Hello Ladies, What better day to start your journey of healing and wholeness. So.... I had an epiphany the other day and figured it would be useful to share it with you. We all go through life carrying an inner child who sometimes is broken and plagued by a variety of unresolved issues which ultimately frame how we react, love, expect to be loved and express emotion. In this case, the first step to healing is to acknowledge your inner child and to recognize that she's hurting and to understand where she's hurting. To pinpoint exactly what the hurt is e.g. feeling that she didn't have enough love or acceptance growing up, feeling the need to always please to feel loved or earn whatever love she gets, feeling inadequate because a parent figure didn't step up, feeling closed-off because she was raised in an environment that didn't allow for expression etc... I don't want you to dismiss your inner child or how she feels. To move forward and to be whole, you need to soothe her pain. You need to close your eyes and see her in your mind's eye. You need to apologise to her for how she feels and how she had nothing to do with the non-acceptance. How it is not her fault and how she must forgive those who hurt her because if people knew better, they would act better. You need to kiss her and embrace her tightly while telling her that you love her, that you are proud of her for being so strong. You need to kiss her and hug her intensely so that she breaksdown in your arms. Then you need to tell her to stop expecting love and acceptance from those figures (parental or otherwise) in her past because it may never come. You need to help her accept that situation because it is only after acceptance and letting go of those expectations and cravings of love from sources that cannot give it that healing can truly begin. Still holding her close, you need to tell her all about what amazing things you've been up to and how there is so much to look forward to. You then look her in the eye and kiss her one more time. This simple exercise of self love brings with it fresh perspective that will allow you not expect another to fill an unfillable void. instead, you will be in a place where you simply allow another (a partner or any other) to love you how they know how without projecting unmet needs and expectations on them.

This post brings some new information to the fore. It was sad reading it. I was shocked (not sure why) but I was.

When is the right time to come out the closet? When is it right to open up and accept who you really are Especially because Nigerians right now are hostile to queer people, and the police are having fun arresting homosexuals instead of enforcing law and order. When is the right time to tell that friend, brother, sister ,parents etc and stop being in silky relationships that u r not meant to be? I hope the house would kindly help shed more light on this

Jackie Chan's daughter comes out as a Lesbian on Instagram
FlyJ posted a topic in Latest News and Gist
Jackie Chan's estranged daughter, Etta Ng, came out as a lesbian last week when she posted a photo on Instagram in front of a rainbow flag, with the simple caption, "#lgbtqai #lgbt #lesbian #androgynous." Then In a follow up post, Etta revealed that not only is she a lesbian, but also she is in a committed relationship with social media influencer Andi Autumn. She wrote, 'I am in awe at the amount of support and love poured my way. I am speechless at how followers went to my Girlfriend @andiautumn and my account to show us both so much positivity. People all over the world have been rooting us on as Hong Kong media continues to mock. I’ve grown up in a world of negativity and close mindedness but I am at that point where I realise that I can use my experience to tell my truths and help others just like me. Thankfully I’ve grown since the days I was powerless and uncertain what the world has for me. Thank you for the enormous outpour of love and acceptance'. Before now, Etta has been out of the spotlight for most of her life. The media was very taken with Etta around the time of her birth in 1999, when they dubbed her "Little Dragon Girl." Jackie had an affair with Elaine Ng, a beauty queen in the late '90s, which ended before Etta's birth. Since then, Etta and her mother have lived fairly private lives in Hong Kong. Source -
Food for thought - "After I came out of the closet, I learned many lessons about life. I’ll share two," She writes The first thing I learned is that I’m on my own. It took me a while to realize this because I kept expecting and waiting on family and friends to show support, give approval, and accept me. Very few did. The others remained silent. And they’re still silent till today because neither has bothered to break the silence. The second lesson is that nobody owes me anything. There’s a tendency to feel entitled to peoples love, acceptance, and financial resources based on their supposed role in our lives...mother, father, brother, sister, uncle, aunt, cousin, niece, bestie, friend, etc. Nothing could be more false. You’re not entitled to anything. You want something, work hard for it. Bear the consequences. The sooner I started to feel less entitled, the happier I became. I engaged with those that wanted to engage, laughed with those that wanted to laugh. If I was in need, I asked. If I got, I appreciated.If I didn’t, no hard feelings. Life continued. That’s how I live my life even now and I’m getting better at it. So, instead of feeling like people owe you anything, work hard on your own and be grateful for life helpers you meet along the way. Good morning. Source
