Moonlight and Twinkles

Hello! I've been trying to come up with a theme or a model for my blog this year. Something different and interesting....So I came up with these postcards for my moonlight and twinkles phase. Hence, Postcards from The Evening Sky :) Basically, they are sometimes random, sometimes not so random thoughts of mine (later post(card)s will have other people's thoughts/quotes) that I have written down in a sentence or two. Succinct. To the point. I hope you like. :) The following are my January Postcards from The Evening Sky #PoTES. With Love, Odalitsidwa. I see you :) That's all. No judgement I know it's hard but please try to remember that I'm not the one who hurt you :( The problem is we set up our defences in such a way that we keep everything out...even the good.   A little more empathy would be very nice  #MoonlightAndTwinkles #PoTES FACEBOOK: Tasila Mwale from Zambia TWITTER: @odalitsidwa INSTAGRAM: @odalitsidwa ...

Relentless in my quest for perpetual positivity. Goodness. Rightness. Or at least so I thought. Turns out, without realising it, life was chipping away at me slowly. Bit by undeniable bit. I didn't even notice myself changing. It was kinda like a terrifying birthday SURPRISE! All of a sudden things are jumping out at me, showing me just how far from who/what I was I actually am. HUH! Did I think that? Did I say that?? Dear Lord, did I do that???? At first, I was taken aback. Anyone who knows me knows that I am alot weary of strangers. It takes me a long minute to warm up to people. I have to observe them from a distance first. See if they're really about what they say they're about and if I like it. Now here I was, face to face with a me I didn'...
