Tyler Wroldsen Releases Stirring Tribute Song for Miss Namibia Finalist Tuilika Andreas

Windhoek —

Namibian-born music producer and singer Tyler Wroldsen has unveiled his latest single, “Tuilika Andreas,” a heartfelt musical tribute to one of the 2025 Miss Namibia finalists. The track, named after Tuilika Andreas herself, has already begun generating buzz online for its emotional tone and powerful message of empowerment.

The song, which blends soulful vocals with a modern Afro-pop rhythm, paints a portrait of grace, resilience, and ambition — qualities that Wroldsen says he sees in Tuilika, who has emerged as a fan favorite in this year’s pageant.

“Tuilika represents more than just beauty. She embodies a spirit of strength, intellect, and purpose. This song is my way of honoring not just her journey, but the values she stands for,” Wroldsen shared during an exclusive interview.

Tuilika Andreas, 24, hails from the Walvis Bay and has become a beacon of inspiration among Namibian youth, especially for her advocacy in education and women’s empowerment. Her reaction to the song has been one of deep appreciation.

“I’m humbled and honestly overwhelmed,” Andreas said. “To have someone like Tyler create something so meaningful in my name—it’s the sweetest thing ever.”

The release of "Tuilika Andreas" comes just weeks before the final Miss Namibia coronation event, and many are speculating that the song may boost her popularity with the public and judges alike.

The single is now available on all major streaming platforms, and fans have already flooded social media with messages of support, using the hashtag #TuilikaAndreasSong.

Whether or not she takes home the crown, one thing is clear — Tuilika Andreas has left an indelible mark on Namibia’s cultural landscape, now with her own anthem to prove it.

Melancholy

 Melancholy 

by Tyler Wroldsen



No need to cry

It’s only right to try

Hoping the rope will hold

Like  seeking for gold

 

There is no way!

Those above will say

Your heart turns colder

Until fear is louder

 

Melancholy envelopes part of you

And all tasks become due

Desperate, you go again

This time, you caught the train

 

There is a flicker of hope

And now you get to cope

Later, rumors find your name

Tying on it, all the blame

Emotional struggles: the price you pay for being human

 Emotional struggles : the price you pay for being human by Tyler Wroldsen

Obviously I am not the only one who worries about unnecessary things. All of us I guess do it; somewhere in the deepest realms of our minds we are worried about five or more things. Things like; why did I do that? Does he really love me? Why didn’t Andreas reply me? Am I going to succeed? What if I am wrong? People don’t  understand me maybe? Maybe I was too rude to him/her? I dont care!??? A bazillion of questions go on forever in our minds. We struggle emotionally almost every minute. But I am glad we dont go crazy. Yes that’s  the cost of being human. 

You are a conscious animal so your mind will be preoccupied. Meditation might help reduce this emotional struggles but few people do it. Most of us are almost always immersed in thoughts...We are never in the present that is why we struggle so much emotionally. We tell ourselves so many stories that are untrue. Things like; this is not for me or I am always right and others are wrong or nobody understands.!?? This is crap and contributes to self inflicted emotional torture. 

You need to know that your greatest enemy is your own mind. Identify yourself in the most simplest terms without attaching any special strings to your identity e.g I am just a 22 year old guy. Full stop, the more you narrow your identity the more you going to be conflicted emotionally. The more you will delude yourself and make many excuses.

Okay fine, I know this is driving you insane but lets be realistic now. Why do we really ghost each other? Is it because we struggle with healthy communication or is it because we don't have the confidence to be honest with ourselves and others and hence communicate openly?

I have seen that ghosting is one of the leading cause of emotional struggles and anxiety and ultimately depression.

Please lets act properly and frankly , we deal with people who have feelings, lets explain our actions sometimes not just going silent all of the sudden with no proper known reason...thats bad my brothers and sisters. When you are doing it to someone, it may not be that painful, but when its done to you, it’s  excruciating.

All right, emotional struggle won't end but we can manage it and keep it minimum.

prepare for surprises

 

Prepare for surprises

Unexpected announcements will be made. It’s better to warm up for the unexpected. Life is very funny, you will think you know what is going on around you but let me slap you with some truth in your face. You will never completely know what will happen in the next five seconds. Boom! A little microorganism changed the world in a couple of months. You see, you never expected that. Some people will blame Satan or some will say it’s a punishment from God. Of course human beings will always look for a scapegoat. That one of our weaknesses, like Dantallion Jones has put. But I want you to be cautious. Most of the time the perpetrator is amongst us. So don’t rush to look at your haters with big red eyes and start to throw middle fingers all around.

