Giving up on the world

Is there someone out there who can stand up proudly and day that they have never once felt like giving up on life? If you are one such person I applaud you for never feeling defeated and like you
were placed on this earth to continually feel pain. Have you ever took a moment to drown yourself in your sorrows and reflect on the sacrifices that you've made in life and how people look at you like you've never done a thing for them? How about falling deeply in love with someone and they get up one day and walk away from you simply because they feel like it? This world is a beautiful place but it's filled with a lot of dirty people dressed in clean clothes and attractive bodies.

The concept of perfection has moved away from just looks to people looking for absolute perfection in a partner. Nothing is wrong with having standards but ask yourself if what you are demanding someone else to have you can attain yourself. If you can't why would you think it would be so easy for them to have that quality?

I've always been the type to believe in potential and admire a man who has plans for his future. A man who isn't there yet but who works on himself each and everyday in hopes of one day getting to where he wants to be. On the other hand we have an increasing number of pretenders coming on the scene. The ones who will sweet talk you into believing that they want the best for you and that they care for you. Be watchful of those who are filled with words but never once come through but tell you to keep believing their words. There is a difference between effort and just lack of care.

This brings me back to the caption of this blog post. Life can be draining from time to time and leave you feeling like it's either life has it out for you or you are just simply unfortunate when it comes to the people who cross your path. It's hard to tell someone to suck it up, be strong and move forward when the same things keep happening over and over no matter how much they evaluate themselves. So I ask you this today, are some people just simply dealt a bad card in life?

Reimagining the Big Screen: How Palace Amusement Can Level Up the Jamaican Movie Experience

As a Digital Marketer in Jamaica, how would I revamp Palace Amusement? Here are some of my ideas: 1. The History of Palace Amusement - Create a campaign highlighting where the company is coming from, where it is now, and where it will be. Speak to grandparents who visited at the start, and have each group share their experience. Tie these experiences in with a film of the time. 2. The Love of Palace – Many couples have had their first dates at the movies, sparking relationships that blossomed into marriages and lifelong love stories. This campaign will highlight some of these real-life romances using a black-and-white aesthetic to evoke nostalgia and emotional connection in a visually captivating TV commercial, which will also be promoted across digital platforms. The campaign will culminate in an in-person event where couples with similar love stories will be invited to a special screening of the romance movie currently showing. Brands will be invited to partner in creati...

The Young are being murdered

The death of the young By:©Saccheen Laing I put on my uniform Armed with books I set out in search of a good education. Streets lined with the blood stains of those who fell on the way I'm determined to live to see another day But I have no control over those who believe they can have their own way. Armed with guns and knives They attack me, They assault me, They abuse me , Because they believe they have control over me Because of guns and knives in hand. In my hands I write my plans A singer, an actor, a doctor, a fashion designer or a police man I clench my fist as my blood runs to join those who fell before My plans remain in my hands Never to be realized I am young but that means nothing on this land. The blood of the young will replace the ocean that surrounds and beautifies the land How many more shall die before you answer when I ask why? My mother shall cry and bury her son before he becomes a man My brot...

New Look, Same Tastee: Creative Digital Rebrand Ideas to Revive the Brand Online

My first patty love was Tastee Patties, and to be honest, it is truly disappointing to see that they have failed to capitalize on and take the brand to new levels. In this blog post, I will break down some of the ideas that I would implement to revive the brand in the digital space to surpass what competing brands are currently doing. The First Bite In primary school, Tastee Patties felt like a reward; our end-of-week treasure after saving a few dollars from lunch money each day. That first bite was more than food; it was joy, friendship, excitement, and pure Jamaican childhood wrapped in a flaky crust. The First Bite Campaign will tap into that shared memory, reconnecting generations to the Tastee moment they’ll never forget, while also introducing younger Jamaicans to the brand in a way that feels timeless, cultural, and deeply personal. Tastee Canteen Makeover Challenge Tastee Patties has been a staple of school lunches across Jamaica for decades, sponsoring canteen areas and m...
