It's my 15 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳

Not 15 years 😳😭 This is most likely my oldest surviving social media/ blogging platform that I actually don’t hate. I lost my original Facebook and Instagram accounts and the love for both apps even before. I remember joining Twitter as far back as 2009 thereabouts then I shut down my first account and started a new one (also 15 years ago) but Twitter/ X is just too stressful for me now.

When I started this blog, I was most likely still in uni though it was my final year. So much has happened since then omg! Right now, I’m a new mother with a one month old 😳 Crazy stuff.

Before now, I would just accept defeat and proceed to do something else- scrolling through social media apps, play Sims or watch a movie/ TV series. Of course, it was way easier to give into all my bad habits and vices then. I would constantly find myself in repetitive cycles of sin, feeling helpless and wondering if I would ever get my…

THINGS TO TAKE:

Your time

A nap

A walk

The compliment

Your energy where it’s valued

Deep breaths

Your power back

Your inner child by the hand

Nothing personally

A chance on yourself

It one day at a time

Up space

Forward Momentum

Perhaps you’ve experienced one of these life-altering moments when: The first instinct is to shut out the world, pull inward, and allow grief and self-pity full reign. Yes, grieving is essential, but there comes a time to let go of what was and look to God for what’s next, because: When we believe God, we […]Forward Momentum

Becoming Mrs. P! (Part 2)

Hey guys! How y’all doing? Great I hope. It’s a brand new week and I’m committed to blogging more this year so I’m back again with the continuation of my wedding stories and content! So after the civil and traditional weddings, I got to rest the next day and then the day after my rest day (the Thursday of that week) was the day of my bridal shower. The main stressor of my day was that the dress…

Becoming Mrs. P!

Happy New Year 💕🥂 I pray 2025 is filled with beautiful things for us all and we get to live out our dreams and achieve our goals this year.
