Friday, September 10, 2021
Don’t save her, she doesn’t want to be saved, bro. Stop wasting your valuable assets on her!

Life is about choices: To vaccinate or not to vaccinate, whatever you choose, don’t judge others!
We’re living in a world that has evolved over the years and we keep on learning and unlearning every day. What has worked in the past, might not work today. It’s just a matter of understanding each situation and dissecting it. At the same time, you have to be reasonable and be willing to do your research. You cannot just take whatever the media, so-called experts or social media is feeding you. Remember that you’re your person, hence you’re entitled to your own opinions and life choices. If you believe in something that you’re willing to put your life on it, then kudos to you. However, it doesn’t mean that another person who doesn’t believe in what you’re willing to die for is wrong. We need to clarify that as human beings, that we’re unique and that needs to be respected. We shouldn’t enforce our belief system on other people, that’s hundred percent wrong.
This brings me to the different conversations that have turned into arguments or conflicts and even worse, hatred! The talks about the vaccine have become a trend, which is understandable since the world is facing the COVID-19 pandemic. It’s difficult to live life to the fullest without worrying about this deadly virus. Millions of people have succumbed to this unforgiving virus, may their souls rest in eternal peace. It’s always an unbearable feeling losing someone you love dearly in life, death isn’t something that anyone can get used to in this world, even though people die every day. This is something we hope can stop from happening, many people love living as they’ve got different dreams that they have to achieve. Even though the COVID-19 statistics are horrible to look at every time, but people have a choice to vaccinate or not take the jab. Hence no one should be forced into something that they don’t want in life.
If you’re vaccinated or not vaccinated, good for you. It doesn’t mean you should go around telling others to follow in your footsteps. Remember that it was your choice to get the jab or jabs in your body. Stop belittling other people that haven’t got vaccinated, it’s just not right and you know it. Everyone has their reasons behind not taking the vaccine, the same way you have your reasons for getting the jab. Sadly, social media have been filled with many vaccine influencers trying to sell a dream to the world. When it comes to the people that are against the vaccine, they shouldn’t question the choices of pro-vaxxers. However, they should respect their decisions of getting the jab and not try to spread conspiracy theories. We’re all human beings trying, by all means, to do what we feel is right for ourselves. At the end of the day, whether you choose to get the vaccine or not, there are always consequences that come with our decisions in life. No one deserves to be categorized in terms of being a pro-vaxxer or anti-vaxxer, it’s just ridiculous, to say the least. It has been clearly stated that even if you vaccinate you can still get COVID-19.
In life, we can always have conversations without disrespecting each other and the vaccine talks are something worth talking about nowadays. You can always get your point across easily, without insulting the intelligence of other people. The aim is to spread love, peace, kindness, and honesty. There’s no need to judge other people’s decisions, after all, we’re all here to learn from each other. If you’ve been vaccinated, please share your experience with others too.

Don’t believe any woman that says her ex-boyfriend has a small d*ck…
A trend of certain women talking about their ex-boyfriend’s genitals online has to be one of the worst things that they can do to the person that they claimed they once loved. Even worse when some so-called men entertain such women on social media. As they laugh and share their inhumane opinions within the comment section. Remember that as a man tables might turn tomorrow and it can be you be being dragged online. The “short d*ck” conversations mostly come out after the break-up, as for yourself why? You’ve probably seen posts like this on social media: “Your d*ck was small, hence I left you.” “I don’t talk with guys with tiny d*ck.” “There’s no d*ck print, you want me to starve.” All of this is done on purpose, just to belittle the man online. It’s just a low blow that ends up trending on social media since many people are attracted to negative things.

You don’t have to react or share your opinion on things that doesn’t concern you
Yes, everyone here on earth has their own life and that’s fine. The issue begins when there are altercations and that’s when people’s true colours come out. How you speak and act tells a lot about you, hence you should try to be on your best behaviour. You don’t want to say or do something that you will later regret. Believe me, there’s nothing fun about living on regrets and wondering about “what if?”. All of that won’t help you in your life, anything that brings stress isn’t ideal for you. Taking care of your thoughts, body and words build you to be the best version of yourself. Remember that only you know where you want to be in the future, in terms of your career, health, family, friendship, finances, spirituality (if you believe in it), and even commitments.
Firstly, not everything that you see online is directed at you, if it was then it would have your name and surname attached to it. Hence you shouldn’t be offended by the things you see or read online. Even when you hear people talk about you behind your back, there’s nothing you can do about that, as they don’t have the nerves to say it straight to your face. All you’re doing is cultivating your environment, as you know that your circle will affect you in your future somehow. Ideally, you should be aware of who you associate yourself with in life. It’s okay to have friends, as long as they don’t force you to do what you don’t want. It’s crucial to be independent even when you’re with your peers and make your own decisions in life. Be ready to take full responsibility for your actions too. I know it’s easier said than done but it’s something that you have to work on every day. Holding yourself accountable for everything that happens to you will save you moving forward. As you will learn different ways of overcoming trials and tribulations.

