You're doing amazing sweetie !

2020 has really come out to be the year we least expected in somewhat all aspects of our lives. We have lost, we have mourned, we have struggled, and some of us think the worst is yet to come because the year isn’t over yet. We think we can do better; the light at the end of the tunnel is a lot further away than we might have initially perceived.

The increased levels of uncertainty which have been escorted by this year have only added to already existing feelings of anxiety, depression, and added amounts of pressure to pattern everything. The reality of it is, there is still four months left of this year. Which means there is still four months left to pattern what you want to, secure the bag, slide into someone’s dm’s, and bettering yourself in ways you didn’t think you could.

I know a lot of people have said that covid has been a blessing in disguise and the TL has told everyone that you should have done something worthy during lockdown, but we don’t all have the same reality. The revelations of a pandemic have meant different things for everyone; troubles in finance, trouble getting childcare, rent to pay whilst being furloughed, celebrities being outed as paedophiles and a change in regular scheduled programming

As a believer of Christ, I believe that God does not lack; what will be for you, will come to you. The going has gotten tough but don’t be too hard on yourself. God doesn’t align everyone with the same path because we’re not all destined to do the same thing. Some of what is happening to you in this life is part of growing pains which SUCKS but the best is truly yet to come! Just be patient.

You’re doing amazing sweetie!

#BLACKLIVESMATTER

#BLACKLIVESMATTER I feel in the plight of everything that is happening and everything that is yet to happen, it is really highlighting the very, very prevalent ignorance which pollutes the internet. It is not by force to do up twitter fingers for the sake of saying something. It is actually okay to not know the answers; it is okay to educate yourself before saying something. A lot of people do not know Black history like that and do not know why we are fighting so hard for change and that is okay. Having said that, some people have the knowledge, some people are well informed, some people understand the political climate but still choose to be obtuse to what is right in front of them. It is not the oppression Olympics. It is not a matter of one life being of more value than another. It is a simple acknowledgement that #BlackLivesMatter. They always have and they always will. The projection of valuing and acknowledging Black lives has been a concept which has not and is not reflecte...

Violence Against Women.

TW: Rape and Sexual Assault Why don’t people care about women? The safety of women and the wellbeing of women. Nobody cares. Why do people only care when it’s about the length of our skirts, the amount of make-up we’re wearing, whether we’re “asking for it”, or when it’s too late. I’m well aware violence against women and girls has always been very present in society but holy shit man. We can’t walk even in broad daylight without the fear of being followed, harassed, and or sexually assaulted. How many women have to experience trauma, abuse, and heartache before enough is enough. People shouldn’t be trying to inject girls with unknown substances with intention to harm because girls/women are trying to have safe nights by covering their drinks. Unsure if anyone has seen that video of a man following a woman to her apartment in New York and she manages to close and lock the door before he could get in, but he had EIGHTY FUCKING SEVEN priors and was still walking the streets. That’s 13 aw...

With the season of wearing less and going out more fast approaching, I feel it’s important to acknowledge the ever-expanding beauty standard which I personally think does not need to exist. Why are we being held to a ‘standard’ which not even the people who have infiltrated them can meet? Take the Kardashians/Jenners for example. Some would say they’re the ‘blueprint’ (LOOL), or in other words they are what a lot of people aspire to look like. Small waist, slim legs, big butt, flat stomach blah blah blah. However, like many other people in the public eye, the Kardashians/Jenners also do not meet the 'standards' they are now infamous for. Khloe Kardashian released a statement not too long ago about having to be in the public eye and the pressure she has to deal with due to this, and also due to constantly being compared to her sisters and ultimately what that does for her self-esteem. Whilst I can empathise with her on feeling insecure in regard to her body etc, I think cele...
