"You Can Do It"

Story story!

Two years ago today, I got the instruction to start writing every day. It felt impossible, like "where I wan start from." I even tried to come up with a logical excuse to give to my coach, but oga was not buying it. I had to start with immediate effect.

I still remember my first content vividly, "Life is hard, go deal with it."

My coach was of the opinion that I could do it. Myself? I did not really rate me. I could not see it, but I obeyed regardless. Fast forward to now, today marks another milestone.

Today for me signifies saying yes.
It was a "Don't think, just do" kind of moment. And to be honest, if I had not undergone a few months of training under him, no amount of motivation or believing in me would have resulted in actually getting the work done.

Two years ago, I said yes without thinking.
I said yes with no idea how to pull it off.
One thing I learnt from this scenario is that you are really never ready. You will never know when you are ready. There will always be a point in your journey where you are pushed to let go of your inhibitions and just start. The meaning and the essence will come in the journey.

Dearest reader, merry two years of daily expression to me.

What have you been delaying because you think you are not ready?

Mind you; you don’t just jump into doing it, there's a level of training needed, after that? Hell yeah, don't think, just do.

Came across this quote, it says "We do not regret the things we do, what we regret are the things we never did".

"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...
