I cannot tell you what it was.

Maybe someday, but not right now.

Nov 26, 2024

It’s 12:52 am on a Tuesday and the harmattan in Ekiti is not harmattaning at all. Sane humans are probably fast asleep, grinding, or trying to see how they can make $20k before the end of the year.

But here I am, writing to you because the last time I sent out a newsletter was in September and it feels like I’ve committed a grave offense.

There’s no light right now, and the chickens that live just by my window are fast asleep. Wait till it’s 5:30 am and hear them scream down my roof. Such nuisance!

Sometimes I want to pay evil for evil. Maybe scream till my throat hurts so that they’ll not have peace of mind; that’s exactly what those little demons to do me every single day.

I have never had a day of rest since I moved into this compound.

I really want to hurt them in ways they cannot imagine. Any ideas?

I promise. Those evil creatures have been after my life from time immemorial.

“Time immemorial?” It feels weird writing that.

WETIN BE THAT?

Nah, don’t gimme that look. I’ve really missed writing to you.

I know I keep saying I’ll turn a new leaf aaaaaand I never did.

I think at this point, it’s prayer and fasting I need from you people.

Sigh.

I took this bad character to Web3 Twitter, and now they’ve disowned me.

In October, a really nice and sweet girl reached out to me and asked that we become accountability partners by committing to posting every day of the month.

I obliged. I even made an announcement post on Twitter on how I was gon do the challenge.

A what? A joker.

It’s really not what you think. I got swamped with work. I couldn’t keep up with everything that was happening around me at that time.

Not enough excuse but valid, yes? I don’t know.

Truth be told, I wasn’t disciplined enough.

I’m learning that discipline is prioritizing what you want the most over what you want now.

On the bright side…

Over the past few months, I have gotten incredible compliments/reviews on my work rate and it really means a lot to me.

“You’re so hardworking and dedicated to your job, well done!”

A words of affirmation girlie through and through.

I don’t have the biggest of dreams. Nah, I don’t.

I just know that I want to be great at what I do and give the world the gift of me.

The October Edition of Hallelujah Challenge was IT!!!

It’s been raining testimonies in my life since then.

GOD is GOOD!

This NYSC thing is almost over and I couldn’t be more grateful.

*Screams inside pillow.

Suspect is tired of the clarion call o.

Suspect is not doing again.

*swallows anxiety pills.

It’s that time of the year again, and trust me, most people are beginning to get hit by the waves of sadness and introspection that come with it.

Hey, you did great! Just as Sisi Yemmie has said, it’s okay if the only thing you did this year was get through it.

There’s really no point in getting sad/depressed. No point whatsoever, boo.

You’re ALIVE and HEALTHY, be grateful.

GOD DID!

Special Shoutout.

These two people— T_maann and MrM4gnus from Twitter will not let me rest. They kept asking for a newsletter. Eii.

Thank you both for the trolls sha. I’ll try to be consistent, Amen!

If I do not stop writing right now, I’ll go late to CDS later in the day and they’ll tell me to pick dirt from the floor.

When I say I’m seeing shege in this NYSC, you people will think it’s a joke.

Bible verse of the week: “Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.”
