KEEP GOING KE?

Sometimes when the going gets tough, the tough just needs a break to relax.

Honestly, survival is like a full time job. It gets tiring and it hardly ever gets easier, we just keep swallowing a fist full of life every day like three square meals.

The point is, cut yourself some slack.

When the going gets tough, sometimes the tough needs pampering. Just a little cushion before the keep going continues.

There is this tale my pastor always tells. It is a video of a toddler learning how to walk from crawling. The baby is on a sofa and wants to jump to the table close by. Between the sofa and the table are soft pillows, so each time the baby reaches for the table and misses it, the child lands safely among the pillows.

With this advantage, the whole keep trying thing makes more sense right?

Now imagine the baby doing this with no pillows. Each time the child fails, the baby would hit the ground and maybe even get hurt.

So dearest reader, when the going gets tough, you sef don try. As you land on your own pillow after a failed attempt, just rest there small. Take a nap. Tomorrow we go again. Because it is the one who survives the storms of today that will enjoy the wins of tomorrow.

My dear, breathe.
If you do not have a cushioning effect like the baby’s pillows, create one for yourself.
Life is already tough, dont make yours tougher

"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 ...
