Documenting 2025

It's day 249 of documenting 2025. Happy Weekend ☺️ And good news, my friend  Tomorrow is the big 250 🎉  I don't even know what I'm going to write....so I won't think too much about it. ( Maybe reflect on some things? ) Anyways, today is going great... At least, typing by 5pm in the evening isn't so late. And my day consisted of a lot of walking and errands....phew!  Right now, I'm chilling in my room...and feeling like a thousand bucks. (Too much detail...😄) Let me first share the closing poem from the book, Lanterns For The Lost....a collection of poems written by moi. There's no reflective question at the end like the others tho...because it's the very last poem. When the Lanterns Fade And now, if the lanterns begin to dim, let it not be from loss but because your own light has begun to rise. What you held in your hands was never the flame only the match, only the mirror, only the question. Let these verses follow you like footsteps in the mist not l...

It's day 247 of documenting 2025. It's another mid-week. Weekend vibes loading? Yep 😎  But for now, it's still Thursday. A thought just came to me now. I'm like, "why write all this stuff?" Documentation, sharing thoughts, highlighting certain books... " Why even bother?" Someone may ask, and follow up with, "None of it is relevant, you're just writing about and for yourself". That's the thought. Now, I'm thinking about a response to this thought...kinda like a counter thought. So, here goes... "Why write all this stuff?"  Because I can! "Why even bother?" I consider this a training....to keep writing even when no one is reading, to keep going when nothing is working, and most importantly, to manifest God's aspect of creativity in me. "None of this is relevant, you're just writing about and for yourself". Well, yes and no. I'm writing for myself to document how this year is going, beca...

It's day 244 of documenting 2025. "Happy New Month ☺️ May the grace of God never depart from you this September." Kinda sounds like the message I sent to my friends this morning. And truly, it's a good prayer. If not for God's grace and mercy, where would I be today? I don't even know. All I know is that it is of the Lord's mercies that we're not consumed or struck dead when we trespass against God, like the old times. For His grace alone, I will forever be grateful 🥲 Did that sound preachy? I can't tell, because I was speaking from my heart. And more importantly, I'm a little excited about the future. You know why? One month from now, I'll be in a different place. Another thing I want to point out is the fact that I'm more uncertain than ever 😕 So, I wrote this in my "thought note", after I reconnected with my friend yesterday. It actually turned out better than I hoped....but then I wrote this: Everything...

It's day 242 of documenting 2025. It's another weekend... And officially the last Saturday of this month. Monday, we step into September. Awesome 😎  Umm... I'm actually thinking of what to write about...maybe I can share a poem from my collection? That could work!  Here's one: The Untroubled Mind Let nothing be called good if it dirties your soul to grasp it if it cracks your trust, costs you your peace, or makes you wear a mask for people who don’t even know you. If it feeds shame, if it turns you cold, if it teaches you to smile with clenched teeth it is not worth it. When you serve your mind first, you won’t need to hide in crowds or disappear in solitude. You’ll stand where you are, free of craving and fear. Desire won’t own you. Death won’t shake you. You’ll face your exit like you face a completed task with calm and quiet pride. Let your whole life aim not for applause or power, but for a mind that needs no fixing. One that holds no pus, no panic, no pretense. No...

It's day 240 of documenting 2025. Mid-week already! Wasn't it yesterday I talked about this week being the last week of August? (Just kidding 😅) My point is, August ends in 4 days. Where have the months gone, really? It's literally 125 days to 2026! Yeah...I'm counting. And it's 10 days to day 250. Wow! I haven't stuck to anything for this long before. This is definitely a first. And I must say, the journey has been.... (Can't quite find the right word 🤔) I still remember the time I almost wanted to stop writing. It was in the ending of June, when I decided to go offline again. The overwhelm and emptiness got to me...again. I say "again", because I've done this before. Last year, I went totally offline in September and October. Two months, 61 days. Then, I told my friends and contacts that I was going on a break. And then went off all social media. I even wrote a "mini blog" during that time. That was when I first started documentin...

It's day 238 of documenting 2025. So, last night I finally worked out the plan I'll be using on X. The anchor message, content pillars...all that stuff. For some reason, I was avoiding it...but it's done now and I can start implementing today. You can check out my profile on X, if you're fond of short-form content. See it here. Do follow me as well, okay? Today's post is go to be different. So, we'll start with the poems first. And then my take, and then we move to highlight. Let's get into it! The Weight of Time Each day, more of your life is spent. And less of it remains. But that’s not the only thing slipping your mind, your clarity, your reach for truth may vanish before your breath does. There may come a time when you still eat, still speak, still feel, but no longer ask why. When wonder dulls, and purpose feels out of reach. So don’t just hurry because death is getting close. Hurry because wisdom might leave first. And what is breath without understand...

