Hello October.

Acknowledging you 7days later is a little awkward...
I just noticed you.
You see these past weeks were not mine, I just got back.
I always wanted days off work; to have a time I call mine, lounging in front of a television
Eating anything I feel like without preparing it.
It never occurred to me that I may not enjoy it!
October, I was so tired of being weak and helpless, I was only looking forward to being better the next day.
Everything tasted bad and smelt awful...
That's all gone now. Just that I miss the reason behind it all.
I see you now October, and in the right shade too.
I see you clearly because I'll enjoy every bit of each day you label.
@kiah you are always an inspiration.

Happy Times

It's bed time; we both had a long day
While I was typing away, preparing reports, sending mails n stuff, you were doing your own thing.
Dinner was okay, we both don't know what it tasted like; we are too tired.
So we are on the bed, giving thanks to God for helping us through, hoping that our strength will return when we wake...we fall into the sleep we so badly crave...
The next time I'm conscious, I see you' ve been awake, your hands have been busy. My silly body responding....so we walk the road of pleasures. It's serious work o....we are tired again, now asleep.
It's finally morning; we are trying to exchange pleasantries before we move on to prayer , we decide to worship first....he's calling, I respond. We switch places a few times with the need to etch deeper into each other's skin...good thing it's a Saturday.
We worshiped a lot today.....why didn't I get married earlier? 


This little note of mine confirms to me that my waiting wasn't in vain and I will like you to keep this little secret "regardless of how tired you are, true fun finds its energy just like water can never be stranded.
Love rejuvenates, strengthens and heals. The cure to being tired is FUN, fun with your spouse, children,family or friends. 

So I Messed Up!

I haven’t delivered on my promises,

I just couldn’t follow through with it.

I messed up big time!

It’s hard to say this, but, I’ve FAILED!

You know, there are times you come across an information that you don’t seem to need

And all of a sudden, it the best thing you could ever know at that moment?

This is one of those times!

Someone once said, failure is not falling down or falling short of expectations,

It’s refusing to rise up!

So I’m starting afresh…and this time, I’m doing a lot of things differently.

Yours truly!

The Good in you...

Contrary to popular belief, stating the good you see in a person doesn't always make them heads grow too big for the cap...
So i'm wondering, why don't I do this often?
The answer is a portion of pride mixed with a teaspoon of non-challance, a perfect recipe for anything bad.
So here it is...
You are smart and swift; always able to get the best deals
You have a large heart, ever ready to help
You're warm and funny, the heart of the party
You're strong yet tender...

Love...the hard part.

It's been a while since I wrote, I've been scared.
It had to take something deeper to move me to write...
I wish it were excitement about something splendid,
or  tale too good to be true that I must tell cos its true...
Alas, its pain! Of all things, pain from Love.
Its like holding on to a red-hot metal, knowing you can't let go.
I learnt recently that Love requires sacrificing your emotion for that of the person you Love.
So I'm hurt, yet I can't take offence,
Pained but can't resent
Its a price I'm willing to pay though,
Cos without the test, strength can't truly be ascertained.
Love is patient, does no wrong, believes all things yet STRONG....

Girls that Inspire Me.

Some people have been on my mind...
They are good friends, though I haven't been really in touch.
Let me tell you about them in no particular order.
Damilola Ashaolu; She is bold, beautiful and has talent, listen to her sing and you'll be delighted
read her works and you'll be amazed. Dami is so current yet she has a way with African stories.
Dami is one of those that assure of the blessings of Nigeria.
Ifeoma Nwabudike; Besides her amazon build and super intelligence,
Ify's determination amazes the most. If Ify is determined to achieve something,
only God can stop her. Her self drive inspires me.
Olayinka Abidakun; what Yinka lacks in build, she makes up for it in her sense of focus,
her retentive memory is simply high-tech, she remembers people, names, numbers...just name it;
few people know what they want, fewer, go after it; Yinka is in an intersection set of both.

You girls rock!

Changes

Last night,
I was a child, I had no cares or fears,
If I had a need, dad would solve it, If I had a worry, mum would think about.
Last night, school was too much a responsibility, having so many instructors was a disadvantage,
staying home and watching t.v was boring,
Last night, everything was bright and everyone was nice;
a boy was just a playmate with different body structure,
when I looked at a girl, all I was looking out for is a smile.
Last night, the only work I knew was homework, my job description was eat, read and sleep.
I woke up and noticed I'm a fully grown woman!
I have so many things to care about; how I look n how I'm percieved;
I'm driven by what I expect of myself and what my loved ones expect,
when I pass by school children, I long to be like them; I wouldn't even care about the horrible color combination of the uniform I'm made to wear.
Watching t.v is now a luxury of time, looking good is a professional ethic,
Conversations with my Creator is a life-line in the very sense of it,
One particular guy makes my heart skip each time I see or think about him,
Its Morning though, meaning I have a blank cheque to have the best life,
with every breathe I take, I can choose to Laugh, Love and Live!
...cos in the end, that's all that truly matters.
