CHILL! THE RESULTS WILL SHOW




I never kept my fingernails.


Not because I don't like long nails; it's just that they found their way to my mouth at any given time—I'm telling you, my fingers have minds of their own.


I'm sad, I bite.


I'm anxious, I bite.


I'm scared, I bite.


I think, I bite.


And the funniest, I'm hungry, I bite. Please don't judge me, and I won't do the same.


So, because of these claims, I didn't fancy it until a thought dropped coupled with a little threat. I decided to keep my left pinky, More like a little experiment.


Arrgh!


The frustration that came with keeping it kicked in. Mere staring at it brings triggers the urge to bite.


I was so anxious.


I even asked myself if it might be nice cause I won't even lie. I was scared. Yeah, insecurities kicked in.


But something in me kept calming my heart.


Fast-forward to this moment, I wonder why I didn't keep them all these while. Though, on average, it came out beautiful. I never imagined my nails looking all permed and sleek.


For more understanding, I uploaded pictures of my left and right pinky. 



My left pinky

My right pinky


I know, I know. Either way, they're beautiful๐Ÿ˜.

 I'm just trying to paint a picture.


Biting off my fingernails had become a habit, but because I wanted to see change, I decided to challenge myself in a little way–but eh, I dey challenge myself o๐Ÿ˜‚.


You've put in the effort. You've given all it takes. You've added the necessary one percent, and finally, you're in the waiting period.


Speak to your mind and say: Be chill. 


Eventually, everything will fall into place.


Most times, the period of waiting makes people engage in decisions that can be disruptive to their already processed process. Trust me! The period is filling. Strenuous and stressful activities knocking back and forth.


It is important to note that you should indulge yourself in the things you love during this period because na person wey dey alive, dey see the better tomorrow.


So in as much as what you hope for tomorrow may seem huge, the little today should be protected, not minding the obstacles.


Oh well. We'll all be fine regardless.


Be of good faith and keep your chin high.


Till next time,

D.

IMPERFECTIONS

Have you ever gone on Social media, particularly WhatsApp and decide that you'll use a few moments to just go through statuses. You come across things that make you cringe, some make you happy, some make you sad and some brings out an ugly head that will just weaken your mind and break your self esteem. Very crazy indeed. From there you start asking yourself questions that can either build you up or bring you down. Everytime I create a new post on my blog, I go through a lot of doubts asking myself if it's good enough or if people actually read what I post or if it even creates a spark in someone's mind to keep pushing (Pushing P๐Ÿ˜‚) and guess what, if the negative thought supercedes the positive, I'll just tell myself, "Wo, just give up abegggi" and to think I actually do it๐Ÿ™‚. There's this song that lives rent-free in my head. I heard it from a Disney cartoon I watched years ago. "Look at me,  I would never pass for a perfect bride Or a perfect d...

DON'T HOLD ON!

  My decisions are mine and mine alone, even when influenced by others, I'm still the one with the final say. I'm still the one who decides if I want to go or if I want to stay. And so it kills me when such decisions bring about an emotion that won't give me a chance to breathe. That won't give me a chance to move. That won't give me a chance at life. Regret. Basically, we're looking at regret in context of the past i.e in things we wish we had done. Subtly put, Wishful Thinking. To regret means to feel sorry about something, to be remorseful.  It means that regret comes with a deep kind of sorrow. When we feel sorry, it means something went wrong or haywire.  It means there's a pain deep in your hearts knowing that if you went back in time, you would definitely change the turnout of things. "Assuming I just listened, I wouldn't be in this state". This is the sound of someone who feels sorry for themselves for not doing something or taking acti...

THE WORLD OF A MAN

There's this silly saying that "Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus".  Very funny. But looking at it from a different point of view, you'll see that it's actually true.  Mars is the fourth planet away from the Sun and it's really cold and unfortunately that's how the world sees them.  Cold-hearted...  Cruel   Heartless    Insensitive     Inhuman Only one gender. Not easy yeah? Have you ever wondered why the antagonist in most romance novels are women? Or why both male and female authors dwell so much on them (women) like there's only one gender on earth? Well it's easy, men are a whole lot complex species. In this little time I've spent on earth, I've had my fair share of interacting with them and trust me when I say they're easy to understand I'm a totally different way. As a child, I watched the way my brothers were treated, quite different I must say. Although I am the most senior out of all my siblings, my dad...
