Relax- A Peek into my Head

Image
Welcome to Limitless!  *Laughs in stress. This week has been a lot. I’ve overused and exhausted all of my social battery and I’m thinking of the ways that I can limit my social interaction today, which is Sunday. Lol. Forget my online/social presence, I am definitely not a social butterfly.  In fact, I still get shy when people comment on something I posted or wrote online when they see me in person. I really have to get used to that, I guess. Everything I do, professionally, at church, and online are almost counter-my actual-personality. Lol. I just coined a word.  I see it as God pulling me out of my shell and teaching me some things…  Lol. Do I sound too deep?😂 I don’t think so.  I just have to gist you guys about this chinchin that I tried to bake yesterday😂 which still feels like today because it’s 1am and I’m still awake. I wanted to bake six cups, I had started mixing the dry ingredients when I realized I had no eggs.  I had seen this day in a drea...

Is Compromise in Relationships Realistic?

Image
Welcome to Limitless!  I was about to get on the train yesterday when I saw this guy on a phone call smiling sheepishly, about to get on the train too.  We boarded, and apparently he had been talking with his wife or fiancé (I’m assuming) whom he was meeting on the train because he gave her the deepest kiss on the cheek when he saw her. She is probably not a PDA  person because she squirmed and shook her head after. Lollll. They talked and laughed all through their ride that they almost missed their stop. They scampered as they saw that the train’s door was about to close at their stop. My eyes followed them as they got off the train.  Meanwhile, the lady across me turned to look at the couple too. We both knowingly laughed out loud at the drama that just ensued.  She fawned at how cute the couple were and she recounted everything that happened to me not knowing that I had been watching too😂.  Something about her struck me though. She had the most beautifu...

Nigerians in Canada Speak on their First Culture Shocks

Photo from Guillaume Jaillet on Unsplash  Welcome to Limitless!  Yayyy! I’m excited for this one. A huge thank you to everyone that contributed to this. I really appreciate it!  Here’s what some Nigerians in Canada experienced as their first culture shocks.  1. A.M- Air.  This one is a shocker because this person is Canadian, but I’m guessing she is talking about the poor air quality we had last summer. The air was smokey and humid as a result of wild fires; that wasn’t fun. This probably came as a shock to her having lived in Canada her whole life.  2. F.O- People find it disrespectful when you say sir or ma. 😂😂😂. I was shocked too o. Let me even gist you guys. That’s how one day, my new coworker who just migrated from a non-African country kept on calling my business owner “Sir” or would put Mr. in front of his name. It was so awkward. But, I understood where she was coming from. The owner had to tell her that his name is just his name and there was no...

Friendship Love Languages

Image
Welcome to Limitless!  I firmly believe that as much as there are love languages in relationships, they also apply to friendships.  I posted on my story some time ago about how I was going to start writing thoughtful notes about friends and family on their birthdays if I wanted to. I would be doing this regardless of the length of their birthday wish or whatever they posted on my own birthday.  You see, I had come from a place of going to see how other people wished me a happy birthday or the energy they put in while wishing me to determine how I would wish them. And it started when I noticed that I would type really long messages about friends, and they would either trivialize the messages I send or give zero energy on my own birthday.  I took down the story talking about the issue because it looked really petty. But really, I was just responding to unreciprocated affection, or let’s say ill-reciprocated affection.  The thing now is, I have noticed that people ...

Adulthood- The Bill is Billing

Image
Welcome to Limitless! And happy third month, hehe!  ~ Reallyyyy! This adulthood is not for the weak. The bills are billing and the upkeep is upkeeping🤣. Yeah, can you tell I’m a Gen Z yet?! Everything is everythinging😂😂.  I was talking to one of my guys on Saturday and he was like he’s thinking about what he would eat when he gets home. I actually laughed out and shook my head. These are the issues. You’ve just gotta look after yourself. If you decide to drink garri and sleep, no one will question you. Regardless, you still have to fix a meal by yourself if you would like to participate in the eating experience😀. What? You would order a meal? In my opinion, it’s not even cost-effective for this adulthood financial journey. It’s just better to cook your own food; you save more money, and you know what you are eating that way. I mean occasional food orders are very needed.  I personally order a meal when I’m sick, achieved a feat, or I’m superrr lazy to cook and have no...
