Being One of the First on Nakupenda:

My Early Experience
When I got the invite to join Nakupenda’s early test run, I felt a mix of excitement and curiosity.
A new social media platform? A fresh start? A chance to be part of something before the rest of the world even knows about it?
Of course, I said yes.
Logging into Nakupenda for the first time felt different.
There weren’t millions of users yet. No overwhelming noise. Just a small, growing group of people excited to build something new — something better.
At this stage, every post, every comment, and every connection feels personal.
We’re not just users — we’re pioneers.
We’re helping shape what Nakupenda will become.
It’s been amazing to watch the first sparks of community take shape. People supporting each other. Creators showing up authentically. Conversations that aren’t just about going viral — but about being real.
Of course, things aren’t perfect yet — it’s a brand new platform after all.
But that’s part of the magic: we’re growing with Nakupenda, not just watching from the sidelines.
Being an early tester reminds me why I fell in love with social media in the first place: connection, creativity, and community — before the noise and algorithms take over.
If this is just the beginning, I can’t wait to see where Nakupenda goes next.
And I’m proud to say: I was here from the start.

3 Things Every Beginner Web Developer Should Know

HTML is your foundation
Learn it well — it’s the blueprint of every webpage.

CSS is where the magic happens
Good design = good first impressions.

JavaScript brings it all to life
Without JS, your page just sits there — with it, it moves, reacts, and interacts!

Learning tip: Start small. Build one simple page. Then add style. Then add interaction. Watch it evolve!

"When did you start putting on makeup?" Chisom asked, watching her roommate struggle to apply mascara.

"Lately," Danielle replied, still focused on the mirror.

"I don't know what this is, but you have to stop it," Chisom said, getting out of bed. She slipped into her fluffy pink slippers and walked into the bathroom.

"Are you jealous of me?" Danielle shouted after her.

Chisom burst into laughter.

A few minutes later, she came out, wiping her face with a towel. Standing akimbo, she looked at her roommate, who now resembled a runaway clown.

"Why would I be jealous of you?"

"Then why are you opposing my choice of appearance?" Danielle asked, trying to fix her hair.

"You're changing yourself to fit into that flashy group you joined last week. You're trying to please them, but you're displeasing yourself. In the end, you'll only confuse yourself," Chisom said, climbing back into bed.

Danielle pouted, silently reflecting on what Chisom had just said.

---

Have you ever found yourself doing things you normally wouldn’t, just to fit in or impress others?

Maybe you’ve compromised your values or changed your appearance — not because you wanted to, but because you were afraid of being left out.

Here’s the truth:

People-pleasers often try to satisfy everyone but end up pleasing no one. The people you're trying so hard to impress may never be satisfied — and worse, they might even see you as fake. At the end of the day, you lose yourself.

So don't live to please people.

Be true to yourself. That’s where real confidence lies.

The Character. The Habit. The You.
At the end of the day, what really follows us isn’t just what we’ve said or achieved—it’s who we’ve become.
The character we have lived.
The habit we have formed.
The you that played the role.

Our character is the unseen voice that speaks for us even in our absence. It’s not built in the spotlight, it’s forged in the quiet, private choices we make when no one is watching us.

Our habits?
Well, as we know it is the small, repetitive steps that shape our direction.
They either grow us or ground us. Build us or break us.
We don’t rise to the level of our dreams by just dreaming—we fall to the level of our discipline. The rigorous process that forms that very habit.

And then there’s you !
The version of yourself you’re becoming daily.
Not the curated one for others, but the raw, real one. The one who’s learning, failing, showing up, healing, becoming.

So don’t just work on what you do; work on who you are.
Because eventually, the life you live will reflect the character, the habit, and the you, that you’ve built over time.

