No Sunshine


The weather lately 

Has found a way to

Mirror my mood.


Lots of rain 

Lots of growth

Weeds and flowers alike

But no sunshine.


Because, you,

My sun

Has decided to shine 

On another planet.

Dealing with Parents in a Lockdown: How to stay sane and happy

Image
  Hey people, it is a brand new week. I hope you've keeping safe, having fun and achieving those goals. Today i will be talking about something we all need to read. I drew inspiration from one of the occurrences during the month. Sit tight😉 I can’t count the number of times I wanted to just run out of my house and put a few miles💨💨 between my parents and I or the times I cried myself to sleep (yes I still cry😅) or moments I forced myself to watch a movie just to forget the anger 😠and hurt I felt, or times I went to the bathroom, turned on the shower to substitute for crying at certain points in this lock-down. I really have lost count and i am sure you will agree with me that this lock-down has taken longer than it should. I remember the school authorities dismissing us for two weeks and boom two weeks turned five months and counting. I am sure most of y’all if not all has probably felt that impulse and emotions at one point in time. Well, Its no surprise because parents c...

Superstar!

Image
  You're light  You're bright  A constellation of the brightest stars  can never match up to the brilliance that is you  You're the evidence of great things on earth  A beautiful flower always in bloom Planted and always watered by the rivers of water  Your kind is rare  Yet a vital necessity  For a vibrant and beautiful world.  It’s a privilege to know you and call you ours  Look at you at the height of your 10yr old self’s dream  Let this be a testament to the fact that your dreams are always within reach May you rise to the skies  Soar through the galaxies  And May they come to know your name May good fortune be with you forever,  May you get that which is your desire,  May you never see the ground,  And only reach higher and higher Ifedolapo

Imposter's Syndrome: Stop feeling like a Fraud!

Image
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 ...
