DON'T REMAIN IN OBLIVION




I had so many episodes this May.


By episodes I mean challenges, especially for my character.


I know I have many flaws, but it irks me when people try to talk to me regarding how to handle them because I feel naked. Like they have stripped me of my clothes and cast me into the market square.


Pretty embarrassing.


Well, I gave it some serious thought because in the end; I carry over ninety percent of the effects of the bad habits I exhibit.


I'm the direct hit, so if I don't change or turn a new leaf, I'll suffer.


So I took it upon myself to identify the bad traits in me and it'll surprise you to know that they're so many😩.


I used to think I was an okay human, one without stress because "I no too like wahala", one who smiles and waves and is quite nice to everyone until I examined myself.


This is how some of us come to conclusions about ourselves and without thinking, we feel entitled to some things because we think we're nice.




You expect good things to come your way because you think you're good, meanwhile you don't see what they see. You're blinded by yourself, by an overpowering ego.


Examinations are important.


Without them, you remain in oblivion.


Since I made this decision, it seems like every day is a test for me. 


It's like my eyes are now open to see the things that'll push me to act out.


I've fallen so many times, but I know I'm also learning. 

I will get there.

You want to be a better you and you can.


Pick out those annoying traits and make a plan to address them.


I have to stop here. 


It's been a whirlwind of a month!


School really showed me her true colors.


Money left me hanging.


People became busy.


But I survived and so will you because God dey!



Till next time,

D.

Believe

Hi guys😊, I'm back from the very long break and I guess I was greatly missed 🤭. So our topic of discussion today is Believe.  It is a cure to fear. For those of you who remember, in our last session,  I said we are going to deal with how to overcome fear and voila, here we are.  Believe simply put means having faith in something or someone. Our focus is on believing in yourself and I mean you. Like I said before, Fear is a negative vibe that distabilises humans. So we can see Believe as a Positive vibe. Most times the human mind is weakened by what it sees, hears or feels and so it needs to be tricked into believing it can overcome. There was a particular time in my life when I just felt like I couldn't take it anymore. I just couldn't control what was happening in my life. To be sincere, I was scared of living. I came in contact with a friend who was living life like it will end the next day. She made me realize that there's nothing to be scared of especially since I...

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 P😂) 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 it🙂. 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...

Reality Sucks

 Yes Yes It sucks and I mean it.  Most times, we can't come to terms with happenings around us. We tend to dwell more in our minds and heads, not really caring if we are doing it right or not. I for one know what it's like prolly because I wallow in fantasies a lot but then if you keep on drowning yourself in your thoughts, you're paving ways for depression. Let's all come to terms with the saying that nothing lasts forever. Reality brings you out from the fantasy wall you've built into a world that's uncomprehending. This topic came from a thought in my head and boy did it take me a while to find words to give birth to this piece. For the first time since I started this blog, I had a writer's block and that's when it dawned on me that nothing is actually perfect. Things don't go smoothly all the time. Your reality might be scary, weird, blurry, confusing but that's what makes it reality . It's not a bed of Roses. In reality, shit happens. In...
