It’s the 30th day of October, 2018 and I can’t help but review how challenging this year has been.  In as much as I haven’t ticked off all my goals for this year.. yet, I have to say I’m definitely better than I was last year. I’m in a better place: physically, mentally, psychologically, spiritually, emotionally, financially etc  THAT’S THE GROWTH WE’RE TALKING ABOUT. You can choose to be thankful for the little things e.g (which is not so little, lol) or beat yourself down because you didn’t make it (on someone else’s scale). It’s hard to not notice how ‘fake’ this world is but in all your realness, you deserve a drink for making it this far. The good thing is.. we have 2 months left. You can decide to make 2018 your best year so far... or not. I’ve made my decision. What’s yours?  Don’t forget to share (don’t be selfish, someone needs to see this) and subscribe 😊 Also, don’t forget that you’re special and you’re deeply loved. Peace ✌🏼 

Today was different, as different as different could be.. I went to bed around 1:50am because I just had this urge to pray and as usual, later on, waking up was a chore for me. I woke up a few minutes past 8am and the Sunday morning rush began.. Lol, I wore my perfectly laundered white gown that has black floral patterns on both sides, I love this gown. It didn’t stay very white for too long though. Different. We had breakfast and somehow I preferred the eba and vegetable soup my dad was eating to my yam and stew and as if in protest, the fish from the soup didn’t make its way into my mouth successfully. It ended up on the floor after leaving a very prominent stain on my gown, I picked up my fish and still ate it. Lol. And I still wore that gown all the way to church, just because. Today was different, every single hymn sounded different and with a whole new meaning and when I looked from the choir pew at the congregation, every face had a whole new expression, every smile looked more

I no wan die  I no wan kpeme  I wan chop life  I still wan turn up... *deep breath* I woke up frustrated today and filled with so much pain at how hard it is to express myself these days. How bad could it really be?? How many times do we have to repeat the same cycles? How many times do we have to fall into these same traps. I’d repeat it one more time for those who have been finding difficult to understand, those who have said things they can’t back up, those in fear of death and if I should say this and it falls on deaf ears then my people, you have yourselves to blame for the doom you’re about sign up for. Yes! And don’t say you don’t know how to avert it cause it’s this simple: 1.) You can’t be a leader if there’s no one to lead 2.) Go back and read no. 1 3.) Read no. 2 again Thanks for reading smart people of Nigeria... I’m home sipping on hot chocolate ❤️
