Happy Valentine's Day: A Letter to my Valentine.


 

My Dear Valentine,

Is it not a perfect day to celebrate love? I believe it is, I also believe it should an everyday affair.

I may not have the gift of roses or chocolates or even a bouquet of flowers to send your way but I can offer you the gift of my most sincere emotions, heart and my penmanship.

Oh how I prayed within the four walls of my bathroom cubicle, that today you experience love and give love today not as a feeling, but as an act of service because that’s what love is.





Do not get carried away by the extravagant display of love and beat yourself up for not getting one of those displays. Most of the times, such displays stems from a place of I don't know, "a place of proving who is who" which when I think of,  I would rather not want and probably you shouldn't too. Because instead of coming from a place of depth and genuineness and understanding, it is coming from superficiality. 

Don't get lost in the high of your emotion that you misconstrue love as sex! a lot of ignorant people will fall for this lie. Note that sex can be an expression of love in the right premise or  just gratification in heat of things.

Do show yourself some love today, buy yourself a pack of your favorite juice or ice cream, some cake or chicken too might not be bad😉😁 I mean it, be kind to YOU! You definitely can't give what you don't have. To show love or share love, you have to know and understand what love is and what it feels like.

You can also show me some love by sharing this to as many people as possible💓

                                                                                                                        Yours in love,

                                                                                                                           Ifedolapo

My Friend

My friend  A guardian of my interests In clarity and  uncertainty. A light in the darkness Situations may cast. A shelter in times of hurt Even when the wounds are invisible. A companion with whom I share belly laughs A confidant who has witnessed my tears As they cascade down my face. A soul who comprehends my silence As deeply as my words. A person with whom I can be completely and securely myself. My Friend  One I can trust to tell me the truth   And set me straight  The one who prays with and for me  The one who loves me  And reminds me of what’s truly important in life. My friend Without you Life with all its joy  Will feel incomplete  Life with little sadness  Will be utterly devastating My friend  You're a spice as well as an essence of life. Ifedolapo

Imposter's Syndrome: Stop feeling like a Fraud!

I started my blog officially on blogpost about a year ago but kept it to myself for so long because of what I later discovered to have suffered from “the imposter’s syndrome”. I mean, who knew there was a term to describe my feelings of inadequacy to be myself, to start a blog, to be the lead singer for a performance or even to state my opinion in a public gathering? I didn’t know! Maybe if I did I could have snapped myself out of it and my blog will be at least a bit popular by now and maybe an artiste could have signed me up by now (two years of professional singing no   be beans na)  lol. I am in no way saying I don’t experience   it from time to time now because sincerely I do and the funny thing about it is that, it finds a way to resurface when a big opportunity presents itself. This ordinarily should be a giant red warning flag but most of the time, my attention is focused on that inadequacy, that tiny inadequacy and beating myself up to bits mentally because of ...

FROM SCRATCH

In almost a whisper  Out of desperation  She uttered “Please come by the apartment tonight” "I’ll wait by the window to let you in" He looked straight into her eyes Said nothing in affirmative  And walked away With part of her heart in his pocket. The rest of the day went by in a blur  Like the light of the sun that gives sight has been snuffed out of day and  given to the night. As the night was the only thing she could see  And Look forward to.  Night came  So did her anxiety  With full force.  Paces back and forth  Hour after hour  Time was ticking but not fast enough  Sighs upon sighs  She seats on the window pane  And he’s still not in view Her night as dark as ever. Finally she settles on the  White two seater couch  And rests her head on its arms  As her body was catching up  With the tiredness her heart felt. “It’s raining there’s no way He would ride all the way  On his bicycle t...
