CHRONICLES OF LADY AVA : Conviction Will Carry You


Ava counts as the laziest person I know, because tell me why she is always looking for where to sit in every gathering. Madam cannot stand for more than two minutes. We often joked that she must have been an old woman in her past life.

That is why when she picked the ushering department in church, it was shocking. My first reaction was, "Do you realize this requires a lot of standing?" But Ava claimed it was where her spirit led her.

So, every Sunday she would go through the routine of complaining about how much her feet hurt, and we called it her karma. Imagine Ava, who cannot stand to save her life, now willfully standing for hours. It made me realize how much you can do once you firmly decide to. Yes, it can be difficult, but have you seen someone truly set on something? Someone determined from their own conviction, not the type that comes from others persuading them.

Dearest reader, I greatly admire the zeal and audacity it takes to commit to something that is not your strongest ground. One thing I’ve learned is that with conviction comes the strength to carry on.

P.S. Ava still cannot stand long to save her life sha, but during service, madam can stand till daybreak.

So, what have you decided to do despite yourself? Beyond your comfort or your nature, if you truly wanted, you could pull off almost anything.

"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 ...
