10 Things That Don't Determine Your Self Worth

“Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are.” Marilyn Monroe Do you ever feel like you're not good enough?  How do you know if you're using the wrong yardstick to determine your self worth? Simple. Your value doesn't decrease based on your or someone else's inability to see your worth. Here's 10 Sticks we are all guilty of; 10 Sticks that's Don't Determine Your Self-Worth 1. Your Age Age is just a number. This is something you have to constantly remind yourself. You're not too old and it's not too late to be who you want to be. Most times, we tie our age to an almighty achievement and when we fall short of reaching this yardstick our self worth starts to depreciate. A classic example is African women and getting married by age 30. Your age is not equal to your self value. Tenks. 2. Money (That You Don't have) Yes, the society already places value on your social status. You don't have to feel less than enough just ...

Dear butterfly,

Dear little black butterfly, You will grow and you will learn. You'll lose just so you can try harder at winning You'll fail just so you can learn to appreciate success People will hurt you just so that you can be more careful Someone will break your heart just so you learn to never take love for granted And when it feels like you're dying Remember, you're only transitioning. Treasure A.A. At some point in your life, you'll feel pain. The pain is necessary because only then can you know what it means to heal. You will experience so much pain that you feel like giving up, but remember little birdie, it's all in the metamorphosis. The most beautiful fruits are birthed from pain. Or at least you were.

Yay! A domain name

I decided to start a blog to document my experiences, hoping that someone out there would relate, and understand that they are not alone with their fears and pressures of adulthood. I hope to motivate people to keep pushing forward despite the odds, and I hope that on Monday morning, you read a page of this blog and get your behind to work or school or wherever you got to be, to live in your present phase of life.  "Tee, your site is ready!" I was ecstatic. My friends were excited for me. Everything was awesome. The day was bright. So, with a big grin on my face, phone in hand, I stared hard at the blank MS document hoping the words would write themselves.  Eight hours after my blog was published, I was almost going crazy thinking of a "FIRST BLOG POST". I turned the internet upside down, contemplated deleting the site and just going back to normal. Until I realized something; I am allowed to make mistakes, and it doesn't have to be perfect. Hi, my n...

2020 In a Blur

Wow! Amazing right? If you're visiting for the first time, welcome! I get excited. If you've been here before, you got lost and found yourself here, you were stalking Treasure Abaa and landed here. Well, I don't know what to say, welcome! It's funny really, I googled my name and this blog came up. I just had to download the blogger app to continue this rollercoaster experience. It's like an online journal, very cringe worthy but it reminds me of my journey. So, I'm taking a minute out of my very busy life (anyone believe that?) to make this post. Writing never bothered me anyway. Warning: Info dump  When I started tho blog, I was dealing with anxiety. I didn't know anyone my age around me who had that, the little I knew about it was from my mum's psychology textbooks and the inanet (Cardi is a sensation these days). I'm all good now (big fat lie) and yunno, all grown and mature and omll I'm even allowed to have a boyfriend now! So muc...

Today on Anxiety

I was always teetering. I was always afraid. What if i couldn't take it anymore What if i just couldn't The darkness that pulled me in was mostly faceless. But sometimes it was the social media. Sometimes it was boys. Or my parents. Or a friend. Or anxiety. I have always lived so close to the edge One day, i just might slip and fall Or maybe I would pull through one more time. Maybe I'll find the strength inside. I envision my lungs bursting with joy, knocking down the darkness.

A random poem

I want to talk about it But its stuck. Maybe if i found the right person... But i fear i never would The darkness is like a stain on my soul Attacking and Defiling. ----------+ I think perhaps I will always hold a candle for you – even until it burns my hand. And when the light has long since gone …. I will be there in the darkness holding what remains, quite simply because I cannot let go. Ranata Suzuki It’s times like this…. when it’s over a year later and I’m still crying over you that I want to turn to you and say: See…. This is why I asked you never to kiss me. Ranata Suzuki I believe in love at first sight… But it’s not the first moment you lay eyes on a person, it’s the moment you first see the person they truly are. Ranata Suzuki

My 2018 Story

This year, I was afraid  My safe zone got breeched and fear almost crippled me. This year, I was sick and my heart bleed out. I became adamant to love and my heart couldn't conceive the concept of forgiveness. This year, I felt alone and I wet my pillows at night. Actually, The world broke me and i became a walking shell of the girl i used to be. Look how easy it is to spell out what i could tag my curses. Please, lets back up a bit. When I got abducted, I wasn't touched. Not harmed. The word of God which says touch not my anointed and do my prophet no harm, which says people that mean to curse us will bless us; it came alive! Honestly, it was a miracle. The sickness didn't kill me, and believe it or not but my heart still beats in my chest. God commanded to love everyone, and if you don't forgive you're walking into your damnation. It was hard but I tried and I did. So, you can too. This year I listened to Apostle Joshua Selma teach on Favour a...

