2020: Yearly Round-up
Now we all know 2020 sucked majorly. There’s no argument about it. 2020 proved to us that we can plan, but God decides. It humbled us all! Me included. But I thought of looking back to some positives instead, and bring you this round-up. I made my first Yearly Round-up in 2018 and I was […]

Your Voice Matters
I’ve been into singing since I was very young. Most people don’t know this, but I started singing at weddings when I was barely 13 years old. So I was in various bands with people who were way older than me. Sometimes, there would be some problem. When I tried to suggest a solution, the […]
My Struggle with Depression
Last year, I hit a low. It all started with a “we regret to inform you” email that crushed me. You know those opportunities you apply for and in your heart, you convince yourself you got it… I didn’t get any of them. So I didn’t take it very well. I spent my days in […]
Life Currently (February 2020)
A happy new year to you! (Is it too late? Pffft there are no rules to this, receive my new year greeting with glee please). I’m hoping 2020 has started with a great big bang. How are we doing with the resolutions? Kapena that’s an area we shouldn’t even talk about? Tiyamba za serious later? […]
Correction
I’ll make this as brief as I can, hoping it doesn’t sound preachy. This is all drawn from my own experience, and I thought it might help some Christian out there. OK, here goes: I was born and raised in the Message of the Hour. I have ever talked about how the devil convinced me […]
Your Mental Health Matters Too (Guest Post)
Each time I’ve thought of sharing about this I’ve stopped myself. I’ve thought, “there are real problems out there than just having low self-esteem. Anthu akuvutika kunjaku”. I find that telling someone they shouldn’t be upset about something because there are other bigger things to be upset about, is a bit like telling someone not […]
Things I was Never Told About Therapy (Guest Post)
Hie. I’m Faith. Not that Faith. A different Faith. I don’t know if I should introduce myself now or just keep writing and trust that there’s going to be an intro of sorts at the end of this. Anyways. I was asked to write about something and honestly I never know what to say or […]
We Went Hiking! (August 2019)
After adult life slapped me hard and left me down in the dumps, I asked my cousins and niece if we could go hiking up Zomba Plateau (timafuna mphepo zina amwene). Zomba Plateau is one of my favourite places in the world and I’ve been up there a whole lot of times, but I always […]
Introducing my YouTube Channel (which is not really new…)
…because I’ve had it for years but wasn’t really uploading and only got round to it recently. But anywho, INTRODUCING MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL! YAAAY! *throws confetti in the aiiir* Soooo, I did mention I have a YouTube channel in a blog post some months back, but it didn’t have much. I have recently uploaded some […]
