Self-discovery   There's nothing as beautiful as finding self. Over the past few months I've learnt it's absolutely okay to be vulnerable in order to gain potentiality. For unknown reasons, I've always believed to be a multi-potentialite whereas I'm courageous. Bunch of confusing jargon buh I found myself around it. Pick a boo, I see you... There's Nnessy, she's been hiding the whole time, now ready to flaunt the world. I was a mess, crown diaries can sum that up. I didn't like Identifying myself as African though I love my afro kinky. Identity crisis... I'm grateful to my friend who gave me a different perspective of Africa. I am now proudly African, though it took ages to realise that. I know you might be in denial of who you are be it looks, culture, race, the list goes on but I feel it's time to appreciate self; so much joy attached to it. I love creating trends, so not a follower, though the past few years I've been in-existent yet brea...

 Today, I was graced with an opportunity to learn about leadership frameworks. I came across trolley dilemma or utilitarianism which left me jaw dropped. As in, it is part of leadership; ain't this inhuman? Aren't leaders meant to protect us? This is for my baby SkewedCrowns💕   This is where I'm coming from, a few months back I received a certificate in relation to mental well-being and respect for all individuals despite their mental state. A stressed, depressed, mental unstable or insane human is entitled to UNHR and is free to make choices of their own and not having others decide for them. Choices of what they want to do with their lives, services, privacy,community inclusion, ways in which they want to recover and many more. Therefore; applying utilitarianism seems like violation of human rights and not validating one's life. I may not be wrong to say it's a form of discrimination because you're choosing some individuals over someone.  If God can leave the...

  Depression is real I hate to say this but it is what it is. Over the years, one thing I've observed is that we're fine until our mindset functionality is disrupted. Let's take it lowly like a kid learning how to ride a bike. We  all have values or things we believe in and push to aim for, right? Such interests give us joy when fulfilled but what happens if the opposite is true? I noticed that when our values/interests are questioned, not met, aren't in-line with our imagination or are about to die, maybe loss... we tend to fret and psychologically get disturbed. Such tendencies lead to stress. When stress prolongs, depression is the aftermath. We always believe depression is for the weak, un-monied individuals or those lacking ABC... well I'm sorry to disappoint you, depression is the state of the mind. If you cannot handle your mental well-being, you are be a potential victim. Let the inner man scream on the outside, that way you can be assisted if need be. Tired...

 Chasing something is enough evidence of wanting something that isn't within your reach. If it was near, you'd get a grab.  I was watching a clip on IG of Will Smith talking about achieving all his dreams and reaching the 'cliff-top' nearly the same as reaching one's rock-bottom. The first thing that triggered my mind is 'achieving all you want' not being a deal breaker, how? As I pondered, this statement was dropped in my spirit, "you cannot chase what you have." One thing that kept ringing in my heard is the catching of ... that being sought for is equivalent to you starting a different chase which equals restless.  In the Bible, it is clearly stated that .... Jesus leaves the 99 sheep in search of one. He has the 99 therefore, He chases/searches the one missing. We're lacking aspects in our lives no wonder we're there running about in search of money, fame, prosperity... you name it all. Allow me say we're restless and peace seems fa...

 Patience, a name I would have given myself, maybe when called, I will reminded to exercise it, hahaha, lol. Well, I love Nnessy too, nice choice mommy and daddy.  Patience, the hardest thing to execute since no one is willing to wait. I plant today, I want harvest tomorrow; I put food in a cooker, the next minute I want to plate it up; I invest money, the next nano-second I wish to book a vacation or buy commodities with my savings/investment... the list goes on. Such is our ordeal, no wonder people indulge in crime and disgusting acts only to accelerate what they want.  No one has time to wait for anything. We're this microwave generation expecting things to occur in a nanosecond. It's a pity we've eliminated the word patience from our dictionary and vocabulary. One exercising it, deem fit being categorised as stupid. What then is this patience?   ~Nnessy🩷 Oxford dictionary defines it as the capacity to accept or tolerate delay, problems, or suffering without bec...

Basically, art is where we showcase our creativity and talent be it drawing, painting, music, acting, decorations, designing, cooking or plaiting, writing... the list goes on. As you can see, pretty much everything is associated to art. How about art in farming? Photo extract from the internet I believe everyone is entitled to fresh food eating and healthy eating habits. I also believe to an extend we should all be exposed to gardening, practising organic farming. Nowadays, we're exposed to a variety techniques of farming; traditional way(making use of land), water system(using manure water in buckets, bottles, ponds...) and many more. So, there's no excuse for not practising gardening. Exercise grafting of any trees you like e.g peach and apple, assuming sowing aint your thing... Make use of machinery, if you can afford to. The beauty in sowing is when the young life is produced and as a result, germinates. I love Indians' perspective of life, "we do not inherit our l...

 The Book of Wisdom speaks of people perishing because of lack of knowledge and the world says knowledge is power, allow me  to agree with the two. Truly, it is a powerful asset one ought to have. From my My Pen Journey series, I clearly stated how much I hated reading and words in particular except for my darling Shakespearean content. I was direct on my love for Math and numbers.  Truth be told, I have shun myself from issues I despite and avoided research on what I hated/had fear of failure to. After years of school, I decided to revive my coding skills which was fun and hectic but overally an adventure I would embark on countless times. Fast forward, I pushed for embedded electronics, well, an amazing journey too. Health and nutrition, my passion where as some issues gives me that urgh reaction (storyf or another day). You cannot run forever,  To cut the long tale short, there has been a void in me seeking solace yet it remined an unheard of voice for I couldn't ...