It's day 236 of documenting 2025. Happy Sunday y'all! 😊 I hope for a good week ahead. And no matter what, God is in control. I finally read all the former posts before this one....something I don't usually do. And now, there will be no down feeling when I check the post views...because at least one person read the posts. Today, I'll do something different. Instead of starting with Highlights, we'll do a poem instead. Featured from my poetry collection, Lanterns For The Lost. And I might say a few words on the lessons behind the verses. Before the Soul Sets Sail You’ve walked through flame and silence with your eyes, Observed the games the restless spirit plays. You’ve seen how pride and pleasure wear disguise, And how we lose ourselves in borrowed praise Then beg for peace in noise we helped to raise. You’ve met the self that stumbles in its flight, That barters worth for comfort, dream for ease. You’ve sat with grief, with rage, with dim twilight, And learned tha...

It's day 234 of documenting 2025. So, for sometime now, I've been yapping that I'm going to reveal something HUGE. Well, today is the day...on a Friday! Okay, here goes: A month ago today, I decided to do something wild. I had been giving it a lot of thought....and realized that ultimately, it was up to me. And without giving hesitation a chance, I did it. What exactly did I do? I cut my hair. Not just bringing it low....shaving it off completely. The very next day, I was a bald female in her twenties. If you know me personally, you're probably thinking,  What? 😳  But there's a whole story attached to this action...and I'm gonna tell. After, I'll share today's highlights and a few poems from my poetry collection. So, it kinda started when I asked my dad one day, if I could cut my hair. He was like, there's no problem. I didn't really consider it then, until when July was coming to an end. I had already started my journey of "the inner work...

It's day 231 of documenting 2025. What a day! 😏 I spent most of the afternoon sleeping, not even knowing how tired I was. Now, I'm awake by 5:45pm, just typing today's post. No matter, the streak is still alive 🔥  I realized something....after thinking that I should promote the posts here more often. I realized two things actually, First is, when you've disconnected from certain people, expect them to not care anymore about what you do. Second is, sometimes you just have to prove to yourself that you can keep going even if nothing's working. Yesterday, I saw a post on X from Russell Brunson, one of the world's most efficient online marketers. And in his post he said and I quote, "Sometimes, entrepreneurship asks if you're willing to continue even when nothing is working". My reply to the post went along the lines of, "If the answer is yes, then you're fit for entrepreneurship. And if the answer is no, maybe you're to try something el...

It's day 229 of documenting 2025. It's a sunny Sunday over here. A little windy but it's fine. And it's 2:07pm as I type this. Normally, I would already be planning how my week would go, as well as the tasks I need to complete. However, I put out a tweet on X this morning and I stated the fact that things won't always go the way we plan them. We should just focus on living today instead of worrying about tomorrow. That, I vibe with. Infact, that's how I've been able to keep writing on this blog, every single day. I just write for today....like I'm doing now. And one thing occurred to me few moments ago. The things is: if I write something worth sharing, I should share it, not make it sit there. So, I'm only on X now...but it wasn't always that way. At the beginning of this year, I was on Instagram, Threads, and Facebook. After a few months, I dropped Threads and IG...to focus on Facebook. I opened my X account in May, but stopped when it became m...

It's day 228 of documenting 2025. Happy Weekend, dear reader ☺️ If you're just reading this post for the first time, you may be wondering...what's the line above? Well, it's me counting down the days to 2026....and building my 365-day writing streak. I want to start this post with this: "When you understand the mechanics of your weakness, you can rewire it into a strength." The keyword, REWIRE. I realize just now...that our brain is basically a big supercomputer. Bad wiring leads to bad system processing. That is, bad patterns lead to bad character or behavior. The same goes for the good. And it all comes down to how we think...as well as our habits. When you become self-aware of the patterns of your weakness (what triggers it), you can replace a factor or two and transform it into something that makes you stand out.  It sounds simple, right? And it is. You can just start by writing with a pen on paper ✍🏼 Write all about your weakness. If it's a habit, wr...

It's day 227 of documenting 2025. It's a Friday....and I'm typing late. Yep! Didn't write today's post on time, because it's 10:25pm right now...barely two hours before the next day. And I was kinda discouraged because I hadn't seen any views on the former blog posts before this one. At some point, I thought  "What's the use? No one's reading anyway!" But here I am....writing through the twisted mind of mine that got me to not type early in the first place. So much for using myself as a test subject....😒 I'm going through today's usual section, and I'll share a poem like I promised yesterday. Alright, let's get it over with... 365 Days With Self-discipline  📌 On Being Stuck in the Past "People are all over the world telling their one dramatic story and how their life has turned into getting over this one event. Now their lives are more about the past than their future." Quote by Chuck Palahniuk If you’re using a...
