Unique…but Reasonable

July 28, 2025 lcscarlett957

How would you describe yourself to someone?

I would describe myself as quiet but unique when you get to know me.

Sometimes…I can be creative or have a mental block.

Passionate about different projects, good news, media, and a lot of rare things to show and look back on.

I’m empathetic, and respectful because I am not quick to judge anyone until I get to know them on a comfortable level and layers for me to let go to show my true self.

I scare easily and am fearful…But I was born in a wonderful faith with a respectful religious background which I always remain humble.

Sometimes I show too much passion, especially for sports or topics I love…

I have a bad habit of overhinkjng and stressful, because ai wnt things to be perfect or fix things easily and too nice.

So I reflect a lot on myself and always try to grow in any way I can.

Can be lazy…but responsible and always loyal to my loved ones because inside that I am still working on, I care about other people more than I do myself.

Quiet, Unique, Simple but Passionate and Caring

That’s Me and I’m still working to be better 🙂

Take a Break & Journal Your Thoughts

July 24, 2025 lcscarlett957

What strategies do you use to maintain your health and well-being?

Mental Health is something I did not consider important, until 3 years ago I got wiser and had a lot of personal factors….something that took me to a very low point in my life and I didn’t know how to get out.

So I just thought and searched online what is something I can do to improve my mornings and not feel depressed….

And some strategies that I found out…

1. Try and make a routine to help lessen the load. With mornings and evenings.

2. Add small healthy habits slowly to help your mental and physical well-being.

3. Exercise although tiring and hard at first can go a long way and helps…

4. Don’t wait to start something or learn something new just do it.

5. Meditation and time to yourself is a very important factor that is healthy to add.

6. Journaling your thoughts, fears, aspirations, anger, joy, sadness, and happiness is a good outlet to release stress

7. Planning out meals brought a new joy and improved my mental health because I don’t feel the need to rush or stuck in confusion.

8. Take a break during the day…too much time on one or multiple things will lead to burnout.

I am still reading and looking at some more good advice to add to help me but I still keep on trying. 🙂

Take a Risk to Venture Off

July 23, 2025 lcscarlett957

What are your future travel plans?

Well, since traveling to 2 places for the first time out in the world…

One is Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. Wonderful place and will definitely go to take a trip back in the future.

Second was Cuba, a budget-friendly place that had beautiful weather, but it will take a different accommodation to make me go back.

That being said, I would like to visit more tropical places and areas of historical value and learn about the culture around the world.

If I were to write down a list…

Jamacia
Spain
Italy
Switzerland
Fiji
Barbados
Maldives
Japan (Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka)
Bali
Bora-Bora
Dubai
China (Great Wall)
Machu Pichu
Cape Town
Tanzania
Florida – Need on trip to Disneyland at least once
London
Barcelona
Sydney, Australia
Paris France

It’s a bit of a long list but I really would love to see you around the world and learn more.

I would try probably for some budget-friendly as I am right now.

But I pray and believe that step by step, I can get the chance to visit those places and even more across the world.

I’m even interested in going and traveling around where I live right now in Canada.

Because for 25 years, I haven’t even seen around the country where I was born. So for starters, I would love to see the great Baniff Park. How about taking a trip to see Vancouver?

Take a trip to Montreal, see the culture of Quebec City, and even some of the Northwest Territories, or a little bit up in Calgary, just for a change.

More Self-Care…Less Phone Addiction

July 22, 2025 lcscarlett957

What would you change about modern society?

Modern technology has grown so much over the century…

It has done a lot of good in the world. But it also has done a bit of bad, in more physical and mental aspects.

Technology is a wonderful tool.

But it can take away from real connections that were once there previously.

As I was a kid and I got on the bus, people were laughing, even strangers talking to each other and it was interesting. With meeting new people and having fun or any experience.

Now, as an adult and 2025…

I get on a bus, and everybody’s glued to their phones.

Either looking at them for thirty minutes straight or it’s just mindless doom scrolling on social media.

Even my parents can’t put down the phone to acknowledge my presence while doom-scrolling Facebook videos and looks at them all tge time during social events.

And then I get home and you know, they can’t even look me straight for 5 minutes.

So I would change a little bit about modern society may be more attentiveness.

Put in a smartphone feature where the phone is not active until two or three hours of the day have passed.

And even when you go to bed just so that the moments that are meant to be shared are more meaningful.

Variety of Genres

July 21, 2025July 21, 2025 lcscarlett957

What do you listen to while you work?

