Yesterday I read about a lady's struggle with self confidence and self esteem issues and I decided to write something about it because I could relate to a fair extent. I'm pretty sure some of us have had issues with our self confidence before. I did in my teenage years and thanks to my family who helped in restoring my self confidence. But...
Through the years, I've noticed that my style has evolved and I've also come to realize that style means more than wearing expensive clothes and those that are in vogue or trending. Growing up, my mum taught me important style lessons that I have come to cherish now that I didn't appreciate back then. There was this rubber sandals that had sparkles in...
With ease, I strolled through the beautiful garden. Savouring the pleasant scents of the roses and lavender flowers spread across the garden in fine rows. "This must be heaven, I could live here".

"Ah! You're the last born. You're enjoying o!" I've heard this countless times and I'm very sure the next person I tell about my position will say the same.(oh! I just told you.did you say the same?)
