"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...

SOLO DATES: NURTURING MY SOUL AND EMBRACING LIFE

 Life has a way of throwing us into a whirlwind of responsibilities, stress and never ending to do lists. It is easy to feel overwhelmed  and lost in the chaos. But guess what? I have discovered a secret escape, a little slice of heaven that i gift myself- my solo dates. Imagine this: a world buzzing with hurried footsteps, blaring horns and in the midst of it all, theres me, seeking solace in the simple joy of a solo date. It has become my go-to remedy when life's pressures start weighing me down. And let me tell you, it works like magic. So, what exactly do I do on these solo dates? I have no specific restaurant to retreat to, but I am more drawn to cafés, the cozy types to be specific. It is the way the aroma of freshly brewed coffee wraps around me like a warm hug on a chilly day. My order is always the same, a hot/ice vanilla latte. Yes, I don't compromise on the food, ever. Anything with jalapeños and spice. Armed with a novel that's been calling my name, I find my co...

Finding happiness, Progress and Weight gain journey.

  Thinking back to 2014, memories of living free and being completely happy come back to mind. It was a year of many open doors and opportunities. Four years later I could barely enjoy doing anything as school had managed to take the life out of me. Nevertheless, being home has allowed me time to reflect and honestly find happiness within. Part of this journey meant that I had to start putting effort and more time into the things I loved. I.e writing.  Many a times we forget how blessed we are. If you and I have a talent why not use it for the greater good and share it with others? It could have a positive impact on them. I found the will to motivate myself to start writing again. Writing because I enjoy it and I thought my thoughts were worthy to be read by another. So week after week, I put in progress. Not only in writing but also coming up with new ideas of how I can reach a bigger audience. And hoping that my will to write never dies.  Progress may be slow but good t...
