FRIENDSHIP DEFINED





On July 13th i wrote a piece titled "i will give me a flower too when i am not okay". On the piece i explain moments that taught me i cannot be present for everyone while absent for me, simply because we need to be giving what we possess. I am learning that to be a good friend to others you must understand what that means from being that to yourself every time, all the times. Life, seasons and situations are a practical class providing me an opportunity to keep on trying. The class bring different experiences each day, what makes being part of the space beautiful is patience and kindness are the authenticity. Its a love process, mindful or not everything done in love it is done right, not perfect but right.
 
This morning i was reflecting on the qualities of a good friendship. The first question that came to mind was "are you always there for yourself, all the times"? Presence plays a huge role, especially when there is necessity, when it matters the most. Good friendships are founded on love and patience is the virtue. I was drawn to the Kind of friendship with God, there is endless love, kindness and patience, even when things are ugly. 
 
2 Timothy 3:16 says " the word is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong". This is my relationship with the Lord, its strongly held on the truth and sometimes the truth is heavy when i am wrong, unfair or disobedient. But every time He corrects me He does it with love and kindness. Because of the nature of our relationship, i can listen and trust His correction. He celebrates every good thing with me, on ugly moments He sticks around holding my hand.

Daddy teaches me how to be a good, loving, kind friend to me, then others in my life. I will always be a learner and that's enough for me because i always need my teacher. This is friendship defined!

This is IT right here 🪄✨

  December last year.  I love her 😍  I was going through hell and back here. Guys, 2024 needs to be erased from the history of years—no ways! But I still tried to do the things that felt true to me, like being creative with my wardrobe. :) Now, I am the happiest. I am as happy as a toddler learning things for the first time. I am as happy as a young adult who’s realizing things her younger self always dreamt of. I last felt this alive before my teens—before my diagnosis with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis. I am so very much at peace; feeling strong has become the cornerstone of my inner serenity. If this was the only gift I had to receive from God, I wouldn’t dare ask for anything else. Or think of trading it for anything later down the line. This is IT right here!!! I am sooooo happy—said a girl who suffered joint pain, swelling, stiffness, redness, warmth around the joints, fatigue, fever, rash, loss of appetite, weight loss, limping, decreased range of motion, eye prob...

An alignment conversation 🥰😌

Sometimes, the best way to discover what you truly love is to look back at your younger self. Before the influence of society, teachings, and expectations shaped your perspective, your younger self knew the raw, honest truth about your passions. Reconnecting with that inner voice can reveal what genuinely sparks joy and purpose inside you—beyond all the noise and external opinions. In this blog, I’ll share how who I am passionate about now is deeply connected to that authentic, childlike clarity, in the form of a prayer rooted in assurance and hope for what seemed like a far future then. One thing about this guy — he’s fulfilled every genuine, unselfish request I ever made to God about adult love. When I was 11, I prayed for a life partner, a best friend really, trusting that when the time was right and I was older and ready, I’d find someone special. Now, being with you feels exactly like what I imagined during those prayers — like I’m exactly where I’m meant to be, living out the bes...

Am not running out of time

Looking back at my life, I realise I’ve always started early. I began Grade 1 at the age of 5, started university at 17, and bought my first property at 23. I enjoyed the fact that people noticed I was the youngest in class, and I worked hard to be among the top 10 students at school. This drive really began when I chose my subjects and followed my commitment to excelling or should I say, slaying in life. In June 2024, I made the brave decision to leave my job because I chose myself and my health over demanding work. My career requires me to constantly pour into others, and most of the time I had to fake being well and energetic, even on days when I was crumbling inside. I remember one day vividly: I had just returned from external moderation, exhausted, with a badly swollen eye from allergies my eye was barely open. Yet, I still went straight into a parents’ meeting at 16:00, showing up as if nothing was wrong, despite the obvious. That’s who I’ve been all my life: pushing through, be...
