't ...

Woman Crush

Hello :) Last week I spoke to someone I wish I had spoken to so much earlier. She's like my soul mate in a way. Lol yes that serious. We clicked at first text. It felt so good and refreshing to talk to someone who shares my thoughts and views on a lot of things. She's focused and driven, smart, well spoken, huge ambitions and passionate about a lot of things. She wants to do things, make things happen, and has set such high standards for herself. She's beautiful and dresses well too. [If you're reading this, yes it's totally you Tinashe :)] It made me so happy. knowing there are other females just like this gives me such a high. DISCLAIMER: I am no female activist. Just a female who loves to see fellow females doing great and amazing things. Now here in Africa, there's the idea that a girl child finally getting married is her greatest accomplishment. There's even a checklist: □ Primary education □ Secondary education □ Tertiary education □ Mar...

Death's Selective Mourners

Hey y'all.... so yesterday the 4th of April there was a bus accident in which it is reported about 6 people died. Tragic. Especially for the families of the deceased. But... all over social media I only kept seeing condolences to one family. The one whose daughter was a bride to be. Of course absolutely nothing wrong with issuing out condolences. Only problem is this tendency to only feel remorse for and talk about the "celebrity". I'll explain. If there are 2 or 3 people in a vehicle and of those people one of them happens to be a famous person and then an accident occurs, the only person or person's family that will receive tons of love, remorse and have posts of condolences sent their way is that of the famous person. And this really bothers me because do the lives of the other victims not matter and go unnoticed because they were unknowns? No. Every life matters and cannot be measured or valued by one's level of popularity or wealth. So back to yes...
