Happy New Year. So, this is like a break from my relationship posts hahaha and I want to wish you all here a happy new year. I know a lot of people might not under all the whole excitement about the new year but I do. It's okay if some people are not excited about all the euphoria about the new year because of how last year went. It's okay not to be okay with what everyone is okay with. You are not strange, you only need a new perspective. A new year signifies hope and…

Dating and Academics. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/young-couple-sitting-on-lawn-in-park-and-having-meal-10602143/ A lot of people, especially students feel a relationship isn't for them. Some even think they can't combine both but I beg to differ. Well, this approach might not be one size fits all because as individuals, we should know ourselves better to know what works for us and what won't work for us. Some people get easily distracted and would never want…

Dating and Academics, II.

Have Fun... It's Okay. It's only one life you have and you've got to live it. Of course, everything is in moderation and I told @Jane how much I love her simplicity yet she is always looking absolutely dashing. She is modest and I absolutely love that. Most people by now know that I am an indoor person and it would take extra care for me to step out of my comfort zone to do something but I got to understand that it's okay to ease up a little and just enjoy. Life is about fun…

Please, Run. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/man-and-woman-in-brown-leather-coat-standing-on-brown-soil-984946/ Relationships can be tricky and I am a practical person. In as much as I am hopelessly romantic, I can be very practical and most people understand this and that's why they sometimes ask for my opinion on things. It's good to sample opinions sometimes especially when you don't know which part is leading you; your head or your heart. I have massive…

Not For The Fainthearted.

Please, Run II. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/silhouette-of-unrecognizable-man-running-on-sand-at-sunset-6151866/ I shared a few days ago about the experience of a lady with guys who says their relationship is "complicated" just because they want to eat their cake and have it. You can read about it here: Please, Run. https://read.cash/@Olasquare/please-run-fee38824 I shared the link on my WhatsApp status and a guy read it but he told me he would love to hear…

Wife Material? Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/woman-wearing-pink-collared-half-sleeved-top-1036623/ I've ways been very careful in using some words but then I believe in hearing other people out to be sure to get their message. I have to admit that I have used that phrase many times too but mostly in jest when a friend did something, especially a female, I tease them and say they are wife material and their wife material is more than 1,000 yards. Over the years I…

It Doesn't Revolve Around You. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/a-woman-standing-in-a-revolving-glass-door-7311300/ I find it amusing when people focus too much on themselves but one thing they don't understand is that too much focus on yourself is a sign of low self-esteem. You know when the product is good, you don't need to convince people too much. I am not saying it's a crime to focus on your self and that is why I stressed that TOO MUCH focus is bad. You…

Unrealistic Expectations. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/confused-businessman-checking-time-on-wristwatch-3760810/ I want to believe that we all have expectations where some things are concerned. It all starts with the little things because there are some things we would never compromise on and that's fine. There are some houses you wouldn't want to live in, some cars you wouldn't even think of driving and some people you decide not to associate with. We all have…

You Can't Love Without Giving. A friend of mine shared with me this morning how a comment she made on Twitter was completely taken out of context. She was trying to say something in addition to what the first tweet said but obviously, most people pushed their projection on her, taking her tweet completely out of context. Indeed, poverty has made many ladies believe that once their boyfriend doesn't give them a significant amount of money then it means he doesn't love them.…

If There Was Any Justice In The World. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/judgement-scale-and-gavel-in-judge-office-5669602/ If there was any justice in this world, then I don't think it's resident in Nigeria. Money moves most people and it's shameful that we have reduced ourselves and humanity to be bought with money. Nothing is valuable again, in fact, lives are not so cheap that you can take it and go free. What has the world turned into? I know every country have…

Cut People Some Slack. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/hands-people-friends-communication-45842/ We don't know what a lot of people are going through even with the tough choices they have to make but we are always quick to judge people from the surface without understanding the life they have been exposed to. A lot of people enjoy pointing accusing fingers at others but when they are presented with the choices of others, they would do worse. We live in a world…

Love Is Not Enough Again. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/person-holding-multi-colored-heart-shaped-ornament-3738057/ Everyone knows I am a firm believer in love and would always tell people to wait for it because it is worth waiting for. The cure for a broken heart is still more love and we can't do without it. There are varying kinds of love but there is joy in knowing that the person you love also love you the same. It's shameful that for some, love is never…

Nigeria, My Country. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/people-protesting-on-the-street-5789323/ My country is a funny one and I can't stress it enough. It's funny how the outside world sees us because of the kind of image we have created for ourselves. Some individuals like most Nigerians are trying to create a better image for our country but we are being overshadowed by those at the helm of affairs due to the growing influence they have and the global attention…

Life's Observations. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/people-sightseeing-on-mountains-9943053/ A lot of people think they know it all and that's why they won't even ask another person for help even when their life depends on it due to pride. The first step to humility is knowing that you don't know everything. You have to consider your limitations and admit them before you can understand what you need to learn to get to the point you desire to get to. We all have…

Rant: Decisions. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/young-troubled-woman-using-laptop-at-home-3755755/ Life is about growth and when some people have proved to be incapable of growing you just have to let them be. They will learn when they are ready because you cannot force growth on anyone. We used to say that you can force a horse to the river by the virtue of your direction but you can't force that horse to drink water when it doesn't want to. That applies to life…

Bending Is Okay, Breaking Is Not. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/woman-in-orange-dress-standing-on-ground-4219918/ I read the story of a wonderful man on **Hive**, **Galenkp** and while he was explaining the story of how he sometimes found himself in a dark place, he stated that he always manage to bring himself out of it because he got to understand that there is nothing like perfection. That's right. I gave my comment on it too and we exchanged another comment…
@Olasquare
Love Thyself. I feel a lot of decisions we make stem from the fact that we don't love ourselves as much as we should. A lot of people need to make better decisions and yesterday while engaging with someone on the comment section of my last post, she said something which I have also shared here before now. I shared that conversation above and you can understand where I was coming from. I promised her yesterday that I would write about it and I hope everyone would join in on…

Balance. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/balance-macro-ocean-pebbles-235990/ There is a way life would make you grow up whether you like the lessons or not. There are lessons you can pick everywhere too but you have to open up your heart to learn them. One thing I noticed is that we always allow life to pass us by because we are sometimes scared of taking risks. Risks cannot be taken away from life's equation. Have you ever been with children before? Do you see…
