Humans Countless times I’ve heard people say what people think about you doesn’t really matter, because humans will be humans. If you are someone like me who thinks other people’s opinions matter, then we’ve got work to do. Whatever people think about you doesn’t define you. You know yourself and at least there is someone closer to you who knows you better. Don’t let anyone’s negative comment about you get to you. At the end of the day, it doesn’t define you. The moment you…
It is not meant for the public Nowadays, everything is being posted on social media. Do we still have private people at all? If we do they should be about 10% or maybe 5%. I’m a quiet and private person, and I love to keep friends who make their lives private as well. I believe if you are not an influencer who is being paid to showcase some products you shouldn’t showcase as well. When a lady fixes her nails, she’s ready to show it to us. When she gets a new phone or…
A day I will never forget Thursday, June 09, 2022 is a date I will never forget. On that day, time stopped for a moment. I was at my boyfriend’s hostel a night before, I planned on traveling home the next day. The day was a normal day, it ended quite fast. Around 3:27am in the midnight, we heard someone knocking at his door. It was his friend. He’d seen the robbers entering into his neighbor’s room. He stood up and opened the door and I heard them whispering,I couldn’t…
Don’t make such mistake Everyone wants more out of a relationship and everyone uses the word “Explore”, but please be careful before you lose someone important. Every guy want to use his masculinity to get girls. You want other girls around while you are in a serious relationship. You want to be like your friend, Uche, the play boy. You want to club with other girls and bring them home, forgetting that flirting isn’t for everyone. You can’t be like Uche because you didn’t…
Be yourself There was a time in my life I wanted to be liked by everyone. I would ask my sister to tell me what to say to some certain people just so I could change their narrative about me. At the end of the day it felt like I was wearing another person’s body. I just didn’t feel like myself. I was pretending to be liked by everyone. Most times, even the people I don’t like I smile to them and had to pretend I liked them so we could be friends. Be original with yourself, at…
Her body Kenny came to the shop yesterday to get a sanitary pad, but her countenance tell she was shy. The way she looked around to confirm if I was the only one in the shop before she could utter sanitary pad out. After handling her the pad, she said, “Could I get a nylon?” I said sure. After she left, I wondered why girls are always so afraid of their bodies. I use to act like Kenny whenever I get to the Alfa’s shop selling provisions across my hostel. I would go inside…
Desolation Desolation is a feeling of great sadness and loneliness. It can make you become many things including being obsessed with the person you are dating. If you are someone who doesn’t have much friends or you don’t relate with people then you will know what I’m talking about. There was a time I loved someone more than the way I love myself. If he doesn’t talk to me for a day or two, it used to be like I was going to die the next day. I felt like a bad person because…
Everyone has Different Timing Everyone has different timing. Be patient and live in the present moment. Don’t allow anyone to pressure you. This life takes process. Don’t run pass your time. Don’t allow anyone’s achievement bother you because yours is coming too. A friend of mine told me he wanted to get a car when we were in 300lv, first semester. He said if any money hit, Tee, I’m getting a car. I asked why and he said because most guys in our set already have. That’s not…
You can have both Since I got home from school I haven’t had much things doing. My Mom wakes my brother and I up at 6am every morning for devotion and as the last born, I get back to bed to continue my usual sleep till 9am. Sometimes, I try publishing an article. After that, I will do the chores and cook. After my bath, I read novels. I’m currently on “The thing around your neck” by Chimamanda Adichie. She’s one of my favorite novelists. There are different stories in this…
My best friend On this day, I was really late for chemistry practical. On getting to the laboratory everywhere was crowded. Then, I saw my class rep collecting money from some people, so I asked the girl standing next to me what the money was for and how much were they paying?. At first I didn’t notice her make up until I requested for her practical manual. This girl literally had time to draw her eyebrows and baked her face with powder and contour. I was shocked because we…
Comparison On this particular day, my Dad was talking to my Mom on phone. I didn’t know what they were saying but I could see her nod from the window. She called me afterwards to bring a stool for her, and told me to sit on it. She brought a blade out and scraped my hair. I didn’t know what was happening, but 10-year-old me was so obedient. My dad got back that night and told me to prepare for a common entrance examination as I will be going to one of the best secondary…
Positive mindset Having a positive mindset is the way to get rid of negativity. Always think positive. Try as much as possible to chase away negativity in your mind. Yes, it comes to mind. Sometimes you ask yourself, is it ever going to work out? Am I ever going to pass this examination or interview? No matter what happens, just make sure you replace negative thoughts with positive ones. For some weeks now, my business has been stagnant. But one thing that I have always…
