Francisco Gonzalez for Unsplash     Desperation is a state of despair, typically one which results in rash or extreme behaviour. Desperation is commonly and usually associated with a negative feeling but after having gone through many life experiences, I can establish that, that school of thought is not totally accurate. If handled properly, desperation can be used to your advantage and if mishandled, well you know the gist💁. Here are some of the things I learned or acquired whilst being desperate. I'll start with the good stuffs😉 Diana Simumpande for Unsplash 1. Being Desperate Brought Me Closer To God: It reminded me to pray, to be anxious for nothing and cast all my worries on him. It stirred a spiritual fire in me. 2. It Helped Me To Seek For Help: Most of the time we are too afraid or nervous or shy to share our problems with others, we would rather almost die in silence but in desperate times, we remember we have a voice and we use it. 3. Being Desperate Pushes Me To Work

  1. Travelling and Visiting family Like so many others, I am really looking forward to this.   If all goes well with the Vaccine, we should be able to mingle freely.  2. Worldwide Circulation of Covid-19 Immunization Thanks to Pfizer and BioNTech for the creation of the vaccine, we are looking forward to it reaching everyone. Since it was released to the public last month, there has been no death recorded from the use of the vaccine, so, I believe to some extent it is effective. While it is not a cure for the virus, it is a great way of sustenance. 3. JoeKamala Inauguration The moment majority of the world has been looking forward to is fast approaching.  The event is slated for 20th of January 2021 at the West Front of Capitol t he theme for the inauguration is "Our Determined Democracy:Forging a More Perfect Union."  The inaugural ceremony will be 80% virtual. 4. 6G We have heard of 3G, 4G, 5G, apparently 6G is now in the works.   They are described as different generation

        Nice can be defined as the attitude of being pleasant and polite to people. Many of us are taught from a very young age to be nice and kind to everyone we meet because one good turn deserves another... Christianity even further advices that when people do you wrong, you turn the other cheek, which means you be the bigger person.       Whilst this teaching is very good and useful, it doesn't apply to everybody and that's the part that most parents, guardians, caregivers and tutors omit. Majority end up learning this on their own, some at a very high damaging expense. The truth is life happens, people are raised and taught differently so you can't go through life thinking that everyone will return the favour. I also want to point out that being too nice is not wrong but whilst being nice, you should learn to be vigilant and alert, so you don't lose yourself in the process. Being too nice is good but it has it Pros and Cons. PROS • You make a lot of friends, you

LIGHT BEER LOWERS THE RISK OF HEART DISEASE  Several studies have been conducted and it has been reported that light beer and moderate alcohol intake can lead to lower risk of heart diseases. A large review stated that low to moderate beer intake up to one drink per day in women, up to two for men could lower heart disease risk to a similar extent as wine. 2.

Beer also possess significant levels of magnesium and potassium. 3. BEER FIGHTS CANCER The most amazing beer and health connection is something called xanthohumol, a flavonoid found only in hops.

Daniel Schludi for Unsplash What Is In The Vaccine? The active ingredient is messenger RNA that carries instructions for making the virus’s spike protein, which it uses to gain entry to cells. The mRNA is synthetic, not extracted from actual viruses. It is delivered in a tiny sphere of inert fatty material called a lipid nanoparticle. The RNA-bearing nanoparticles are suspended in saline solution and injected into muscle tissue in the upper arm. The mRNA is then taken up by specialist immune cells, which follow its instructions to make the spike protein, just as they would do if they had become infected with the actual virus.

This day was initiated by the United Nations General Assembly on 2nd December 1949. The main focus of this day is eliminate present-day forms of enslavement such as sexual exploitation, human trafficking, child labour, forced/early marriage and the forced recruitment of children for use in armed conflict. Enslavement has evolved in different ways throughout history. Today some traditional forms of enslavement persevere in their earlier fashion while others have been modified into new ones. Most occurence of slavery are the result of aged long discrimination against vulnerable people in the society, such as people of tribal minorities, indigenous people and people of low class. Major Forms Of Modern Slavery Forced Labour- Migrant workers are mostly at the receiving end of this, they are usually sweet-talked or coerced into accepting the offers for economic exploitation in all parts of the world, some are later forced into prostitution, domestic help, construction work, food and clothin

What is Open-Mindedness The quality of being willing to consider ideas and opinions that are new or different to your own (dictionary.cambridge.org). Another term for open-mindedness is intellectual humility. There have been studies as to why some people cling to some old beliefs when new evidences suggests that those beliefs are inaccurate and why some people immediately abandon their old beliefs and practice new ones.  Intellectual humility , is the morality that sits between those two excesses; it’s the inclination to change, plus the wisdom to know when you shouldn’t (hbr.org).   Benefits of being Open-minded. 1. Ability To Be Vulnerable- This can either be thrilling or terrifying or both. Keeping an open mind means you are admitting that you do not have answers to everything and you haven't considered all possibilities. 2. Encounter Changes- Open-mindedness gives you the opportunity to think differently about how you view the world. You might not necessarily change your bel

  1.   Banana and Milk No doubt the combination of these two, looks and tastes yummy but they shouldn't be eaten together. The reason for this is that they are both heavy foods.

Bananas have heating qualities while milk has cooling qualities, bananas turn sour during breakdown and becomes toxic when mixed with milk. The opposite functions of the two when combined, can lead to allergies, rash, cough and cold in some people.  (Strongherapp.com)

Hiya, my lovely readers, I hope life has been treating you kindly. I know it's been a while since I posted, that's because I was fulfilling nature's call in a painful way #youknowwhati'msaying lol. Sooo today, instead of my usual monday motivation, I just thought i'll inspire you in another way, you know, just for laughs or creativity. Y'all are welcome lol. 1. SUPER DIARRHOEA/ CONSTIPATION This is hands down one of the best excuses to give. It's super gross to hear about, it's painful and it occurs randomly (most of the time).

1. It inspires you to set out and achieve new goals: Unlike the weekends, when all you are thinking about is resting or going to the bar and hanging out with friends, Mondays juices up your serious and goal getting hormones and motivates you to doing greater things. Photo by Sydney Rae for Unsplash 2. It gives you a fresh start: You like many other people on the planet, probably did something crazy on the weekend or you abandoned a project that you were working on because it was the end of the work week. But when Monday comes, it reminds you to pick up from where you left off and it might even inspire an easier way for you to complete your unfinished projects.

Every single person on the planet has a secret nasty habit that they do not talk about, or deny if they are being accused of it. It's totally fine, I mean we are only human after all and some things are better kept hidden to keep the sensation alive lol. That being said which of these dirty habits do you partake in? Don't be shy, I won't tell I promise lol. 1. PICKING YOUR NOSE Well this is a pretty obvious habit amongst so many people (myself excluded😉). Most times your noses are so clogged that a tissue wouldn't cut it so Mr finger has to go up there and do some digging, which can be very gross but satisfying lol.

For months now, I have been trying to finalize a very important chapter in my life but there has been that one thing getting in the way and slowing me down. At first I didn't pay so much attention to it but after waiting and being hopeful for so long, it's beginning to exhaust me mentally and you know being mentally exhausted affects other aspects of your life.  But through it all, I have been trying to stay positive- it hasn't been easy but I put in a lot of effort. Some of my coping mechanisms are; GRATITUDE I go to bed and wake up each day with a very active brain activity, it's always like I was never asleep and this causes me to be overwhelmed but then I breathe, relax and look around me-- then I realise that I am awake, healthy, alive, in my house, with food, water, clothing and other basic amenities then I relax and give thanks and say to myself once there's life, there is hope.
