DECISIONS



Sometime in February, I was at the cinema. The day I went, they had Black Panther, 50 shades freed and Maze runner: Death cure all lined up and running at about the same time. I was very ecstatic about watching Black Panther due to the hype, I wanted to see what was making people go crazy 😁. However, I was also intrigued by the 50 shades series so I wanted to see how it would all come to an end, plus I had seen a couple of trailers before. I also wanted to watch Maze runner, although not as much as I wanted to see the other 2 but I've also followed the series so I wanted to see the end of it all. Plus Dylan O'Brien 😍 who played the role of Thomas was there so I had to see one of my favourite actors take on 'Wckd' for the last time on screens.



 After weighing all my options, I decided to watch Black Panther with hopes that I would be able to get the rest at school from fellow movie fanatics 😊. Thank God I did. Now here I am, 2 months later, I have both Maze runner: Death cure and 50 shades freed all in HD on my laptop for my private viewing 😊😊 but still haven't gotten Black Panther in HD 😢. It sure made me feel happy that I had made the best decision 2 months ago.

 However, I don't always make the best decisions. Most times, I feel like I make the worst possible decision there is. Most times, when I go to the cafeteria and I have to choose between 2 different food combos, after buying, when I get to my room to eat, I usually feel like I made the worst choice after taking the first spoon 😣.


Most times I feel like I make bad decisions and maybe I really have made bad decisions but you know what I've learnt? Over thinking it and blaming myself about it has never helped change or make the decision better. I usually just have to live with the results of my decisions and if it's a decision I get the opportunity to make again, I'd be wiser off next time but if it isn't, I must make the best out of the 'bad' decision that I've made. I call it maximising my outcomes no matter what.

I HATE SCHOOL

I hate school! 😣 Never have I more convincingly told myself that I hate a thing. I hate the fact that I have to get up early everyday to get ready to acquire information that I would not need in the future. I hate the fact that I'm tested by my ability to know what the teacher wants me to know, how he wants me to know it and present it the way he wants me to otherwise, I might not be qualified to advance to the next stage. I'm a square peg, I hate that I'm being forced to fit in a triangular hole, I hate it! We all hate school for so many reasons. The rules, the annoying teachers, the uncomfortable seats, having to wake up early to go for class 😓, the books we have to read, sometimes the ugly outfits we have to wear, the terrible cafeteria food that breaks our hearts and make us fall out of love with our favorite food 😉... The list is unending. But there's one thing that tops the list of almost everyone that hates school, the EXAMS! The most inefficient

NEW YEAR NEW ME '24

I missed out on posting my annual birthday blog this year cos I was too busy living life and having fun  😅 But, without a doubt, chapter 23 or 2023 was my best year yet; I call it the happiest year of my life thus far. As I said in Chapter 22 , I maintain that my biggest "flex" is I've never had a better previous year. My life just keeps getting better and better. God abeg, this is not a challenge to do a 'Job test' on me. I'm not one of your strongest soldiers, I dey beg. So what happened last year that made it my happiest year yet. As always, before I write these "birthday blogs", I read through the previous ones just to refresh my memory on what I was thinking about when I was writing the previous one and, I guess, to reminisce on the time I was having then. For example, in chapter 23 , I talked about how little I was writing on LinkedIn and Twitter because I was writing elsewhere. Well, I stopped writing "elsewhere" by the end of last

THE FEAR OF LONELINESS

Walking down the street without a companion, sitting at a restaurant table for two alone, staying at home with no one to hang out with on a Friday night. Thoughts like these normally come to mind when we hear the word 'loneliness' and thus we can easily say we aren't lonely because we are always in the company of friends and family and even when we're on our own, we aren't truly alone because we have our devices that connect us to thousands of people at virtually a push of a button... If only loneliness was that simple 😩.  True loneliness lies in being surrounded by people of similar tastes and preferences and still feeling alone. True loneliness resides in having to hide parts of who you are and things you feel just to fit in. True loneliness is being accepted for who you are not! True loneliness is... being unique but having to act like everyone else 😔. Personally, I've had my share of lonely moments but I won't be talking about myse
