OVERWHELMED


Hey 😀, It's been a minute... A really long minute 😅. Well let's catch up for old times sake shall we? 😊 Have you ever felt like you've been caught up with alot of tasks and deadlines (both personal and imposed) that you had to meet up with within a very short time period? That when you think of what you have to do in comparison with what you've already done, you just get weak or depressed 😣. Better or worse still, (because you're not yet certain if it's good for you or not) as you come close to wrapping your head around one task, another one just springs up 😢. You're like "Oya kuku kill me let everybody rest"... 



Well this has been my life the whole of the month of October. When I just stop to think of what's left undone, I just get tired before I even do anything. The most common greeting I got from acquaintances was "hey, you look tired" I always replied "yes, because I am 😢😣😣😣". The most annoying ones are the ones that go on to say "ah, you've not even started".


Ah! 🙆 Funke! just kill me let everything just end na 😒. At times like these, I reminisce on the good old days when I was much younger with much less worries. I remember when I was in primary 3 when all I was worried about was coming 1st position in class so my parents would buy me a bicycle. Back then, the race to 1st position was probably the most overwhelming thing... well till I came 1st on my 3rd attempt (after placing 3rd in 1st and 2nd term) 😃 and never stopped coming 1st till I left primary school 😁. 



I can only imagine how herculean a task I must have thought placing 1st in my class was and how much I stressed over it because I wanted a bicycle. Look at me now, no bicycle, no external incentives for achieving goals, the only consolation is if I do this I might just get closer to getting 30 billion in the akant. But that's a stretch anyway 😢 so back to feeling tired and under appreciated


Don't worry about me friends, it only feels like this when I think of things I have to do. These days, I try not to over think things. I don't make to-do lists (I've never really made one before so 👐) because if I did, it'd probably look something like this 👇


Once in a while, I try to do the little things that make me less stressed. I drink alot of juice 😊, sleep when I get tired, have really long conversations with very foolish people 😂, listen to really old music that was my jam at some point, I admire the beauty in nature and I write a blog post about how overwhelmed I am 😉😁. I try to relax, anything just to feel 'whelmed' again. Just so I can smile through it all ☺.


I like to think of myself as a free spirit so although this might be really difficult for other people to do when they're overwhelmed with tasks, this is what I do. So friends anytime that you feel overwhelmed...


Keep calm and (...) fill in the blanks with whatever makes you happy 😊. 

Thanks for reading. Till next time (don't worry, there will be a next time) 😄.

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

THE CRISIS OF URGENCY

This generation, my generation is so concerned with getting rich and doing it early. We want to make it big, we want to 'blow' and we want to do it NOW or at least some time really soon. This urge gets ignited all the more when we see and hear people achieving this at really young ages. We see the likes of Evan Spiegel, Co-founder and CEO of Snap Inc. (originally called Snapchat Inc.) with a net worth of $4.3 billion currently 27 years old; Bobby Murphy, Co-founder and CTO of Snap Inc. with a net worth of $3.2 billion currently 29 years old and of course,  the youngest billionaires in the world, the Norwegian heiresses Alexandra and Katharina Andresen, who are 21 and 22 years old, respectively. With large inheritances of $1.4 billion each. Occasionally, we wish to be like the Norwegian heiresses, get born into fortune and have large inheritances to pull out of it so you don't have to work a day in your life 😁. However, seeing as we can't change

THE NEED TO FEEL IMPORTANT

I remember the day I heard of instagram. Some friends were talking about this new app that allowed you upload pictures, view pictures, get followers and loads of other fun stuff. I was so intruiged by it not because I liked taking pictures for people to see, but just because of the way they talked about it. They went on and on about how they had hundreds of followers and how their pictures easily gathered likes over this new app. So I thought, maybe I would do the same and maybe get even more likes and followers. Later that day, I downloaded the app and instantly created a profile. The goal then was simply to get more followers than they had and have my pictures become instant hits! Easy! Oh how naive I was 😂😂😂.  So I uploaded my first post and after a week, I still had 5 likes! Just 5 likes! I actually just had 4 likes plus my own like on my photo 😂. Meanwhile, my friends were cruising about a hundred likes on every single new post they dropped just within the first 24 hours
