LIFE MANUAL Part 1

The post today comes early because my class was cancelled...yaaay!! First and foremost, i want to start by thanking my loyal readers...i see you (Feels like i just accepted an Emmy) lol. Anyway today i want to talk about the one thing that makes us God's special creation, Relationships. We all blame Adam and Eve for eating that fruit...the first relationship failure according to most of us but i am so sure that most of you would have done the same thing as much as you would never admit it. But now that it already happened, very little can be done to correct that. However, it is notable we were left with so many relationship problems that psychologists have tried to explain to you time and time again in books and the internet. So lets be real, do we have a problem in our relationships? Hell yeah!! So this life manual post wants to diagnose the cause of this big issue amongst us. In my own opinion i think when we were kids it seemed a lot easier because we valued every single relationship that came our way but as we advanced to being teenagers...movies wrecked us to the point we based our own identities on one relationship...the boyfriend/girlfriend kind of thing going on which eventually led to many self-esteem issues but that's a story for another day.
I don't know about you but i have seen so many of my friends push away their crew members when they meet that special person because of the "you are my world" view. Don't get me wrong, i know that tingly feeling takes over so fast especially if you have been single for a while, its all magic...huh? What you don't realize is that life cannot revolve around just one relationship...it needs multiple relationships and sadly by the time this hits you, shit has already hit the roof. If you are lucky enough to have the understanding kind of friends, they will embrace you and be there  for you all through.

I know what is going through your mind right now, what inspired me to write this...Well, i never like putting myself on the spot but lets just say i learnt it the hard way very recently and lets leave it there because my mum reads my blog from time to time for support purposes. ( I love you Mummy) lol. But you get the whole picture, right? RELATIONSHIPS OVER A RELATIONSHIP!!! You can thank me later.
So many young people go through relationship issues and until we accept that there is a need to integrate all our relationships and give them all the attention needed, we will remain searching for answers on google. Questions like, "Why is he being so distant?" and "Why does she take so long to reply my texts?" would not be having priority on google search if we invested in our relationships...
I hope i made sense to at least one or two of you loves. Keep your eye open for Life Manual part two where i will give a comprehensive breakdown of how AI's (Artificial Intelligence) influence our relationships.

SELFIE CRAZE

I believe we all know what selfies are and  the importance we have placed in taking selfies in the past couple of years. I understand the need to be part of the world's development but you got to agree with me, some people are taking selfies to a whole new level...it's never that serious people! Its funny how chics spend so much time taking selfies more than coming up with a better self-development project. I am not hating just stating facts. I am not saying that men are not affected by this selfie craze...na-ah...I will get to them in a minute but first let me start with my fellow sisters.
What is with the weird poses girls? Some of y'all look like you are disabled in some of the pics you take. Let me burst your bubbles ladies, you see the thing you do with your legs as you try and pout for the camera??...not sexy at all!!! That's just one of my observations and backed up by my very reliable boys...the same boys who will double-tap that instagram post while laughing at your pose with the squad. So save yourself some embarrassment and be you. Remember no one can beat you at being you!
I am not done with you ladies yet just one more quarrel, taking about fifty selfies just to look for the perfect one to post...is God's sign that it ain't your flawless day baby girl just move on...tomorrow is another day...don't push your luck and depend on the filters to save you. Oh the filters...let me not go there today.
Okay now to the men, the era of making fun of how girls take their pics by imitating their duck-faces is dead and gone so it ain't funny anymore. Drop it and move on. Issue #2 with the guys...(check on YouTube loves for proof), dudes are taking the selfie craze to do daring stunts as if Guinness World Book of Records is going to acknowledge them. It is never that serious guys you don't have to take a selfie petting a lion at the park only for us to find your name on the obituary announcements the next day. 
Okay now that am done digressing...there are some good things selfies have brought into our lives... Snapchat for instance bases it's inspiration on telling stories via selfies. The Selfie stick is also an innovation...not for you who has a cracked screen like me due to bad positioning but for the guy who sat down and made the decision to make money out of all the selfie craze. Have you heard of the elfies!? I bet not...John Kerry, the Secretary of state is the one who introduced them to us in a bid to create awareness of how much baby elephants are in danger. What happens is you can adopt your own baby elephant...take an elphie (at a price of course...hii ni Kenya) all for a good cause. Trust me am going to adopt the same one he adopted just for me to affiliate myself with greatness. Finally, Kim Kardashian (you knew this name is on auto-correct! ??) she recently released a book...wait for it...of her selfies!!
My point is people are making money out of this selfie craze...what are you doing with yours?? Just waiting for likes on IG..huh?
Opportunities are everywhere and you have to wake up and realize it! So let's move forward this year...be innovative and maybe I will be posting about you next. Stay fresh and i hope you enjoyed the read. Feel free to leave your comments below.   Sorry for the long post loves I guess this one hit closer home. 

THE MATURED LIE

As humans we are like robots programmed for excuses...and most of the time we come up with some sort of wierd excuses that we could have avoided in the first place. We always feel like we need to justify ourselves with an excuse from time to time even when the truth is not that bad of a choice. Think about it...You are broke and your pals want you to join them for a movie...chances of you admitting that you don't got money on you are rare. What will most of you do?? Hahahaha...You will most likely say you had other plans...and you wish they could have told you earlier....Girl/Boy(trying to be gender sensitive but truth of the matter girls are the ones with this wierd habit) please...if you find yourself in a point you can't say the truth to your own crew....then either you are chilling with the wrong crowd or you just trying to fit in to some crew that you consider to be uber-cool and you ain't.
Once you are busted in between the excuse...that's when you will know things are thick! They might not tell you that you have been busted but you will notice you are getting the 'btw' invite to plots because they are done listening to your lame excuses. And that is why i consider excuses to be the ultimate matured lie. Why? Well because it always haunt you in the future conversations with your pals or even your own guy/chic.
Let me give you a personal experience for you to see how excuses can mess things up...So a few weeks back I had a meeting to attend...but I honestly didn't feel like going for the meeting...(we have all had such moments...) so I gave an excuse...ati am in the studio doing some project...heh!! This backfired on me...the one who was chairing the meeting was cool and bought into the lie. A week later she asks me just how far I am with that project that I have been doing in the studio and I have to propel the lie right? So I tell her I am almost done because I have been putting in extra hours...little did I know that her guy was the one in charge of the studio and she knew no extra hours were being put in...so in short...I looked like a fool.
Now you see why this is one of the many things that need to change in 2015? We need to be blunt and honest because aint nobody got time to carry around a whole book of excuses around...you always need to cram what you said to George so that when you bump into Dylan...you will have to use the same excuse...I might sound mean in this blog but it's about time people quit living their lives from the sidelines...
So...if you find yourself in a situation where you have to come up with some twisted excuse...think twice...the truth may hurt but guess what hurts more? A matured lie that is exposed! These things are explosive be sure to remember that...
Thanks for reading now that am on a break...I can post like thrice a week so...don't go m.I.a on me...next I will be talking about something that really needs to be changed in 2015...the selfie poses!!
