Choose them wisely





Hello, me again, reporting for duty. I've once again been sitting with a topic on my heart that I just could not wait to blog about. It is something that each and every one of us as young females deal with on what seems to be a daily basis... Friendship(s). Well, if you're like me, I go through friends like underwear. Not that I treat them bad or anything but because I am very picky when it comes to friends. Like some people, I don't let people in very easily, for the simple fact that you cannot trust just anyone.

In life, whether young or whether old, we will always come into contact with people; Some will become a friend for a season while others will simply become a lifelong bud. A friend is someone who complements your character and who you are, they are there to celebrate your victories and defeats (yes, we celebrate defeats because it means something better is in store!). It is so important to surround ourselves with the right kind of people because ultimately, we are only as good as the people we surround ourselves with. We need people who are going to uplift us, people who are inspiring and on the same mission as us. If not, it's pretty much pointless surrounding ourselves with them. We're at an age where high school friends are starting to fall by the waist-side. Why? Simply because we're maturing, and with maturity comes change. It means deciding who is real and who was only there for the good times. Unfortunately, this is life and the good times aren't always going to roll, so you better roll those fake friends outta here. However, I'm not saying that all high school friends fall away but most of them do. This is our life and we need to decide who is worth being in it and who is worth the effort of keeping.

But I don't want to end this post on a negative note because meeting new people and making new friends is an exciting process. All you need to do is go to the right places and keep in mind who you are, what you stand for and never compromise that to please anybody. Toodles:)

Change


Greetings beautiful ones:) Its been a while since I've posted but I am here now. For the past week I've been sitting with this topic on my heart and I've been mentally brainstorming exactly how I would put this up on my blog. This topic is change. I am personally going through a season of change. Like most people, change is a season that comes about 10 times a year. It is something that is not easy but it is inevitable and eventually we all need to adapt. 

The thing about change is that it comes in different forms. It could in the form of friends, or it could be in the form of relationships. Change is something that comes along in order for us to grow. It is God's way of saying "The time for this is now over, I have something new and even better in store for you". Yes, I know that we do not see change the way God intends for it to be because we get into a certain comfort zone and it is almost like as soon as we get cosy, things start to change. That is exactly what it is though. Imagine we never had a thing such as change. We would not grow, we would not learn, we would not see that there is always something better out there. Sometimes, we might long for a change; to change our hair, to change our style of to simply change the way we think.

It is human nature to fear change and what it might bring but I personally feel that when the season of change comes, we should be excited and we should embrace it because it only means that God's best is coming our way. I will leave you with this quote that truly inspires me when it comes to change:
"Change is sometimes needed to better yourself, love yourself and truly be happy. Never stop working on the best you can be. It's a life long endeavor" - Angelique Laforest Tremblay

Finding Mr Right



So I have recently come across many of my friends who are dying to find 'The One'. Searching high and low to find 'Mr Right'. This got me thinking... Is there an ACTUAL Mr Right out there for all women? Or is this just a cliche term used by women who perhaps set their standards a bit too high (or low)? Then I realised, in order to find Mr Right, you need to be Ms Right, right (See what I did there *laughs*)?

Let's put it into perspective: Mr Right won't recognise you unless you're the type of person that he is looking for because you're not Ms Right...Okay, pretty blunt but hey, you can at least credit me for my honesty. Women tend to be so focused on finding Mr Right that they forget the fact that they too need to fix themselves and be ready for when the potential candidate comes. I think that women need to focus more on themselves and I swear that at any moment, he will come strolling along. Focus on being the type of person YOU would like to fall in love with. In other words, be the example, after all, the type of person you are is the type of person you will attract.

So ladies, take a deep breath and try not to have a heart attack thinking about the fact that you might die alone with 600 cats (just kidding, you'll never)! If it's what you'd prefer, go on a date or a few, meet new people and make new friends because there is absolutely no harm in trying. I personally believe that it is not about finding Mr Right but rather PREPARING YOURSELF for someone who will appreciate and adore you the way God does. :)

Happy finding beauts♥