Be Patient
*DON'T DRAG THE TRAY!*

*A man was sent to the annual national convention of his professional body by his company.*

*The convention was a congregation of about 10,000 people.*

*During one of the days at the convention, it was time for lunch and people were being served.*

*This man saw that they were serving people beside him left & right but they were not serving him and the people on his row.*

*He shouted at the ladies serving and they told him to keep calm that there is enough food for everyone & that it will soon get to his turn.*

*He watched angrily as they passed the tray containing plates of soup and amala before him again twice without serving him.*

*When he saw another lady carrying the tray, he stood up angrily & dragged the tray of ewedu soup to take his food by force.*

*Suddenly, the whole tray containing about 6 plates of soup landed on his head as he dragged the tray from the lady's hands.*

*His white cloth was stained, soiled and spoilt. Pepper got into his eyes and he was shouting, 'my eyes oo, somebody help me, my eyes oo, pepper in my eyes oo.' Suddenly, he was called to the high table because his company had penciled him down as their resource person for the conversation, following the fact that their much awaited person didn't turn up.*

*People around him had to drag him out as he could not open his eyes because of the pepper that was still in his eyes. It was a complete show of shame & a reward of impatience.*

*Dear reader, many of us are like this man; we feel others are already 'eating' success, breakthroughs, fame, popularity, academic excellence, accomplishments and we are yet to be served our own 'food' and we are being tempted to 'drag the tray' and take our own food by force.*

*Friends, I know waiting ****** is not an easy ******. Atimes we feel our friends have left us behind. Many that we started as single ladies together are now married with children & here we are, still single and no ray of proposal, talk less of marriage.*

*Some of us, many of our friends that we got married the same year are through with child bearing and here we are, no miscarriage once, talk less of giving birth, and we feel like 'dragging the tray.'*

*At times, many of us feel that many of our friends that we started work together have left us behind as we see their career blossoming, we feel the only way we can also see our careers validated is to 'drag the tray.'*

*Friends, be encouraged! The one serving this 'food' of marriage, success, promotion, career breakthrough is not a man. HE is GOD, your Maker!*

*HE has your own plate of 'food' in HIS tray. At the appointed time, HE will serve you & when you will be eating your own food, those who have eaten before you will watch your mouth as you 'eat' with pleasure.*

*Don't 'drag the tray.' Don't take short cut. If you get the 'miracle' by 'dragging the tray' you will end up in ridicule as you will later be dragged out in shame as the 'pepper' in your eyes will make the end of your 'miracle' a show of shame.*

*If you are waiting on man, hmmm it's well with You. But if you are waiting on GOD, your waiting ****** is not a wasted ******!*

*As We continue this Year, Please Wait on GOD. Your 'food' is closer to you than you think.*

*THIS YEAR IS FILLED WITH YOUR THANKSGIVING, TESTIMONIES, GRATITUDE, CONGRATULATIONS, AND PRAISES TO THE ALMIGHTY GOD*

*Therefore:*

*Don't Drag The Tray!*
DO HAVE A PLEASANT WEEK AHEAD.

"The Bench by the Lake"

Every Sunday, Evelyn sat on the old wooden bench by the lake, a worn book in her hands and a thermos of tea by her side. The bench had seen better days, but to her, it was sacred—etched with laughter, promises, and silent moments shared.

Years ago, it was where she met Thomas.

He was sketching the water, frowning at the light. She offered him a cup of tea, and he offered her a smile. That small exchange became a ritual. Sunday after Sunday, their conversations deepened, laughter came easier, and so did the silence between them.

One day, he simply said, “Let’s not spend Sundays apart anymore,” and she said yes with a nod, heart full.

Decades passed, and Thomas grew slower, gentler, but never stopped sketching her by the lake. When he was gone, Evelyn returned to the bench, their bench, every Sunday.

She didn’t read much anymore. Just watched the water, feeling the warmth of memories wrapped around her like sunlight.

Love, she knew, doesn’t vanish. It lingers—in the worn bench, in the wind off the lake, and in the quiet spaces where hearts once met.

They say consistency is the father of success while repetition is the mother of success. Whatever you do consistently for repetitedly after a while becomes a habit. Consciously or unconsciously watch what youre letting your brain get accustomed to
