"AFTER" BOOK SERIES : MY THOUGHTS


Have you ever read a book series so good you ended up missing meals and doing yoga just to comprehend what you just read? Well, that was me the first two times I read the ‘After’ book series by Anna Todd. I am currently reading them for the third time.


I first watched the movie and LITERALLY fell in love. Reading the novels changed my life. In the novels, the author brings to life a relationship based on two young people dealing with all sorts of demons of their own and exploring love. The relationship was toxic and we saw some drug use here and there. She literally touched base on what some of us go through. Making it so much more relatable.


Despite the ups and downs of life, the author was able to show that change is inevitable. When I say these novels changed me, I mean they made me look at life and relationships from a different perspective. I think we should all want so much for ourselves in life before we want it for other people.  I want to live a life that doesn’t solemnly depend on other people for my happiness. In addition, I want to be independent to make my own decisions based on what’s good for me first before considering others. And to learn to forgive and forget the past. 


Consequently, the  novels literally had me sleeping passed 11pm gasping, laughing, crying and falling in love. It made me feel a lot of other things too, honestly. If you have ever watched something or read something and you did not feel a thing then you watched/read the wrong thing.


Nonetheless, I would still want my heart to be broken by ‘Hardin’ any day. Lmao. His character was well developed. It definitely takes a lot to grow and change. In short, Anna Todd is an author to watch out for. And her book could make a good Christmas gift, just saying.


HERE IS TO MORE COFFEE TALKS.

INCITEMENT

I have rewritten this three times and I could not think of better people to write about other than my family members. Their goals and attributes have added to my upbringing one way or another. And I chose these specifically because I love them unconditionally. Mr dad : if he could still tuck up into bed and tell us bed time stories he would. He is full of stories and is ever making people laugh. He makes everyone comfortable from the word go. He literally never sees any bad in any person. A good listener too. Mrs Mum : has always taught us that we are good enough and should go after whatever we believe in. Her childhood stories never end. Always cooking. And always optimistic.  Boo : was once my best friend but decided to get married, breaking my heart in two. Knows how to have fun without a worry. Someone you can tell your problems to.  Sister sister : my duplicate. ready to exchange birth certificates because I really do believe I was suppose to be the last born. The only hu...

"HERE'S TO STRONG WOMEN: MAY WE KNOW THEM, MAY WE BE THEM, MAY WE RAISE THEM"

International Women's Day is celebrated every March 8th, a moment taken to celebrate women's achievements in every field and used as a day to acknowledge the journey toward equality. Growing into an international movement with the spotlight of issues of education, equal pay and leadership. Women have bridged gaps in arts, politics, sports, science and business. With inspiration drawn from the likes of Serena Willians, Maya Angelou and Rosa Parks. Not forgetting mothers, healthcare workers, teachers, activists and entrepreneurs in charge of shaping our day to day lives. However, challenges persist. Issues run roots deep in discrimination, gender based violence, education and wage gaps. We all have a role to play to bridge the existing gaps. This can be done by advocating for change in workplaces and communities, supporting organisations which support women, educating ourselves and the masses by highlighting the many struggles faced by women, supporting women based businesses and...

DRESS TO IMPRESS

  There is an unexplainable sense of happiness and self-assurance that comes when we know we are dressed in an outfit that we absolutely love. It is not about waiting for compliments from others; it is about finding the confidence within ourselves to walk with our heads held high, radiating positivity and contentment. Feeling great in what we wear can have a remarkable impact on our overall attitude and mindset. When we dress in an outfit that resonates with our personal style, we celebrate our individuality. It is not about conforming to societal norms but embracing the unique aspects of our personality. Whether it is a bohemian inspired dress, a tailored suit or a quirky ensemble, being true to ourselves brings a genuine smile to our faces. This self-expression becomes a reflection of who we are, reminding us that we are worthy of feeling undeniably confident just as we are.  Have you noticed how wearing an outfit you adore can be an instant confidence booster? It is lies de...
