EVERYBODY IS TIRED.





In the words of OJ, every day comes with its own set of battles and is filled with uncertainties. 

Life happens whether you like it or not. So what keeps you strong when things go south? What rocks your boat?

Almost everyone is complaining this season; only a few percent are having it easy these days. With each day, the battle of wit not only takes our breath away, but it also becomes fiercer. 

Who else has been feeling so drained lately? Well, it's not only you. We are all tired in various ways. Some of us don't show it, some of us have beautiful facades that cloud it all, but indeed, we are struggling. 

I have been in contact with a particular person for a while now. I look up to this fellow a lot, and just yesterday he was explaining how he managed to get out of a huge depression. I was shocked because all the while we were together, I had not the faintest idea. 

Dearest reader, you are not the only one with issues. We are all tired and struggling. Yet, on those days when your world feels like it could collapse at any moment, and it feels like your personal guardian angel went on vacation and God isn't by His iPad listening to your overflowing prayer requests, take a minute to remember all the storms He saved you from. 

Think not only of now, but of all the times the guy upstairs (God) came through for you. In these tough times, don't panic; make your composure 100% because He will come through again.

"NOT ADMITTED"

Image
She clicks on the Whatsapp group chat,  Yet another "Congratulations, you've been admitted", with her heart heavy, she angrily leaves the group, minimize out of Whatsapp. There she is patiently waiting for chrome to load her admission status, this is the third time today she's logging into her jamb caps.  Her eyes almost eager with hope, she muttered under her breath, "God please" The network server makes matter worst by going sluggishly as she clickes "Regular admission status" she closes her eyes, hoping against hope, praying fervently, that this time it'd be different.  But it's not, because as she opens her eyes slowly, she's greeted with an arrogantly boldly written, "NOT ADMITTED", screaming at her. Suddenly the dam breaks.  Silently, tears begin to stream down her eyes, taking a rather familiar router via her chin.  The urge to throw her phone across the room intensifies, she wishes she could will her admission into exi...

TEAM WORK

Image
It can be quite frustrating when a collective effort results in only one person receiving all the praise. Even if my contribution is just 1%, it shouldn’t be overlooked. You never know how these small efforts can make a significant difference. My bubugaga is back from school, and today we did a lot of tidying up. It’s amazing how I suddenly find the energy to work when she's around, despite my usual laziness. After completing so much work, we took a break—we were honestly worn out. Fast forward to the end of the day: everyone applauded her for a job well done, as though it was solely her effort. It felt off because I felt I deserved some recognition too—it was teamwork, after all. So, the point is, you never know how hurtful it can be when someone's effort goes unacknowledged. No matter how small the contribution, appreciate it alongside the major ones. Dearest reader, do you find yourself annoyed like myself when your effort is overlooked in a team work?  @favvy_Ok...

LESS THAN ONE.

Image
There are days when my arms are too heavy to hold a pen, my brain too disorganized to put a sentence together, my thoughts an unending swirl of emotions. But then there are days—days when my smile can break through your screen, invade your life, and steal alongside your heart. Days when my excitement can be likened to that of a 2-year-old, where my inquisitiveness and curiosity know no bounds. Well, today is the latter. But like a poet I love once said, "Even if the light's turned on and my fears are not gone, I'll give it my best shot because the show must go on." So, I'd like to talk about something today: the idea of "LESS THAN ONE." But before we dive into this, allow me to tell you a story. ***** Once upon a time, I had a friend. You know that feeling of being friends with the girl every guy wants, so you get a lot of "Please help me talk to your friend"? In school, we had our lunch bought by different guys each day—one of the ...
