Beautiful Woman

Dear Shalom,
Here are ten things I hope you never forget. 
1. Late is man-made, there will always be time for all the good things. Awon Yoruba maa n so pe "omi ti eniyan ba ma mu, koni shun ko ja eni"
2. Change is inevitable, get used to it.
3. Your purpose is bigger than any physical thing, achievement or endorsements, your purpose is spiritual, do not step out of it. Wake up, run, work, eat, sleep, grind, repeat, is endless. Stay with what is eternal. 
4. You're beautiful, and it's not that kind of way, that one that seeks to massage egos, it is a radiance that is bigger than what you can control.  Be confident in it.
5. It's OK if you want to leave this and go do something else, you'll come back to it again once you can.

My favorite name ever is Shalom, my parents must have had foresight 😊

XOXO

I'll tell a story, it's what I do anyway 🤷‍♀️ It's a really long story but hopefully, I'll compress it to a single blog post. September 2012, I had just resumed 100 Level, 10 days after resumption date and I had one friend that I knew from home, she was basically the only person I knew from my set. I was a shy, awkward and reserved being; I hardly spoke and I had bad mouth odour 😭 (I think I also didn't know how to brush properly). There was this igbo girl with ugly bootcut trousers and weaves that my new course mate Ebun, described as "mad woman's hair". I soon discovered that this igbo girl was my classmate,  which was the reason I saw her that often. I also discovered that igbo girl spoke really smartly when she opened her mouth, (which was frequently),  and she was the king of sarcasm. In a short time, Igbo girl, myself and my other four friends bonded. Her name is Chinomnso, with all the "Chi's" in the world. Today is her birt

LIFE'S UPDATE

It's been forever, I know😑. Well, as much as I want to have content here (it is actually important that I have much content here), I really don't want to force this. That's another day's headache though. Let's get to work, I hope you've been well. The month of July is coming to a close, frankly it's TRUE time waits for no one. I remember ending 2018, I wrote goals. I think that no matter how cliche it might be taught as to write goals, knowing what you want to do, and documenting it is the first step towards achieving them.  I wrote goals, and I got into the year troubled, January was filled with tears guys. My dad wasn't okay and he was crying on a steady, I was too😭. When I was younger, I couldn't wait to be an adult, and earn my own money, Nigeria must have been like 😏😏 when I thought like that. Nobody told me growing up meant my own parents were growing older too, older😭. I couldn't leave my parents that way so I stayed back to rea

WHAT IS GOING ON?

Hi guys, its been a while, again. I know. First, I must confess that my post title does not necessarily have a meaning per se , I just thought of a random heading that might  draw your attention lol   be used. How are you  doing? How's life, how's all that matters to you? How has your year been too? On this side, I've been doing okay, I guess. About three weeks ago, I asked for opinions for a series that I was going to publish here, and I started one, really. Then, I lost someone dear to me and mine. I wasn't sure I wanted to continue writing, or if I felt like writing at that particular period, those were days of grief, memories and of course, family. I almost wrote a tribute here, but I also was not sure it would be appropriate. In my tribute to him, I promised to write a book about his life, he lived a selfless life. I plan to get due permission from family, as the  title and its framework and theme are all in my head. I thought of why people generally express
