Limitless

Welcome to Limitless!  Maybe you feel relegated? Do I really matter in the grand scheme of things?  Will this ever end? Why am I caught in this web of circles?  Why are things not going the way I planned? Will it ever get better than this? When will it get better?  Does God actually care about me? I think God has His own favorite people because why can’t He just do this one thing for me?  How long do I have to wait? I’ve prayed, I’ve fasted, I’m prepared. When exactly do I see the light? I’ve been in this tunnel for what seems like forever. I’m so tired.  Bro, I feel you. To be real.  Let me share a scripture. This was Jesus speaking.  “Look at the ravens. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for God feeds them. And you are far more valuable to him than any birds!… And if God cares so wonderfully for flowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith?” Luke‬...

Welcome to Limitless!  Today, I’m grateful that I have a father who was present during my developmental years and who is still present in my life.  One of the fondest childhood memories I have of my dad is from when I was about 5 years old. I tagged along with him to buy some bread that day and he carried me on his back all the way to and from the bread shop. That act, as simple as it may seem, is forever ingrained in my memory, and it reminds me of how affectionate my dad was and still is. He still rarely says “I love you”, but he definitely shows it. :) My dad never flogged me, and I can remember him punishing me only once. There were lots of scolding, seizing, and corrections though. Hehe. I was a softie, so scolds could make me cry, you didn’t even need to cane me. Lol. I remember that he would always say “o fé té” which means you are about to pass your boundary as a note of warning. If my dad shouts at you once, you would rethink your whole life. Hehe. I wonder why he was...

Today is a special day!  After, that one interview with Victor Alausa,  Life as a Theatre Arts Student , I’ve not brought anyone to write on Limitless. So, i’m really excited for this one!  Today, Edna shares her experience and view on Unrequited Love! Enjoy the read!  ~  Unrequited love is a story a lot of us know well or have probably experienced, but my story unfolded during the days of the COVID-19 pandemic.  It started in the isolation of lockdown, when the world outside was hushed.  I was home from school and started catching up on old friends from secondary school and then I reconnected with him - let’s call him S. We bonded over our shared love for nostalgia of our high school days and soon, our conversations extended beyond the nostalgia to our current feelings.  S and I started video calling each other daily. It was incredible how we connected despite never meeting in person...

Welcome to Limitless!  I feel like if I did just as much as sigh this day, it would be enough. How do you fathom that someone who was once here, who you once talked to, laughed with, and ate with, is no longer here?  Brutal reckless death.  I heard about the passing of one of my university friends/roommates some days ago, and it is so hard to come to terms with. I really feel like I’m still in denial. Maybe her family would still come tell us that she isn’t actually gone. Is it just a rumor? It’s too painful to believe, and writing about it is even much harder. It’s making it feel real, which is so hard to accept.  I tried to tie a bow with my pant’s belt this morning, and my mind immediately went back to her. She would tie my sabbath’s dress bow so perfectly that even after we moved from Room D16, if I saw her on my way to sabbath worship, I would still ask her to tie a bow for me. How do I move on from that memory?  I don’t know if what I feel is pain or numbn...
