Welcome to your dose of embrace. Have you been well? Are you taking care of you? What are you thinking about? Can we talk about it? Lucky for you, I can hold space for thousands of conversations, wink . I'm only a call or text away. This week, let's talk about this concept of people coming or staying in your life empty handed. I honestly got tired of seeing it, experiencing it, and this is me pushing your buttons to refuse it too if you feel as tired. Aren't you fed up of men approaching you to take your number and all they have to say is, "I've been watching you for a while, can I get to know you better?" Well, if you've really been watching, what are you doing with the information you have gathered in the mean time? You didn't even pluck a flower along the road and come up with a thoughtful compliment to catch my attention. It even gets worse when he doesn't know how to compliment.  As a man, aren't you fed up of dealing with girls who only ...

Maybe this is not even about investing.. it's more to do with starting something. You've been told to "just do something, you can always make it perfect later."  Have they told you why? I'll do you the honors.  I first found out about yoga in December, courtesy of my cousin telling me about her wanting to cut her locs on grounds of Indian traditions to do with new beginnings and good luck. I was intrigued, honestly so I went out to do my research. One thing led to another and here I was, swamped  with lots of info from Sadhguru talking about breathing and holding all these asanas to bring mental clarity. For someone who was an over thinker, I didn't think there would be a day when I'd sit without my mind spewing something at an unbelievable speed. My mind was always on a roll. But I tried anyway. I even got a yoga mat. Everyday I sat and followed routines on YouTube.. waiting for the magic to happen but only a little of it was happening. So I kind of slow...

Let me interest you in a book that might be one of my favorites; 101 essays that will change the way you think by Brianna Wiest.  My sister gave me this book on a random day. To her, it might have been sharing books like we normally do when we don't know what to read next, but to me? This book became my very jipuragi. In Korean, it means a last straw (at least according to Vicenzo.) I read this book especially when I didn't know what I was doing with my life. Those days that felt heavy, and I felt lost.. for lack of a better word, I used to say depressed. Those days when I needed fresh perspective, maybe a brand new start. It saved me every time; if not immediately then eventually.  These 101 essays range from 20 signs you're doing better than you think you are to how the people we once loved become strangers again to expectations you must let go of in your 20s .. there is one that fits every situation.  I certainly recommend it for the next time you want to learn more ab...

"Slow down, you're doing fine. You can't be everything you wanna be before your time.."  ~ Vienna by Billy Joel                             At the end of the day, when I feel tempted to beat myself up for not landing at least an interview, I can't help but be grateful for a thousand little things.  I have a beautiful place I call home, a roof over my head. Parents who don't nag about not finding a job immediately after school. There's no pressure to get married yet, they understand the need to get my life right before I consider even that relationship. I have boundless choices; what to eat, what to cook, where to go, who to talk to. I'm healthy. I have that one friend I can hold literally any conversation with, no matter how wild or crazy. And so much more.  I understand that the pressure to figure out what to do with this life is crazy. There are a lot of things we are "supposed" to have. A prestigious...