I wrote a poem, it's very personal so I'm a bit hesistant about posting it on the blog. Watch out for the next post. Black hearts♥

How to make your school bag event worthy

  How to make your school bag event worthy! Backpack lovers like me always want to wear a school bag to events, but how to rock it! Hand bags are not really my thing; they are too expensive and things I cannot afford hold little or no appeal to me. XD Shop for the pretiest tiniest leather school bags in the market, and it becomes easier to pair them! See how I paired my brown leather school bag with my brown suede lace up heel? Goodnews is if you have a short gown, you can pair them with pretty flats too! My anti reflexive (or is it photo chronic) glasses makes everything prettier!  Remember that when taking a picture outdoors, the sun is your bestfriend!  So, go rock that school bag at that event! It's totally normal. ;) P.s: I screenshoted this picture from a video I took and edited the mousetrap outta it. I'm awesome right. bye sassy girls!

Virgin hair dairies

My natural virgin hair is a year this October! And this is what it looks like. Yay, right? What I use to maintain my natural hair I use the locally made Ori; some people cal it okuma or however it's spelled. The English name for it is Shea butter. I also apply coconut oil, and olive oil (when I can't afford coconut oil). That's it. There's no need applying all kinds of sorcery on your hair. Hair products are not magic. Too much of these products cause dandruff, scalp itching, and what not (and these are just the ones I experienced first hand). So girlie, please just apply coconut oil and Shea butter, and go your way. P.S: I'm learning how to make up from youtube. It's still sloppy, but give me time xd. Byeeeeee your sassy girl loves y'all.

Orange Vintage Shirt

Orange Vintage Shirt This is how this shirt happened. My mum went shopping and bought a bunch of clothes she'll never wear (This happens to many of my friends). My mum, after testing the clothes and deciding she didn't like them afterall, decided to pass me this orange coloured shirt. I took it sweetly and said thank you momma but i knew i was never going to put that orange thingy on. How many yellow butterfly orange-ish shirts have i thrown away ¿ One beautiful sunny day, I was bored. My eyes caught the ugly shirt hanging in my closet and inspiration struck. The sun, my skin, glow, shirt, pretty. So, i took the shirt out for the first time since i got it, and HERE WE ARE! Not quite. When i saw the outcome of the pictures, i fell in love. Need i say more? I realised how many different ways i could rock the shirt and it got me pumping. To be continued... P.s: My glasses broke. Did y'all notice?

Black Spring Flowers

Goodbye Spring 🌺 *sniff* It's a cold Friday in Africa, today. *more sniffs* Today is the perfect day to post that flower snapie XD I've been so stressed lately due to school and life in general. I am in dire need of a vacation, but as exams start in two weeks times, I have no choice but to read. Spring don't go please, we love you.😂 I am not a huge fan of Summer. 🌴 Black Spring Flowers The other day, I saw a man get off a cab. He was holding a bouquet of roses, and I could only stare. My friend turned to me and asked, "Do men like this still exist?" I couldn't even form words. I could only blink. I blinked hard. You see, this is a very rare sight where I come from. People hardly value romance these days. I wish! Oh, how I wish. Men would open the doors, Ladies would like. Men would buy roses, Ladies would love. I guess, deep deep down, I am still that old fashioned girl. Lovin' Black Spring Flowers. 🌼

Black Girl Sassy Green Hair

It's a beautiful day in Africa, and the perfect time to spice up your hairdo. So, there's a blond trend going on right now, but because I have a rebellious spirit 😂 amma go green or go home.

Ankara or Vintage

Hey lovelies! I got a question for y'all. Would you rather wear an Ankara dress, or Vintage. Or, BOTH! Eei don't judge, that Danielle Bregoli line was real catchy. Dress: looks like both! Ankara and Vintage School bag: LACOSTE (Random shop in Portharcourt) Sandals: a gift from my friend, Maryann. Glasses: Tom Ford School bag or handbag? Definitely school bag. A simple but mysterious gown like this can be worn to almost everywhere! For a date, pair it with simple sandals heels, or sneakers, or strap sandals. A gucci or chanel bag would totes top this look, but i am so not a hand bag person. Subscribe by Email to be the first to get the deets. Hearts hearts, Tee boo.

Girls and their Cats

Cats are a girl's best friend. Every girl needs a fluffy kitty to cuddle up to... Black cats are bae but white cuties are baest. She kept staring at my DIY ripped jeans. 😂😂😂😂 She snuggled up to my ripped jeans, and tried to bury her head in my converse. She wanted to go to school with me...  Question of the day: Cats or dogs? Converse or sneakers? Ripped or Ragged? School bag or hand bag? Braids or weaves? Here's my answer: Definitely Cats. I hate dogs, unless they are; white, cute, fluffy, and basically looking like a cat. I love ripped jeans. Ragged jeans look stupid😂😂 Even on her!!! Okay, she did pull it off, but I'm not sure I would.😂😂😂😂 School bag!!! I feel abnormal carrying a hand bag. School bags, back packs, are bae. I love both braids and weaves.😍😍 Heehaw heehaw heehaw gum in my teeth. Follow me on Instagram @sassyteasel The name's sassyteasel on allllll social networks xd 😘 ...
