My fixation-Afro hair..Yes, I find Afro hair really beautiful. From the way it grows, refusing to fall down to the texture of every curled up lock. Natural African hair is unique, matchless and absoutely stunning in my eyes.

Gratitude
A couple of months ago I met a lady at work who was in her late twenties. She was beautiful; married to a great man and shared an adorable baby boy with him.
I personally felt that she was very blessed. However she on the other hand did not see this. Her heart was not at rest, constantly she’d be trying to get what I have, always saying she wishes she had had the opportunities I had, if she could go back in time she’d try and make the choices that I had made.
It got really irritating because I felt like she had a lot to be grateful for, there are starving people in this world and she’s got a job and husband that takes care of her. So many children are born with autism and other illnesses, she could be grateful that she has a baby that’s healthy and many couples are struggling to just have a baby. However she was constantly looking at what I have. It got annoying cause it’s not like I’m this rich person born into millions, I’ve also had my fare share of struggles in life, I’ve also made some bad choices along the way. The thing is I just don’t see the need to advertise the bad decisions I’ve made or the low times I’ve been through because if I hadn’t gone through it, I wouldn’t know what I now know about life, I’m still alive and it’s all made me a stronger person. Plus it’s nothing compared to what other people have had to face in this world. I know that there is always someone going through something worse.
If you’re always looking at people’s lives, what they have, what you have to get because they have it. Trust me on this; you’ll always be unhappy. Rather concentrate on what you have, the little and big things that God has given you. The fact that you have a bed is something that you should be grateful for, if you have all your limbs, that’s also something to be grateful for. When you focus on what you have rather then what others have, you’ll live a life filled with an abundance of joy.
