On restarting journeys...

Image
Hello readers, I hope you are in the best state of mind today? I have recently been doing a lot of new things. Well, not new things per se. Some are things I have always been doing. But this time; differently. Moving on, I've been mending rules, looking for new ways to do things, new approach to the situations life is placing on my palms, and restarting journeys. Although, I am not transitioning into a new career. You already know I won't go into details but I deep-dived into it and I figured it takes a lot of courage and sacrifices to restart a journey and above all it is very very hard and tiring. This is why I am dedicating this to everyone transitioning to new careers, starting a new relationship, moving past pasts, trying to get healing, venturing into a new business. Shout out to everyone basically starting to do things differently; embarking on journeys they have never been through. Know that every effort you put is reflecting and the people can see. The chee...

Recipe for tough times

Image
Hello fam! glad you are reading from me again. In all honesty, how are you? and how's life? You know I've been thinking a lot these days... To be candid, I have actually been overthinking. One moment, I am busy. The next, I am thinking about everything and then my brain becomes jam-packed. I had to open up to one of my friends that 'I just dey craze dey go'. One even asked to know if I am okay. Lol, I told him to rephrase the question to 'Is your ment manageable?' instead. Anyways, I am fine. Although not letting anything overwhelm me much, I am doing well at that. This was the major reason I started thinking aloud. I made some tweets on Twitter; and then... The next I see is people posting it on their WhatsApp statuses. I did repost it on my status too though. Then, I started getting reactions from some of my friends replying that they feel the same way too. By the following day, I had gotten more interactions on it and people were just relating to ...

July Magic: A 29th of 7th

Image
Hi guys! It's my birthday today and I hope you say a prayer for me as you see this. To be honest, I wish I could launch a book or celebrate something great (a very big feat) alongside. But, we are here today and I am glad for life. So while reminiscing on my initial plans, I thought of the kind of book I would love to write; the thought has been on for a while now. A have some manuscripts. But it doesn't feel like something I want to let out yet; maybe not now, maybe never. Who knows.  I'd like it to be a book I'd want to read too; I mean a book that I'd feel the need to read if I wasn't the author. Because, of course, a book without purpose is a precious waste of time. So, I wouldn't write a book that I'd not read if I was just a reader. I'd like writing this book to be the escape I have always wanted. To take life by its balls and live it the best way that I can. To go for whatever I want, regardless of the challenges. I don't want ...

BETWEEN THE COVERS: BEYOND THE PAGES

'If you don't like to read, you haven't found the right book' --J.K Rowling Hello guys! Glad to have you here again. Let me steal this moment to wish my Muslim readers 'Eid Mubarak'. I hope you enjoyed your small holiday. Today, we will talk about books and how we find solace in reading them. Come along, Let me take you on an adventurous ride. Words, in perspective, are so underrated. But if well organized, have special meaning and power. It gives affirmation; assurance and takes us to the world of possibilities. Isn't that what everyone needs? Words matter. They give voice to how we see and give us the hope that we need. This is precisely what a book is made of. Books help me escape emotions and realities. It isn't just possible to live on the pages. I have a wide range of tastes. I love memoirs; especially those written by a woman. Lol. That's an added advantage. I also love to read about cultures. I read relationship-related books too....

A humbling Life (Love) exploit

Image
The idea of love seems to be a lost concept with a lot of people considering the disparity between  their words and their actions (when they say they don't, and when they act like they don't...they actually do) Hey readers,  I have missed you; apologies for the lengthy hiatus. First things first, this essay will be borne from my experiences, not just my lucid thoughts. A reason for this is for you guys to have an insight into my persona, what drives me in order to clear some doubts. The idea that real people get subsumed by love at the detriment of rationality was something I was entirely unfamiliar with but there is always that one person. You'd think you can't find yourself utterly consumed by another until it happens. You see, I have always avoided getting into relationships because I did not want to get hurt or have my heart broken. I saw what it did to people and I don't want any of that but like I have said, there is always that one person and chan...

To the friendship of past, present and yet to be

Image
Hi guys! It's been a moment. I trust I meet you well yet again. So long a time; yeah I know. Please, pardon my inconsistency. Your girl got a little too busy. The past months have been filled with final year exams and other shenanigans.  I signed out in February guys! (Smiles) And I haven't been more fulfilled. I should be counting down to convocation day now but ASUU and FG are doing the best thing they know how to do. All plans have been forced to hold again and it is honestly getting to me. Some you guys can relate too (as undergraduates), I know. God pass them. Our victory dance is coming soon.  In this post, I'd like to talk about friendship. Yeah... Shout out to friends who had shown me genuine love in the past and present. Shout out to the ones I will meet in the future too. Shout out to you too. You rock. 🤝 Those that know me know how deliberate I am about friendship. I also think we don't talk about friendship enough in this part of the world. Frie...

The Mirage of human relationship

Human relationship are not rocket science, they are far, far more complicated.  James W. Pennebacker. Happy new year fam, thanks for riding 2021 with me and I am glad it gave all the needful lessons, may this new year be more financially, morally and spiritually fulfilling. If you watch me slowly drift away and you didn't stop me, I'd blame you. Yes! It's your fault and I will explain: Drifting away (from you) could be because you don't reciprocate the kind of energy I send. And in truth, some of us won't give up until the last trial. These are reasons why I don't fancy second chances. I must have given all my all in exchange for a change and all in the name of chances. As much as chances are constant, change isn't relatively constant in this society anyway. So if I drifted eventually, I'd probably tried my best to make it work but you yielded no result leaving me with no other choice. The second reason would probably be natural; I am likely ...
