Overwhelmed

Image
  Shaken, confused, hurt, stressed. You let your walls down and they showed you a million reasons you shouldn’t have. You feel like the whole world is against you, you are irked at the sight of your trigger.  Everything’s overwhelming. You start asking yourself questions about what exactly you are doing. Staggering and pondering, you wonder if really there’s light at the end of the tunnel.  You feel resentful, or maybe angry.  Hey, you are not alone.  Trust me, it will get better.  This is a reminder that you are enough.  Till next Saturday. Bye. ❤️

Feyinti: The Finale

Image
W elcome to Limitless! This is the final episode of the Feyinti Series.  Did I hear right? Did I just hear this guy say baby? I closed my eyes and calmed myself.  “How are you doing?” he asked again much to my annoyance. “How am I doing? Are you really asking how I’m doing after the stunt you pulled? Make it make sense Jide,” I started to wonder what game he was trying to play. “Care to explain what you posted on your WhatsApp status?” I spat out.  Then, he answered, “Oh, what did you see?” At that point, it was like cold water and fire right in my chest and belly. I was getting really infuriated. “Are you seriously playing dumb right now? Was it your ghost that posted happy 20 years anniversary or whatever?”  “You are exaggerating! It’s just 6 months. It’s not like I deprived you of love or anything you wanted during those 6 months. I mean, you didn’t exactly notice. So, why are you so pressed?” Immediately Wunmi heard this because the phone was on loudspeaker, she just put her hands

The Undoing

Welcome to Limitless! This is the third part of ‘The Feyinti Series’.  It’s been three weeks since Jide pulled his ‘peace offering’ stunt. That day was the last day we had an actual conversation. He has been so distant. Meanwhile, Alex and I have been growing closer. I just love his vibe because we connect on so many levels. We had exchanged numbers about two weeks ago. He makes me laugh so much and he is just the sweetest. I had not gone out with him yet, not that he didn’t ask but I just felt like I couldn’t do it since I was in a relationship. Wait what? I choked on the water I was drinking and shifted my gaze to the wall in front of me. I blinked twice to make sure I wasn’t hallucinating.  ‘Happy 6 months anniversary LOML’ was the caption at the bottom of my boyfriend’s post. 6 freaking months! He was facing the camera with a grin while a girl’s hands were wrapped around his neck with her back to the camera. I could only see her wig and earrings coupled with Jide’s wide smile. The

Feyinti’s Choice

  Welcome to Limitless!  This is the second part of Feyinti’s Dilemma. Enjoy❤️ “Hey, thanks so much for offering to give me a lift” I said in a very enthusiastic voice. “It’s no problem! I’m Alex and where do I drop you?” He replied gingerly. “I’m Feyinti and I live in the estate just after this street, Hope that’s your route too” I asked. “No Feyinti but I don’t mind dropping you off if you don’t mind” He replied with a hint of care in his voice. “Oh! Thanks, I would love that since it’s even raining.” “Is that Asa I hear?” I asked as I heard the soft music playing. “Of course! I love her music so much.” He answered “Wait what? No freaking way, I love her tooo, I mean, her voice is so soothing! Have you listened to Lucid?...” We kept on talking about our tastes in music, our side hustles, the schools we attend.  I was surprised at how we could say so much within five minutes. The way we instantly clicked was a mystery. He was so cool with a different kind of energy. Plus I love anyone

Feyinti’s Dilemma

Welcome to Limitless!  The story you are about to read is fiction. Enjoy❤️ I closed my eyes and stood with my hands wrapped around my stomach. The cold shower was doing a good job in keeping my mind engaged. Memories of when I first met him started playing out. I still remember it like yesterday. He was a new student in my secondary school.  I had heard of a new student being in school the day before and how girls were fawning over him but I paid no attention. Seeing him on the assembly ground the next day made all sorts of feelings start running through me. Immediately our eyes met, I felt a very loud thump in my chest. My heart was racing and I could feel my palms getting colder. I had never felt that way towards any guy. He was wearing jean trousers, a white t-shirt and a red jacket because he had not yet collected his uniform. He was so handsome, in fact, the most handsome boy I had ever seen. I had to take my eyes off him when I saw that he caught me staring again.  We were in SSS

