READY OR NOT?? 😓

Image
Hi, welcome!! I just remembered a conversation I had with someone sometime in school and I thought it's worth sharing. There is this young lady I met,I can't really remember what we were saying prior that but it kind of lead to marriage talk. I asked her what she would like to do after school and she said,"marriage is the next thing". I was still trying to process what she meant by that really and she asked me the same question. I told her I would love to do my masters, take some professional exams and ultimately do something productive with my life and career. She just looked at me strangely like what I said was impossible. She said that is too much for a woman and that would scare off a man. I was just left in awe that someone in this age and time thought like that. I gradually kept my distance from her because I wouldn't want someone with that kind of ridiculous mindset around me. I wouldn't want to attribute her reason for such a mindset to her geographi

NEW MONTH SHENANIGANS. 😌

Hi!! So excited to be writing here again. I know I promised to post some of the stories I have written but I'm really battling procrastination right now. Help me!! 😥 Happy new month!!  This is August and I'm like, "were we not just saying, Happy new year some time ago". The year is super fast and I'm sure it's because we don't have much doing (speaking for myself). If i had school and all going on right now, I will probably not be writing here. But it's a very terrible thing happening around the world. I really hope we have been keeping safe because I do need all of you at the end of this dark tunnel 😀. Also, I never really fancied this month. To me, it was a "boring" month. But then, someone special is born in this month so now it's kind of special to me . So this is a birthday shout out. 🤗 To those born this month, I pray God blesses your new age.  Just recently a big reality show started airing and as usual it got terrible backlash.

WHO MISSED ME? 😅

Hello my beautiful readers. I have been so lazy this couple of weeks and I just keep procrastinating about writing a post. The funny part is that I have lots of contents I have written just for me to edit and publish. But now I'm back!! I have really not been doing much while away. I have really just lost the vibe for school, like I'm done. I still have thoughts of school reopening and how I will cope if school just miraculously opens but with the way it's going, it's "peace till next year ✌️". I have being writing some short stories and I would love to share them with you soonest.  I have been planning my life. I'm sure you're wondering how I am doing that in the middle of a pandemic. But I have realised life will still go on whether we like it or not. This phase will pass so you have to be ready for it. Also I'm a habitual thinker, I am always thinking of something, like literally. The woman I would become, my success, primarily my future. Some t

THOUGHTS 💭

At a certain point in our lives,we just want to be happy. Happy with ourselves, happy with our relationship with God, happy with our family, happy with friends, happy with everything around you. It's at that point we get temptations, for me, I guess. You question yourself so often that you doubt your own self,your abilities and weaknesses. You wonder if God is really with you or he's letting things to fall in place for our good. Family becomes estranged or something just doesn't suit well with everyone. You feel your friends are distant and don't care. In fact, you feel alone fighting with your self and everyone. But, the idea was to be happy. At the end of the day, you just have to relax and stop over thinking things. Things will surely fall in place for you. ❤️ Do things to take your mind away from such negativities and just do you. Also don't forget they may also be going through worse so don't be quick to label them, "mean". So be patient and l

SIMPLE WAY OF MAKING A PANCAKE WRAP!! 🤤🌯

If you're pancake lover like me, this post is for you. If you also what to try something different, this is for you. I will just give you all a background story, although some may see it as unnecessary "okoto" but I will still do so, you know why? This is my blog!! 😀 I was going through Twitter and I stumbled on a Nigerian chef's page and I saw different types of mouth watering dishes. I was just bookmarking and saving the pictures for future purposes. Then I saw a pancake wrap and it looked very appetising and of course because I love pancakes, I checked the ingredients. I realised I didn't have all the ingredients readily available but I still saved the picture. Fast forward to this morning, I am like the unofficial breakfast cook in my house because I wake up before my other siblings. I just decided to make the usual pancakes that I usually do. I was sieving the flour and my parents were having a discussion and my dad said something,"necessity is the m

BREATHE OF FRESH AIR 🌬️

 Hi there 😀, hope you all having a great day. I remembered I didn't wish you all a happy new month. So here it is, HAPPY NEW MONTH 😇!!! I am not so used to posting about that and all but now I have to because I'm interacting with you, my readers (I'm thinking of a name to call you all 🤔). I'm actually grateful for life because with all the the going on right now, one can loose their mind. This past weeks has just been super nerve racking. I was actually overwhelmed with all the things that has been going on in the world and also in my personal life. Sometimes I would just cry myself to sleep because of built up pain and anger. It kind of helps me in a way, I feel lighter when I cry. It's like I'm crying away the bad energy(lol, if that's a thing). I realized the stuffs I read on social media especially on Twitter triggers a lot of emotions in me so I just stopped checking such things. I also listened to some slow calming songs(I recommend gospel son

TALES OF BEING FEMALE. 😐

Image
I'm just really pissed by a lot of things. I have read so many cases of rape on the internet so much that it's just really irritating. The worse part is that some people are trying to justify the act. Right now being a female is a huge struggle. You don't blame people that say they just want male kids. They know the way life is difficult for females. In this society, females are expected to live within some constraints. Telling females to do things in the right 'way" so as to be pleasing to the society. How about we teach the male counterparts the same things. "Don't be too successful, no one would marry someone that is more successful than they are" "Don't be too ambitious, you won't have time to be a wife and mother" "Don't dress in a suggestive manner, they will rape you" So many "DON'Ts" that I can't even remember right now. It's like we are meant to please everyone else without thinkin
