HENRIQUETTA

"Why am I here?" At some point in our lives, especially in your 20s when you just feel like you would have done better with an identity other than the one you currently have. This might be a bit vague, but I trust the holy spirit to help me convey this message properly. Late last month, I made a friend in church. In the process of becoming very good friends (he could pass off as my manager right now because he takes my blog seriously, more than I even do), we decided to spend time outside church to GIST. Random talk led to the other and I can remember him say "there's a reason I am black (mind you, he's burnt 😁), a Bini man, and in Nigeria. My identity and culture are very important". This Hit! Think about it,  when God was giving you an IDENTITY, he didn't ask for your opinion . Before you're even a Christian, you have an Identity and it is not a coincidence. I'm a woman, brown skin, and Esan (native dialect). These play a huge part in our ...

Hello, my ever-loving virtual readers! It's been a minute and to think I wasn't going to titillate your mind with an article this week!😬  I'm going through a tough phase ya'll, although writing relieves my mind from anxiety, it's all still tough! Back to why we're here... Everyone has life-related topics they are so passionate about, although I personally have a thing or two to say regarding other topics except sports and politics, LOVE and MARRIAGE has always been my strong points. Right from childhood, I've had a strong attraction for this area in my core, I'm passionate about it, so passionate, that thinking about it makes me happy, or sad... like shed a few tears. It's more than me being married or dating because sometimes I just want to skip the whole idea of marriage and children (shhhh... don't tell my mum!). I think it's because it's one of the many things I see through God's eyes (through the spirit), so I've placed huge...

Welcoming regulars and first timers alike! If to say we dey bar like this, I for order rounds ! Thanks for always clicking. Is it just me, or opinions are really very cheap these days? I mean, literally anyone can afford a couple of those right? Today, we would be wrapping our minds around opinions from the onion perspective. E get why .  Hmm! Everyone has definitely seen an onion and you probably have some laying around somewhere in your kitchen at the moment. For a foodie and a cook, onion is a subtle spice, that aroma and flavour never gets old! You're already making weird faces in curiosity (where is she going with this onion thing biko?)... I know! But hear me out. Have you Ever just carried an onion bulb to peel or slice without a meal in view to be prepared? Of course not! That shit it does to the eyes should be worth a freaking tasty and comforting meal. Yeah?! Some years ago, back in the university say... 300lvl,  I had a couple of friends I spent time with. One day,...

Ever blamed your heart wrenching pain (in the context of your love experience) on the fact that you loved too much?? If you have, then take a seat with me because this is our table! The essence of this post is to lift your focus from a lower perspective, to a much higher one. So you can build a much more stable relationship emotionally. There's a popular saying that goes... "If you want to reach for the moon, aim for the stars" we all know the stars are placed higher than the moon right? This post sprung from a sunday sermon, when Pastor spoke casually about his defense mechanism on relative issues that results from being too emotionally attached. He said "... for me I constantly stretch my love for her(his wife) by asking myself, what can she possibly do that would HURT so much?" The essence is to think on a wide range, and then extend your compassion to cover their lapses , so that when it eventually happens, your emotions would have been properly ...

Happy new month to you and yours! ❤ I saw a catchy tweet on twitter today, here it goes... "If February no MARCH, April may" I hope you get the humor in that. Talking about new month and "marching",  I've been doing a bit of reflection on what life really felt like back in the day (childhood experience). Wait, it just occurred to me that I'd have to Tap Ctrl Z like 15times to go back, and it hurts! Who poked my heart?! 🥺          Back story... A couple of weeks ago, my little cousin (say age 19) posted her friend's picture with a baby bum and the Daddy , you know the kind Adesuwa Etomi took too(no offence to baby bums and couples, but they both be looking clueless). Now my little cousin disappoints me when it comes to mental work and good diction, thank God efforts to make better her mediocrity is currently seeing better days. I'm giving this much details because I'm hoping you would see the depths of the friend's picture I'm trying to ...
