LETTER 2 ME

-

Dear Me,

How was your week?  I hope you had a great one? Did you get my last letter? I hope that it met you well. Oh i almost forgot to ask. Were you at the Royal wedding? I wasn't. Not in body anyway. I attended via twitter. And as i read the posts and saw the comments, two things came to mind to share with you.

The first is to reiterate the fact that you do not let anyone's life be your standard. Now,  don't get me wrong. I know i once talked to you about mentorship. But mentorship is very different from patterning your life after someone.

Meghan is 37, the Prince is 33. And you're depressed because you have not found love at 25? Common. Don't let no one rush you with their timelines or lifestyle. Its in trying to be so much of someone else that you lose essence of who you are.

The second things is to learn, but more importantly, to apply. I couldn't help but note how a lit of people kept noting things about the wedding that is contrary to what we Nigerians do. As i read them, it occurred to me that its just the same way our education system is. Lots of theories, no practicals. And even the theories are not tailored to our Nigerian environment.

I don't want you to be like that. See, but look. Hear, but listen. What am i trying to say? Learning is really in the practice, not just the knowledge. Observe, but apply too.

Till i write you again, be good. And take care.

Love,
Nathan.

LIFE AS IT IS- VOWS

Vow's When he approached home, he was full of remorse. All he felt within him was sadness. And apologies, all he had constructed on his way back home. He was going to start with the gift he had bought and then go down on his knees. He would plead until she forgave him and this time he promised himself, this time things would be alright. He opened the door with care. Moving quietly, not doing anything that would disturb her. When he entered, it was silent. Their house had never been silent. It was either she was cooking while humming to herself or listening to her favorite artists. Songs of Lana Del Rey and Halsey. Most times she would sing along and one couldn't help but feel the longing in her voice. Those times, he had felt sobered. Not knowing how to help, not matter how much he had tried. This time it was not what he expected, and even though he didn't want to admit it to himself, it felt peaceful. Once upon a time, their life had been like a fairy tale. N...

The Sojourner's Diary: ALMA GEMELA(SOUL MATE)

The Sojourner's Diary: ALMA GEMELA The Spanish word for soul mate stands for "alma gemela". You know, I've always wondered. It has always had me bothered. That question. Simple as it may sound, it is a question that has troubled my mind relentlessly. How many soul mates do we get in a lifetime?  Have you ever met someone and out of the blue, y'all connect and a bond is forged? You spend moments together and moments turn into hours, hours into days, days into weeks and weeks into months and months into years, years into more years, you get the picture. Everything is fine is the beginning and then the misunderstandings begin and then you start to see how different y'all really are and then your three hours of calls become three minutes of awkwardness with so many words in your minds but none of them said. You then start to wonder, "was this really my soulmate or did I get it all wrong?" Are we even meant to be together? Eventually, you start to let eac...
