Body – 23.03.2024

I’m chilling. In zones, my layers lay open. I’m free as a crow on any given day. The vibe is Afro Lofi, the moment is these words, the priority is mental health, and rest is at the top. Today is my day, and I will do whatever I choose to. I see my body daily;Continue reading “Body – 23.03.2024”

Indeed, you can NOT choose your family,Continue reading “Fat Fridays: Dear Abuser(s) – 22.03.2024”

Fat Fridays: Back to Basics – 20.01.2023

Fat Fridays: Back to Basics – 20.01.2023 I have been away for a while; when I say away, I mean operating offline. I felt it would help with my mind frame, hiding from toxic Twitter and telling tales via TikTok. However, there is something inside me that craves understanding and appreciation.      Often, I feelContinue reading “Fat Fridays: Back to Basics – 20.01.2023”

Fat Fridays: Colouring, Counselling and Conclusions – 06.05.2022

I have been struggling with my mental health over the last few months, and recently, it has become even more challenging lately. Things that were once grey in my life have now started to form colours, and if I’m candid about it, these memories are hard to process or even accept.      ‘I’m not sureContinue reading “Fat Fridays: Colouring, Counselling and Conclusions – 06.05.2022”

Fat Fridays: Realignment with my Core Values and Purpose in life – 08.04.2022

Right before the end of the festive period for 2021, I fell out with a family member, which caused an awful start to 2022. As a result, I felt low and lacked the motivation to do anything. It is astonishing how one person can cause so much pain, upset and discord in my life. ThisContinue reading “Fat Fridays: Realignment with my Core Values and Purpose in life – 08.04.2022”

Welcome February 01.02.2022

Welcome to February, a month of love – in the form of thy self! January was a hard month for me to endure; towards the end of the month, I started to climb out of the well and find myself again.

Fat Fridays: But It’s Too Cold Outside – 07.01.2022

All week I’ve opted to use public transport to travel to work. Because I feel the icy wind on my face, I talk myself out of walking. While writing this post, I recognise it is a silly excuse. The festive period, blended with this ongoing pandemic, led me to spend most of my time indoors.Continue reading “Fat Fridays: But It’s Too Cold Outside – 07.01.2022”

Fat Fridays: What Fatso Heard? – 24.12.2021

What Fatso Heard? I’m not a ‘fan’ or a ‘traditional follower’ of Christmas! However, it is important to help those who are less fortunate than yourself. This help does not have to be financial; handing them cash into their hands. It could be signposting them to professional/charitable organisations or vice Versa. My point is thatContinue reading “Fat Fridays: What Fatso Heard? – 24.12.2021”

Welcome December 2021

Today is the 1st of December 2021 – A year that will end 30 days from today. November was a difficult month for me, as I aim to complete so much in very little time.

Welcome, September 2021

Welcome, September 2021! The month of August was a period filled with gains and losses. I struggle with the thought that I haven’t accomplished all I set out to during that month and I know, that’s an area of my life that I’m working on. The positives are that I learned how to lose weightContinue reading “Welcome, September 2021”

Welcome August

Welcome to August I battled with portion control throughout July – I couldn’t quite master the right amount to eat! I’ll admit, I was greedy. Fully aware that I was eating far too much. Even the food I prepared myself was devouring too much of it. I mean, I love potatoes, and during menstruation, IContinue reading “Welcome August”
