Naija girl magic...in Detroit 🇳🇬

These photos were part of a campaign I was supposed to post a few months ago. My anxiety was so high that I refused to open a simple email and perform a simple task that required a simple change in my caption that caused me to miss out on a few hundred dollars. Most people would say, “Charlie, for a few hundred dollars how you gonna be afraid to open an email??”. When dealing with severe anxiety, it’s not as simple as it seems. I’ve lost out on quite a few thousand dollars in the past because I was too afraid to open my email and perform yet another “simple task”. Constant back and forth between anyone and myself cause me to cease all communication. I get panic attacks and then I just avoid my email all together for 2 weeks straight no matter who’s emailing me. It’s the most frustrating, idiotic thing I’ve ever had to deal with but that’s my daily struggle. Some things I’ve done lately to overcome the fear of opening my email app: 1) take a deep breath and get it out of the way first thing in the morning. Some ppl say it’s not a good idea to deal with emails in the morning but I tend to lose out on opportunities waiting until noon or later to check and respond to time sensitive opportunities. 2) remember to continue inhaling and exhaling. I’ve gotten emails that made me so frustrated that weren’t a big deal. All it required were a bit of clarification on my end for their mess ups and a deep breath. For me, it adds another unnecessary level of stress especially when I feel I’ve completed my end and then some. This has happened to me and I forgot to take a deep breath and sent a obvious frustrated email. Luckily the receiver was positive and sympathetic of her mistakes but that could’ve gone left and caused me to miss out on $900. Most important rule: keep breathing. 3) try not to think about it. The more I think about who and the amount of emails, the more I avoid it. It’s best to not think about it and just dive right in and deal. It allows you not to put off due to overthinking it. It seems unideal to be afraid to open emails but you’d be surprised what anxiety does to you and how many other ppl are going through the same issue. Hope this helps someone.😊

Mental health check in: I’ve been following @dlcanxietysupport for awhile and I’ve been noticing I have some of the symptoms I didn’t realize was anxiety. This week, I’ve ate four pizzas, had about 4-12 KitKats in one sitting per day up until Saturday, haven’t slept, don’t have a real appetite for food, and feel worrisome/uneasiness in the pit of my stomach. I’m not entirely sure what I have to do to quell these symptoms down, but the first step is acknowledgement. Me a year ago wouldn’t even dare. What’s your check in looking like?

I’m in this weird space right now where I’m living in two polar opposite worlds running parallel to one another. I’m posting on social media, getting prepared to attend an event for networking purposes, and feeling very indifferent. But on the other hand, having complete meltdowns about the simple yet complex world I’m accustomed to going forth as I deal with my mom and her severe side effects from her most recent stroke. This isn’t anything I’m not used to as she’s had several strokes before, but hearing the doctors say she’s doing great and getting better yet physically watching her look like she’s deteriorating before my very eyes as the left side of her body continues to drag in paralysis is a complete oxymoron for me. For the first time, I bathed my mother today. Last night, I bathed my twin brother. If ever I felt like I’ve had children all my life, this was the moment. I am one no kids having, grown adult children having ass bitch. I’m exhausted. If you see me out in the world looking like a half glammed up zombie, pardon me in advance.

This pic is one of my 2 favorite glass of wine shots I’ve ever shot. I used my Sony a7ii with 50mm lens 1.8 f/stop to capture this shot. The reason I was able to capture such a blurred background while the glass I’d wine remained sharp and in focus was because I was using a lens with a low f/stop (1.8) which allows for minimal light to come through the lens allowing the subject to be in sharp focus while the background doesn’t get an opportunity to be lit as much thus resulting in a blurred background. When I got this prime lens, I made sure to get nothing higher than 1.8 because I’m the bokeh effect (blurred background) queen. I love good a bokeh. I’ve never gotten anything higher than 1.8 but when I transition into my next lens which will be a zoom, I’d have to settle for 2.8 (which still isn’t bad). If you have a camera, what lenses do you own and what’s their f/stop? What do you do to achieve your bokeh effect/blurred background?