The Opposite of Love

Image
Hello guysssssss!!! Welcome back to Limitless! Whoosh! These past two weeks has been a rollercoaster of emotions. I didn’t publish an article last week because I was just too sad and angry at everything that has been happening. It started with a clamor for change. The cry for an end to police brutality transitioning into a call for accountability. It’s so unfortunate that we got bullets and indifference in return.  The Lekki Massacre is still something I think about, and try to reason why some group of individuals would want to harm people. The heart of man indeed is desperately wicked. I mean, you didn’t spray water on them even if you wanted to be mean. Live rounds of bullets! Wickedness. We can never forget! 20th October, 2020! Then, the President came to speak and showed no empathy or acknowledgement for the lives that were lost at the Lekki Toll Gate? A democratic government indeed. Today, let’s talk about the opposite of love. I’m sure you are already wondering what else the oppo

SARS BRUTALITY- 3 men share their experiences

Image
Welcome to Limitless!  This week has been rough as memories of experiences some of us have had with men from the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) keeps coming, forcing us to start protests and trend hashtags.   SARS officers profile youths based on appearance. They harass people who have piercings, dreadlocks, tattoos, or who are using expensive gadgets and cars. They conduct stop and search by the road, even barge into apartments of youths to search without search warrants. These officers are meant to protect us from robbery or concentrate on the robbers. Instead, we see these men killing and being cruel to Nigerian youths for reasons that don’t even sum up. They have been accused of murder, theft, unlawful arrests, unlawful detention, extortion, rape and humiliation.  If you’ve never had a personal experience with SARS, I’m sure you know someone who has. In previous years, the Inspector General of Police had approved the disbandment or reform of this unit. All to no avail, we’ve see

Crazy catcalling and random toasts experiences

Image
Hiiiii! Welcome to Limitless! I hope you are having a lovely weekend!  Catcalling and random toasts! What do guys even gain from catcalling? I mean, can’t you be a gentleman? Must you be razz ? Also, guys that just randomly start wooing  or ‘toasting’ girls along the road. What’s their purpose in this life?😂 Catcalling is that silly thing guys do when ladies are passing and they whistle or start shouting ‘heys fine girl’ ‘look at us now’ ‘we are calling you now’. I’ve had a handful of these and I’m certain other ladies can relate too. I’m sure most guys too know what is going on!   Why do these street guys even do that? I’ve never seen any ‘tush’ guy behave that way to be honest. Okay, maybe in school by the way when guys are in groups and they are catcalling from their hostels. Rascals. I think random toasts are prevalent everywhere but then, how will a guy with  blood-shot eyes just get the morale to approach a prim and proper lady? This life is a pot of beans!😂 6 ladies share thei

5 ways to get over a breakup

Image
 Hello and welcome to Limitless! I hope your weekend is going well.  A couple of weeks ago, I deemed it fit to throw an open question on how to get over a breakup. Thankfully, some people who have been through it revealed how they got over theirs. Thus, I took bits and pieces from that plus what I’ve seen to be able to deliver this to you. I’m telling you this so you won’t think these tips are far fetched or have never happened.  Meanwhile, everyone is wired differently. What works for me might not work for you. We all have diverse ways we react to handle situations. Nevertheless, I’m very sure at least 3 of these tips will be able to help you get over a breakup.  1. Channel your mind towards something else This simply means taking your mind off them and focusing on something else. You might want to ask me how? It could be starting that business you’ve been saying you’d start but you’ve not. It could be spending more time on your hobbies- writing, drawing, knitting and so on. It could

Jilted in a weather for two

Hellooooooo!!! Welcome to Limitless. I’m sooo excited to see you here again! I hope you are having a nice weekend.  Today, I’m gonna be telling you the story of how I got jilted😂. The same heart that had flutters got shattered! Premium tears, guys! Sigh.  In case you don’t know, I’m a hopeless romantic. I love romance movies, romance books, romance stories and all things romance. So, you can imagine how much I would love all what I watch and read become a reality for me.  That’s how on this cool day, I was going through my phone and a message from an unknown number suddenly popped up.  Sweetheart, it’s not all these annoying texts that you get and you block the person instantly😂. Immediately I saw this one ehn I was just like ‘wow, I’ve not even talked to you yet and you are giving me flutters already, okayyy!’ So, we started texting almost everytime. I text or call him any free time I get and he does too. He is not like all these people that just leave you to guess why they are not