            Relax, take a deep breath (I know you won’t do it but just…), and prepare for surprises. Most of the time you will discover that, it is the person you call your best friend or your girlfriend that is behind your downfall. I am not saying this is the case each and every time things go horribly wrong, but sometimes it’s the people around you that are playing hide and seek with you. Don’t trust people too much. A little sense of distrust or doubt is healthy. So I just want to assure you that, prepare for the worst, since you don’t have complete control of everything that happens to you. Always have a backup plan.

            You will be betrayed, you meet greedy ungrateful toxic friends or partners. Scrutinize the people you call your brothers, sisters, boyfriends, girlfriends or best friends. Because you may never know what they after. In some of your plans, you don’t have to involve anyone until you have put them into action. So with that in mind, surprises will find you strong, healthy and emotionally prepared and they won’t drown you into depression (like most people do).

Why we talk behind other people's backs?

 Why do we talk behind other people’s backs?

 

Most of us are really cowards. We may claim to have physical strength and a lot of power but mentally we are really weak. Don’t feel offended yet, I am still trying to come to the point. Let’s say for example , you discovered that I am a drunkard who wastes all his money on booze at the local bars and also squander a lot of cash paying a couple of ladies to have coitus with them. And now you are my so-called friend or acquaintance or a colleague, what would be your first reaction?

Trust me , for many people, the first thing to do is to laugh out loud and quickly run to their friend’s house and gossip about the whole day. Most folks will never like come to you and address your weakness. I guess in a population of 100 people, only 0.0001% will come to you and try to help you. The rest will only talk behind your back and make a joke of the week.

The easiest thing many people do when they figure out another person’s weakness is to tell other people about it rather than telling the person who has the problem. Astonishingly, this is a common thing, even grown up adults do it, teenagers do it everyday. But to be frank, talking behind other people’s backs fucks up most of our relationships. It is the root of all anxieties and mental health problems in most of our relationships. It is even the cause of most breakups.

I find it very simple, if someone has a problem, you tell him  and help him find a solution to it. It’s a piece of cake right.Obviously it is easier said than done. Yet many people feel like they will be taken to prison for simply telling you that something is not right. Hell! You wont be taken to gaol lady. Nothing will happen to you boss. Simply tel the person whats not okay and then the issue will be addressed.

I think the reason why we talk behind other people’s backs is because we are insecure. And another reason could be that we strive to derive pleasure from other people’s bad circumstances hence we endeavor to publicize them. More-so,  It could also be that we are afraid of being honest. We don’t want to confront the truth most of the times because its scary and painful. We are therefore afraid that other people will think we are bad people. And another thing is that feeling of superiority you feel when another person has a problem that you don’t have. So gossiping about it makes you yourself feel special and the other person trash.

But we are fools when we think it only happens to others. It happens to everybody. And everything has happened before like Marcus Aurelius has said. So it can happen to you or to your kids as well.  The same circumstance that the other person is with currently dealing with, might be the same circumstance you will be dealing with two years from now.

So instead of being afraid to tell the person, you need to know that talking behind their back is ten times more harmful than telling them directly. If someone has a problem , the first person you should tell is that person with the problem, not somebody else. So lets stop being cowards and stop gossiping behind other people’s backs. Tell the person, they wont hate you bro, as long as you are polite and you are willing to help them then it wont be a big deal. Stop it please and promise yourself not to talk behind other people’s backs anymore.

The five societies of life

 There are five societies of life. These are basically five groups into which every person can be classified into according to their character and habitual actions. These societies are, the insecure society, the remorseless society, the wandering society, the meaningful society and the correctional society.

The insecure society, these people have no confidence in themselves and they spend most of their time looking for validation and approval from other people. They often doubt themselves as a result, they become anxious in their reckonings. They often think other people don’t understand them hence they are always afraid to say or do what they want to do. They are really insecure about everything going on in their lives. These folks often compare themselves to other people and sometimes they compete in silence.

The remorseless society, is a society that does not care at all. They have no pity or mercy for other human beings. They do whatever they want without considering other people’s feelings. They spend most of their time fighting, stealing and engaging in dishonest activities. These people have no remorse at all. They insult, kill and injure other people. All in all, they intentionally cause other people to suffer.

The wandering society is composed of people who spend time seeking for pleasure or fun. They feel bored most of the time unless given something to do by another person. These people indulge in activities like moving from one drinking pub to the next each and every day, surfing online social platforms almost each and every hour and engaging in endless gossip chats. They lack purpose and are haunted by their inner emptiness. All they do is wander around, going wherever other people are going. They do things simply because others are doing them. This society lacks intentionality.

