THE JOURNEY OF LIFE

Episode 3

It was another week in the city of Lagos, Ojodu Berger precisely. As usual mom and dad has gone to work, Tolani and her siblings are in school.  Grandma comes often and the house help get changed every year. Mama was not around to witness all those moments of beatings but thank God,  mama was around that evening it happened again.

It was not only Mrs Alabi(Tolani's mum) that was beaten, mama was also included when she was trying to help her daughter. (Tolani's dad parents had died) What an abomination. Tolani and her siblings could not take it anymore as David ran to stop his dad from hitting his mum and mama. Ibukun went to bite him but Tolani stood back, she did not move from where she was standing. Mr Alabi(Tolani's dad) pushed David and Ibukun and he stopped beating.

By the time Mrs Alabi would raise her head, her cheeks had swollen and everyone could not stop crying. Shortly,  Mr Alabi came inside, he prostrated and begged mama and his wife for what he did. He said he was angry.  Everyone knows he has angry issues but it was getting worst everyday.  The next morning when Mrs Alabi was dressing up Tolani, she looked and said “Mummy what would you say happened to you ”. She smiled and said,“ I would lie I hit my face on the wall”.

Tolani held her tears as she does not want her to cry and She smiled back faintly. They all stepped out and wish each other good bye as they faced their direction. Getting to school,  her sit partner Bimbo noticed her and asked if everything was alright. She smiled and said “ I am perfectly good ”. After all the school activities, Bimbo asked if they could walk home together because their house is not far from each other and she said “Yes”

Tolani saw her mum and Mrs Catherine (the principal)  discussing as she and Bimbo was moving towards the school gate. “Mom,  what are you doing here” Tolani asked.

DON'T BE FRUSTRATED

Many at times, you don't look like what you are going through  Because you have tried the mastery skills of hiding and managing situations and have gotten used to it  Many at times, you wonder why people who has done the worst things ever, still get more favour than you doing the right thing  Many at times, Guys has played you even the believers and you kept wondering if the fault is from you because you are not just getting it right in relationships  Sometimes, you always try to understand the situation but the truth is, you are tired of it and most time you find it hard to let go and forget the situation. Sometimes, you just want to follow the crowd but you realize in between that you got lost and can't just proceed with the plan.. I know things can be difficult  I know many people or various things are frustrating  I know it's not easy living in circles with no progression I know you have plans but it just doesn't go the right way  So dear sisters, ...

THE JOURNEY

Last 2 year, I started a journey on my health and I'm grateful. Even though I wasn't consistent especially after the coaching session but I had to strive to ensure the journey continues even though I fall, I still get myself back  Imagine being a lover of heels and you can't wear it for too long Having to sweat profusely, Having knee ache pains, Sewing new dresses because you can't wear your favorite dress Imagine lot's more because of weight gain, That was me.. Before you go further and think it's only food that cause weight gain.  Mine wasn't, I could say it was stay at home, free hands and no stress kind of reason (I don't know how best to put it) I know I'm not a slim person but I was already weighing 110kg. Lolz, 2 bags of cement. Then I told myself Temilade, it has to change  I found the solution DIET, It was at the point where I realized I couldn't be myself and also seeing changes, I decided to take my health serious  I subscribed to a di...

A DAILY REMINDER

I know you are going through all shades of different phase, I know you are thinking of what next, I know the hardship is tough and you feel your strength is failing but, This is a reminder To relax, To not get angry over small things, To stay calm. A daily reminder To be yourself, To not care what people think, To know you can be anything. To love yourself, To not hurt yourself, To not work yourself up. This is a daily reminder That you are beautiful, That you can be hardworking  That you are amazing, That you will succeed. To always have hope, To have faith, To know everything will be okay. A daily reminder That you have made it so far already, That you haven't given up, And you are going to be amazing. Don't give up. Keep holding on and believing.  It's a start of a new year and it's too early to feel pressured or insecure God cannot fail you, Be persist in that Job hunt Be persist in trusting God  Be expectant, don't loose guard  Everything will fall in place...
