Life is beautiful...

 

Life is beautiful, do you agree with me? (Photo credit: Google)

 Life is beautiful. There’s a lot to learn from the curvy lady called life, I hope you read me through my lenses as I will not explain why I didn’t liken life to “slim shadies”, life is beautiful.

We’ve had moments we query a lot of things about life and existence in general, but a look around would give you reasons to be thankful, at least for something. Even at your darkest hour, there’s always a silver lining, maybe you need a grateful heart to figure, but there’s always something to smile about.

No one will ever understand life in its entirety but the more of it you understand, the more your chances of being successful and, I would like to explain that a bit; your knowledge of your environment will determine how you navigate, now equate that to life… Feel me?

I understand the complicated nature of life makes it tiring, for example: It’s about to rain and right here, someone is excited for it and I know a lot of people that need reasons to celebrate the showers won’t hesitate, but right here too, someone is sad… Her clothes are on the railings, far from protection.

I’ve seen a rich couple hop from crusades to fertility centers all because they couldn’t have a child while some trenches ambassadors pop kids annually like it’s a passport to long life and prosperity; this same life where fresh leaves fall off and ageless trees survive the axe?

Speaking of that, this same life is where the handle of the axe that falls the big tree is made off the fabric of the tree, you wonder why brothers go to war over things we can always talk about and smile at the end of the argument no matter how heated it is…

Life is beautiful and I’d rather see it that way than cry over the bitter lemons it tries to squeeze through my lips without my permission many times. It’s not all rosy on this side but the blessings of life, I can’t deny and all I can say is Hallelujah… Alhamdulilai for Latifah and my Muslim fans…

To be continued…

    Needed at this moment of my life. Life is tiring cos of the ups and downs, we still have to remain grateful for other things we didn’t ask for.

17th May, 2023 - My darkest hours

Image
One year after her passing, nothing has changed, I still feel pains and, I still have a lot of unanswered questions but, Valar Morghulis - All men must die. (Photo credit: Ramsey's iPhone) Yea, it's been one year already, and nothing has changed. I still feel as much pain as I did exactly one year ago, when the darkest of clouds usurped me. When the earth received my mother's body, it still hurts. I’ve tried many times to do this, but it is what it is. What a year it has been. There was no inkling before it happened, so there is no benchmark. However, it’s a different kind of pain, one I don’t wish on anyone. The 17th of May 2023 will forever remain where it is; hopefully, it remains the darkest ever until my dying day. The mood was obvious; Deepsea could tell in the car. Joy sent me a text message to lift my spirits, but calls from Ibadan informed me that my mom was on her way to the hospital. It didn’t take long for me to realize it wasn’t her usual attention-seeking dr...

If her name is Precious, you're single

People will leave you wondering if you're abnormal, omo iya mi, ma fo, na dem be the problem not you. Oya stay jiggy make we enter road. (Photo credit: Google)   “When you’re losing a tug of war to a tiger, release the rope before it gets to your arm; you can always get another rope, of course, except if you want prosthetics; you don’t want another arm.” - Ancient Chinese proverb remixed by Rambo. 2023 taught me a lot, and one of them is this: “If that person looks too good to be true, don’t force it; the person is certainly a fraud." And this rings true for everything. Whether living or non-living, don’t force it; it’s too good to be true. I was going to write about Precious, but I realized it’s a waste of time. Someone would text or call to tell me I’m pained, and it would get me emotional. I’d rather leave it as it is and sweep it under the rug like I always do. No worries on this one. Lesson number 1 from 2023: Tomorrow isn’t promised! See, a day before my mother passed...

Panda's wife and the memories of Tinubu Road

  Happy birthday beautiful and uber-smart Toyin Adepegba, my good friend from Tinubu Road. (Photo credit: Toyin's WhatsApp status) Toyin Adepegba is 40 today, today is also my parents’ wedding anniversary and it evokes some nostalgia from way back. I remember how they celebrated one particular year, that shit made me start thinking of getting married at just 10… Look at me now LOL. This post is about Toyin, a great human by all standards. She was my first friend at Brand Regimen, she knows her job and has this drive that won’t let her settle for anything below her standards. Let me share a few things I copped from here during our days as colleagues. Toyin was the Business Development Manager at BR and later had to fill in when there was a gap on one of the Account Management Team, one measure of her success in that role as far as I saw was how good Joy became as her protégé, that counts for a lot. While I was the lead on decks and strategy plans, Toyin offered solid outlets o...
