Okay-ish...

It’s almost the end of the day; therefore, I must write. Writing my daily content at the end of each day has become a routine part of my day.

​After dinner, I sit on our veranda and find one interesting part of my day or something I learned recently to write about. That’s how I write.

​However, here I am today, staring at my empty notepad page as it stares back at me. My brain is unable to put together an adequate sentence, which I could turn to paragraphs, and soon my page would be full.

​Today had been something else, and I couldn’t focus on being productive, yet I simply must write.

​Alas, I just remembered a shareable part of today. Grab your popcorn for story time.

****

So ​I had a confrontation with someone in the morning. I was vexed and hurt and walked away, put on the armor of nonchalance, and acted as though it didn’t bother me.

​Evening came with a wave of emotion, and soon the gravity of walking away dawned on me. And this ruined the rest of the day for me.

​I like to say we often do not understand the gravity of things when we make promises, when we do things and say things. We do not consider the ripple effect of these, and it's sad.

​Dearest reader, Happy Monday. How did today treat you? What is one routine thing that is part of your daily activities?

"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...

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 ...

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...
