We have our differences.
We have our similarities.
There are ups and down.
Our emotions can flicker.
It might seem like
What we have Is fading away.
Its not!

Distance is not a barrier.
Business is not an excuse.
We won't leave
What we have to chances.
We won't!

We have to be deliberate.
We have to see it works out.
We have to compromise.
We have to!

Relationship requires time!
Love makes time!

I was called for a photograph.
I wasn't happy about it, not one bit.
My mind was some where else, far away from the room.
It was just one photograph for a lifetime,
But I was certainly not interested.

I entered the dark room
Just one spotlight with a wooden chair.
I'm sure the spotlight could spot my apathy.
If sittings could burn,
The wood would have been ashes by now.
We exchange an intense heat.

I was waiting for nothing but the sound of a click.
It seemed like it was going to take forever.
Sit up, chin up, look bold!
Several commands were dished,
But I had no appetite.

I could see nothing but darkness ahead of me.
But I'm sure I saw a quick smile on the face
Of the one behind the camera.
I smirked.
Then, I heard the click sound.

I was told it was finally over.
My face held no emotion,
But I felt a glint.
I wanted to see blinding light.
For the first time, darkness was unappealing.

I saw the outcome of everything.
I wondered what exactly the picture is about.
But staring at it, my mind became clear.
My eyes focused on my captured eyes.
It was like it was showing me something,
And then I smiled.
I saw it.

I know who I am.

I've heard people say you can't control your emotions.
Well, I'm a person who won't attest to anything until I prove it.
And I did.
Yes, I used myself as the specimen.
I laid my heart on the table for experiment.
It took days for me to see observations
It took weeks to be able to pen down the inferences.
And yes, it came out well.
After all hypotheses, and theory;
I concluded that one can control emotions.
It is you who name it, it also you feel it.
And this does not mean that I can suddenly start laughing or crying on impulse, but I can give myself reasons not to.
I can leave sentiments and be reasonable.
Your logic most times, don't have nothing to do with your emotions and there you see, you put your emotions to check.
Even love.
But there is a saying that love is not just an emotion or feeling.
Yeah!
Another one proven!

I find joy in the things I do,
Cos excitement can vanish but joy would LAST.

Growth is deliberate.



Growth is gradual.

How much of a writer you are would be known when you begin to wonder who a writer truly is and then you find the answer, deep right inside you.

Life as a young person in Nigeria.

It's no little wonder of how Nigeria is, we all are striving to be great persons. We have big dreams and visions, but not so many are achieved or have the hope to be achieved, we just keep pushing it. For we know that when the going get hard, the hard get going. Some have given up because they know the struggle is hard and the struggle has taken the lives of many away. I've heard some say, they don't want to die while trying to be rich, they just want to be happy and feed themselves daily. And, I've also heard some say that they must make it before they die. So, the hustle is real for a young Nigerian. In fact, some are planning in all ways to leave the country, commonly said as 'japa'. Well, it is well.
Even becoming an adult in Nigeria is another case on it own.

The life of a young person in Nigeria is the life of an hustler.

What I want to become....

Right from childhood, I have always wanted to be a medical doctor, help out the best I can in the operation room. Then, it seemed like the only thing I could be, but right now, I'm not pursuing being a medical doctor but the love for the operation room is still there but channeled through another means.

A question was asked then, the answer I gave was the same answer anyone who want to study medicine would have given. Then, I thought deeply and couldn't find any specific reason for my desire. It is good to have dreams, desires and plan, but the plan God had for me was different and I don't want to do something I wasn't convinced about.

Now, I am convinced where I am and where I am going. Though I've been told of all of the troubles to come and I've faced is probably a tip of an ice berg, I'll keep pushing it for I know what I want to become. It keeps me going and pushes me deeper and yet further.

I want to be someone who makes impact in the life of people. I don't just want to live for myself, everyone can say they want to also make impact, but I'm different.

Only I can become what I want to become.

My love experience.

Having a love experience is not really that hard; for a lot of us, our parents shower us with so much love from our very first breath but for some, it is otherwise, but one way or the other, they still experience love. Everyone deserves to have a love experience, though it might differ.

I have never experienced any other type of love apart from agape love from my families and friends. I am so much blessed with those who have sacrificed a lot for me and would go length for me. I might not have that one person that promises to be my to-the-moon-and-back, but the love I receive from those close to me is more than enough that I don't want to lose them.

My love experiences with my family, both spiritual and natural, has taught me how to love, sacrifice and put myself all out. And from my friends, I have seen that even with our differences, love can't be hindered. From the nagging, shouting, argument to the agreement, sharing, feasting, laughing, playing, teasing, love is always evident that the confession of it has become a slogan but of course, it is said for real and warms the heart.
