TODAY WAS DIFFERENT

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 radiant. I wasn’t the only one feeling it.

Today was different, different in a way that’s difficult to explain.
Today was different and I hope tomorrow is too, in a better way ❤️

Have a lovely week ahead, you are deeply loved ❤️

SAIL!

I'm sitting on the floor in my bathroom, this is the first time I've been inspired to write in months and like you'd guess, I'm inspired by blinding pain. All my life, since I can fucking remember, I've wondered why some certain people treat me a certain type of way. For years, I couldn't get answers so I tried to fix something I didn't have a clue about. At 20, I'm here wondering if all the soul searching, quest for answers, zeal to breakthrough and all I had to go through were necessary. I'm surrounded by lies! Lies everywhere! I've beat myself up for so many years for what wasn't my fault and while I'm relieved I wasn't at fault, I'm utterly bewildered. After all these years, the people I've fought to protect have been lying to me. I don't know how to feel and I know this doesn't make any sense but I'm this close to losing it. This close.

THOUGHT SOMEONE MIGHT NEED THIS 💚💚

You will never have anything figured out and it might sound harsh but thats how bitter truth is. Don't beat yourself up when things don't go as planned cause that's when things get interesting--- being able to survive it all but really what do we have to lose? We'd all die anyway. You'd not know until you stare death in the face that now is all you have. Maybe when you understand that life is a journey and not a race... but answer honestly, what do you really want? Thinking out loud... I really don't know who needs to hear this but, Live, love, laugh .

You Can 💯

Isn’t it crazy? How you can actually do and be anything you want to be? About two years back, a friend of mine decided to learn how to draw and all she had was google, a sketch book and a pencil. She looked crazy to me but now she draws exceptionally and she gets better everyday. She decided to learn how to sew and again with just google, a sewing machine and a few materials and soon she’d be launching her first line clothing line. Crazy yeah? I decided to work on my “not so amazing” voice and in the past year I’ve made so much progress, people don’t scowl when I sing. I have a few acquaintances who use “everyone is doing it”.... Have you ever been to market?? How many people sell pepper? Puhhhlllleeeaaaseee... Uhm, what was your excuse again? You can do whatever you want to as long as you put your mind to it. I wish I had started learning how to draw two years ago, maybe I’d be quite good now but we’d never know and why? Cause I didn’t start in the first place. Don’t be like me, live!...
