Time-out

 I’m tired, stressed out, I don’t want to try again or start over,

Feeling so drained and exhausted,

So many expectations yet unmet,

I don’t want to give up but I feel like have given it all, have given so much out that I’m beginning to fade away and become a shadow of myself, I hate that I feel this way because I know how hard I tried.

It hurts when you expect so much more but get little or nothing in return.

Have got to relax,

Time to pull the plug and draw the curtain,

Show’s over,

I have nothing left to give...... so I give up

You win.

PRESSURE

  Pressure We are mostly overwhelmed by the urge to do better even more than others which is mostly a good thing but too much of pressure isn't good. We overthink or over calculate every move we want to make. The desire to do more feels as strong as a vampire's thirst for blood. We look before we leap but still fall and sometimes drown We undergo series of pressure from family, friends, relationships,colleagues and so on It almost feels like we are in competition with everyone including ourselves We always forget the fact that we are moving forward even if it's just by an inch, we still aren't where we used to be yesterday. That should also give us hope that tomorrow's going to be better than today. Don't stress it....you are doing well.

OBlIVION

 Oblivion How often do you dream? Funmbi was a dreamer, she has a perfect picture of how she wants her life to be all in her head, you could say she was a perfectionist or a perfectly driven person....well, it's easier for her being born into wealth but still she wanted more and strive harder to get the best of everything, clothes, cars, shoes, bags, food, skin, house and even her man. Everything had to be perfect. Tolani on the other hand just wanted something simple, not that she wouldn't prefer an extravagant lifestyle but she knows she couldn't afford it, between her mom's hospital bills to college funds for her two siblings, house rent,utility bills and all..... even the three hundred thousand naira she earns monthly barely covers it all, so she settles for reality. It's funny how this two met and became best friends with how different they were in lifestyle, ambition, background and attitude....but they have one thing in common "A good heart " But th...

Lost cause

  It’s so funny how we miss what we never had, how we longer and thirst for what isn’t ours. How we blindly pray for the type of lifestyle that isn’t meant for us, We get into relationships/situationships fully aware of what the outcome would be but we hang on to that little hope of what if it actually works out and when it doesn’t (as expected) it hurts like you never saw it coming,  You are never fully prepared for failure, but yet you keep trying,  I keep praying that whatever/whoever isn’t meant to be in my life should be removed no matter how aggressively I hold on it/them, I can’t go through all this and settle for less so for now I rest, so I can redirect my thoughts and change direction, have given it my best. Tired of fighting for a lost cause.
