Hated my nose when I was much younger cause I used Hated my nose when I was much younger cause I used to get teased that it was big, then my dad told me to tell them that “it’s just like my daddy’s nose”. If you see my nose, you’ve seen my dads nose. 

That helped, it boosted my confidence until it didn’t. Through my teenage years, I would try to hide it, like I could😂. This, having acne with other things affected my self esteem. 

I started hating my smile, when I started modelling it was surprising to me cause I would not take a selfie - I was faking my confidence till I deeped that I’m actually getting somewhere with this thing. 

Fast forward to now, I’m still shy to smile sometimes in front of the camera but no one can convince me that I’m not that babe. Periodt!

It’s exhausting being a black woman, you’ll learn to love your skin color, black features, skin and/or hair issues and we are expected to be strong amongst other things. 

What sucks most with life is you’re not responsible for the things society considers ‘important’ and use to judge you. 

Not your gender, race and/or if you were born in generational wealth. 

You’re here and you have to overcome everything thrown at you. It’s silly but the journey is just as rewarding (sometimes).

What comes after the pain is an unshakeable self love and self believe that if I survived that, there’s nothing that can uproot me. 

Life is a journey and the only destination we are sure of is death so while you’re on your journey with self love or whichever journey you’re on. Remember to enjoy life as you go.

“When they call you, telling you how they wish y “When they call you, telling you how they wish you were never born. You listen to them call you a failure. You quietly cut the call and strip naked. You walk into your bathroom and turn on the shower. You cry your heart out. You come out dripping of swallowed excuses. You call me as you kneel on the bathroom floor telling me how badly you want to live. I tell you to hold on, I tell you sometimes the moon is too weak to be full. Today, there are just too many clouds. Just today. You say how weak your life has gotten. I listen to you curse God. I do not correct you. These suns don’t come easy anymore. I watch you peel your skin in silence. I watch you fight your fight in anger. You say, “yellow” and I say joy. You say “God,” baby, I say you.”

⁣
I used to hate it and be mad at myself for overthinking little things. I have stopped because I realized how much my overthinking has protected me. ⁣
⁣
Two things that has helped me is ⁣
1. Being sure of people’s intentions that I have around me⁣
2. Communicating properly. ⁣
⁣
If I feel it, I’m going to say it in a way you understand. ⁣
⁣
It’s easy for people to dismiss your feelings when they know you’re an over-thinker, some even weaponise it to be emotional manipulative. ⁣
⁣
I saw this thread @t0nit0ne posted about overthinking in relationships and thought to share. ⁣
⁣
If you’re an over thinker, one of the biggest mistakes you can make is settling for someone that cannot communicate properly, you will loose your shit. ⁣
⁣
If you’re dating an over thinker, learn to communicate properly and more than half the problems that come from your partner overthinking will be solved. ⁣
⁣
Are you an over thinker? Where are you right now? Struggling or finding balance?⁣

Blueberries are slowly becoming a fave of mine bec Blueberries are slowly becoming a fave of mine because apart from help in boosting immunity, studies have suggested that they could help your sex drive by increasing levels of dopamine and blood flow: two essential parts of sexual wellbeing. 

Studies show the berry helps blood circulation and dopamine release within the brain, creating a happy libido too! 🫐

@lovefreshberries have created a limited edition blueberry lube called Luberry and you can fill out the form in my bio if you want to be sent a free sample! (Link in bio)☺️
