Musings of a Young Dreamer Girl: Omelette for Eggs

So today deliberately wanted to turn into a bad day but I didn't let it.
I had barely slept for two hours after an all night when my dad woke me up, I was just looking at him like, "You no dey sleep?" He wakes you up in such a way that you hear his voice even from your deepest of dreams and you jerk up with your heart beating times two of its normal rate. Remember I told you he's a disciplinarian. After attending to what needed attention, I tried to get back to my much needed sleep and cramps set in. Really??? Nothing was getting in the way of this my beloved sleep so I hurriedly took some pain killers and snuggled into my pillows, thirty minutes later, I was staring at my ceiling trying to convince myself not being pregnant now was a good thing, Mother Nature had apparently won.
So I attempted to read, but the words seemed to jump out of the pages, dancing in circles around my head, just like in Tom and Jerry.
Finally, cramps gave way to sleep, two hours later I woke up to meet
them waiting like they were staring at me with taunting eyes and singing, "is dah how you used to do? Someone cannot play with you..."
I dragged myself up and looked for something to nibble on, as I went online looking for something that would interest me. Just as I was about to give in and call it a bad day, I stumbled upon a post on Instagram. You see why I told you who you follow on social media platforms matter? The post said, "Do something everyday that will get you closer to your goal." This got me totally, I had been hearing these words over time but I guess I needed to hear them again today. Well well well, what could I do, I began to think. I love singing, music makes me tick. I imagine myself on a big stage singing to thousands of people, not just singing but ministering, I mean, I'm allowed to dream right?
So I started going through my phone looking for songs I hadn't really listened to and started singing along, before I knew it I was
dancing. This was a very funny sight cause I totally suck at dancing, I couldn't strike a move to save my life, God help me on my wedding day. But it didn't matter as long as I was having a good time. I had a torch in my hand as my microphone and my bed was my audience consisting of thousands and thousands of people, hehe...the power of imagination. By the time I was done, I felt totally light headed, and I felt very good.
In all, I learnt that it was my responsibility to make the most and the best of my days and time despite whatever it was that tried to weigh me down or stood in my way. I learnt to pour glitter on my seemingly gloomy day and make it sparkle.
When life gives you eggs, make omelette. No pun intended.

DEAR FUTURE HUSBAND

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

Musings of a Young Dreamer Girl: PERHAPS

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

Love and Landlord

        I just wanted to get ingredients 4 my breakfast 4rm Mama Dorcas,the woman who sold provisions down d street. As I came out of my gate, everywhere was calm and quiet as expected, most children were probably in school by that time of d morning. As I walked into d store, I greeted Mama Dorcas just as I noticed a dark complexioned pot bellied man standing at a corner in the shop. This wasn't a strange sight at all, though not quite pleasant for that time in the morning as don't actually know what will end up spoiling your day. When he smiled at me he exposed his set of 'it-was-once-white-now-brown-teeth' .Immediately I lost appetite for breakfast that morning. Then he told me he'd be the one to attend to me because he liked fair people...who cares?       I just wanted to get what I came for as soon as possible. So after getting everything I wanted, I proceeded to leave and he called me... "what on earth did he want?" that was the only ques
