Serendipity

Many are the obstacles and while we try, sometimes we need just one break!


I would have loved to continue writing about writing your own love story, but the desert that I have been circulating in is not fun, and the promised land seems to be more of a mirage than a reality.

It is said that if life throws lemons at you,make lemonade,but for me it's acid. I'm trying not to be a complainer and adhere to the year's theme of putting 'God First',but y'all that is so hard.

In one prayer meeting,a prayer point was suggested that everybody should pray for Job's resilience.Do not be hasty and look for other options,but press on in faith.

So what do you do when your whole world crushes down?Finances are strenuous?You are probably at the end of your rope;relationships are not working out,in the process your health decides to fail you.When everything you touch turns into Lot's disobedient wife,stone.

Bad week is only hilarious on TV,in real life,the walls echo with your screams of rage and your bedroom floor is filled with pools of your tears.C'est fou la vie.

But then,I remembered that life does not always turn out the way we plan but it's not always that it shortchanges us.Yes,God causes all things to work together for the good.

Okay,I haven't achieved what most people my age have,college degrees,their own cars,living on their own,some have status(*tounge out*),some espoused,and I?,Bear the scars of lessons taught by the School of Life.

But then again,I would not have been where I am,or be who I am, had my life gone the way I planned.If my life had gone according to my plans,I would have been a stuck up, spoilt introvert.

But I appreciate the little things,I'm humbled by praises,I understand humanity and my heart has never been as big as it is,even with what's left of it.

Serendipity is when a misfortune turns into favour or greatness.My growing pains turned into poetry in turn I discovered my gift,having my child made me alive,purposeful,a heartbreak made me a performer and rejection is going to make me travel all over the world,because of opportunity.

Life sucks a whole crate of eggs,but you can make a fire,pour some oil in a pan and fry them.

Joseph became governor of Egypt and fed two nations despite being sold off by his brothers. Napoleon is one of history's great leaders despite his short stature. Einstein was a scientific genius despite failing academically. And Oprah Winfrey is a media mogul and world icon despite coming from an abusive childhood.

And tomorrow, I will be the brightest diamond ever to shine from Africa despite being the stone that was rejected.

Serendipity.It's not so bad....

P.S: Always write your own love story.(This is your life,and the title is,'This Is My Story....')

Ciao!

That's Not My Portion

A man  needs to take responsibility of his own healing and growth... We all have different love stories that we are writing. There is no formula of how we fall in love or love. At times we can’t help whom we fall for although we can choose whether or not to love them. For healthy relationships, we look for a partner who brings out the best in us. A person who is patient with our flaws but doesn’t allow us to get away with bullshit behaviour. We demand and give respect to partners who love themselves enough to show how they will be treated and loved. In turn we take notes from Eleanor “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.” There is room for growth in visions and maturity in character. “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. -Eleanor Roosevelt” If we have an understanding of ‘love’ why is it that we shortchange ourselves? I decided to end a ‘relationship’ because it didn’t look or feel like a ‘relationship’. It was more of me being ...

5 Inexpensive Dates in a Bad Economy

If he's making the economy an excuse, swipe left.... A guy who makes too many excuses whilst pursuing you is not worth your time. He will make excuses for not making time for you. More so, for not taking you on a date. A real man makes a plan...all the time! Yes, the economy is atrocious...a complete nightmare! Does that mean that humanity stops? Y'all,  we have procreation to continue until the end of time. A season of a recession, shouldn't hinder dates, relationships and the whole nine yards that come with that package. Couples over centuries overcame obstacles such as family feuds, classism, racism, tribalism, religious differences etc. They all found a way around those challenges. Any guy who uses 'in this economy' as an excuse is dropped like a pin. Honestly, such an individual lacks ambition and creativity. I want the flowers, chocolate, and the date. Otherwise...skrrr! You will have to show innovation in your pursuit. If you can't be strategic w...

Just Another Monday!

 Looking at my nails and how I’ve made a meal out of them… I need a break! The past three weeks have been extremely exhausting to say the least. I decided to come to this platform to somewhat, somehow distress. Writing is often cathartic even to an absent audience. I’m just tired! Sections of my skin are eczematous and I even suffered a breakdown last week. God, I wish it were hormones but it’s just being overwhelmed.  I am tired – physically, financially, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. I have nothing to give. That empty jar that cannot pour out anymore. I’m sometimes emotionally numb…. I just want to sleep and never wake up. I keep absorbing the negativity from my timeline on social media. Unfortunately, it’s my job to be online. With my skills I have to work triple in curating and creating content. In short, I’m online all the time. But it’s depressing me. You know how baby boomers describe millennials…I’m that millennial! And with that said it makes it even more dif...

How I Met Your Father

Always write your own love story... So here I am painting my story on a canvas. Today I decided to do something slightly different. While I binge-watched the entire first season of "How I Met Your Father," something dawned on me. As a fan of the original "How I Met Your Mother," I was curious if the spin-off would match up. The series stars Hilary Duff, Christopher Lowell, Francia Raisa, Suraj Sharma, Tom Ainsley, Tien Tran, and Kim Cattrall. Cattrall plays the 2050 version of the protagonist and narrator, Sophie. She recounts to her unseen son the events that followed meeting his father in January 2022 and how they ultimately had him. Fans are shown Sophie, played by Hillary Duff, and her group of friends in New York City's Manhattan. The 10-episode series shows how these 20- and 30-somethings maneuver through their disastrous dating lives, assumedly post-pandemic. Here I am, using my imagination to create universe versions of "how I met your father."...

Better The Devil You Know...

No intentions are still intentions and usually cruel intentions! 'Little Miss Muffet, sat on a tuffet, eating her curds and whey.Along came a big spider,who sat beside her, and frightened poor Miss Muffet away.' For those who are tracking with my MPVs, you are acquainted with the infamous Mr. X, (the one who epitomises Taylor Swift's 'Trouble'). What I never mentioned was the 'rebound' after Mr  X, (I should have known that, higher levels, come with bigger devils). The Devil. Yep, he has reincarnated himself more times in my life than I can count. But to be honest, despite what everyone thought, I preferred Mr. X,(in a twisted way, he is a 'good' guy). Better the devil you know, right? You see, after I cut the umbilical cord from Mr. X,(though it was a boat going nowhere), I went all Rihanna, (Do not judge. How do you, nurse a broken heart?) Anyway, during this period, not even bothered about moving on, or searching, I met a wolf in sheep...
