Growth for Dummies: You're evolving🌱🌻

-
To my lovely, ever-so-patient reader (s)

Do you still exist? I've been away for a while I know but I promise I can explain! If you're still here well.... I don't know what to say about you. You're the real deal.

About my absence, where do I begin? To put it simply, sis has been going through A LOT! Good, bad, interesting, devastating, boring, stressful, name it and I've been through it. The past few months of my life have been quite demanding for me. I've been challenged in so many ways and I have changed so drastically because of some of this stuff which has made it hard for me to write for Life, Actually.


This blog was meant to be a place I can express myself, but for the past few months, i haven't truly known what or who, Siboe is. I want to put across a realistic impression of myself and try to help those out there who relate, but I haven't been sure what that would be.

Dear reader?
Do you have a solid idea of who and what you are? Is your identity a solid wall that will remain unshaken, come what may?
Have you ever felt like you're losing you, pieces of you that you once thought we're vital?
Do you know the feeling of watching them  slowly diminish in importance?

That is what happening to me. But the good news is that I am happy. I feel as though that is me actually living life  (get it?coz the blog is called Life,Actually?) which is the whole point anyway. I am okay with these changes, confusing as they may be, and I am ready for whatever new phase I am being called into because as my aunt once said to me when I was 18years old:

"Siboe, you need to experience life outside of tv".
Please note that this was during a very intense Grey's Anatomy watching phase where I would only talk about Jackson and April.

Also: Please note that I now have real-life experiences of my own to rant about, if you're willing to listen that is.


Dear Reader,
Are you changing, growing, evolving?
Is it scary, challenging, stressful, painful?
Please don't panic. You're okay! You're levelling up, becoming a boss , becoming the you of your dreams. And that is A GOOD THING!
As long as you keep doing everything in love, you will be alright. Love (the one that lives inside of you) will keep you afloat and your head above water.
Plus, how boring would it be if we didn't have situations that force us to grow?
The way I see it is this:
All my experiences, no matter how bad, have become stories to laugh about with the people I love later on in life.

Here's to hoping I'll tell you about them one of these days.

Love,
Light and,
Hopefully some consistency❤🌻

Daddy's Girl 101 Part 2: Love Cannot Be Earned....

-

  The more that I walk this Daddy's Girl journey, the more observations I find myself making about girls (or people, if you will) who are thriving in their Daddy-daughter relationships.  This time I found myself harshly judging somebody for making a mistake that I deemed really fatal. I just could not wrap my head around the fact that somebody with a present father could let him down like that and then it hit me that actually, it was these people who have the privilege of being born into loving families with stable parental figures who made all these seemingly silly mistakes. Why? If I had that kind of background. I told myself, I'd never do anything to jeopardize it. I'd show them that I was worth loving because I would never let them down. This was my line of thinking and I was neck-deep into judging people I did not know enough about when it hit me! Of course they made mistakes! Life is about making mistakes, learning and growing from them, not about trying to walk th...

The Grateful Series: Intro💫

My beautiful readers🎉! On the 24th of December it will be a year since i wrote my first post, since i first let you all in to my mind and my heart and i can honestly say i have grown so much since then. What i originally intended as a platform to express my thoughts, and my deepest, darkest feelings somehow turned into a sort of post office where i can send you all my love and light and poetry. Somewhere in the middle of the year i went from writer to artist, from complaining about straws( yes! That post happened this year!😂) to declaring my love for the human race and it's flaws. I discovered that i wanted to do more than just analyse things and write about them, but that i also wanted to to use words to heal people. Now, i don't know if i have succeeded but I do know that i will continue working on this all the way into the oncoming year so at some point, it will have to work. I recognize that art is nothing if it does not add value therefore, i am dedicated to addin...

Non-conformist is a label

I am a non-conformist who hates labels. Yes, i see the irony in that statement. I'm still trying to find a way to describe myself without using that phrase because, well, we have already established why. I hate labels and non-conformist on it's own is a label. Before i explain my attitude towards labels, I'd like to point out why i identify as a non-conformist, among other things. The first time i deliberated the word conformist was at a university information session. The recruitment officer asked me to stand up and tell everyone the story of how i came to apply to the school and what the application process was like because i had already been accepted to the university. I remember feeling like being picked on just ruined my chances of fitting in with these other kids. What should have made me proud instead made me feel different and wierd, something i really didn't want because i was already a loner. People tell me that i spoke well that day but honestly, i did t...
