Love 365

It's February. Although it's the shortest calendar month, it is a special month because it is black history month - a month in the year that is used to reflect on the history of black people, their heroes, their past, their present and the future. In the month of February, the culture and the significance of the black people in the society are highlighted. The month of February also determines the classification of the current calendar year i.e a leap year. February is also universally known or referred to as the love month since it houses the day couples and families all over celebrate as valentine's day. It's a day set aside annually to make that special person in your life feel special.  Personally, I do not agree with celebrating someone special on one day as I see Valentine's day as a holiday that enriches the pockets of corporations and businesses.  I believe that appreciating those you love or cherish should be done on a daily basis no matter how small that appreciation may seem because they deserve that and also because it may the only chance you get to do so since tomorrow is never promised. My other criticism of valentine's day is the fact that the man in any relationship is the one that is expected to plan something romantic to celebrate the woman or the female in the relationship. I have witnessed some relationships affected because the man forgot to plan something special or did not take the date seriously. I disagree that planning a romantic night or date should only be the man's job. I believe it should be a two-way street because a relationship just means relations between two people sharing the same manner of love. Every couple agrees to the aforementioned statement but however the reality is slightly altered. My blog for March will deal on the double standards in relationships.  However, it is important for females in relationships to plan romantic dates for your mate even when you feel he may not be romantic at heart or good at remembering to plan a romantic date. There's nothing wrong in a female planning a date night for valentine's day or any other occasion. Romantic gestures done for each other can ignite a spark in a stale relationship. For instance, surprising your man with a bouquet of flowers delivered to his workplace or at home with a love note goes a long way to solidify your relationship and also remind him of the significance of expressing love. Always love one another January to December and the days in between. Practice love 365 days a year and watch your relationship flourish. Although, I disagree with celebrating love or expressing love on a day designated according to societal stipulations, I would like to use this medium to wish avid readers of my blogs that will be celebrating the 14th of this month with that special one, a very joyous and happy Valentine's day.

Date night fantasies POV

I know I have not been blogging for a bit. I did this for many reasons as I try to reinvent myself in writing. I just came up with this poem/erotica, well at least that's what I will call it for now and I figured I share and take your mind off the terrible situation the world is in with COVID-19. Enjoy the read. Stay SAFE! Date night fantasies POV I  think about picking u up and you're dressed in a silky dress that hugs to your body like cotton to hair strands. We go out and grab a bite. I bite and lick my lips as I stare across the table and behold your beauty. I picture my tongue all over your body but I hold back as my being becomes erect and my pants feel tight. The waiter approaches our table after our meal and asks, " do you guys want to look at the dessert menu?" I make a wish that you say no because I hope we can be each other's dessert tonight. You say no. We head to the car and just as I open the door for u, u turn around and I kiss u. We kiss for mi...

Submissiveness in marriage

    The topic of women being submissive in marriage has been one that has drawn a lot of negative reactions from women in recent years. I believe this could be as a result of bad leadership from some men, the influence of social media on relationships, differences in eras in relation to women’s progression in the work force or society amongst other reasons. However, this topic is a sensitive one and one that goes beyond couple of reasonings that may fuel the negative connotations.  Couple of months ago, I had a conversation with a colleague who is a woman and our discussion centred on roles of women and men in a marriage. She argued that women and men are equal in a marriage and there is nothing as submissiveness that should be expected from a woman and that the man is not the leader or head of the household. So is this true? Are these the feelings or sentiment shared by women in marriages or those seeking to be in marriages? Although, I believe that God is the author of ...

Find YOU

If you have read any of my blogs, you would know how I always emphasize the importance of relationships in our existence. Relationships not only gives meaning to our existence, but it also drives our daily routine and life. Our survival, adaptation and ability to exercise our emotions all stem from our engagements in different relationships. Therefore, it is safe to say that relationships play a key role in our lives. Every relationship we form with people is imperative to our growth as an individual, because those relationships in my many ways depicts who we are as a person. Our relationships with others may be important but the most important relationship we could ever form is the one we have with ourselves. Although, this is the most important relationship and the one that requires most of our energy and intentions towards building, it is the one we shy away from the most. We go into relationships with many people without actually having a proper understanding of who we are as a p...
