You're a celebrity, smile !! Ever had people talk about you at some point in your life? The that means you're actually doing something with your life. Your life is their entertainment! Let that sink in. How often do people talk about nobodies? Exactly! I know it's annoying to have rumours spread about you, to be gossipped about and all but that's just part of being human, a human that's actually living and not simply existing, so as I started off, I'll close off by saying smile ;)

It's another Tuesday and another day to make a choice! In other words it's another “Choose” Day. So one bad trait I have is the tendency to go ghost, in other words, to disappear or simply go MIA. This is due to a number of reasons such as not wanting to pour out my anger or whatever issues on those I care about because when I get upset I'm not myself. I go to the extent of disappearing from all possible avenues, I almost added my Podcast to that list but ey, I've decided to choose to face my demons and deal with shit head on! No more going ghost. Whatever happens, happens. Those who care will understand, those who don't won't. Plain and simple!

Ever feel overwhelmed? Tired? Or just basically hopeless? Always giving yourself unnecessary pressure to be a certain way or do certain things? The truth is, as been said countless times, we are human, not machines. We break down, we make mistakes but it's okay! It's all good. When things get hard try and remember that “Our Greatest Glory comes not in never falling, but rising Everytime we fall. Try, keep going, fail, fall apart, restart, just don't quit !!

So this week we've been talking about relationships and made a couple points like loving yourself, being valued instead of verified, not needing to have all your relationship stuff out there as if it's a public affair, communicating even when it's hard. These are a few  things that make a relationship work but there's so much more. What are your thoughts? What are some of the things you feel make a relationship work?

Today's relationship issue is on communication. A simple hut yet very complex word and thing to do. We try to avoid communicating these days in fear of conflicts. We don't choose “short term pain for long term gain” and it's Killing us slowly. I'm no saying argue, I'm saying talk! Knowing what's up avoids bringing up what you think is up. Imaginery issues that aren't even there in the first place. So as hard as it may be at times my people, pls try your best to communicate!!

So the thoughts I got today are on “paper” relationships. Public affair and not an actual relationship. It's sad to see what's become of society today, tell me something guys, does it make sense to look happy infornt of people and not be truly happy? Personally speaking I don't think so, I wouldn't want that. There's a quote I love that says “Live on private, build in private, fail in private, rebuild in private” and speaks to me. Let it sink in.

The wisdom I got for today in terms of relationships is knowing your worth! Don't be tolerated, don't be “Verified” instead of valued. I know people are different but when someone treasures you they don't take you for granted, they don't treat you like an option. So as “good” as you want to be, you've got to be better and respect yourself. Don't settle for less than you deserve.

Alright !! So responding some “Choose Day” questions from listeners, I'm sure y'all can relate. Staying single or getting into a relationship? Personally speaking, if you even have to ask that already tells you the answer. When you know, you know !! Only you can make that choice mate! Listen to the episode and please feel free to submit your queries via email mail: [email protected] thanks !!

Happy New Week my people !! I've been avoiding this topic for some time as it's a very complex one but I can't avoid it forever. Let's talk relationships, but firstly let's talk about love; self love !! You can't be loved or feel loved if you don't know what it's like to love yourself. “Loving yourself is a practice.” ~Kamal Ravikant

So today's episode is a follow up of getting to know about Me. I can't believe I forgot to mention that one thing I feel is important to know about me is my love for languages!! I absolutely love to learn new languages and communicate fluently. So the most obvious is English, my second best language is Mandarin (Chinese/ 中文/ 汉语), Oshiwambo, Afrikaans, Twi, French and I want to learn languages such as Spanish, Russian, Arabic etc.. I just love being able to communicate with people!
