memoir; 2017

-

p.s; this was written super super early in the year.

Hello from the other side


This is my first write up. It is supposed to be for the New Year but apparently, procrastination is one of my bad habits, unfortunately, I carried it over to this year.
   I personally believe the best way to get the full view is looking from on top "life can only be understood backward but must be lived forward." thus my writing of my 2017 in 2018.
Anyways, 2017 started out pretty much sad for me. I was confused about a lot of stuff emotionally. I was facing my first real breakup and not because I wasn’t interested anymore but because something bigger than us came to play. We couldn’t be together because of distance. Who knew geography could be such a big deal. I always advise and talked about how time heals wounds but I faced it firsthand. From not being sure I could be around our favorite spots to actually going there and smiling. Instead of being sad over what I lost, I actually appreciated what I got to experience. A love that actually consumed me no matter how short-lived.
    I met new friends, the type I always wished for. I always loved having a male friend, there is something about that. I met this one special friend, who no matter how I do not admit actually knows me. Like his palm😊😊😊, I guess.
  I also met the type I could never imagine myself being friends with. Too strict, nice ones, rude ones. I don’t know what is more surprising. Seeing yourself getting to enjoy what you never dreamed of enjoying or being happy when you never thought you would.
Since my first year, I had a friend that stuck close like a sister. I lost her due to geography(again). And well, I’m not so good with the long distance. But yet again, knowing that despite how far, I still care for her and love her makes me feel grown in a special type away.
A very wise friend of mine always told me about how we could fall in love Several times, funny when I heard it I argued with so much passion. P.S; never try to convince a girl in love that she can fall in love again. It won’t make sense to her because it can’t possibly get better. So I could say I got into my most mature relationship- in 2017. Where I realized that it’s not all about the good times but about making it work.
in general, 2017 was hella a year. It definitely had its up’s and downs. I lost things, I lost people, I cried and I laughed more times than I can remember, I met people, discovered that some people just end in certain chapters, some main characters seize being so main characters because their role has ended but the story continues. 
Be good to me 2018.

Dating a feminist

*DUSTS COBWEBS* I'm sorry for the disappearance guys.. Hey TBL squad, I have really missed you all so much 💓. "A feminist" is a word that when mentioned just immediately rubs people the wrong way, i start hearing statements that genuinely makes me confused. "i believe in equal rights but abeg, I'm not a feminist" "feminism is about speeches not action" "i don't want to be called a feminist, it seems like i am a fighter." and so much more. today I'm here to debunk all the myths pertaining being feminist and most especially how dating one should feel like. When asked who a feminist is; some people automatically think, it's a group of angry women who hate men or some wannabe woke woman  or a millennial woman who wants to be above a man. what better place to educate feminism if not a Boss lady blog. So here we go TBL Squad, stick with me as we discuss the common misconceptions and practical applications of feminis

The cherry not The icing

Hello TBL squad, The road from church had this T-junction, the route  home was on the left while Mr Biggs was on the right. After service when we got to the junction, my dad always asked left or right, even when he knew the answer already. we always shouted right with so much joy.   When we chose our cake for Sunday brunch, I picked based on how attractive the icing looked not caring the flavor at that moment or if it had a cherry on top or not. The icing is what makes a cake really attractive. if various vanilla cakes are kept on a stand, with vanilla being your best flavor, you'd pick based on how pretty the icing looks.  The cherry on the cake is that extra finishing, the final toppings, like the twinkles, or the maltesars on top or the Oreo's.  Take note, that without the cherry, the cake is still very much a cake.    In my excitement, I probably wouldn’t have  noticed a cherry-less cake but of course it won’t hurt to have the cherry. Now imagine a cake with

Intern!

ÓMÓ BUTTER IN THE STREETS! As my third day being an intern, I already had a routine. Wake up by 5:00 AM, work out for 15 minutes, start making my brothers breakfast finish like about 6:30, go and bath be ready by like 7:02 AM, then the driver takes me to work but of course the third day just had to have a twist. Woke up later than usual due to some work assignments, so I was leaving the house by 7:20 AM hoping to be able to beat any traffic that I may see and get to work before 8:00 AM or few minutes past. Like about ten minutes away from home, which is quite far already due to Abuja roads but not too far because of early morning "Go-slow". We were in traffic, I was on my laptop trying to finish up on my work assignment when the driver tells me to wear my seat belt because of the road safety officers that were in front. I tried to be sly about it, I honestly tried 😅😅 but it wasn’t good enough because the road safety officer still  stopped us. The man now started going o