The meaningful society is the purposeful society. These people are aware of the meaning of life. They spend time doing things that benefit everyone. They solve problems. These people only care about what is important to mankind. They don’t mind about what other people think of them. They have daily routines and their actions are always intentional. They are confident. They have values and do things the way they fancy.

Lastly, the correctional society is made up of people with chronic problems and as a result most of the time, are separated from the rest of the world. These include people with long term prison sentences and patients with chronic conditions. These people spend most of their time alone, contemplating about their problems or being cared for so that they can live a normal life again. This society is composed of people who spend most of their lifetime at correctional institutions like prisons, hospitals and rehabilitation centers.

These societies of life teach us that, it is us, ourselves that sometimes make life complicated. Our character will determine our destiny and the meaningful society is best among all these societies. So in short lets gravitate towards meaningful actions, beliefs and plans that benefit everyone and we will have better problems. In this classification of people into different societies we also learn that if we live life with a purpose and focus on the present we will find life worth living.

Why human beauty is an illusion

 

Why beauty is an illusion by Tyler Wroldsen

 

Long time ago when there were no mirrors, it was really hard pointing out whether another person were ugly or beautiful. That was because no one really knew how he looked himself. When you don’t know how your own face looks, then it becomes difficult to judge another person’s appearance. The invention of mirrors, brought us the most dangerous concepts to our existence, beauty and ugliness.                                                 

    I still remember that day in high school when one naughty boy from our class wrote all the names of the ugliest girls in our school on the chalkboard. It was a terrible thing isn’t it? Just imagine walking into the classroom and find your name written on the board. And on top of it there is headline saying you are the ugliest. You might feel offended and alienated after all, especially when you care a lot about what other people think about you. I think such kinds of classifications should totally be forbidden in our societies because they are futile and false.                                                                                          

    When mirrors came into existence, we now started figuring out our self-image and started comparing it to those of people around us. That image of ourselves that we see in the mirror, over a long period of time, we fall in love with it more than anything else. Then we treat it like the ideal person and we start to expect everyone to be shaped that way. Our own images become a gold standard against which we compare everyone that we see.                                                                                                                                   

    Now here comes the bias, when we see people with completely different facial features from ours or different from those of people around us, we call them ugly or beautiful. Over time we develop a mental abstract image of our ideal self: the person that we should be rather than whom we currently are in terms of appearance. When you see someone who looks similar to your ideal self, you start calling them beautiful and vice versa. So far I have never heard anyone saying he or she is ugly. So beauty is not just a perspective, it is an illusion. That is why you find people disagreeing whether something is beautiful or not. Beauty does not exist, all our skins are made up of stratified keratinized epithelial tissue.

Fear of Rejection

Fear of rejection

Two  men were strutting along the country side. They were friends but they were complete opposites of each other. One man was a coward yet the other was courageous and confident. But fortunately they all had one thing in common. The two men were all in their mid forties and none had a wife. They were all single but living the bachelor life was not a cup of tea to the duo. As they were walking in their village, they caught a glimpse of two women collecting firewood

"Let's go and propose to those two beauties over there?" Said the confident man

"No what if they reject us ? let's not accommodate rejection at all. I am not going there, I am going home. I don't think they will accept us even. Just go alone!" murmured the cowardice man.

"You Know what my friend, fears are nothing more than a state of mind. rejection is a normal thing and you don't have control over it. and know that cowards die many times before their death dates!" The confident man pontificated  and went over to the women who were busy collecting fire wood. The coward went home instead of following the confident man's advice.

Ten days later, the cowardice man went to the local pub in the evening and found his friend walking holding hands with a gorgeous, voluptuous woman.

Fast or Properly? By Tyler Wroldsen

Do you believe in love at first sight?

For us to have good relationships, we need to be committed and invest our time or our energy into them, for things to work out. There is unhealthy love and healthy love.

Unhealthy love - Two people using their emotions for each other to escape from reality

Healthy love - Two people helping each other become better people. They both support one another and they understand and trust each other. They have similar values but they can have different interests from one another

Don't fall in love too fast, because good things don't come by falling. relationships shouldn't be one sided liabilities, everybody is responsible and accountable to make things go well. There is nothing like the person who was meant to be. How long have you been waiting for Mr. Right or Mrs. Right? I tell you mister if you are waiting for something like that, then you will wait forever. Know that with proper help and guidance your partner can become a better person and the relationship will keep on improving.

In  a relationship, you will always encounter problems and it you have the responsibility and accountability to solve them instead of ending the relationship. Stop running around, moving from  partner to partner, hoping you will find the right person, Get committed to one person and then you will find happiness and freedom. You are the one to change for things to work out.

Good luck!
