* I know I'm so blessed, in fact I'm a walking GRATITUDE list! But this 30's is beginning to get a little scary Let me share this with you: it's so easy to be lazy when you think you're young; a little over 10 years ago, I wouldn't feel a pinch of guilt if I slept 20 hrs a day, I was reluctant to taking advantage of all the hours in a day, I was so content when I should actually be up and cracking...the small positive results from my little efforts made me feel so cool, but these days I can't even sleep in; the moment I realise it's morning and I'm still in bed the way my heart skips is not funny at all, so if you're reading this in your twenties, this is a wake up call for you to be up and cracking...make a "hit" before 30, I guess you know what I mean and come thank me later with only 20%. Don't be discouraged if you're above 30 and feel like most goals haven't been met yet, I'm reminding you that at any given moment of the journey, you have the power to say: this is not how the story is suppose to end ! Cheers to life and more blessings.

* I offer advice to the ones I can and direct the rest to the appropriate places they can get help.

* Simply put, it feels good. It feels good knowing people are living better than they were before they shared a problem, and I even sometimes forget my experiences with these people. Most of these people send me messages and leave me texts after years thanking me for helping them with their education, healthcare, family, or just sharing a post they find eye-opening.

* It’s about time we created a safe space for young people to freely share whatever they are going through without judgement. Not everyone can openly start such an initiative with their social media platforms, also not everyone has numbers, but everyone has someone around them they can start these conversations with. It’s a very big task, but our immediate circle is a good small place to start. We need to constantly learn, unlearn, and relearn a lot of things we have come to accept as our culture.
