How do you see humble beginnings??

Frame It!!!....The best days are close already. One day in my life, a long time after I had left secondary school, I was going through my school box, and lazily looking through all the last set of books I used during secondary school. Then I stumbled upon them. My different Journals and letters. The letters included those that were written to me, and those I failed to give out, due to lack of courage or any other reason. Boom! I sat down there and began to read. I've always loved reminiscence and reading with all my heart. So, I seamlessly spent quite sometime on that spot, reading those stuff, and trust me, I had a swell time. I laughed so hard, and I pinched myself at different times. I am sure, you can guess the reason by now. Damn!...I felt stupefied and really surprised. For the letters I wrote, I kept on asking no one in particular..."Did I ever draft this?", "Like, Who does this? For those ...

On Comparison: What Reliance isn't seeing.

So what is it? RELIANCE : I've not been feeling so fine lately. My health has been deteriorating without mercy. Of recent, I've had to visit the hospital twice for tests, to reassure myself that I'm not actually a sickler. VALERIE : Okayyyy...your OCD won this time around. RELIANCE : Stop it. You would have done the same if you were in my shoes. VALERIE : Oya now, no vex ma. RELIANCE : See ehn, that is not even my issue. So many things have been on my mind lately. VALERIE: (Sitting up) Hmmmm...Do you mind sharing? RELIANCE : Not really. Errhm...do you remember Ola? The girl we used to call smallie dah year? VALERIE: (Thinking aloud) Smallie...Ola...who...wait, wait, the one from our secondary school? RELIANCE : Ehen!( claps her hand)...I saw her. VALERIE : (Brightens up her eyes, and begins to smile) Oh my God..where? How was she looking? Where does she live? RELIANCE : Calm down madam...abi, I should leave you to do the talking? VALERIE : Sorry oo..Oya, I...

For anything, anytime!

Reliance: I now started Wondering if I actually look like an onions. Vanessa: (Laughing hysterically) Oh my God!... It's well with us. But wait, ( She sits up, and glances at the clock on the wall) Reliance...It's almost ten a.m. What time did you plan to open your shop? Reliance : I'll go by eleven joor. Sales have been pretty low this week, and I'm just not happy about it. It's killing the little vibes I gathered to open the business. Valerie: So, what exactly do you want? Reliance: C'mon...I have over a million naira worth of goods in that shop, and I keep on selling only a handful of goods per day all. Valerie: Is that so? But at the time I passed yesterday, the whole place was scattered, like you had just sold over a hundred thousand nau.. Reliance: (In shock) Jesus!..what time was tha.. Valerie: In the afternoon joor..sometime between 1 and 2. I was on a bike, so I couldn't really stop to greet, but with that sight alone, I was just hail...

Keys To A Happy Life

Let's talk, friend... What really do you plan to use all of those compliments which you've bottled up within yourself to do??. Let me guess...maybe save them all up till you're able to buy a fortune with it? Funny, right??..But this bothers me pretty much, so you have to tell me please. We'll come back to this later though, let us just not begin as enemies. We would be learning about keys to a happy life, today. I garnered my information from a few personal encounters with persons, and my own application to life. Therefore, this list would not be exhaustive, but they're sure effective. Choke with Love: Have you ever been stuck in a very tight corner with affection that the next air you sought to breathe was freedom? To me, and some others out there, that's one of the best feelings. I understand so well if you do not like...

A truth in time, saves lives.

Make a mental scene of you, telling a lie about something to someone. After some time, you're now asked to reiterate or defend it before a large number of persons, and you do so, to save face. Next up, people have adopted the lie, and expect to see your life in that light. Let's just say this is the point where you decide you're not returning back on your words. Somehow, you forge ahead. However, as much as you dreaded it, you finally get to that point where you can't keep up any more. You come face to face with your fears, and end up in a fix. Pretty bad, innit? Most of the times, you either just sideline that life with no explanations, or you take the bold step of having to go back and tell everyone the truth. Thing is this. Why go through all of that in the first place?? One of the new year resolutions I made, is to be truthful to myself and others, come what may. Reason?? For all that there is. Yes...

Catering for our differences.

WE ARE ONE. Back then in secondary school, a lot of things mattered. I used to be among the "pens with tiny mouth" lovers. (And I still am😌). I never used to like writing with any pen that had a fat tip. If I got a new note, or had to write something at my convenience, I always used a pen with a tiny mouth. Lucky corer was my favourite then. When writing exams, I wouldn't dare go in with a big "mouth biro". I had my reasons then. Since writing with fat tip pen was never my choice, somehow, it always affected my mood, and my handwriting too. I noticed if I used any "big mouth biro", instead of concentrating while writing, I'll be busy bemoaning my handwriting, and cursing whatever situation that made me use that pen in the first place. Because of this, while coming from home for a new term, I usually buy my biros and come with the...
