Open letter

So last week I just existed...I simply could not be bothered to do anything. My self examination showed results of cryophobia, itis, procrastination and the lazy syndrome. I know, I know Bruno Mars is sorted for life but when he made that lazy song, he knew what he was singing about. I cannot argue with his song anymore. That song is deep...I GET IT! I found myself closer to my bed like never before, giving hourly speeches about the importance of sleep and how one should use it in their youth. (I will argue for anything that benefits me)

And am doing that again...this post is NOT about the above^^. 

Live in a state of gratitude... 

I want us to take some time off to think about what we are grateful for this year. I know it has just started but January is almost over with and am sure there's one or two things we can recognise as being good.  

'O give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; for His mercy and loving-kindness endure forever!" Psalm 107:1

What am thankful for.

• My warm and cosy bed with its white sheets that feel so good I could sleep for eternity. I now understand why some people would not buy bedding from IKEA.
• My daily skype calls with one of my favourite people...oh my life the internet is a good thing people!
• Spending those 4 hours with Jay and eating chicken burgers at Byrons.
• Conversations with Blair over absolutely nothing but feels like everything.
• Tea and waffles...
• The gentleman who made my day today...He is the kindest old man I have ever met and I know we are going to be great friends. 
• Little sisters and morning chaos
• Family and friends...new friends...kindred spirits
• I am grateful for faith and hope...that I can use those two options every single day I wake

I know on bad days its hard to acknowledge any good thing, but when days like that swing our way, let's strive to remember that they too shall pass and be grateful that we are alive. At least we are alive to see happier days.:-)

What are you thankful for? 

You-Star...

I walked into a T-mobile shop and asked for blackberry services and the shop tender literally mind laughed at me...I could see it in his eyes. 
"Hi, what blackberry services plan do you have?"
... hmm...*looks through book* I don't know, no one uses blackberries anymore...*blank stare*
Have I been living under a rock? Yes, I am in a state of disbelief! Now I have to change my blue ivy phone...I do not like change. (Okay, maybe in moderation). I guess it won't be that bad...out with the old and in with the new.

That's the thing with life, nothing remains the same except change itself. Although change can be good, we tend to associate it with negativity. I mean, we are always trying to sharpen our skills in order to make ourselves indispensable. Such change is good, right? Besides, style changes and so do people. I do not believe anyone who says "I do not change, I am always the same"...Lies lies lies...we all change. We change who we trust, we change how we dress, we change how we speak, we change our friends, we change our hairstyles and all this can be positive change.

I don't want to be afraid of "upgrades" and just to make it more interesting, I will compete with myself to get that phone upgrade and christen it I will gladly embrace it. I dare us to embrace positive change, do not be your own enemy by nipping your potential to be a you-star in the bud.  It really is possible to adapt to change or to change certain aspects about you and yet still remain yourself. You'll just be a better version of you just like phone upgrades!
