Self Love Is True Love

‘Find the love you seek by first finding the love within yourself – Ravi Shankar’.

This 2018 we’re practising self-love!
 No one has the time and the mental capacity to be treated below what they’re worth. That guy/girl is putting in 25% and your putting in 100%? Cut them off. There’s going to be many more people who are willing and waiting to give you what you need, don’t waste your time on one sided friendships and relationships.
One of my mates asked me how they should put self-love into practise and it got me thinking a lot of females & males want to better themselves and learn how to love themselves properly, but they don’t particularly know how to, so I decided to write my opinions on how to do just that.
I personally think to learn how to genuinely love yourself you must:
- KNOW your worth then add tax and that way you won’t tolerate others that treat you anything less than what you believe yourself to be.
- Surround yourself with positivity and people that actually want to see you win. Although it can be hard, never be disheartened by the friends that don’t clap when you do something good for yourself: when you get outstanding grades, when you start a business, when you pass your driving licences, get a new job etc. When you don’t see the people closest to you cheering you on it may make you feel a type of way but learn how to brush it off and go about your business, you’ll see who your real ones are when these situations occur.
- Embrace your insecurities. Most of us have many insecurities and we can either choose to let them consume our minds and effect the way we act and the choices we make, or we can choose to gradually overcome and accept them. Each one of us are fearfully and wonderfully made, think you’re the shit and don’t let people tell you otherwise.
- Spend time alone so you can learn to fully love yourself, enjoy your own company and don’t feel like you need to depend on others for your own happiness. Nobody should be the main source of your happiness but should add to it. Females/males that believe they absolutely require a partner and have a new relationship every other month need to delete that mentality, you don’t NEED anyone. All you really need is God so allow him to fill whatever empty void that you have that your filling with other people. Take on a new hobby, learn how to play an instrument be productive with your time instead.
- It’s easier said than done but regardless of if you think you’re in too deep in any type of relationship, which is many people’s excuses remove yourself from any toxic situation. Mental health is more important than the time you’ve had with someone, don’t let that be the reason why you’re being mistreated.
Self-control is power, YOU are in control of your emotions, don’t go out searching for a love that is lost, search within yourself, you can not give a love that you do not have yourself.

Don’t Be A Slave To Social Media.

'It's better to be realistic and come out of the virtual world. The moment you do this. You will come to acknowledge the worthy connections of your life’ - Aayush Verma I was reading the blog I wrote last year about social media not being real life and I was there scrolling through thinking damn, factsss 😂 . So it’s only right I do an updated version and drop a few gems for you lot. My title pretty much says it all. Don’t.be.a.slave.to.social.media. PLEASE don’t do it. Social media should not be able to dictate your life, your decisions and who YOU are but sadly for majority of people this is the case and it shows. Social media is an infectious disease that controls the mind. If you participate in at least 1 of the 4 points below then you know social media is pulling your strings. How to know when you’re a slave to social media? -   Living life for social media - People literally feel the need to post every single detail of their life, I'll go on snap and

Social Media Isn’t Real Life

There were over 12,000 counselling sessions with young people who spoke to Child line about online issues last year’ Every single day I go on social media and witness the same quotes, the same opinions and the same stories. The first thing most of us do, [well I personally do anyway] when we wake up is check our phones, phones are life and death for some of us and it definitely shouldn’t be like this.  Social media corrupts the mind of us all, it encourages us to think a certain way and act a certain way, it makes us believe that if you’re not doing recognised things you’re not ‘ cool ‘ enough or you’re not living the right lifestyle. Who seriously makes these rules? There is so much pressure especially on young people today to obtain a certain image. Why Is it even a thing for young boys ages 16-21 to be financially stable ? We are made to think that this is the norm however that male posting consistent pictures in designer wear can NOT afford it, don’t be fooled by social media.

Happy Black History Month!

'Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave, I am the dream and hope of the slave' - Maya Angelou  As black history month comes to an end I decided to do my first blog on just that. My memories of black history month growing up was absolutely ridiculous. It was basically non existent, we never once learnt about black history in all my years of education, it wasn’t made a big fuss over or any fuss at all. I believe that the learning of black history is momentous especially for the younger generation, they should grow up with knowing issues that were faced in the past. It is important in order for people to not grow up ignorant about the past and present. What makes the government think learning about Henry the Vlll and Margaret Thatcher is more important than learning about Ruby bridges. This is probably even the first time you’ve heard her name, the educational system is ethnocentric.Who’s really been to a school where learning about the culture and history of blacks was a p
