Documenting 2025

It's day 304 of documenting 2025. 61 days to 2026! Today? I'm grateful 🥲 It's the last day of the month! So much has happened in this month... And a new chapter is unfolding. I give all glory to God, because it's not by my power or might. It's only by the grace of God 😌 Today wasn't so eventful....as I was at home, in my aunt's place. It was chores all morning after breakfast...and into the afternoon. By the time I was done, I was so exhausted and I was thinking about the worst case scenario...as I wasn't online all morning to work on my job. After my bath, I took a long nap to rest up, as I couldn't concentrate on the task on my phone. Then I came online a few hours ago, and it wasn't as bad as I had thought. I'm done with all that now....but there's still more to be done. Anyways, that's the update on how today went. I'll still be indoors tomorrow, packing up for Sunday....when I'll be moving in. Let's see ...

It's day 303 of documenting 2025. 62 days to 2026! Well, today was a huge success! 😄 I finally completed my clearance and got my accomodation. I was super excited when I was given my mattress and bedcover, as well as my hostel space. I actually went there to see it! So, there are 4 ladies in one room and I got the lower bunk. (Yep! There's a bunk bed!) My dad was also happy when he learned that he didn't have to buy a mattress or bedcover from outside. Anything of that sort makes him happy, because he doesn't have to worry about any extra expenses in that aspect. I give God all the glory for how today went. I'm still on my way back...in a bus. We stayed longer at the school, because my brother's clearance hasn't reflected in the school system. He's going to have to come back again for his hostel space. Well, it's 6:55pm now, and I'm probably going to publish this post a little later. As in, much much later. I'm just getting my ty...

It's day 302 of documenting 2025. 63 days to 2026! Well, today was clearance day. It went well for the most part, but then the school authorities decided to play on us. Processes that were not made easy for any of us. We had to do this....wait, and then do that again. After the so-called photocopy of documents, we were to get a so-called file. And then the stupid wait started. Apparently, it was the school folder that each student was to get. 3 folders per student. It was supposed to be easy, pay and get your folders... And then it was to compile your documents and you were done. But no.... We had to wait for the file 😒 As if that wasn't enough, the person selling it made us wait (on our feet) for almost two hours. My legs hurt so much and I had to squat a few times. The other students in front complained, and then some said that the person went out. Then about half an hour later, they told us that the file was finished! What! 😲 After waiting for almost two hours....

It's day 301 of documenting 2025. 64 days to 2026! Okay, so today was another indoor day. I was supposed to go out to for my physical clearance, but the rains came down hard 🌧️ My dad said we would go tomorrow. Well, I did quite a number of chores...and ate just brunch. Which was a full plate by the way. Worth it...😋 Then I had my afternoon nap, which extended into the evening. After waking, I remembered that I haven't typed today's post. I also wanted to share that I had reset my phone last night....because the device wasn't functioning as needed. It started to function better, like a new phone. In that light, I had a chat with ChatGPT about the reason why....and the whole concept of transition, which I'm going through right now. I'll share that chat after today's highlights. By the way, I didn't later post about my 300-day milestone... I wasn't really into it, because my phone was misbehaving. Would probably do that tonight. Let's...

It's day 300 of documenting 2025. 65 days to 2026! Wow....I did it! 300 days! As much as it hasn't been easy for the past few days, I was able to pull through. I can only thank God 🤗 If you notice, I didn't use the usual countdown poster, because today is a milestone day. Man! I deserve some cake! If you want to get me one, make it chocolate 😋 You know, on a normal day....I would be posting this milestone and letting everyone know about it. This time around, maybe an X tweet would do. Or probably on my WhatsApp status. Let me do a little reflection here... A lot has really happened in the last 50 days since my last milestone. There wasn't any much events...just that a lot has changed since then. For one, I'm no longer in Lagos. I also have more than 100 followers on X....and I'm less active on Instagram and Whatsapp. If only I wasn't so lazy to edit the videos for Instagram, I would probably be consistent in posting. As for Wh...

It's day 299 of documenting 2025. 66 days to 2026! Wow...the days are counting down real fast. And it's the last Sunday of the month. Happy New Week, friend ☺️  I wish you a wonderful week ahead. Well, it's a late night post. So where do I start from?  I think I would just start by saying that I'm so grateful 🥲  Grateful to God for the kind of understanding He gave me and the wisdom to act accordingly. It's actually wonderful to walk with God. And I think I'm not so new to it anymore....but at the stage where I'm learning to recognize Him in my thoughts. At the stage where I'm learning to work with Him and actually do what He tells me to do immediately. I fumbled in that aspect today. At a point, I was thinking that my own will could be trusted. He showed me that it's otherwise....that none of what I do would make me "good" before Him. I just have to yield to Him....and surrender. I actually learned a bit about the Holy Ghost as well. It...

It's day 298 of documenting 2025. 67 days to 2026! A letter 💌 Written in a way that seemed incoherent but written with much love 💕 From a friend I made through one bold step. More details on that later.... It's Saturday and we went on an outing! 😄 From my aunt's house where we kept our bags to my maternal family house. I saw my late mum's father, my only living grandpa....and my mum's brother, whom I haven't met before. They were so happy to see us. Me, my brother and my dad. My mum's sister also came to the house to see us. She's very chatty and as she recounted stories, I realized where my mum got her warrior spirit from. It seems like it runs in the family. My mum's brother prayer for us and gave us fruits and cans of malt. My dad already started talking me out of drinking mine...because he knew of my picky system. Can you imagine that I couldn't eat bread and pap before leaving my aunt's house? It's li...

