COVID-19 (A NEW NORMAL) - LOOKING ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

          Covid-19 has stopped us  from carrying out our day-to-day routine as normal, we can no longer visit friends, go to public places, and the part that affects me the most is , we can't have physical contact at all, I love hugs, warm hugs that make you feel safe and loved,  I mean who doesn't , I love touching whom ever I am talking to, It help me to be able to express myself better.


   I started thinking a lot this period and I  realized that even though COVID  has taking away the life that we are used to, it has also given us the time for things we would ordinarily not have time for. For example that movie you wanted to watch with your family but work wouldn't let you, That particular meal you wanted to prepare for your whole family but you  were always  incomplete, those tutorials you wanted to take online but you were just to busy , that book you wanted to read, and a whole lot of other things  you wanted to do but there was no time. COVID-19 has given us the time and the most comfortable place i can think of " our homes! ".

A few weeks ago something caught my attention, an image that read  "  Travel passport; the  most useless thing in  2020". Our  passport  might be "useless" at this time but our brains are not. Do all those things you would have done in 2019 but time didn't permit. Don't be full of regret this 2020.


Find a new hobby, learn new things, bond with family members ( that are living with you). Most especially be innovative this period and try as much as possible to be more technologically literate because after COVID-19 technology will play a huge part in our lives.


# STAY SAFE, STAY HOME.


Lots of love ,

SOME DAYS AFTER FATHER'S DAY

Image
I would have written this piece on Father's Day but I didn't want to be selfish. I didn't want to turn a happy occasion to a sad one. So I'll write it today, some days after Father's Day. I don't think I was ever told what death was. Not even now. No one ever sat with me to have that "talk", the one that tries to soften the tough blow reality has dealt you. I just… knew. And i knew pretty young too. Like they say, experience is the best teacher. Unfortunately, this was a lesson it handed me too early, in my honest opinion. Over the years, I’ve tried to understand death—sometimes with anger, sometimes with sympathy. I’ve written letters to it and gotten no answers.  It’s been 15 years since November 22nd, 2009. I was four years, eleven months, two weeks, and a day old. My first real encounter with death. Too young to understand.  Too old to ever forget. I wrote my first tribute at six. Now that I think about it, that was probably my earliest publishe...

THIS LITTLE LIFE

It’s currently 12:36 AM. All my roommates are fast asleep. I just woke up and I plan to take a bath. Don’t ask me why I’m bathing this late—and mummy, if you're reading this, I’m sorry. It won’t happen again. But back to the actual picture: it’s past midnight and I’m left with my thoughts in the silence of my room. So I’ve decided to do what I love—write. Now, I’m not going to come here and give excuses for not writing in a while. I'm not even going to say “school has been after my life.", even though it has. I’ll own up to my inconsistency because something I’m learning lately is to be more accountable for my actions. Someone asked me today why I still hadn’t written—even though they remind me every time. The answer was already at the tip of my tongue: “I’ve just been so busy.” And that wouldn’t have been a lie. This semester has hit me with waves of emotions and intense fatigue. But I didn’t say that. Despite the chaos, I had made a promise to myself to write more on my ...

TO BEING SEEN❤️

Image
I grew up around lots of women and girls. Strong ones. Loud ones. Soft ones. The ones who hugged too tightly and the ones who made ofe nsala that could shut you up mid-rant. Raised by a single mum, loved by a battalion of aunties, shadowed by female cousins, and shaped by an all-girls secondary school run by reverend sisters. So, I think it’s safe to say I’ve experienced women and girls in all their forms. And today in honour of national girlfriends day, I just want to say I’m thankful for all the beautiful women and girls who have held space for me, the ones who’ve helped me grow, cry, laugh, rethink, and re-love myself again. To my girlfriends, the ones who stayed on the phone while I processed my mess,  sent voice notes that felt like therapy, shared lipgloss and chewing gum with me, reminded me to eat, hyped me when I doubted myself, and understood even the silences, I love you. When I made my last post, I sent it to everyone in my contact list like I always do. But...
