BIENVENUE!!!

Bienvenue mon-amie!!!
If you don't speak French, it means "Welcome my friend"..to my mind! (NOT blog)
Yikes!
Okay its been a long-time coming, like absolutely.
I've been planning (for quite sometime now) to do something like this but I wasn't totally sure what I wanted it to be like.
I think a lot..
errr..
not sure that came out well😂
(I meant to say that) my mind is always pre-occupied.

When I was a girl, I used to daydream a lot..like a whole lot; about pixies and gnomes, haunted homes and wishing chairs, fairies and god-mothers (blame it on Enid Blyton😓) and sometimes, what my life would be like when I'm rich and famous or become Miss Universe. I would literally read a book and reminisce on it for like one week straight and on some occasions, if the book didn't end as I wanted it to, I'll give it a befitting ending by myself! But the problem is this; I wont just give it one ending, I'll propose nothing less than 5 different endings to cover all 'what-ifs'. Once, my class teacher called me Alice in Wonderland, because mind wandered straight off whilst in the midst of a critical algebra lesson, despite seating at the front row. Don't get me wrong oo I was a bright child. Lol.

So overtime I noticed that my mind was always occupied, with stuff; thinking, daydreaming, analyzing or simply reminiscing. I began to acknowledge this super-power.(Wasn't so easy tho, as my village people most certainly refused me to be great 😂 sigh!)
Those who know me well know that I talk a lot, but there's still a lot of unsaid in my said.. (very deep!)

Okay, now I know you're just rolling your eyes, scrolling away and looking for the end of this story, lemme fast-forward to August 2017. I somehow found time, purpose, courage, strength, confidence,will power, (after fighting several physical and spiritual battles in my foundation 😤😂) to start this digital mind!

Seriously, I can't keep calm!
Because now I can pour out all that goes through my mind on paper..sorry on computer (the world has moved to a permanent site. Lol.)
And no, this is not a blog, it's a mind on the loose!
Feels good to be seen...
Feels good to be heard...
Feels good to THINK OUT LOUD!

THE FIRE INCIDENT (FICTION)

Image
“Put 50 naira akara there, 50 naira yam, no put stew” “Okay Sir” It wasn’t yet 7am but Mama Ebuka had already pitched her tent at her regular spot, with quite a number of homo-sapiens clustering around her like a swarm of bees, trying to buy some of the fried snacks before the tray becomes empty. From behind a fat, light-skinned woman came and almost knocked me off from where I was standing. "Mma-Ebuka give me 200naira akara and 100naira ogi, my children don late for school" "Madam but you met me here” a lanky man with a grumpy voice, too deep for his size echoed from my left. "Oga na lie, you met me here” the woman snorted. Their voices increased as other buyers joined in the argument, trying to separate the duo and I was just standing there like someone in a trance, unperturbed, like someone who is communing with a supreme being which no-one else could see. My gaze was fixed on the bright red fire that rocked the bottom of the gigantic...

FINDING MY MUSE- Things I love to do.

Image
It’s until you’re on a sweet romantic date or at an interview and you’re asked “So, what do you love to do, asides work?” you won’t realize how good you are at stammering. I’ve been asked this a couple of times and each time, I just can’t give a tangible answer, up until two weeks ago when a senior colleague threw the question at me again! A good reason why we are being caught in this spider web is because half the time, we are trying to sound fun, professional, cute or not to sound basic so it just clogs whatever we’re going to say.  So I decided to draw up a list of things I genuinely love to do, without filtering or trying to impress anyone. 1)       Hanging out- Especially with family or close friends. 2)       Eating out - With bae, primarily because I aint gotta pay! I also like it when my girls and I eat out. 3)       GOING TO THE MOVIES- With bae too, there’s just something ...
