Identity

-

 

Identity is complex, fluid, and often shaped by context, perception, and even the expectations of others. The struggle to define yourself in a way that feels whole yet adaptable is something many people experience. I am an employee,  daughter,  friend, sibling, auntie, mother, girl, woman, lady, counsellor etc all these are identities and none of them cancel the others out. Society loves😍 boxes, but you don’t have to live in them. When others react oddly, it might be because they are uncomfortable with fluidity or they might be testing power dynamics. When overwhelmed, ground yourself in a core truth in a statement like "I’m a work in progress and that’s okay." I try to remember that i don’t owe anyone a perfect 😊label. The confusion i feel is proof that I am multidimensional.

Boundaries

  We all have that person the one who’s full of big ideas, infectious energy, and good intentions yet leaves you guarding your peace. For me, it’s a really well-meaning relative. H e dreams boldly, jumps from venture to venture, and genuinely wants me to thrive. But over time, I’ve noticed the cracks: the half-truths, the blurred lines, the quiet tension when I don’t protect what’s mine. He isn’t malicious. But trust isn’t just about intent it’s about consistency. And when small lies slip in or boundaries flex too far, self-preservation kicks in. I’ve learned: first of all g ood people can still drain you , Love them, but don’t loan them your peace. Secondly, n o is a complete sentence , Boundaries aren’t cruel they’re survival , finally I w atch feet, not lips i f actions don’t match words, I believe the actions. I still value him. But I no longer confuse loyalty with unlimited access. Some dances require space and that’s okay.

Courage to Invest in myself

-
  For a while now, owning my home has been a cornerstone of my financial independence goals a tangible milestone on my path to freedom. And now, here I am, on the verge of turning that dream into reality. Yet, despite all the planning and saving, I’ll admit: Taking the leap feels scary. But you know what? I’m choosing to celebrate that fear because it means I care deeply about my future. Money isn’t just numbers to me; it represents security, hard work, and the power of choice. So, of course, spending a significant amount (even for something as meaningful as a home) can feel like stepping off a ledge. That resistance? It’s not weakness it’s proof that I’m thoughtful, intentional, and respect the value of what I’ve built. Instead of letting hesitation hold me back, I’m re framing this project as the ultimate act of self-trust. This isn’t just spending it’s investing. Unlike fleeting purchases, a home grows in value over time, both financially and emotionally. Whenever...

Evolution

  So last week was quite interesting, impromptu meetings, busy work schedules and a lot and i mean alot of flexibility. Between being given an assignment, being told the assignment was changed last minute, preparing to appraise the meeting on the same updates only for the role to be taken away on the final second. I watched a room full of executives call an intern to switch on a smart TV and i realized we really need to get updated on new technology but whose responsibility is it , the IT department or the beneficiaries. This was hurting to watch. The poor gentleman had to sit through the meeting just waiting to increase the resolution on the screen and hide excel columns and the executives were on a busy schedule but had to wait and postpone other duties to wait for this help. I had a great time going for my work out sessions. I am glad the rainy season is here. The air seems more fresh , the grass is greener and the flowers at a point just seem to be showing off how...
