LEARNING


IF YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN FED LOVE WITH A SPOON, YOU WILL LICK IT OFF A KNIFE AND YOU WILL BLEED. This is one of the favourite quote of my friend Sam. To able to understand this quote, I personally feel that you must go through unrequited love and any form of abusive relationship. the beginning is this magical, amazing time. But the beginning is not built to last. After the beginning comes the real relationship and if it’s not a match, then things will devolve quickly. What are you really invested in here? A lot of the times we’re in love with the potential of what could have been, not the actual person. 

 It’s so easy to project our wants and fantasies onto someone, especially someone you hardly know. this devastation we experienced is because of what the other person represented to you. what you’re lusting for isn’t the person, it’s how it used to be. You miss the beginning of the relationship, and you hold onto it as proof that you guys were in love once upon a time. Everything is was so amazing in the beginning, so you know there is great potential here. But the beginning is an illusion. You can’t hold onto how it used to be, look at how it is now. 

 If it’s not good, if you can’t work together, if he doesn’t want to work on it, if the relationship just feels awful, then this isn’t love. Most often we are drawn to people who remind us of previous relationships, or even our relationship with a parent, and our subconscious pulls us toward them in an attempt to rectify past pains as an attempt to get it right this time around. Why is it that we confuse these horrible feelings with being in love? Feelings have a very real function; they let us know when something isn’t right, and we should change course. When you are in the wrong relationship, you will feel it. It can manifest as a physical ailment, or maybe you’ll feel it deep in your gut. Our gut can also be a powerful guide. 

 The problem is that most people don’t trust themselves and end up ignoring what their body is trying so hard to tell them. Love doesn’t feel like this. Love isn’t hard and drama-filled and painful. Love doesn’t need to be forced. True love is effortless. It feels good. It just flows. Yes, relationships take work, but those are just logistics. The work is about how to spend more time together, how to connect more, how to be more open to the other persons’ needs, etc. The work isn’t filled with obsessing over how to make him love you or even just acknowledge your existence. When you’re fixated on someone, your relationship ceases to be about enjoyment and effortlessness. Instead, it is more like you are gasping for air, desperately hoping they’ll give you whatever it is you think you need from them.  IF YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN FED LOVE WITH A SPOON, YOU WILL LICK IT OFF A KNIFE AND YOU WILL BLEED

THE GRACE OF GOD

A single picture became my motivation to the beginning of this journey. I never wanted to get my picture taken because I knew I had packed on some weight. There came in the comments from my course mates telling me how fat I’ve gotten and so on. Some even went to the extent of saying I’m not coming to class because I said I’ve gained weight; that was sad.  The comments they passed did hurt but it didn’t motivate me to change my lifestyle. As time went by, I got so used to their fat body shaming and comments. But what they didn’t know was the fact that I had already given up on myself: so nothing they said was actually going to push me to change. Even with that I’ll start eating healthy for a minute, hit the gym and give up on that same week. Until my course mate took a picture of me when I wasn’t looking after I had instructed him not to take any picture of me.  A single picture became my motivation to the beginning of this journey. My first look at the pictur...

I'll CRY IF I NEED TO

I woke up feeling terrible I mean horrible....did I say I woke up?? Naaaaa haven't slept since last night. I couldn't sleep kept tossing around and the only proper song I could listen to fit my mood was Drake's doing it wrong so you can just imagine what a horrible night it has been for me. Morning is here aint feeling any better had a lot of message wishing me happy valentine but none of them make sense to me. I'm going crazy I can't even find the words to explain my mood but all I know is I don't want to face the world tonight.....I don't even want to smile to a single soul. Yes my love life has been a failure but whatever!! Someday someone gonna love me too!! Miss Taylor Swift I love you twiny and I hope someday you'll find true love too!!!

GENERAL THINGS

1) 2nd day of the 2nd week on the Dukan diet and I’ve noticed the people around don’t really understand what I’m doing. They keep asking me why that much chicken, Eggs, fish? Others even added I’m going to get more fat eating those things and I can’t even explain it to them because they won’t even get. 2) About the water issues….I wasn’t much of a water drinker. I started drinking 1.5litre of water when I started the Dukand Diet but now I can even drink 8litres of water everyday. I used the water a lot because I don’t have an oat bran which is required for this diet well atleast for now. 3) The Protein….I only use chicken, Eggs, Fish and Beef. That’s the only protein available for me. Already sick of the eggs and fish but I’m really trying my best even though I don’t have much variety of foods to eat. 4) Vegetables…I only use cucumber, salad leaves, tomatoes, pepper and Onion. I also found a frozen Broccoli at Opoku Trading which is a new addition to my vegetables PS: I take my PP ...
