CHANGING TIMES


I had a serious case of nostalgia and went back to read my previous blog posts. In hindsight I was subconsciously looking for what motivated me to write them and trying to understand why I couldn’t write anything to save my life lately.
Haha! so relatable

 What I found out was pretty interesting... the blog actually gave me purpose, week after week, when I really didn’t have much going for me at the time. 

 If nothing else I knew for a fact my gifs and awkward stories would get someone laughing their a* off (parental advisory, lol). Or my moments of vulnerability would help someone understand that they weren’t alone in any way, shape or form; and it just took one voice to make them more secure in their situations or themselves. 

 So ... what was so different now though?

 I feel like sometimes life takes over slowly but surely especially when we let it. My lovely current boss found me with a novel at work and told me how she used to read them a lot before her cute boys came along. Life took over because of her bundles of joy. I will currently peg my lack of regular (if any) blog posts on: 

 a) I was job hunting so my head wasn’t in the game
b) After being blessed with work, apparently life took over. 

 Were we making excuses or were these genuine reasons? For her, it seems genuine. For me though, well, not so much unfortunately. 

 Can you smell that?
Okay! Okay! Enough with the judgy eyes😂😂 FOR ME NOT AT ALL🤦🏽‍♀🤦🏽‍♀🤦🏽‍♀

 So what’s the real reason?

 Honestly, i'm still working on figuring that out .😭😭😭

 Have you been feeling like you’ve put something that you really enjoyed doing on pause for longer than you anticipated? What was the reason behind it? Was it genuine or an excuse for a much deeper reason? Are you planning on getting back to it? What timeline are you working with or are you on a "when I feel like it” basis?

 Well, I hope I’ve given you something to think about before my next blog post coz I’M BACK BABY!!!💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼
I'm excited too Patrick!!! I really am!💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼

Look out for more awkward stories that have really interesting realizations plus bomb gifs! They make everything better 😉

 I hope to see you all on the next post. 
Spread love and light, 
Njeri❤

DEAR NJERI: LETTER TO MY YOUNGER SELF

Hey baby girl! So, a couple of days ago, a dear friend of ours sent us a blog post by Biko Zulu titled  Letter To My 20-Year Old Self    and I thought it would be awesome to share with you some of the life gems I have picked up over the years. On the real,you will make tons and tons of mistakes, some so stupid, some understandable, some due to arrogance, some due to pride, some just to make a point, smh . Unfortunately there are some of which you will foolishly not learn from the first time, but when your thick skull does choose to learn, the lessons you shall acquire from the same will help you navigate through life easier and from a wiser perspective! 'Never a failure, always a lesson,' said Rihanna (Groupie Alert!!!😻😻😻 She'll release some bomb music... Just you wait, hehe!) Njeri, over the years you always wanted to be everyone's rainbow when it rained hailstones in their lives.. You always wanted to be the understanding one and the one with all the s...

LOSING YOUR SENSE OF SELF.

Has something so devastating happened to you or someone close to you and you saw how everything changed for them! Pain and trauma have a way of changing people and how they view life. Some people get knocked down by the sudden life changing event and dust themselves up and fight through it.... Others have the hardest time getting past it but once they do,they come out a different person... others barely make it out! Some people really start to find their identify in the pain and the hurt that they don't remember who they were before it all. The pain is their familiar place. As a means to suppress all the internal war they are experiencing, some turn to alcohol, drugs, cutting themselves, self medicating.... These are things we see around us all the time. We just don't really know how much someone is going through and as per usual we are always so quick to judge. You know I'm right! This year alone,I feel like I have gotten the opportunity to meet pretty i...

ON THAT PETTY WAP!

Pettiness: an act recently so celebrated even with its social unacceptability! An act that displays sheer immaturity aimed at garnering attention and pity from those around us whilst fully equipped with a justification as a means to excuse ourselves for being held accountable for bad behavior!  What I mean by pettiness is, a focus on issues so small and trivial that it's almost silly; especially in a narrow-minded way. It can only be used to describe the quality of a person that's also called "small-minded." I have fallen prey to this oh so embarrassing act one too many times, so I am an expert on the same (Trust me... 😂😂😂) and I think it’s time someone really said how wrong it is instead of letting social media trick us into thinking it’s something to celebrate and even make merchandise on! (Sigh!)  Pettiness is neither cute nor admirable people!!! So......a couple of years ago, I wait...
