My 27 Lessons at 27

I turned 27! and I’m back home after 4 years so I got to celebrate with my family. This year I decided to write about the lessons I’ve learnt so far. It took me about 15 minutes to get these together, and I thought I should share. 😌

1. When you ask the universe for something, please do not accept mediocre.

2. Set boundaries, people treat you how you allow them to.

3. How you speak to/about yourself is very important and really matters.

4. Do not wait to be at your lowest to identify the solid pillars(people) in your life. 

5. Quality over quantity 

6. Be intentional with everything you do 

7. Categorising Natural plants as illegal drugs is BS 🤷🏽‍♀️ 

8. Do not stress over things you can’t change/ control

9. Don’t be a sheep, the world is a social construct, live by your truth

10. Spirituality over religion.

11. Some people may not understand your opinion and that’s okay. There is beauty in diversity. 

12. Never judge a book by the cover, be kind and respectful to everyone. 

13. The term friend and the meaning of friendship is used too loosely 

14. Sshhh 🤫 allow people to enjoy things they enjoy doing! Eg post on social media, no one is forcing you to do it too! keep your criticism to yourself 🙄

15. In fitness- Discipline and Consistency is KEY

16. Never say the words “I Love You” if you don’t mean them

17. Learn to accept things for the reality of what they are and not what they could be

18. Your happiness is not dependent on others, if you are broken.. take your time to heal instead of projecting your traumas to others 

19. You don’t have to respond/react to everything sometimes silence is an enough response/reaction and sometimes you just need to listen! 

20. Learn to say “No” when you want to

21. Our experiences build our character 

22. Travel and see the world from your eyes

23. No one is perfect so recognise your flaws n consciously change what you would like to.

24. Don’t wait to learn from your own mistakes, learn from other people’s mistakes too

25. Show me who your friends are and I will tell you who you are is a concept that is dead to me🤷🏽‍♀️

26. The concept Opposites attract doesn’t apply in a romantic relationship. 

27. Manifest! manifest! manifest! Do the work and the universe will listen.


 How do you feel about birthdays? Do you like to celebrate? How do you like to celebrate?

Show me who your friends are and I'll tell you who you are Is dead to me

The world we live in right now is very socially constructed and the phrase “Show me who your friends are and I'll tell you who you” is very popular in every society. I have believed this phrase to be true for a very long time. This is until I interacted with different people from different societies, beliefs and of different religion.  The environment we grow in really shapes the kind of people we become. The way of life our societies are accustomed to shapes the people we become. Even the families we grow up in shape who we are. Do not get me wrong... the phrase has a lot of truth to it especially if its easy for you to fall victim of peer pressure for example becoming a thief or drug user if you hang around such characters.  But the basis of this writing is based off of human understanding. I feel that it’s important to understand people individually because each person has a story of what makes them who they are.  If you remain conscious to human understanding the...

STILL I STAND

"I was sexually assaulted!" How do i even say it to my parents and mates? How do i start the conversation? Yes i was drunk.. Will they understand? I only had one glass of vodka diluted with sprite Was i drugged? What did the culprit add in my drink? You were my friend, of course you can stay over We were both drunk anyway.. but you were conscious I trusted you to get me home safe Do you even realize what you did? To be honest, i myself just recently discovered that it was assault (years later) Why did i let it happen? Was it my fault? I carry the hurt, shame and a secret that is soo hard to tell I forgave you and still kept you as a friend Our society is not open to such conversations, so how do i hold a grudge when YOU don't know any better? Dear African girl, i am sorry you have to endure and carry some burdens alone. How soon will this conversations begin? Will the generation of my time atleast educate their children?
