BE YE AUDACIOUS..

One thing I realized recently is this: once you truly set your mind on something, things begin to align. It’s almost like the universe responds to conviction. Opportunities show up. Help shows up. Strength you didn’t know you had shows up.

Just put your mind on something. Decide. Even against all odds, decide.

There was this particular thing I wanted to do. I had no idea how it would work out. It looked like a lot. It felt like a lot. Everything in me kept asking, “Who sent you?” But I told myself that this year, I will do things that scare me out of my mind. So I signed up.

No long talk.

Mehn, it was hard. There were moments I questioned myself. Moments I almost backed out quietly. But I held on to the possibility, even when it looked impossible. I kept telling myself, “It will work out.” Not because I had proof. But because I chose to believe it would.

And somehow, it did.

Every time something tried to scatter the plan, something else would fall into place. Every time fear tried to shout, courage would whisper, “Keep going.” And I did.

At the end of it all, it worked out fine. More than fine actually. I had a great time. I grew. I stretched. I showed up for myself in ways I never had before.

And let me tell you something, it’s one thing to plan to show up for yourself. It’s another thing to actually do the showing up. To choose yourself. To bet on yourself. The satisfaction? I cannot even explain it. It does something to your confidence. It shifts something inside you.

Dearest reader, this is your sign. Do the thing that scares you. Apply for it. Sign up for it, start it, speak up, try again.

Be audacious. Even if your voice shakes. Even if you are not fully ready. Growth lives on the other side of fear.

Go for it.

You just might surprise yourself.

"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...
