I don’t have a title and that’s okay…

Dearest gentle reader, (the OG’s know where it’s from)

I just want to share a few things that have been on my heart lately a little rant, some reflections, life update and of course, encouragement for your journey too….

I attend a small university with about 800 students. Few stay on campus others live off-campus or come from home. I’m part of the pioneer set of my faculty, so when the school was still very new, I knew almost everyone. But now? I barely know up to a quarter of the population.

I started selling jewelry, and at first, it was just something casual. Eventually, though, it became serious. Then the student population grew, and out of the blue, one of my main and loyal customers decided to start selling jewelry too. I was surprised she chose my line of business, but I made peace with it after all, it’s a university. People are free to sell what they want. But then, this babe tracked my supplier. She went all the way to the same market where I buy my goods, located my exact plug, and even asked him directly, “Is this where Gift buys from?” When he told me, I was taken aback. It’s one thing to go into the same business that’s fine. It’s another thing to find my exact supplier and turn him into your major source too. There are so many other sellers in the market, even in the whole world! Call me petty, but I think this is pure wickedness. I hate that she feels we’re in some kind of competition.

My roommates help me advertise my goods by going room to room sometimes in the hostel. Next thing, she starts doing the same, something she never used to do before. I wanted to meet and talk to her, but people around me encouraged me to let it go.

So this is me, ranting. And letting it go. I’m choosing to focus on my business and growth.

I recently hosted my first event at school! I was both the host and moderator of the discussion, and to be honest, I was scared at first. It is frightening standing in front of people, honestly. I prayed about it, and fortunately, my devotion at the time reminded me that: “God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind.”

I held onto that word and kept reciting it. With God’s help, it was a huge success. I don’t want to get ahead of myself but haaa I could totally host the Grammys now!

My lecturer posted me on her status and her caption was cuteee.

Is it just me, or is there this midnight/early morning inspiration that just hits different? You feel so creative writing flows, prayer feels deeper. Honestly, that time just feels more intimate.( But let me not lie, night time is for sleeping oh please do what works for you!)

Exams are coming up this month, and I’m low-key worried. I’ll do my best read, manage my time, and by God’s grace, I will overcome.

My roommates did something so sweet: they helped write key points of topics on sticky notes and turned them into flashcards for me to revise. It’s honestly the cutest thing anyone has done for me lately.

My roommates are the funniest people ever. Today marks a month since I discovered I was a side chick, but they’re saying that to celebrate one month of being free, I should take them out😭😂. Guyssss, I’m the victim shouldn’t they be the ones taking me out?

Earlier this week, one of them said she feels like dating a cheat just to know what it feels like. She even told me to text my ex and ask if he has a brother or cousin she can be with, so she can “understand it better what it’s like being with a cheat 😭.”

I have a crush who’s in another continent, and my roommates said I don’t pity myself “Someone that was here in Nigeria and hasn’t crossed the border still cheated on you. Imagine dating someone overseas!”😭 he is just a crush oh…

My roommates have said even worse jokes, but I’ve honestly survived well and their dark humor always makes me laugh. I love them for it.

Happy New Month!

I pray this month brings happiness and clarity.

May all your heart’s desires come to pass.

May you walk in purpose and find strength for each day.

You are covered, loved, and helped. Always.