It's day 297 of documenting 2025. 68 days to 2026! It's Friday! 😄 And I'm already in the school premises for the biometric capturing stuff. Seems like it's going to take a while, so I just thought, "Why not type while I wait?" Here we go! First, I want to talk about my state, Anambra. It's actually not so different from Lagos, just more billboards, less bad roads(at least the ones I've seen), and one significant difference from Lagos. Women ride motorcycles. Yep! That's right! I found it amusing when I traveled here for a visit about six years ago with my mum. After living with my grandma, who owned her own motorcycle....and even riding at the back of my aunt's motorcycle, I realized that most of the women who rode motorcycles probably owned them. That's quite a difference from Lagos, where it seems strange for a woman to mount a motorcycle, which is seemingly reserved for men. Apart from that, nothing else. The...

It's day 296 of documenting 2025. 69 days to 2026! Well, today was travel day. And we're still on the trip as I'm typing this. It's 10:38 PM....and it's been a long day. It started with a long wait for the vehicle that we're currently in. I don't even know where we are right now. All I know is, we're headed somewhere. I think the highlight of today's journey would be the stops on the way by the customs officers. That was what delayed us. We were stopped more than 7 times....and we had to wait for 30 minutes so the driver could clear his papers and settle the officers. There was also the incident of bad roads and an unlucky turn. We didn't know the road ahead was blocked, until we got to where the blockage was....a trailer fallen in the middle of the road. We had to turn back and proceed to another route. This journey actually taught me a few things, that I would like to reflect on. But of course, that would be after we...

It's day 295 of documenting 2025. 70 days to 2026! It's my last day in Lagos! 😄 I'm packed and ready to go...and by God's grace, we will make the trip safely. Well, so far...I have met with some of my students from the school. Pictures, hugs and moments of "we'll miss you oo". It's funny to think that I won't see them again till God knows when. It was heartfelt 😌 Something weird also happened. For some reason, I got on Instagram today, after not posting in a while. My page is on hold for now.... I gotta breathe, until the time I get settled over there. Alright, let's get into Highlights for today....and then more thoughts from Duon-mind 😁 365 Days With Self-discipline 📌 On Wandering Aimlessly We are engineered as goal-seeking mechanisms. We are built that way. When we have no personal goal which we are interested in and which “means something” to us, we are apt to “go around in circles,” feel “lost” and find ...

It's 294 of documenting 2025. 71 days to 2026! Today was more of a rest day. Wasn't active until 11am because I wasn't feeling too good. I thank God for His strength. I still went to where I would upload my documents and came back. Just the headache remains tho... But I'll be fine, by the grace of God. Anyways that's about how my day went. I also packed my clothes in my suitcase, after deciding not to put it off till tomorrow. The main packing work has been done then....all that's left are the miscellaneous. Okay, let's get into Highlights for today.... And then I'll share a few more thoughts. By the way, I just wanted to mention that this documentation counts as writing. If I'm on a writing streak (which I am!), I can probably write about anything. The main idea is that I write every day ✍🏼 Just wanted to put that out there... 365 Days With Self-discipline 📌 On the All-or-Nothing Mentality "Part of abandoning the all-or-n...

It's day 293 of documenting 2025. 72 days to 2026! Hey hey, it's Monday! And it's actually getting serious. We will definitely be traveling on Wednesday. I'm at the place where I printed out all the documents needed. I haven't uploaded them yet tho... Still waiting for the portal to open, as it's not working. It's past 2pm now....and I'm just waiting around. Dad wants to make sure we have all the needed documents before we travel and that's what brought me outside. Thank God I did the laundry before stepping out. (Last laundry session at home 🥲) Still not sure when I'll be going home today, and I have an X space to host today. It will be later in the evening around 6pm or so. Let's see how it goes. Any other update? Ah yes....I'm back on good terms with God. I was reconciled last night, after opening up to Him in prayer. And then this morning, He told me why yesterday didn't go so well, and what I should do. It's up t...

It's day 292 of documenting 2025. 73 days to 2026! How did my Sunday go? Not so happy 😪 Why? I didn't start it with Jesus. I'm kinda new to walking with Christ..and so far He has been very patient and understanding with me. Some days, I would be so connected to Him and the day would go well. Other days, He would show me just how much I need Him. Today was one of those other days. It's a very long story... And it started with a phone call. One that I now realize, I wasn't supposed to answer. So, this morning, the guy helping me with my admission documents called me. I knew why he was calling, because he disturbed me as well yesterday. The call woke me up....and that was the first thing I did. Answer a phone call, instead of spending some quiet time with God. Then I had to go out on an errand. As I was walking, I talked to God. I apologized for not praying like I was supposed to. Then something happened. After I said, "I was too tired to pray". ...

It's day 291 of documenting 2025. 74 days to 2026! Phew! What a Saturday! It's not even 2pm yet and I'm already as busy as a bee. Maybe even busier! 😄 Why? Well, it's because God is already answering my prayers. As a result, I get busy in service to others. Working like I'm working for God and not man. It literally feels like I'm escaping the online space so I can type this post. I know that God made it that way...because I know that if I don't do it now, it will probably be till night time, when I settle down. And then, I'm usually very tired. Okay, so what's the gist? Hmm 🤔  Let's see.... It's probably my last Saturday with my siblings...and this time around, it doesn't feel rushed. It doesn't feel like there were more things I could have done. It just feels right. I'm already doing this and that.... Getting documents, posting online, building connections....quite a number of things. Like I used to do before. But t...
