First of all, Introduction

Dearest,

I submitted my project today! apart from that,

I am beyond excited to write this to you because you are one of the 16 persons who has made an intentional effort to let me share my life with you by clicking on the follow button. You might not fully understand the importance of what you have done for me by doing so, but I hope you start to realize it as I continue and intentionally keep this relationship we are starting (yes I called it a relationship😂)

I think an introduction for my first letter to you is appropriate.

Hello again,😁

I am Ifedolapo and I believe strongly in the power of names and expression, that is why I have been making a conscious effort to introduce myself as Ifedolapo and not Dolapo.

I also happen to be a fourth year medical student on the verge of writing my first professional exam in not so far away September. I love love but I am currently single and loving and I find people intriguing and exhausting at the same time. I don’t like bananas but I love plantain and cake is literally my favorite thing to eat.😂

I am never afraid when I talk but I always second guess myself whenever I pick up the microphone to sing my favorite song meanwhile I have an amazing voice. I love God but I know I am not loving him as much as I could but I am trying to work on that. I am not close to perfect but I strive every day to be better, for me, you and everyone else because I believe I am vital for change and the future is better.

I just introduced myself off the top of my head and I would like you to do the same. Having trouble doing so, you can just follow the format I used above. It goes somewhat similar to this:

· Your name and something you believe in

· What stage/level are you in academically

· What you think about love or anything random e.g food, school, Nigeria

· Relationship status

· What you do easily and what you don’t do easily but hope to become better at

· Something about your spiritual journey

· Anything else you just want to put out there

I am indeed looking forward to getting to know you

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...
