How to love your partner in their love language

How to love your partner in their love language

Alot of times we get caught up in trying to please ourselves forgetting we are in a partnership, our partner's happiness matters, their wants and desires.
Love is beautiful and unique to every individual, the only way to make it work and be truly happy is to communicate softly, love deeply and selflessly, understand each other.

Sometimes....You are the Problem

Sometimes....You are the Problem

Not to hurt your feelings pumpkin but sometimes you are the villain, you are the one with the issues, either something that was said, the way we responded to it, or simply our actions. On the bright side, it's not so bad, provided you are working on it. Everyday is a day to learn and be better versions of ourselves. Own up to your faults and make amends.

Body count

Body count

Quick summary of last week's episode, i discussed the effect of body count on this episode. Quick question: to our folks who love bdsm does that birth from having a high body count? Plus the effect cuts across both males and female, as a woman i wouldn't want my man comparing me to other women as well, or going around the neighbourhood because he wants to tasts a different soup, neither would i want a man that has several baby mamas, this could also be termed as effects of having a high body count.

Should I do Wifey duties in a Relationship?

Should I do Wifey duties in a Relationship?

Everything said on this episode is for couples that are working towards settling down together, you both are working towards the same thing, in my opinion these things are normal.
Relationships consist of both parties showing up for each other, as a Man also, if you come over for the weekend and the lady is caught up in life, will you show up and help her with things in the house? Or you gonna become a spectator?
Communication and Comprehension matters alot in relationships. I hope we all find our special someone.

On this episode, Sage, Ilo, Judith and I gave our two cents, alot more than two cents on abuse in general. It is not right, its not to be tolerated, your relationship ought to be enjoyed and not endured. If you know someone goin through abuse, talk to them, flee, save yourself. If you know anyone doin the abusing as well, advice them to seek therapy.

Breaking Point

Breaking Point

Alot of us struggle with ourselves, with the world at one point or the other, either tryin to fit in, or trying to be perfect. Depression finds a way to sip in and it's fine, what is not okay is staying that way, communicate what you are going through, find help, find your community, remember how strong you are. You are not alone.

Self Sabotage

Self Sabotage

Wat if it doesn't work....
What if it does?
What if i fail wen i go for the interview?
What if you re hired, What if you re everything they want.

Why do you stop yourself before you even try? Stop lookin down on yourself, stop sayin you can't, stop hurtin yourself. We are so scared of how great we can be if we consciously put our mind and body to it, i have heard people say, we don't deserve anything, only what life gives us,darling you deserve the life you see in the movies and billboards that make your eyes light up, you deserve it. Do not stop yourself from being great. Be your number one fan, you are a god.

Being Real

Being Real

In the world today we can't help but guard up, we can't be vulnerable, there's no room for that because we don't wanna be seen as being weak, or formin something, we wanna be acceptable so we shove our feelings deep down and put on the coat of "New Me". Try to be you, start with a day, you might even catch yourself being happy with who's in the mirror. Be yourself, everyone else is taken - Oscar Wilde

What do you see in the mirror?

What do you see in the mirror?

What you see in the mirror is your reflection, we don't always see our awesomeness or perfection, we tend to look for errors or compare ourselves with people or situations happening around. You have to consciously remind yourself how amazing you are, how far you have come, you might not be perfect, you might have some flaws, change your mindset, you are beautifully flawed, a limited edition, a work in progress, give yourself a tap on the shoulder, boost your confidence, no matter what you may be going through.

It takes tike for good things to come your way, but it does come.

Live your life Kingsize as @fouzi_6 said.
We have one life to live, don't spend it self shaming/sabotaging.
