IRL GARDEN FAIRY 🌱💓 @siedisstuff - Tumblr Blog

Okay, that euphoria finale moved me, but I hope Sam Levinson stays unemployed from here on out.

Today I am in praise of journaling, and the aspect of documentation it provides - because eight months later I can come across a line like this;

I am weary of feeling this tired - I have so much to offer. I am contemplating a nap - but isn't it a little embarrassing to be 22, self-employed (barely) and taking a nap in my childhood (bed)room at 3:29 in the afternoon?

💗 Sage Wisdom Gathered over Eight Months - Girl, take that nap, it's okay. Your perception of yourself is central.

Today I give praise for visualisation.

The picture above is my vision board for the year 2026. I really appreciate that I have a chance to collect all these pictures that show things I desire, make a collage out of them and then set it somewhere, to look at as a reminder of what I am working toward, what I want to achieve. I love that it can serve as a tool to fuel me, remind me, or set me back on the right path.

I included yoga, movement, reading, watching films/music, listening to music, learning, working, nurturing my plants, being a student of the ukulele, and receiving and stewarding financial blessings.

I read some of The Secret last year and learnt about the importance of visualisation - the importance of visualising your higher self, her life, in stark detail. As I write this I am having some trouble there but at least I know of it, and can nurture it through whatever rut this is.

I visualise a big life, full of deep grounding of who I really am and what I really want.

Today I praise self-love; what a concept.

I think that the concept of self-love dawning on me saved my life in so many ways. I was able to reclaim it, making it mine again, and now journey through the process of restoring what was lost in self-loathing, self-distrust, self-doubt and centering other people experiences/perspectives over my own.

I am all I am ever going to have and I am with myself in every moment of my life. Why then would I spend so much time at war with myself? Why would I live life in comparison to others? Why would I live only for the gaze of other people?

Building a friendship and relationship with myself has been such a beautiful and warm experience. I seek to continue knowing, respecting, admiring and cheering myself on.

From Beyonce's Break My Soul - "We go round in circles, round in circles searching for love. We go up and down, lost and found searching for love - Looking for something that lives inside me."

I truly am the love of my own life, and have found I can love people cleaner and in deeper truth from this centre/foundation.

I have named this space perpetual.praise. For context, my first name is Sifa, swahili for praise. I believe that my parents named me based on their religious affiliation. I have learnt however, living life and looking at it like the magical experience it truly is, there is so much to sit before in praise. There is magic everywhere - and my intention with this is to be present enough to see.

I hope that this remains a solitary space, an archive of sorts. I don't intend to pressure myself to post, rather, document when something truly moves me. I don't follow any account, and won't accept any follow requests. I also will not use it to scroll - just post, let go and then come back when needed - to read, look, remember, and be inspired.

Just like the post says, the beauty seen in anything is a reflection of the beauty in me. I truly believe that, and the more beautiful the world is, I believe the more present and grounded I am in this earthly realm.

I intend to post anything I come across that inspires me and give credit where it's due. The profile picture is meant to be my favourite colour at any given time.

I love this experience and all the beauty it comes with. Endless gratitude, Perpetual Praise. <3

Another day, Another beautiful picture I need to delete

I love this picture but I need to delete it.

So let me immortalize it here.

Nairobi can be so beautiful ; )

All the Pinterest pictures were screenshots on my phone that I don't want to lose. It's a bit excessive and doesn't look too good but a girl will do what she has to do.
