Cup of Tea

I am not a big fan of Tea. To me, it's a bit weak and boring. And the flavoured teas just try to mask the boringness of the drink. I much prefer coffee. Some might say I'm a tiny bit addicted to my coffee, but I don't mind. It just makes me happy. In fact, I'm writing this post with a cup in my hand.
Most of my friends, however, enjoy tea. To them, it's their happy place, their morning wake up. I don't get their love for it, but I love them for it. Isn't it amazing that everyone is so uniquely different!

So, what's my point? You are not everyone's cup of Tea. There are going to be people in this world who simply don't like you, and nothing you do or say will change that. Some people just prefer coffee, that's life. People are all different, with different tastes, opinions and interests. And sometimes, amongst two people, those things clash. However, you should never work overtime to please these people. You will lose the battle. Some people just won't see your worth. These people are not worth your time, friendship or effort. And, they will make you feel that there is something wrong with you. I spent many nights crying over people who didn't want to be around me, instead of growing closer to the people who did.

You may not be someone's cup of Tea, and that's ok. But you are SO many people's cup of coffee. There are people who love you, who love spending time with you, and who you are overlooking because you fixate on the people who like tea. The people you need to impress to like you, are not people worth having around.

So, regardless of whether you are a cup of coffee or tea, remember that people differ and you do not need to impress people. You are perfect the way you are...it just depends on the people around yous  perspective of perfect. Don't change who you are for anyone! Don't hang around people who degrade your worth! You are enough!

God made you who you are for a reason! He perfectly crafted you. In a way, you could look at Him as the barista. Does the quality of the drink change whether it's coffee or tea? Of course not! So don't degrade your quality because you don't fit someone's order.

Xx

Change

I stared down the barrel of change in the past few days, the philosophy that by changing yourself, your lifestyle and your patterns that you somehow become a better person. You keep your insecurities to yourself, re-plaster the emotional walls that you have built, and let go of people who bring you down. Change is inevitable, it’s part of life, but Is change good? Does changing yourself change your situation, your acceptance by society, your health? There are countless articles and quotes stating: Do not change yourself for anyone. Society has us in an invisible room, a comfortable room. A room which makes us feel safe and grounded, taken care of and accepted, even if the foundation of this room is built on insecurities, comparison and unreachable standards. Stay as you are, they tell us, then bombard us with appearance issues, weight control images and mental health stigmas. All of the above, including a recent self-loathing, has led me to think: What if change yourself isn’t...

Being Single Through The Wait

Relationships. That word scares me. Not because of commitment or work or time, but because it's something foreign to me. I don't know what it's like to be committed and therefore I commit to anything. I always prayed about being the right girlfriend: being supportive and positive, strong, independent, healed. Being perfect. Yesterday the truth finally hit me and I'm writing from a place of understanding, pain, but hope and newfound grace because I now understand, without a doubt, why a relationship is so foreign to me. 'Walk like a wife and your husband will find you'. That's an incredibly terrifying quote, because it reveals the fundamental underlying fact of relationships: getting married. And I realised that the biggest blessing I could ever have asked for was to be single thus far. Truth is, you shouldn't be looking for a boyfriend or girlfriend, but a husband or wife. And once you realise that, everything changes. You understand that love is more ...

A Tree

Right now I'm sitting under a tree. I know this doesn't sound particularly profound, but it's not something I often do. I am not the most outdoorsy person, but even I cannot deny the beauty of a tree. As the wind blows, it gives small groans. It sound s like it's in pain. And the rustling leaves sounds like soft music. It's incredibly peaceful and awe inspiring... A tree is really strong. It's built to endure and survive. But it is also stunningly beautiful. How creative is God?! He designed the most beautiful and stable creation. And if He made a tree so strong and stunning, how much better didn't He make us? We also endure tough storms in our lives and have to fight through wind, rain and thunder. But we, like a tree, survive. We are undeniably strong and capable of amazing things. I have many scars, like a tree has flaws in its bark. The flaws are what makes the tree, and us, unique and lovely. It gives strength and character and is a reminder to keep f...