Monday Tendencies
It’s even colder to leave the bed at that time since I sleep with my phone under my pillow. I feel that it’s convenient for me to do that as I can easily hear the alarm and press snooze too. Surely, this isn’t the right way to go about a day for anyone including myself. Somehow, I know I’m not the only one who goes through this kind of tricky morning schedule. I think I’m being considerate though, this cannot be a tricky schedule, it’s just horrible in my eyes. I don’t know about you but I have to find a way to stop it. Having a schedule that will make sure that I remain productive throughout the day, while I still have time for me will do wonders for me.
I cannot start my Mondays with snooze, that’s just not right at all. It’s a new week filled with amazing possibilities that will take me further in life. Then why should I be on the back foot and not be prepared for the great Monday that I have constantly been praying for since Sunday? It makes me wonder, why can’t I execute certain impressive ideas on my mind. Then again, I look at how I use my time and that will tell me a lot about myself. There’s no way that I can have bigger dreams but my work ethic doesn’t match my visions. I know many people will always say it’s easier said than done. Hence you can have the best plan on paper, but everything lies in execution. There’s nothing wrong with pinpointing your mistakes and then rectifying them to be a better individual. I don’t have any issues with Monday or any other day for that matter. It’s just that I was noticing a strange pattern in how I do things lately, I can’t believe I’ve been hiding behind the winter season. I’ve found myself having to choose the bed on Mondays as if that will help me with my productivity. The main challenge lately has been leaving the bed earlier than I anticipated on Monday mornings. If I miss my alarm, then I’ll wake up super late and that’s not something that I love doing. I don’t like to rush things, unfortunately, when I’m late I have to be quick.
What I’ve learned is that I cannot have my cellphone in my bedroom, so that I will have to leave the bed every time the alarm goes off. Then I will have to tell myself that I cannot go back to bed because my day has started. Then I’ll have to work with my grumpy self in the early morning and get on with it. Over the years though, I’ll be back at this and laugh it off. At the moment I’m working on progress, soon I’ll get it right. The crazy thing is that I used to wake up early to prepare for school, now I’ve gone back to the awkward sleeping pattern which will end. Monday, thank you for being beautiful! I will conquer Mondays!

I've taken a long one-year hiatus from blogging and here's why
You know what they say, life happens. I've been reminiscing about making a come back to blogging for a while now. I've had a lot of time on my hands ever since I've lost my occupation, thanks to the Covid-19 pandemic. One thing I'm grateful for is that I'm still alive and I still have a shot at changing my life for the better. It has been challenging having to adjust to the new normal. I still struggle getting used to wearing a mask every time I'm in public and also, practising social distancing. It's a great challenge though since we've just entered into different waves within the country.
I make sure that I wear my mask every time I'm out and out within this beautiful country called South Africa. Even though I've minimized my movements for my health. When it comes to hygiene, I didn't have an issue with constantly washing and sanitizing my hands. I have the portable sanitiser that I keep in my pocket. Amid Covid-19, I've learned to spend more time with my loved ones and practise more self-love. Before the pandemic, I was caught up with working and putting in extra shifts to get more money every month. I lost myself chasing money, I had no time to check up on my loved ones. I didn't even have time for myself, all I did was mostly being at work. I felt like I was part of the furniture since I was there six times a week and even seven days at some point.
I failed at balancing my work and personal life. When the country went to the level 5 lockdown towards the end of March 2020, that's when I got exposed that I had nothing else to do rather than work. I even dumped the hobbies that I had just to focus on my occupation and provide for my family and myself. Who was going to pay the rent? Who was going to buy the food? Who was going to pay for all the utilities? I've taken up the role of being a sole provider at home and I had to do it all. When I've lost the job, that's when I felt like I lost my voice within myself and my family. What even made me more furious was that I lost my love for blogging too.
I can't believe that I've been away from blogging for about 14 months. That's just crazy and I've been constantly thinking about what I'll write about as I had writer's block. I think I've overcome it by posting this piece which is filled with emotions. I barely share what's on my mind since I usually dissect a topic or what's happening in the entertainment industry. Things will have to change now for the better, as I will have to share different thoughts on my mind in the hope it will touch someone's life out there. One thing I've realized since I've been away from blogging is that I love writing and I will do whatever it takes to become better at it. What's exciting is that I am now doing this on a full-time basis, and foresee nothing but success. I am open to collaborations with different people and brands. I'm looking forward to doing sponsored posts too and even writing services. Please do email: scarcitysa@gamil for any business inquiries.

Monday.
Monday.
It's a brand new day.
The start of better things.
The beginning of a productive week.
The alarm goes off in the morning.
Disturbing my sleep.
It's a matter of leaving my comfortable bed.
Then start my day.
My mind is playing tricks on me.
I don't know whether to press snooze or just wake up.
Waking up is a better option since my bed won't pay my bills.
It's time for me to achieve my goals.
And get me an income.
Monday.
Another beautiful day full of blessings.
I need to put a smile on my face, get ready for the day ahead.
Extremely grateful to see you, my love, Monday.
It's another week full of productivity and fantastic opportunities.
You've come with nothing but success.
I have faith in you Monday.
I know you won't let me down.
I will accomplish everything I need and more.
It's all about me and you.
I'll make it a point that I make someone smile.
Monday.
I see a lot of people complaining about you.
Blaming you for putting an end to their weekend.
They even call you names, they call you Blue Monday.
But you stand still and hold your fort.
Stating nobody will take you down.
You don't allow anyone to ruin your plans.
You don't allow anyone to ruin your day.
You just keep your focused within the proceedings of the day.
Despite everything, you're just marvellous to be part of a person's life.
Monday.
It's a day whereby people start new jobs.
Other's are going to interviews.
Meanwhile, other people are going around job hunting.
Certain individuals got laid off at their work and others got a promotion.
Monday you're just an eventful day.
All of the people might dislike you but I just love you.
Thank you for being brave and starting the week with a smile.

