"DOES NEW YEAR, NEW ME" REALLY MAKE SENSE?



HEEEEEY MY WISDOM NUGGET LOVERS!!! (Such a long title.. I'll work on it,lol)

 My God I've missed y'all!!!I know it's been a minute, but I'm back *insert happy dance*

 For starters HAPPY NEW YEAR PEOPLE!!! We are so blessed to have the opportunity to see the new year. I am so sure there is so much in store for us this 2k18.... I can't wait to see all of us Cardi b type winning!!! lol
I am too excited! PS: I'm the one fainting😂😂

 I know we have been seeing so many of these "New Year ... New Me" posts all over the place. Some of y'all are like 👇👇


Hold up! Hold up! Haha... Don't get your panties in a bunch! Let people be.
I know we had set out to meet certain goals last year. Unfortunately, we may not have met some or most of them. However, doesn't the new year fill us with hope and expectancy of achieving them and much more?

But my question to you is, "Does New Year, New Me" make any sense?
Did you all of a sudden become a whole other person or acquired a new glistening personality when the clock hit 12:00 or what? is the question so many ask, because let's be honest that isn't realistic.

A fresh start is something so many want (Alas! some are too afraid to go for it while others do not even have the slightest idea on how to go about it) and the new year gives the perfect platform. In my opinion, every New Year offers a clean slate for us to kick start some new goals, reestablish ourselves and hopefully even re-introduce ourselves to the world as these changed people. And just like everything else, its not about lip service (Most of us are really good at this), its about putting in the work and committing to change. Nonetheless, I don't think the new year means you need to change every bit about yourself. 'New year... New me' is somewhat an insult to all the growth you made last year and all your past struggles and accomplishments. We need to flaunt those bad boys like a medal; we earned those!

More often than not, we are of the habit of picking the Stereotypical Resolutions instead of picking those that are more important to us individually. It is no surprise that by mid Feb someone is back to their old habits because the resolutions didn't really resonate with them on a more personal level as they should have. Shouldn't we pick resolutions we believe we want to achieve personally no matter how hard it becomes and those that challenge us like we never imagined? Isn't that how we grow?

On a related note, for those on the 'new year... new me' bandwagon, did you get a personality adjustment? Oh, so you are all new err'ythang huh? But are you wiser boo? Or will you still end up making the same old mistakes you made last year? Instead of ' New Year.. New Me' I feel like 'New Year.. Wiser Me' is more fitting. I know it doesn't have the same ring to it but its more realistic, so my fine-trying-to-be-wise self is running with it! Or rather cat walking the hell out of it, haha!

Dexter Mayfield is giving me life!!!!

It is my prayer that the new year is good to all of us. Let's dare to do things we would have otherwise been caught dead doing last year (especially if they presented a platform for growth). Let's wake up every morning with the mentality of wanting to change and better ourselves. Let's insert love in all that we do and all that we are this New Year! Blessed Year Loves 💘


New Year, Wiser Me💋

    "More often than not, we're of the habit of picking up the stereotypical resolutions...."

    That's deep, but sadly true.

    A gorgeous piece to kick-start a new year.

    Happy New-year:)

GENDER BASED VIOLENCE; STILL A HUGE THORN IN KENYA'S FLESH

Hey Wisdom Nugget Lovers, Gender based violence encompasses quite a few subtopics i.e  physical assault, verbal abuse, domestic conflicts, defilement, sexual assault and forced marriages. Violence against women and girls knows no race, age, class or culture. It has been happening since time immemorial, some based on stupid ideologies and cultural beliefs among other reasons. It occurs in homes, schools, places of work and entertainment just to name a few .  Domestic violence is defined as   "the willful intimidation, physical assault, battery, sexual assault, and/or other abusive behavior as part of a systematic pattern and control perpetrated by one intimate partner against another. it includes physical violence, physiological violence, and emotional abuse" Just last month we heard about the story of Lucy Njambi who is a victim of Domestic Violence based on her story. Her husband, former Kiambu MCA, who was in the company of unidentifie...

HOW HONEST IS TOO HONEST?🤔🤔🤔

Is  there something like too honest??? Or is it just something people came up with to protect their egos from reality? Honesty: A virtue so few have yet everyone claims to have it; A trait so many want to portray and act like they can handle it, yet are not emotionally positioned to take it from someone else; A trait that may often come out as rude and bruising yet the intention was pure Don't you just hate it when someone says, "chills for who?" yet for starters, you had no intention for the statement to come off so blunt even though you approve the message.. or is it just me? I feel like it takes away from the true intention of the message. Even though it may be trivial. Late last year I was invited to a surprise birthday party. Everything was going pretty well. Our hommie Omosh had whipped up some fire food.  Good music was playing. The surprise aspect didn't fail(Thank you God!). So it was time to cut the cake. We are all around the dinn...

THE PROCESS

Hello Hello.. (insert coasterian accent, hehe! Mpaka the hand movement that goes with it. I know a mental pic just registered! Objective Achieved😋) Hope I had you at hello too😉😉😉 So, how you been? Tell me life is good with a little bumps on the road but you've got this? And if not, are you seeking help? Had you achieved your goals for the 3rd quarter of the year? Have you set other goals for the last quarter? What mental space are you in this last quarter? (The comment section is there for all the responses you want to give... I'd be happy to read your responses) I'll start us off, just to get you a little comfy. Q: How you been? A: I've been quite fine to be honest. Distracted but good. Q: Tell me life is good with a little bumps on the road but you've got this? And if not, are you seeking help? A: What is life without speed bumps? So, despite the curve balls, I got a little bruised on the journey but I KNOW I've got this. Q: Had yo...
