BLACKBIRD



"That very day, i could remember we were discussing about my future and I told my parents I don't want to become a lawyer, I want to be an actress. They flared up and shouted No! You cannot be an actress, you need to become a lawyer. I apologized and made them realise it was something I have passion for but they told me to shut up. So, I stood up, rejected it and walked towards my room. Suddenly, my daddy shouted and called me Bastard, while my mum called me Blackbird. I was shocked as I quickly ran into my room and began to cry

Two different names in a day over a discussion about my future ” Temiloluwa said as she wiped her tears and she was about to continue when Mr Bode the counsellor interrupted by asking "Blackbird....How?

“Blackbird, it signify something odd and different. Which means, what i represent among my siblings. I hate my mum anytime she called me that name and sometimes, I doubt if truly she is my biological mum. She could not even defend me. Since that day, I saw my parent as sorrow and pain. I just want to fly but I ask myself, Why do I want to fly, I am never going to fly because my mother name is Sorrow and my daddy name is Pain. That's what they brought into my life”she said and began to cry.

I must live their life, so tell me how am I going to fly, how am I going to live my life ” She wept as she held Mr Bode's hands and she continued
 “I want to fly, I want to do what I have passion for but I have been rendered voiceless. Can you please help me out? She asked as went on her knees crying.

“Hmmm Temiloluwa, there is only a way. We have to commit your parents into God's hands through Prayers. I want you to start praying about your parents, and I would also join you in prayer. He prayed with her and she went home.

I know you might be thinking that PRAYER in this kind of situation. Yes! Its prayer, after you can go ahead to talk to them. Pray and believe, cry unto the lord (Exodus 15:25).
I love you!

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...