Some people are crying because of you. They wish you nothing but death as you've taken what they valued the most in their lives.
You just lost your house, car and you've filed for bankruptcy.
You've failed more than you've achieved.
Always remember that what you're going through isn't permanent. It's a phase in your life that you have to go through. As painful as it may feel but remember joy comes after pain. Don't allow yourself to be comfortable in pain but keep on finding better ways of moving forward. It's not easy to forgive and forget, but it's possible. You don't want to live your life in misery and regrets. Wondering what if you did something differently, now is the time to do it. All that matters is taking that step forward in the right direction. Also, get professional help if you can't handle the pain anymore. Don't inflict more pain on yourself. Just remember it's going to be okay. You may not see that now but in no time you will see it. Don't you ever give up! Don't give up today or tomorrow. Stay extra woke.
It's going to be okay.

My Azania.
Africa is one of the most beautiful continents in the world. Full of amazing people, delicious food, wonderful places, incredible cultures and a talented continent. It amazes me that it has been ignored by the rest of the world for its importance. Let's start within the continent itself though, the fact that we've allowed different overseas countries to separate us has become questionable. If you look at it we have less Black-owned business, we export almost everything that we consume within the continent and some of us has made okay to be second best. We have all the resources to make Africa great and have an enormous economy that is controlled by ourselves.
The funniest thing is the perception of fear given life by prying eyes who seek to gain, the oldest strategy conquer and divide has worked so well in Africa. So well that the narrative of the conquerors has us not defending a word. I've come to hate so hard for it is not true we do not fear each other nor our black skin or hate each other. Xenophobia in the English dictionary means one scared of his or her race. That is laughable as the Germans feared the Jews yet it's not termed as Xenophobic, Russia and America have been at it since the 18th century, China and Japan had a go at each other. It comes down to intelligence then which is a Black man you don't have the mental capacity to wage wars, colonize or any tangible thing. Is there any claim within your existence that you have to this world your history, your present regrettably your future. There's nothing to claim it's always been ours. We're a peaceful godlike breed race there's no need to fight each other but let's give African Nations the respect due to them. For instance, a task for the authorities sort through that it was Ethiopian, Nigerian and South African nationalists cause if we don't we're indirectly allowing profane terms. Thing is this is the same as Apartheid segregating and grouping us it's still slavery to terms given by other nationalists to Nigerian their narrative then it's transference onto the next African generation.
We need to realise that we don't need other countries to divide us anymore. What has occurred on this continent is enough. We cannot allow the same mentality of slavery moving forward. If we cannot fix ourselves, who will? Also, it's critical that we also have a look at the environment around us. Just figure out how can we then tweak certain things for Africans to believe that they're worth it. Being Black isn't a sign, it's a blessing. Just explore your inner Africanism, get to know other fellow brothers and sisters within the continent. We need to stop thinking that Africans should only remain in their country of birth. If they move they're re regarded as foreigners. How can you become a foreigner in your continent? The hatred that is shown towards as Africans is purely uncalled for and needs to end. We need to make peace with the fact we're one and we want nothing but the best for our continent. Although we were brainwashed by certain overseas countries into believing that were inferior and that we will never be a continent that the whole talks about when it comes to wealth and success.
Even if you switched on the news in overseas countries, all they know about Africa is that it's a poor continent, with high crime, fertility, corruption and death rate. With low life expectancy, no infrastructure and a terrible education system. Most non-Africans that have never been to Africa think that it's a jungle with wild animals moving all over the place. They're sold the wrong side of Africa by their news channels and also our channels don't do justice either as scandals sell more in media. We can sit around, debate the whole day but the truth of the matter is we need to stop talking about the things we cannot change which is the past. It's up to us as Africans to then show the world how our wonderful and resourceful is our continent.
We need to bring back the spirit of humanity, tolerance, respect, peace and love. Together as Africans, we can achieve the greater things for our continent and it's a matter of putting our differences aside. Then coming up with more solutions than creating more problems. Giving rise to Black children seeing and treating each other differently because of hate given life to and appealing emotionally not logically. Those are my brothers and sisters, nobody got time for that are we in a competition which is a better country or whose the smartest or fastest hell, it's healthy. Let's keep falling in love and improving and unlocking our intelligence Azania. Let's focus on ourselves, bettering our skills and knowledge than focusing on the enemy. When we're fully content with ourselves and the continent, the enemy will do us no harm.
Rise Africa Rise!!!
