Hi Starsss!! 🤍💥 I can’t believe this is our first convo this year. I’ve missed you guys so much 🥺 So… what have I been up to? Honestly, I’ve been drawing in from everything around me — unfolding stronger versions of myself. And yet, the child-like version of me still pops up every now and then, grinning from ear to ear, taking risks, cramming big drug names, and getting to know more microorganisms than macro-organisms (thanks to Path and Pharm). Send help, plssss 😭 And you? How are you doing? I hope you’re actually meeting more macro-organisms (actual human beings, for clarity) instead of microbes — don’t be like meeee 😂 I guess we all did Basic Science at some point in primary or junior school and had to learn about microorganisms. You know — organisms that can’t be seen with our naked eyes except with the use of a microscope. Like… why were they stressing us with things we can’t even see? And why did some people decide to make such a big deal out of it and turn it into an entire...

Beginnings may not always be loud. Sometimes, they are calm, steady, and intentional. Hey, my 2025 Stars ❤️✨ How are you doing? Are you already preparing for crossover nights? Making new year plans? Writing resolutions and vision boards? But before all that… Have you counted your blessings yet ? Lately, I’ve been enjoying this trend where people share what they are grateful for in 2025 and beyond. And beyond being just a trend, I see something deeper — intentionality and accountability . You might not need to set up a ring light for yours, but we definitely all have reasons to be grateful for 2025. Dear Stars, this is God’s will for you: Regardless of what 2025 brought — triumph or trial, gain or loss — choose thankfulness.  When you align with God’s will in this area, you position yourself for blessing in every other area. Today, practice " in everything ” gratitude. Not just for the good times, but for the hard ones too. Now… speaking of which, if my 2025 wrap was a movie,...

  A little birdie says- There is a sweet gift at the end. ❤️🥺   Hey Starsss ⭐. How are you doing—no, scratch that—how are you shining? Lol… (P.S — Someday, I will share the story of our name change from Sweet Dreamers to Stars.  If you are new here, welcome home, and do well to read other amazing pieces.) It’s been a while, and truly, a lot has been going on that made the pen take a pause. Consistency is a game changer, yeah, but endeavour to give yourself a treat when needed — that’s a retreat. You feel the lines today, right? For some reason, I was beaming with smiles while writing this. Not because it’s been a perfect day, but because I had a perfect meal tonight. Lol… e no matter wetin you dey go through, try chop fess. Much more than a meal that brightens up the soul, one priceless thing that has helped me smile through the year despite everything is: the gift of men. Kai, how could I really have scaled through those low moments if I didn’t have the amazing ...

Hey sweet dreamers, Are you feeling light like a feather or heavy like a sandbag? Lol… whichever it is, walk with me please (don’t faint on the way ooo 😅). Here is the tea☕ So, I was having a discussion with my bestie recently, and she mentioned how I had lost a significant amount of weight since I transitioned to medical school. Well, those who know me physically would agree — thanks to medical school shege ! Don’t worry, there’ll be no before and after picture here. Lol.    Reflecting back, I realized that I didn’t only lose some pounds — I also dropped some weights. These weights were emotional baggages that held me down and pulled me back. I remembered how I used to hold on to emotional baggages and how I learnt to gradually let go of some habits, relationships and unnecessary pressure. The lightness and secure peace that came with this ' weight loss' is something I’ve never felt before. Haha… sorry to disappoint you if you were expecting some fitness tips or real g...

            " ‎Fọ kàn ẹ balẹ̀" Those were the words that stilled my troubled heart exactly three months ago. You might be wondering what really happened. So here is the tea. Earlier this year, I had applied for an opportunity and I was really expectant that I would get a favorable response.  I did my research and made sure that I put in my best efforts.  I really wanted this so much and I prayed fervently for it .  But guess what?  Instead of a congulatory mail , I got a rejection mail. Whewww This was not the first but it was the most painful.   The feeling of rejection was really hurtful and the sadness on my face couldn't be hidden on that day- infact, I didn't want to fake it.  ‎I was literally tired of pretending and smiling that everything was fine.   ‎ ‎Like a deflated balloon, my faith was drained and I fought back the tears that were threatening to pour. I didn't want to lose my steeze in public but ev...

  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...
