  Hey, Sweet! ❤️       How are you ?    Hold on, I don’t want that lie - “I’m fine”.  Maybe not totally a lie but it sounds more like a faster excuse or response given to quickly round off a conversation.     But sorry to inform you that this conversation is going nowhere until we settle this matter.             This is probably the most frequently asked  question answered in milliseconds without given much thought.                          That is because we have  ready- to- use templates on our lips that is often not a true reflection of what is going on the inside. And honestly, it is what it is.             We are all busy people with businesses to mind.                 Life is 'lifing', honestly.      Hence, it really...

  What if all we ever needed was a PUSH?    Let me share this quick backstory.      Earlier this year, I needed to take a break from extracurricular activities to focus on my professional examinations.     One that took a lot from me and taught me a lot as well. It was my first ever professional exam in medical school and I have been gisted that it was no child’s play.    Of course, there is  time for everything and I knew that I had to set my priorities right. I had to let go of my “love” - writing and creating beautiful pieces for a while.       I told myself, “Don’t worry, you would be done in no time and you would have enough time to do other things.     Don’t get me wrong ; I love my course and my chosen path despite my daily rants and countless “God abeg”. Lol!  But I’m allowed to love more than a thing right?      God has deposited so much in us to limit ourselves. So, my dea...

  Tik tok, tik tok, tik tok.... The clock ticks and with every passing second, we take a step further to fulfilling those visions, goals and resolutions written in our diaries, notebooks, stick notes etc.    Just like me, I am sure the beginning of this year felt like being given a book with empty and clean pages. Another chance to rewrite our stories, erase unpleasant pasts, tear up pages of hurts, create beautiful memories, document  our wins, put together missing pieces, highlight strategies and ultimately, make God the author of the story. After all, we are nothing but pencils in the hands of our Creator.         Yeah, we never saw all we experienced from the beginning of the year to this moment coming. As myopic beings, we couldn't even predict what could happen the next moment. We live in FAITH; hoping for the evidence of things not seen and believing in better times that are yet to come.    Seconds became minutes, min...

'I want to be free' 'I can't wait to be independent' ' I am tired of being tossed back and forth'  ' I need freedom'.  These are probably words that you will find when you search our young hearts. Of course, we are old enough to make our decisions. Right? But the question is : are we wise enough to make decisions that we won't regret eventually? Most importantly, are we ready to bear the brunt that comes with daring the consequences?     Freedom is like allowing us to spread our wings and fly without limits just as limitless as the sky is. Freedom is like allowing us to test new waters and swim as far as the depth of the ocean.   Freedom comes with a whole new level of excitement. But the truth is:       During the flight, there would be times when strong winds would blow and your naivety might get the best out of you. You might have to rely on previous teachings (in this concept, words of our parents, teachers, mentor, role models) to navig...

 There is a thin line between strength and weakness; happiness and sadness; health and sickness; trust and betrayal; riches and poverty; life and death. Just like two sides of a coin, life has its 2 separate ends.As we live,we get to experience both the sweet and bitter side of life.  Writing this made me to remember how my energetic self that was assisting in a medical outreach team some days ago was groaning in pains and feeling sick days after. Irony of life right? Lol      Another relatable experience is how your favourite person or bestie could later become a stranger due to betrayal or life changing decisions.The deadly blow that keeps me in check often, is how a living being could become a lifeless body the next minute. Exhale 😤       Life is not a comedy however it presents funny experiences that leaves us with lessons to be learnt and indelible marks as souvenirs. As we live each day with so much vigour as young chaps, aspiring to be a...

     Every beginning will definitely have an end. October is gradually saying its goodbyes and what better way to send it off than writing a beautiful piece to brighten up someone's mood? Yeah right, hey beautiful soul! 😍  I hope you have read the last post on " Insecurities: defining your identity ".  Oh, you haven't? Pls, go back and have an enjoyable read. If you had, thank you.  I hope it made you feel better .    Moving forward, absolutely no one can make you feel secure as yourself. It is all about accepting yourself, lavishing yourself with love and investing so much in yourself in order to become the person you want to be.        Overcoming your insecurities ushers you into a phase of self-discovery where you get to know more about YOU. You will be amazed of how much potentials embodied in you.  You have not even started to scratch the surface of your wholesomeness. You have not started digging the well of your g...

  Hello, Champ❤️🏆! It's a cool evening over here and the breeze is so gentle in one's skin. I enjoy quiet moments like this ; peaceful yet simple.      My thoughts drifted to a point in my life that was not so calm and blissful because my nerves were constantly irritated by what people thought or said. I had no specific clue of what that phase was then. However, it's clearer now that I am standing on the shores looking at the waves that once troubled me go farther away. It was all about identity crisis.       DEFINING INSECURITIES   In simple terms, insecurity is a feeling of  uncertainty or anxiety about oneself; lack of confidence.   It is important for us to know that insecurities are not limited to certain age groups and situations.  This feeling stems out of so many factors as we transit from from phase of life to another. It's perfectly fine to be imperfect; that's why we are humans. Insecurities are magnifications of our im...
