I thought it would be fun to keep track of the things I currently like (from within a period of a few months...probably about 3-5, that's usually how long my tastes/preferences last). I like to notice how art/pop culture influences me and how I shift over the months in terms of what I really enjoy.
#StateOfMyMind
If anything is overdue, it’s definitely something like this. Been waiting to blog about my own experiences and education about mental health, both of which really took shape this year. Will do that as soon as I’m ready. Thank you for the post and initiating the discussion, Ms. Anarfi.

The first time I had a lengthy conversation with Becky, we talked about choral music. We were in Secondary School, form three. She’d raise the song in her powerful soprano, and I’d back her with my alto. That day, we had the whole class silent and listening, till one of the house mistresses came in and well, yes, we were ‘disturbing’, so she punished us. The punishment was to present ourselves to the school choir director and sign up, so we did. We had fun rehearsing, and anytime I hear the anthem ‘How Excellent’ or the hymn ‘Fight the Good Fight,’ I remember Becky…

I mostly came home for the food
The title has almost nothing to do with my post. 😁 But it is true. So for the longest time I've been trying to figure out where I can start blogging about my life and the past 4 years from (and how to do it without baring all the details of my crazy/emotional personality) but…Read more I mostly came home for the food
settling
You ever realize that you've settled in your Christian life? And you managed to convince yourself that you were doing just fine? Maybe it's just me, but I think a person's 20's are just such an easy period to forget God. There are so many new opportunities and possibilities, and then post-college you start getting…Read more settling
ripping up floors, tearing down walls, building up new foundations
"Imagine yourself as a living house. God comes in to rebuild that house. At first, perhaps, you can understand what He is doing. He is getting the drains right and stopping the leaks in the roof and so on; you knew that those jobs needed doing and so you are not surprised. But presently He starts knocking the house about in a way that hurts abominably and does not seem to make any sense. What on earth is He up to?..." Things I have learned so far:
trying to find my peace (circa 2010)
"So you think I'm alone? But being alone's the only way to be When you step outside You spend life fighting for your sanity" I still remember the day I bought the physical CD of The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe. Mannn. So I was on a People to People trip (kind of like GYLC, if you've heard of that)...
love letters for what will be
Dear future me: Hopefully you’re continuing the attitude of making life simple in spite of its challenges. You have finally learned to laugh again without being afraid, but it never came from you...

An image I made for a digital collage assignment -- the one that I was late to submit. Lol. It had to be a narrative of some form. This was the first time ever (ever. ever) I used Photoshop beyond basic adjustments. And I was sweating because I was with some real artsy kids who had done photography since…Read more pulchritude
Dead or Alive
A voice says, “Cry!” And I said, “What shall I cry?” All flesh is grass, and all its beauty is like the flower of the field. -Isaiah 40:6 I was watching The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency last Tuesday and it was an episode where an African-American mother came back to look for her missing son...
