Life's diary

Let’s be true to ourselves, a breakup is so painful. And you know what makes it so painful? It’s because you on the other hand, gave it your commitment, invested your time & emotions and yet this other person you’re involved with, doesn’t think it’s worth it and is choosing to let it all away like they don’t even care. So, at first you try to make them see reasons why you can both work, remind them of the beautiful memories you guys created (I believe you should have beautiful memories else what’s the point being with this person, right?), the promised future you had for each other and even the hurdles you had to overcome together. Then at that point where there’s no rede m ption in sight. You start to imagine how you’re going to live life without this person. It gets even more difficult if this is someone who you’ll keep having in your space. Maybe you work together, attend same functions or even live so close to each other. That’s some really challenging situation to deal with. I...

  Getting off my bed yesterday morning, I opened up YouTube on my Laptop and the topmost video on my feed staring right at me was a Kobe Bryant Interview by one of the business channels I am subscribed to. It's a 63 minutes plus record and at first i just thought to maybe see the first 15 minutes, just to get an idea of what the interview was about.But guess what? I ended up watching to the very end, smiles...  A quick introduction about Kobe;  Kobe Bean Bryant, known unanimously as Kobe. He was an American former professional basketball player. He played his entire 20-year career with the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association. He entered the NBA directly from high school and won five NBA championships. And those are just to mention a few of his many laurels picked up in his glamorous career. In this Interview, Kobe said something that struck me. "of course, my relationships suffered" This he said while explaining the price he had to pay to keep sole ...

 This morning, on my way to the office, seating on that bike, like a rush of wind, came this thought to me "'what if I took the other bike? What would have happened?'' And from there, the thought spiraled into several other thoughts, '' what if I delayed some five minutes more?" "What if I wore another T-shirt?" "What if I decided to sit back at home today?" and many other 'what if's' I asked myself After so many thoughts, I looked at life as an aggregate summation of our choices every day.  It reminded me of a particular day I was heading out to an event and was held up in traffic and it was starting to frustrate me. So what did I do? I came off the bus heading to Ketu, Lagos and made my way trekking through so many shortcuts to the bus stop. It was on my way that I met a friend of mine with whom we I did Pre-degree with, back then in the university. This was someone I had not seen in over 7 years, getting to see him in...

  Why do you think dogs are widely regarded as "Man's best friend"? Mostly because of their close relations, loyalty and companionship with humans. We see how that a dog protects, guards, gives attention, affection and loyalty. Take a cue from that It mostly captures all that we crave for and desire in friendship; Loyalty? Have you found anyone who detests having loyal people around? Affection? It's why we relate We all want to feel accepted and loved. Not judged and condemned How well of a friend are you? Do your friends know you're their friend? Who are your friends? Are they good friends? Do a check Self evaluation is the bedrock of self improvement.

The Rain Maker is gone! As I seat here, listening to  'Send down the rain' continuously.. I say to myself  "It is no coincidence that right there in the rain, in the sleep of the night, you passed on" Talent, creativity and passion at its finest Majek Fashek Majekodunmi Fasheke The reggae music crooner who toured far and wide with his voice and art,  Bringing people together, inspiring hope and change wherever he went It's sad to have you go this way to the vices of drugs. Yet, you have left a mark. Your voice and music will carry on for me and I'm sure it's same for many others. The 'send down the rain' hit maker is gone to a better place Rest on, Soldier..
