A Letter to Little Me

Image
 Dear Soft, Bubbly Me, I see you The version of me that loved without holding back smiled without second-guessing and believed that love was always enough You were so bright So full of joy So full of hope And I’m sorry. I’m sorry for the moments you gave your light to people who didn’t know how to hold it For the nights you cried alone wondering what you did wrong when all you ever did was be real You didn’t deserve that confusion  That ache  That silence You didn’t lose  You loved. You gave. And in a world that can be so harsh, that was the bravest thing of all I know you’ve been quiet lately I’ve been protecting you Not because you’re weak,  but because you’re precious. You deserve to show up in spaces that can receive you honor you,  hold you with care And don’t worry,  you’re not gone You’re still here dancing under the surface  waiting for the right moment  the right heart  the right peace  to bloom again You’ll laugh that loud...

Life lately: Resetting, Growing & Finding my Flow

Image
    You know that point when you just want to press a reset button on life, yeah?.. That’s the point I’ve found myself in the past weeks, so this is just me deciding to be intentional about the soft change I’ve been craving. I’m making my first blog post of the year 2025, and I’ll like you to hold me accountable on this journey. Throwback to 2014-2019 when I used to mock my mom for being an introvert, I would say “I’m an extrovert, I like to relate with people”. Which is so funny because now I find it hard to be around people who are not family I find myself craving alone time and not wanting to socialize with anyone  I am now viewing relating with people as a chore. I’m not regretting it or complaining infact I’m happy I finally got to the stage where I don’t require people to be around me…. I find so much peace and comfort in my own company. Even while pressing the reset button, I want to do a lot of things more and some things less  I want to be kinder and conside...

18 Things I Have learnt since I became a legal Adult (part I)

Hello ❤️ Today’s write up might be a little bit personal but I’d like to share…   18 Things I Have learnt since I became a legal Adult (part I) One basic thing I’ve leant would be: “You don’t have to” If “you don’t Want to.” You dont have to be an hypocrite You don’t have to be friends with them if you don’t want to You don’t have to stop doing that thing that makes you happy if you don’t want to  You don’t have to pretend to understand when you don’t  You don’t have to be a people pleaser because, at the end of the day, the people you are struggling to please so much, will live their own lives  Let Everyone Live For Themselves  I realize the more you put effort in pleasing people,the more drained you become and you slowly start to lose yourself Secondly;  You’re not an adult until you learn to “Take Responsibility” Learning to accept your faults,take can’t of your self and also  Thirdly;  Accepting that  “It’s okay to make mistakes” Acknowle...

Is It A Flex To Be Apathetic???

Ciao amigos, Been awhile Didn’t think I was gone did you?  It’s quite dusty in here (coughs) but I’m back  And we are back to be better so expect more uploads 😉. We are back as MACHI’s Corner  Yes,This writer will now be referred to as “Machi’s Corner” Hello and welcome to MACHI’s corner  With no further ado let’s get right into today’s tea 🫖 (sips) Let’s discuss about how everyone now wants to be portrayed as HARD GUY especially the ladies. Which brings us to todays topic/debate IS IT A FLEX TO BE APATHETIC????Alexithymia    Is a condition where someone experiences difficulties in showing emotions. Welcome to our new world where everyone now thinks it is a problem to let people know you care. In my opinion, Caring and showing emotions should not be seen as a weakness but as a strength. What do you mean you don’t want to display an act of kindness to someone you care about (family or friend) just because you don’t want them to think you’re weak. The phras...

A friend so true….

 *coughs* Been a while fam…. Who missed sweet poetry?….. Through the darkest night, when shadows conspire, I'll illuminate your path with beams of fire, In the realm of friendship, so pure and true, A tale unfolds of a friend I once knew, For in your veins, courage flows deep, Like a river of hope, defiance steeped, A fighter's spirit within you thrives, Banishing darkness, as resilience derives. but now, a tempest brews within your soul, Whispering doubts and tempting you to roll, A longing in your eyes, a hunger deep within, A craving to wander where forbidden dreams begin. Is it the allure of adventure unknown, Or the desire to seek what lies beyond, alone? Yet, remember the laughter, the bond we once shared, For true friendship is a treasure so rare. Though the road may tempt with its dazzling charms, Stay steadfast, my friend, within virtue's arms, For pledges made in moments of joy and trust, Should not be forgotten in moments of wanderlust. Remember the memories, lik...

Jealousy

W/@Reniwrites   It all starts from doing better than them... Then comparing yourself to 'em They think you're better So now they're bitter They think you're more popular  Now, their strikes are getting tougher Jealousy... The starting point to envy Jealousy... The beginning of hatred A feeling so toxic... It chokes out the air in you It occupies your thoughts and becomes a burden Make you feel like you're going crazy Because you can't bear the actions of people around you 'cause everything they do isn't fitting your ways Jealousy... A feeling that can't be avoided But should be controlled A feeling that can destroy you Even when your eyes are closed A feeling that has to stopped Before a life is to put to a stop Before you can't control it  Jealousy.... A feeling exhibited by both friends and foe A feeling that could eat you alive A feeling that could cause competition  Competition that'll end your relationship Competition that could end any ...

Inner Voices

 *Inner Voices*   _Ft: Kiekie's corner èt Reniwrites_  Unknown: Knock knock Me: Who's there? Unknown: The inner voices in your head Me: Damn it! Not again What did you come to do again? Remind me that I'm not enough. That I'm not supposed to be in this world? That this world is too perfect for someone like me? Oh! What are you going to tell me? I'm a failure or that I'm not worthy? That I'm just a 'potato' with no use? Oh don't bother I'm used to it  Your words of reproach,  taunts, and scorn Your words that sucks the little hope in me I'm used to it all  Instead of you being a little voice that encourages me  All you do is rub it in my face and cause me to always fall Guess what??! I'm taking control now  I'm blocking out the voices in head  Cos all I see is sadness and tears  Sadness and tears... The result giving them ears  I don't want to be that me anymore I'm tired of the darkness I see  I want to see the light I don...

Writer's View on Secular Music

 Ciao Amigos, (...Coughs..) (Takes Mic) sorry... MUSIC SPEAKS TO THE SOUL.... It's a common knowledge that the music industry has more to it than meets the eye...in essence,Every famous artiste has what's helping to promote their music,they could either do it the Godly way or the Worldly way..... If music speaks to the soul,its a reminder that we have to filter the songs we listen to....innit? Hehehe.... The lyrics of songs matter alot and should be taken to consider because,after listening to a song over and over again,as a normal human being we tend to start humming and reciting the lyrics...don't worry it's an involuntary action hehe... Someone said,  "If only people know how music can change their lifestyle.........how they act, think and so on  You'd notice a friend who's been acting all good and sweet all of a sudden this person starts living like you never knew them from the onset, and mind you person that have this celebrities as die hard fan not on...

Pen Pals

Wagwan besties, Let's go straight to the point shall we? In 2023,acquaintances,Friendships and even relationships have started taken roots online,I.e through the use of social media...It's a great thing to see really.... Social media has improved networking a lot thereby enabling people to reach out to people in countries they've never even been to.... At the same time,It is also rumored that social media friendships seem to be the sweetest until you meet the person in reality....Why? Because,people will only show what they want you to see online and will only let you think of them how they want you to....but when you meet that "perfect" friend in reality,you start to notice their flaws,The way they relate with people,their attitude,e.t.c which completely contradicts the kind of image they've already created of themselves in your mind....ouch... Maybe a penpal is just better off as one..Well.... Nobody is perfect.....That Online Friend of yours is NOT perfect....
