A typical example of we don't look like what we go through.

Month 1

First-time celebrating the new year without being with family felt so awkward and very comfortable but as an adage says, you can’t eat your cake and have it.

Guess that’s the price to pay for growing up and being independent earlier than expected.

Cried some really bad tears with emotions all over the place at the slightest opportunity ( maybe, just maybe my eyes love being wet)

Month 2

Celebrated the most important person in my life amid all the gbas gbos of Life, well life can be so hurtful and tiring sometimes.

Caught up with court cases with Nigeria happening to the family is the most dreadful thing ever but then the law has to take Its place.

Month 3

Police they say is your friend but it’s a terrible lie that no Nigerian or African should believe, we are finally half out of police trouble, and it’s so relieving, time for family and everyone to heal but the pain and hurt never goes away immediately, they say time will heal but this time brings fear, long hopes, doubt, worries, and pains that are locked up somewhere pretending to be gone.

Month 4

A new phase in a new career, it’s exciting and beautiful to see but not without big trouble and hurdles, not without almost terrible mistakes that can make the heart fly out of the mouth.

Beautiful people walk into my life and held me so tight like I’m the best thing after bread and Akara, holding me through the phases, showing me genuine love, and helping me see how beautiful the journey is and will be.

Reporting duties

Month 5

Wide connections but not without let’s lay in bed together and all the sweet yet irritating words, men old enough to be your grandfather says.

Hard work, is stressful work because you have to pay the price and go through the process.

Month 6

Time for one of the biggest phases in your career, time to cross into the life you have always dreamt of, time to work harder but be grateful because you have always wanted it for the longest time.

Time to join senior colleagues to go on the field and see for yourself how much work the profession you are getting into will cost you.

Sweet and interesting memories and indeed another time to understand how things work.

Month 7

Celebration of one of the best persons who walk into your life and won’t leave because they love you so much, like the adage that says it’s not how far it’s how well, this quick bonding and fast intense love can’t be played with.

Martikulated into the biggest thing the last 6 months have offered, the story will get clear along the line.

The first major surprise from the best crew in this procession feels like a dream but it was a real happening and it was the most blissful day listening to people t about how much I meant to them.
Guess that’s what happens during birthdays.

Paid the highest fees I have ever paid to self-sponsor myself.

Exams, sleepless nights, plenty of books, plenty of writings.

Intentionality!!!! Internationally!!!!!!

Month 8

More Intentionality!!!

Achievers 3!!!

The rewards from the sleepless nights, are not so good, not so bad, must we even write exams🤣😂

Vacation with one of the best people in my life feels like a home away from home.

Home to see and celebrate with family amid life challenges.

After all, I didn’t fall off a tree🤣🤣🤣

It’s 4:20 am on the 18th day of the 8th month and it feels so good to write that.

Care to share how the past 8 months have been? I’m here to listen.
