GIANT IN ME

Image
By


In a very busy fast changing world surrounded by very busy and constantly occupied people, I tend to forget myself. It is like everybody is trying to get my attention and then confusion sets in. I'm in a technological time sink bombarded by voices, information from all angles that leads me to cut corners and get things done the easy way all the time. I want to just relax and go with the flow.... you know.... just hang out, have fun and chill out. But just at that point, the Giant in me cries out for attention and I can't help but respond. The Giant in me cannot allow me settle for second best, cannot allow me wallow in mediocrity nor get carried away by the voice of 'easy does it'. The Giant in me won't let me sit still. All of a sudden there are so many things I want to do, seems like my heart's about to explode.
I want to explore the world like a meteorite shooting out. Even when I want to just stay low, the Giant in me won't allow. He keeps pushing me out to the very edge of my comfort zone. He gives me a rumble in my soul and would never let me say never. That's why I know I can't be like any other. I am confident to step out because the Giant in me is alive, loves me enough to pick me up when I fall. The Giant in me is all I could ever ask for because in him I know am secure.
Maybe you know him by now, maybe you don't but am sure you need him too. So in the midst of chaos and uproar, am at ease because the Giant in me is in control. You know, there's more to life than increasing its speed cause the race is not to the strong or the swift. I press on, cheering the achievements of colleagues but not dwelling on them. I'm running on my own track for competition is the mind set of slavery. I'm a winner on my land became of the Giant in me and above all, HE LIVES!!!

Musings of a Young Dreamer Girl: PERHAPS

By
Just like this picture, we'd want our lives to be prim and proper. But fortunately it doesn't always turn out that way. Why fortunately? Well, perhaps, there's a possibility that we would sink into a routine, running around in circles, never going back but yet never moving forward. Perhaps, there would be no aspirations, no dreams, no hope, and what is a man without hope? Dead. Perhaps, we would then rest on our oars and pride in the fact that we made it happen all by ourselves. This is seemingly possible as man has always tried to play god, most times to his detriment. Maybe the problems, the challenges, the bills, come so that in the process of dealing with them we bump into our purpose, our reason for being created, our existence. Perhaps they come that we may realize the endless possibilities of faith, increasing by each victory. Perhaps, the untidiness of a partner or the unruliness of a family member would teach us to love even when we do not feel like it. Perh

DEAR FUTURE HUSBAND

By
Dear future husband, I've been awake trying to imagine what it'd be like to live with one person for the rest of my life. I don't know if I've met you already, I just wonder if you also think about living with me. I watched The Wedding Party for the third time today and it gives me the same feeling each time. I definitely want to have a dream wedding, which girl doesn't? So I beg you please be responsible. I really hope you're doing something tangible with your life cause am trying my best here. The only thing that scared me in that movie was Broda Banky still asking how he could stick to one person for the rest of his life on the morning of his wedding. Pls I'm begging you in the name of God, figure that out before you even engage me. I cannot come and be crying and be running up and down on heels for that matter. But then am also learning it's more than just having a dream wedding but having a happily ever after marriage. I believe it exists but we b

Welcome to Naija

By
Growing up in naija gave me a lot of experiences I know I couldn't have probably gotten anywhere else. There were some quite funny ones though and I thought to share some that I remember  with you. Reminiscing on some of them can actually help you have a good laugh. My mom told me just recently that I ate raw pepper when I was about a year and 6months and it got me running round the house with my mouth wide open and I didn't cry o...you can imagine the sight.😅 So,here we go! ◆Welcome to naija, where once rain starts falling, power supply is cut off and if you see the light immediately the rain stops, glory be to God cause just like a friend said they have to dry their wire😂 ◆Welcome to naija, where as an adolescent girl, your mom would tell you not to go close to a boy else you'd get pregnant. Hmm...see me running from boys then. Still wondering how I fell for that.😕 ◆Welcome to naija, where your parents would only realize how dumb you are when your intelligent frien