Sometimes, when I am trying to relax at work a bit….at times I listen to a variety of music that depends on my mood and atmosphere…

If I want to wake up because I’m feeling bored…I listen to one of my playlist on Spotify called Throwback.

Old songs that just make me wanna get up and move my body.

If I want to feel reminiscent, I listen to a Bollywood music playlist of songs that I love both fast and slow because it’s part of my childhood.

If I want to feel a bit pumped up then I listen to anime music, cause its part of my pre-teen years to now that I would like to give it a listen and make me smile

Music is a powerful thing that I love 😁

July 18, 2025July 18, 2025 lcscarlett957

What foods would you like to make?

What foods would I like to make?

Huh that is a tough one….

Well, I would say a little bit of everything since I’m a beginner foodie…

First I would write different types of breakfasts to see what kind of flavors are there?

Especially with the various amounts of breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Would love testing out different cuisines, American and Mexican. I’ve been loving Thai recently. Chinese, a little bit of Portuguese eating even more cuisines from my culture, which is Nigerian. But since I did see some Japanese food that I would like to try as well

A favorite of mine to try cooking is…

Butter chicken
Efo Riro
Thai Red Duck Curry
Vegetable Stir Fry
Homemade Ramen
Mapo Tofu Noodles

Doom Scrolling & Movies

July 16, 2025 lcscarlett957

Which activities make you lose track of time?

Time…. It’s always one of the most important factors in this life

Unfortunately for me, some of the activities that make me lose track of time aren’t healthy.

Yup, I do doom scroll with social media, YouTube, Shorts, Instagram, or TikTok.

However, I do agree, there are good habits that I sometimes lose myself in too. And then time goes by.

Like reading a nice book or watching my favorite anime and manga and movies.

Sometimes cooking, is a new hobby of mine. But it does help lose track of time.

Dishonesty & Inconsideration

July 15, 2025 lcscarlett957

What bothers you and why?

Things that bother me is when people aren’t being honest or they’re very being inconsiderate without considering the other person’s perspective.

With the dishonest issue, it’s when you know, no one is telling you the truth?

It gets me scared and cautious that they can do something bad.

For me, it’s like they’re putting on a fake face, and it’s hard to tell who they really are, but you want to keep your distance.

The other factor of being inconsiderate is that each and every person has has his or her situation that they’re dealing with that nobody knows about.

Everyone has their opinions in public and private settings. And I’ve always seen, in bad situations, people get blamed for something that they can’t control, or the other person doesn’t know about what’s going on.

A few good quotes that I’ve always learned even especially in delicate situations is…

Don’t judge a book by its cover.

You never know what somebody is going through until you walk a mile in their shoes

Certain Things That is Inevitable

July 14, 2025 lcscarlett957

List 10 things you know to be absolutely certain.

Everyone is Going to Pass On

No one is immortal, we are all just living our lives until the time that we are gone from this world and pass on…

Knowledge is Around Some Corner

No matter what age or situation you are positive or negative. At a random point in time, or multiple times throughout the year anyone learns something that helps us all grow…

Creation of Money is Good and Bad

Money is one of the most important factors that has changed the world for the good and bad.
Good: It’s essential to obtain many things for usage
Bad: Can be corrupted in more ways than one….Plus taxes

People Change People

One thing that I know for sure is that as all of us are growing up and interacting with others whether it be your family, friends, teachers, or a stranger on the street, or a nice driver sharing their wisdom. People grow especially from other people with learning something new or being inspired to do something.

Nothing is Perfect

Sometimes people have good days with the biggest smiles and all things fall into place like the yin…But no matter what happens there is going to be a yang where a person has their downfall and goes through rough times. It’s just in balance. Nothing is perfect.

No One Can Be in Complete Control

It’s hard because everyone expects things to work out the way they planned and nothing can go bad. Wrong. There is gonna be a factor in any situation that a person cannot control. But they just adapt and plow through…
You cannot control others…no no matter how much you want them to change. You can just let them be and let them decide what they want for themselves

Constant Change…Everywhere… Anytime

No matter at any second, things in the world, a country, a nation, or a single person can change in a snap…

Time Moves Fast

Time is quick…speaking as we are in July of 2025. Half the year just blows by in the blink of an eye. Don’t waste it, go for anything you want to do and live out your life so you don’t look back and see days or years full of regret and sadness

Help is always needed

At any point in time, a person’s always going to need help whether it be from online, whether it be from a coworker, a random person on the bus, a family member, or somebody close or a friend. It’s always going to be at one point hard on one person to take, so it’s good to ask for help.
