Sunday Echo: All the way before screens

Shut out the noise. Take it back to a time before screens, before TikTok, before Instagram, before a feed that feeds envy rather than life. Live in the present. Feel the wind on your skin, notice the small movements around you, and soak in the colors of the world. Engage with nature, do the things you love, and let time pass gently as you invest in what genuinely satisfies your soul. Seek knowledge about your passions, and believe this moment is the best time because it is the place where your unique gifts can grow. Remember that lack of knowledge can dull a people’s purpose; pursue wisdom, and let that wisdom transform your actions. When you feel pulled toward self-destruction or despair, choose a path of hope, mentorship, and constructive discipline. Spend time in the right way: in prayer, in study, in meaningful relationships, and in activitites that honors God's design for your life.

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 best ...

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...

Midweek Me-Time✨😃

During my first year, I was too broke to indulge much, so this phenomenon really took shape in my second year. There was this chocolate chip cookie I used to buy from Treats store 🏬 on campus, paired with rum and raisin ice cream. I was living my best life! Those were the good old days when I rewarded myself for studying. Now, I plan to adopt a reward system for working out, submitting assignments, and completing exams. For work, I think I’ll create a midweek wellness date to celebrate reaching the middle of the week and to encourage myself to finish the week feeling happier and more courageous. When i start working again, of course. I am feeling excited to be where my feet are, to truly live.
