Life Lessons

Hello there Beauties!

Today’s post is late, I’m so sorry. I’ve been having a very overwhelming week, but it’s also been quite fulfilling. Today is the start of a new month, and even though I can’t believe it, in 10 days I will be all of 24 years old. That’s super crazy to think about. 

On a brighter, more positive note, we’re already six months into 2025. Can y’all believe that???? I hope January to May has been not only exciting, but prosperous for everyone reading. 

As I get older, I’m trying to be focused on being more intentional by being aware. I recently read somewhere (cannot remember where for the life of me), “If you keep your eyes and ears open, life will show you everything you need to know.”

Life is constantly trying to teach us something, but are we truly listening? The secret to navigating this crazy journey isn't found in textbooks or classrooms, but in the everyday moments that often pass us by unnoticed. If you keep your eyes and ears open, life will show you everything you need to know.

Think about it. How many times have you stumbled upon a solution to a problem simply by observing the world around you? Maybe you were stuck on a creative block, only to find inspiration in a random conversation overheard at a coffee shop. Or perhaps a challenging relationship suddenly made sense after witnessing a similar dynamic play out between strangers. These aren't coincidences; they're life lessons disguised as ordinary events. If you keep your eyes and ears open, life will show you everything you need to know.

In this new age of social media and weird parasocial relationships, we must learn to maintain our individuality. Take breaks when needed. Live your life in the present. Only allow influence from places of soundness and upliftment. 

The key is to cultivate a sense of mindful awareness. Put down your phone, look up from your screen, and truly engage with your surroundings. Listen not just to the words being spoken, but also to the unspoken emotions and subtle cues. Pay attention to the patterns and connections that emerge when you allow yourself to be fully present. When you approach the world with curiosity and openness, you'll be amazed at the wisdom that reveals itself. If you keep your eyes and ears open, life will show you everything you need to know.

Life is an open book, and all you have to do is learn to read it. 

QOTD:  What are some ways you try to live your life in the present?

Love from all ends, 
Bella

Upside Down

On January 19, 2017 my world changed forever.  There I was, lost, small, helpless and oh so young. I lost my mom to sudden sickness, and since then, I've never been the same.  Hi, my name is Bella Levy and I think I'm depressed. There are days when I think, 'what is life?' and there are days when I'm ready and pumped to do something new. I've never resonated with motivational speake rs because they are never real. What I feel right now is real.  I've always felt deep down that I want to live a full, flourishing and exciting life: travel the world, meet tons of new people, fall in love, dance on the moon, learn new languages, laugh, swim with sharks (that's a bit excessive seeing that I can't even swim), go on exotic adventures with my best friend, climb a mountain, go on a yacht and..... you get the gist. But I barely made it through high school and I'm not talking academically, even though my academics did take a deep dive.  I mean, emotionally...

Live Life For You!

Hello there Beauties!  I think we should all aim to be self-aware in 2026. They often say that comparison is the thief of joy, but it is much, much deeper than that. During the Christmas/New Year holiday, a popular Jamaican social media influencer was allegedly arrested by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in the United States of America. Why he was arrested, I don’t know because I don’t care to know the details (largely because it’s not my business). The responses to this and about this on Jamaican social media has been….. strange (for lack of a better word). The lack of empathy towards the situation has been quite concerning. People are saying if he was committing crimes to be able to live a certain lifestyle, then he deserves it, and other things along that line. What stood out most to me though, is that there were people saying these influencers show a fake life on social media that discourages the 9-5 lifestyle, meanwhile their own life that they’re showing is unattainable. ...

“Hol’ Up Yuh Stress?” No Boss. 🚫

Hello there Beauties! “Hol’ up yuh stress!” That’s one of the most toxic statements I’ve ever heard on the internet, besides “weh yah bawl fa? yah b*ttyman?”  Honestly, one of the reasons we have so many mentally unstable Jamaican men is because mothers and fathers are not raising emotionally stable men. Jamaican men are so toxic that they associate being aware of and in tune with your emotions with being gay, and that’s the root cause of many of our issues.  At what point did we reduce identifying, acknowledging, validating, feeling, and combatting our emotions to pure femininity? Oh dem inna dem “soft girl era” but when that man loses his mind, you’re complaining?  Let’s think logically here. Don’t you think the world would be so much better if everyone was open to dealing with their emotions?  Men’s Mental Health Month is super important, and it’s a great chance to talk about something that often gets brushed aside. Even though mental health awareness is on the ...
