Moxie’s Reverie

Dear Intentional Man,  I strongly believe this will help every man who's planning to get married someday, and even the ones that are already married. Someone shared these points with me, and I thought to edit, add my own points, and share with you guys because he made so much sense. I've always said that parents - especially mothers prepare their daughters for marriage - to be a perfect wife for a man, and little to no efforts are made into grooming the boy child to be a good man or a good husband to their wives. Sometimes, this leads to a man not knowing how to treat a woman, or they believe they're meant to do whatever they want. Other times, they adopt the behaviors of parents - you know like how their dad treated or treats their mum or how they've seen other men treat their women. I hope these help you to know or understand what marriage is about. So read, and share your thoughts with me.. 1. Before marriage, understand your purpose in life - where you're headed...

Dear Intentional Reader,  I know you’ve read and heard a lot of times that you should marry your friend, but I want to tell you it’s not enough! I mean you have so many friends, so are you going to marry all of them? Have you seen situations where people were so close like they can’t do without each other, got married, and then divorced or separated later? Or even got into a relationship, and it didn’t last?  People say “oh there’s no formula to this thing” “if it’ll crash, it’ll crash” . You may be right if you have this mindset but you and who you marry definitely have a part to play towards the success of your marriage or relationship!

Dear Intentional Reader,  I’m an overthinker. It sucks, right? Even though my beau has made me see reasons why I shouldn't always say that because it enables me to keep being one. Well one thing you need to know about over-thinkers, is that they didn’t just wake up and decide to be one, neither were they created like that.

Dear Intentional Reader,  The short answer is NO. I’ll explain why! I’m quite addicted to reading, and almost every relationship article I’ve read has said something about men loving to chase a woman in order to value her. In all sincerity, I do not agree nor believe that how long a man chases you determines if he’s going to value you! Your value is not in the chasing. Your value is in you! Your character, your uniqueness, your charisma. Imagine walking into a store, and seeing a beautiful container—let’s say it contains a cream you believe will make your skin to glow. You checked the price, and you couldn’t afford it. Then you begin to save up for it; it may probably take you weeks or months for your money to be complete, and then you finally get it. You got home, opened it, and boom the smell stinks! You’ll be frustrated, and would definitely ask for a refund, right? This is what it’s like when it comes to chasing or when it comes to a man liking a woman or even a woman liking a ...

Dear Intentional Reader,  Are you a foodie? Yes? No? Well I am, to an extent, lol! but I also know that there are times I’m disciplined with what I eat especially when I’m trying to lose some weight. Photo credit: applebee I don’t think I’ve been quite creative with food, but I’ll like to be!! So most of the combo foods I’ll list here were inspired by hunger!! You know like when you haven’t eaten all day because you were busy all through or because you were trying to starve to lose weight but your flesh was too weak for it, and boom you give up, and wann eat anything you got at home at that moment!! Yeah, that’s it! Without much ado, let me share with you guys the sweetest/best food combo I’ve tried, and enjoyed! 1. BEANS PORRIDGE AND FRIED PLANTAIN So when it comes to beans, I hate when it’s dry, and looking like yam I have to cut. I like a little water in my beans—hence beans porridge. So even if I make my beans with sliced plantains in it, I’ll still fry some and eat with it. ...

This wasn’t funny when it happened so I hope you don’t laugh while reading! Lol I was in JSS 3 in my former high school before I transferred to a science school for my senior classes. My junior high school was a convent school, but not the type owned by Catholics, and attended by nuns. I think my school was owned by an Anglican Church, but we did have a benefactor. To be honest, I can’t remember if our benefactor was the owner of the school, or the church. Well back then, we were not allowed to come back to school with beverages or provisions like we call it then. All you needed were just your clothes, white under-wears, and toiletries. Boring ? Maybe! Lol
