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

Unbroken: What it means to be unbroken with a mental disorder

Follow my blog with Bloglovin At the launch of my Facebook page after tremendous support and views, I thought I would share what the word 'unbroken' means to me and why I chose this as my blog's identity. I am a 20 year old girl living with 3 mental disorders, and I'm pretty sure if I kept searching I would find more. This is very difficult for me, especially in a society where mental illness and wellness is somewhat of a 'trend'. I am no longer seen as different, but sick. Which I can assure I am not. No one with a mental disorder deserves to be treated as a patient, but with sincerity and normalcy! This is something I feel very strongly about, that no one should walk on eggshells around me. That saying got me thinking one day. "Walking on eggshells"...if one walks on eggshells it means the eggs are, or are being, broken. Walking on eggshells around someone automatically means thinking they are broken, and treating them as such. Even though I h...

Prove Them Wrong

I was always academically inclined at school rather than sporty or popular. Of course, that put an instant target on my back. People mocked me, shunned me and refused to be seen with me. It felt horrible. The worst part was, though, that people looked down on my dream. See, from a young age I was incredibly ambitious. I knew I wasn't going to be an employee, but a boss. So I started working for it. But if you constantly hear that you will never achieve your dreams, you start believing it. My marks started to drop drastically in grades 9 to 11. Granted, I wasn't failing, but I wasn't achieving what I knew I could because I simply believed there to be no point to achieve. I had given up on my ambition. Things started to change in my Matric year. I got my tenacity back. The only explanation I have for this change is prayer and a God who never gave up on me, even when I gave up on myself. I ended up matriculating top of my class, and to be honest I still can't believe i...

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 ...
