Moxie’s Reverie

Dear Intentional Reader,  There’s this social media post that usually gets on my nerves—the one the caption begins with “A woman is supposed to…”, or the ones that start like, "As a woman...". Home training and modesty would never let me comment " S T F U", but I can't stand them! From a young age, I knew what I wanted. My mum gave me the freedom to think, question, and choose for myself, and that gift shaped everything that followed. I grew up being a curious kid—questioning traditions, norms, and expectations that were treated as unquestionable truths, and I still do.

Let me start by saying that I'm not a love nor a relationship expert; but I've found these to be true. Growing up, I never questioned what love is because I had a lot of it from my family; and I'll simply tell anyone that love is genuine care, and selflessness.  I once read a Christian book that said that Agape Love is the purest form of love, but I'm not defining what love is, or is not, today!

If you ever going to do something for me, then let it be out of love, not out of sympathy, or pity.  Photo credit : Times Of India When I lost my parents, I barely told anyone; and even when I posted about it, I ended it with, "please don't tell me sorry". I lost the human that loved me the most - my mum; and I may never be able to get her love and understanding from any human again. De@th is a part of life so I don't worry so much about that. However, I decided to share this - maybe it will encourage someone - there is nothing you lose that you can't get back except a loved one!

Dear Intentional Reader,  Sighs in exhaustion...  We live in a generation where people feel like, or think that if you aren't posting or sharing every moment of your life on social media, then nothing good is happening to you, and you're sad. I’ll be sharing this based on my personal experience, but let me explain what it means to live a private life. It means not sharing every personal detail about your life publicly. However, privacy is not the same as secrecy because people often confuse the two. Also, living a private life doesn't mean that you shouldn’t ask for help when you're in dire need of it. As an otrovert (by the way, I used to think I was introverted until this word was created by Dr. Rami Kaminski, and it explains exactly who I am, and no, it is not the same with "ambivert"), I keep most personal stuff to myself, but I used to trust easily until I learned the hard way. I learned that not everyone means well for you, and the scary part of i...

You ever had doubts on whether a man truly wants you or not? You take them seriously but you are not sure if they’re taking you seriously too.  Below are four glaring signs a man doesn’t care about being with you: 

Dear Intentional Reader,  Thank you for stopping by. So few days ago, I did some thinking, and reflected on my behavior. I realized that it's been a couple of things I used to do that I don't do anymore. To me, it was growth, and I was truly proud of it, and thought to share because you may find them helpful! Here are 10 things I’ve stopped doing:
