musings of a twenty-something bilingual
Awakenings of the heart truly open us up as people, and through them we learn more about ourselves. Yes, it is ok to shut yourself off from the world from time to time. And I just want to say that depression is pretty natural. So please, do not hate on yourself if you go through… Continue reading faith :: shine
So something totally unexpected has occurred in the past week, taking me completely by surprise and knocked me off my feet. This is just one of the curveballs life has thrown at me of late. But, I'm glad to report that this is a curveball of happiness. All God's timing, I expect. I am writing this post… Continue reading life :: curveballs
Happy Easter y'all lovely readers!!! Yesterday is the day that Jesus arose from the dead (!!!) and the most wondrous date for Christians. I love Easter for various reasons. Pure joy comes over me when we sing the annual Eastertime hymns at my gran's church. And what child at heart doesn't like waking up and eating… Continue reading faith :: cross equals love
Often, if not always, I'm baffled by my position in life. I don't always have it easy, and at the moment downright evil forces are working against me, but I'm shielding myself as I mentioned in my last post, and am armed and ready for battle. One thing I never do is give in. The… Continue reading life :: blessing upon blessing
Have you ever thought about how your decisions induce certain consequences? Like how you deserve what you get if you do something you're not supposed to, or you're usually rewarded if you've done something well. We don't always me to provoke a certain outcome, it can happen innocently and without intention. But we are left… Continue reading life :: advantages
In the history of Kulayrosas, I've done two posts on love. And, to my surprise, they went down a treat. So I thought, after watching some preaches on sexual purity, and relationships on YouTube (links at the end of post), I would share my feelings. Whether you agree or disagree, please remember that this post… Continue reading love :: you n me
When I hit puberty, I won't lie, the weight piled on me, and frankly, I've struggled to lose it ever since. It's not just been too many days on the sofa, or too much pizza. I used to binge eat quite often in my mid-teens, and that was my way of coping with the anxiety… Continue reading fashion :: no fs given
So it's Wednesday, weekday boredom has already set in. This time last week, I found myself blogging in a lecture, while making notes for said lecture. Multi-tasking at its finest? Maybe. A friend from my church (Kings Church, Bolton) at home shared such a relatable article from ThoughtCatalog yesterday, and so I felt I had to… Continue reading life :: an outgoing introvert
Have you ever thought about how nearly all songs are about love? My favourite is Bill Withers' Ain't No Sunshine, you just cannot beat it. But we're saturated by it and I believe it's getting to the point where we have just de-sensitised ourselves from love. It's really just so sad. An article from Thought… Continue reading love :: lessons
I feel like a soppy post is in order, and I want to dedicate it to the one person in my life who has held my hand through every moment. Mum. I know you'll probably read this at some point, or when you get your email. But, this one is for you. I read this… Continue reading life :: mother dearest
