We look at how our generation is affected by life’s circumstances, and how social media has magnified all life’s challenges, however, we do so by finding the silver lining in it all.https://www.likechalkandcheese.com/yesepisodicFocus On PurposeFocus On PurposeThis episode looks at friendship circles and their purposes. We delve into the understanding or lack thereof of the existence of friendship circles and the significance each circle brings to an individual's life.

And the results that come with right and wrong placements in each friendship circle.

This notion is not only derogatory, but also very backward and was brought about by a Narcissistic comment we saw on instagram where a man said that a woman after the age of 29 is as bad as sour milk.

We take a deep dive into analyzing why a man would be so disrespectful to all women after that age, especially when most African men are raised by the maternal societies

Sometimes, we even bury the trauma deep inside our hearts as it was too painful and confusing as a child to deal with, and this adversely affects us as adults.

We then see the remnants of our trauma trickle into our day to day lives as adults, and we end up making our current relationships suffer the burden of our pain.

We look at circumstances where traditional roles can make it harder or easier for different relationships.

We also look at how social norms may stunt individuals from being able to share their unique characteristics, stay true to their own socio-sexual preferences and self-determine their own behaviour in relationships.

People tend to blush when they are talking about their sex lives, or avoid talking about sex with friends or family. Our sex lives are something very private and so when we try to go past basic sex “ 2 partners being intimate” and start diving deep into other waters such as self pleasure, majority of people like to then bring religion, christianity to be exact into the mix, and ascertain that this is in fact a sin and should not be done if you are trying to be a holy version of yourself.
