One thing I’ve always struggled with is having multiple interests. For the longest time, I kept trying to figure out that one thing I was supposed to choose and specialize in. That one skill I should pour 100 percent of my attention into, especially for the sake of monetization. But I never arrived at that one thing. And honestly? It sucked. I hated myself for it. I felt confused. I felt scattered. I felt like I was doing life wrong. But then I realized something. I didn’t create me, I am a lot of things, I am layered, i am diverse. I am infinite in interests and ideas. Why should I shrink myself to fit into one box when God made me with many colors? I will hop on every chance at an adventure. I will explore every passion that calls my name. I will jump on ideas without fear. Because we rarely regret the things we do. What we regret are the things we never tried.And monetization? It will find me, abeg. As long as I keep expressing all that I am. Dearest reader, if you’ve ever felt pres...

EVERYBODY IS LYING.

Yes, you read that right. After watching over 14 episodes of How to Get Away With Murder, I’ve come to this conclusion. In the words of Annalise Keating, “there’s no truth in the courtroom, there’s just your version of what happened versus theirs. That’s how the justice system works. It’s not what’s right or what’s fair, it’s who tells the most convincing story.” The truth is, there is more than one side to every story. There’s the head, the tail, and the edge. To truly understand the whole story, you have to sit on the edge, where you can see both the head and the tail clearly. But most times, we’re either facing the head or the tail. That’s all we see. So when someone else tells their side, it sounds like a lie to us, simply because it’s different from what we know. And maybe they're lying. At the end of the day, it’s not really about who is lying or who isn’t. It’s about what you choose to believe. You're always choosing to believe something. And that’s one scary thing I’ve ...

Another Friday to end the week with a kinda day that almost took my life… mehn, today was wild. But then again, nah, today was terrific. The laughter, the smiles, the shared moments and all were even more than the down moments. But then again, the brain tends to remember the gory details because we don’t let them go easily. I can count over 7 things that made my day great and made me happy, however I can’t count more than 2 things that ruined my day. I lost an important possession, and one little thing didn’t go as planned. Funny enough, those two small things almost overshadowed everything beautiful that happened today. That’s how the brain works sometimes. It takes one tiny bad moment and stretches it till it feels like the whole day was a mess. It zooms in on pain and blurs out everything else, It replays the wrong and fast forwards the right. It’s called negativity bias, the tendency of our mind to cling to the bad stronger than the good. Even when happiness showed up plenty, one i...

Hey there!

Did you know that some people living with depression and anxiety continue to function normally in daily life? They go to work, attend school, laugh with friends, and carry on with responsibilities like nothing is wrong. This is known as functional or high functioning depression and anxiety. That’s the new thing I learned today. I find it fascinating how someone can be sunny, bright, and lively like every other day, while still battling so much internally. Because they appear fine on the outside, their mental health struggles are often overlooked or even dismissed. Often when we hear the word depression, we think of something very extreme. Many people imagine depression or anxiety as constant crying, staying in bed all day, or having a sad and downcast look. But the truth is, depression does not always look loud. Sometimes it looks like showing up every day. Sometimes it looks like smiling through pain. Sometimes it looks like being productive while breaking silently inside. The real de...

HAPPY MATRICULATION…

Image
To me🥹. Today was such a profound day for me. It stood for something and meant so much. At some point today, I caught myself saying, “Damn… it’s actually happening. And not in one of my silly fantasies. It’s real. And it’s actually going well.” If you got into uni on your first or second attempt at JAMB, you might not really get it. Dearest reader, I matriculated today. And it’s something I’ve been looking forward to and hoping for, for a while now. It wasn’t perfect, but it was mine. It was beautiful. Cheers to this new chapter. Cheers to everyone stepping into a daring new season they’ve been praying and hoping for. Congratulations 🎉. It will all work out. I’ve quava-ed. I’ve fought. And now I walk into a new season God has prepared, ready to become even more and express even more. #WhatItFeelsLikeToWalkWithGod #Quavah #IAMs @favvy_Okwansđź–¤.

Me and my friend were having one of those exhausting, draining days, the kind that makes you want to just collapse and complain about everything. We found ourselves lamenting, venting, and honestly feeling a bit lost in the weight of it all.  But then, almost like a sudden wake-up call, we looked at each other and said, “God has helped us o.” And in that moment, we truly paused and saw His faithfulness laid out before our eyes. All those little ways He’s been holding us up, even when we didn’t notice, suddenly it all made sense. Life has this way of moving you from one season to another, and each season comes with its own unique set of responsibilities, challenges, and trials. Sometimes, the load feels heavy, like it’s just too much.  But really, these trials aren’t just obstacles, they’re part of the becoming. They are shaping us, stretching us, and teaching us patience, strength, and resilience. There’s a kind of beauty in this journey, even when it’s tough, because it’s all...

"Maturing is realizing and owning your inadequacies" X You are enough and at the same time you are flawed, we all are. As we evolve and grow daily, we have got to not just acknowledge our flaws but also own them.  What does it really mean to own one's flaws? Owning your flaw simply means accepting your weaknesses, mistakes, and imperfect parts instead of hiding them, denying them, or pretending they don’t exist. When you own your flaw: • You stop blaming others • You stop making excuses • You become more self aware • You give yourself room to grow Funny enough, the moment you accept a flaw is often when it starts losing power over you. Dearest reader, You don’t heal what you hide. You heal what you own. You are not merlin, you have flaws and fault lines, acknowledge them and intentionally work on them, and give yourself room to grow.  Ciao @favvy_Okwansđź–¤.
