Welcome to Limitless!  Oh my goodness gracious! It’s been ages! I’m cryinggg. I missed this place so much and I missed you guys too. Sigh. While away, I was thinking, and I figured it wasn’t just me that was busy. You guys were busy too. Exams, tests, assignments, projects, work. I can relate.  But, guess what? Limitless is for chilling and unwinding!! So, after your busy week, you can always balance with your popcorn and read through this blog! Isn’t that nice?🤗  I sincerely apologize for being away for so long. 2 long weeks! Feels like 2years, trust me. Lol!  Hmm. These past few weeks have been hectic, but so totally worth it. My brain, eyes and body have never worked like they did (back to back lol). It was so hard for me to squeeze time for Limitless because the schedule was so tight. I’m finally resting somehow now, so, I’m backkk with a bang😂. Did I hear a round of applause? Okay okay. Thanks thanks.  That’s why I will be giving you guys the full gist today to make up for the a

Weird Habits/Obsession

Image
Welcome to Limitless!  Sometimes, we do some things without knowing we do them till we come to the knowledge that we are doing them. Some people even have weird obsessions.  10 people reveal their weird habits and obsession.  I would be revealing just the first letters of their names so that  I won’t cast them. Lol! Let’s dive in! —————————— 1. Mr. F “Whenever I go to a new place, new house or new room, the first thing that will come to my mind is to look for an emergency exit or an escape plan 😂, so that incase there’s an emergency or any bad situation, I can find solution for myself.  I don’t know if it’s weird, but that’s it.” 2. Miss T. “I have a friend who is very organized. She knows exactly how she arranges her stuff in her locker. When we noticed, we purposely shifted something in it without her looking. She noticed!” 3. Mr. V “I tap my thumb and middle finger together whenever I'm in the midst of people I don't know, especially when I’m walking past a group of people.

How to handle rejection

Image
Welcome to Limitless!  ———————— We have to understand that people are free to either accept or reject our advances. I mean, it’s their choice and they should be free to choose whomever they want because they know what’s best for them. Let’s respect that. And YES, people are free to stop talking to us when we reject them. THAT’S MY OPINION. It would only look funny to you if you’ve never been rejected or you don’t know what it feels like to be rejected. I used to think it was ridiculous too, but if that’s their coping mechanism, then, who am I to alter that process?  NOTE that I said we have the freedom to stop talking to people when they reject us. Not hating, not spreading rumors, not insulting or manipulating. This thing goes both ways. Let’s name the rejecter, Bola and name the rejected, Jide.  Jide has to respect Bola’s choice to refuse his advances. She is free to choose whomever she thinks should be in her life. At the same time, Bola has to respect Jide’s decision to heal from t

Welcome to Limitless ————— “Maami, I’m serious. I saw someone like daddy pass through the shop”, I said.  My mum turned abruptly, “ehn? You this girl. It’s only you that is always seeing. Better continue cleaning that place for me. Daddy ko, mummy ni.” I shook my head and turned back to the shelves I was cleaning. I fell into my chair like a log of wood when I was done. Cleaning my mum’s shop is not for the faint-hearted.  ‘Gbassss’.  This   door is closing for the third time for cry not loud. It should just stay in one place and stop annoying me. Mtchw . What kind of breeze is this? I opened it again and sat back in my chair. I laid my head on the table in front of me, letting my droopy eyes lead me to the beautiful land of sleep. I felt someone someone shake me awake. “My baby, wake up”, said the most loving voice. I jolted awake as soon as I heard. I smiled and screamed with delight, but no sound came out. I could feel my heart bursting with joy. He smiled too with a well of tears i

My top 8 romantic movies

Image
Welcome to Limitless! Here goes my all time top 8 romantic movies and I highly recommend that you watch them if you haven’t!  ———————— 8. The Proposal  Picture from IMDb  This movie is a romantic comedy about a female boss who was faced with deportation from America back to Canada. So, she convinced her assistant to marry her. She followed him to his hometown and that was where the drama began!  This movie is not just hilarious, it taught me a lot of lessons.  7. Forever My Girl Picture from IMDb ‘Forever my girl’ is romantic! Like ro-man-tic!😂 The main male character is now a country singer again. Omo times 1 million. This guy left the lady at the altar eight years ago, then he came back to town and that was where the drama started. I love every bit of this movie. From the drama to the captivating voices to the strong female character to the so cute daughter that could sing too. Home finally home🎶.  6. Couples Night  Picture from Themaindb Who doesn’t love a good black American movi

The Pressure to Succeed

Welcome to Limitless! It’s a great pleasure to have you here. ———————————— “So, what are you now doing?” they ask. “I’m resting”, I answer. They laugh unbelievably and I ask why? I shouldn’t rest after spending 4 years in the university? Is it easy to burn midnight candles during the four years hoping, ‘when I graduate, I will rest small’, only for you to get out and people start pressuring you.  The exact day I graduated, someone already asked me, “Congratulations Rolake. So, what next?”  Ahnahnn. Shebi you will allow me to land first . Na wa o.   The funniest thing is, not everyone pressures outrightly.  For instance, not everyone will ask if you have started working. Some people pressure in a very subtle manner. E.g. ‘Oh, you’re still at home. So, what are you doing now?”. It can be very annoying, but what can man do. Some people don’t even mean any harm but because someone has asked you before and you feel rushed, that’s why it’s irritating to you.  Pressure has to do with time and

Welcome to Limitless! I feel like it’s been a decade since I talked to you. What have you been up to? Have you been well? I have been though. My birthday was last Sunday, and thanks to all you Limitless fam who wished me a happy one! I really appreciate it.   The story you are about to read is fiction. Enjoy!  ____________________ In the twinkle of an eye, he smacked me across the cheek so hard, that my head whipped to the left and the plate in my hands crashed on the floor. “Ahhhhh”, I held my cheek to reduce the burning sensation and shook my index finger gently in my now hot ear to clear the ringing sound.  “Tundeeee! You slapped me all because I asked you to help me out in the kitchen. I told you to let us get a house help to assist me, you said no. I go to work everyday like you, do you want to kill me? Am I your slave?”, I asked on the brink of tears. “Shut up! You are too lazy. A woman should be able to multitask. What’s there in plates that you cannot wash, or food that you can

Tingles (4)

Welcome to Limitless!  —————————— I tried suppressing my smile but I ended up bursting into laughter too. This is one of the things I hate to admit that I miss. His contagious laughter. With pursed lips, I gave him a pointed look, before I got too carried away with his spell.    “Wale! What’s funny. Did I see wrong?” I asked. I watched as he dusted an imaginary speck from his trousers and looked at me with a smile. “Maybe you did. Do you remember Shally? Shalewa Johnson, my closest cousin that I used to talk about? Yes, exactly. That was her. She’s married now, and her daughter is the sweetest little creature I’ve ever met.” His eyes crinkled with a smile. “She wanted her favorite uncle to get her ice-cream but, her mum wanted to get something in town too. So, she tagged along.” “Ohhh” Realization dawned on me that I was in no place to ask him such a question. What if he was married for real? Well, he asked me out anyway. “I thought she was your baby mama or something”  “I knew it” He

Tingles (3)

Welcome to Limitless. This is the third part of Tingles! Enjoy!❤️  ___________ “You want us to talk? The last time I checked, you were the one who wasn’t willing to listen to me”, I said. “Yes, I know. Look”, he said with remorse, “I was young and foolish. I wasn’t willing to look at things with a long term view. I admit that I was the one who did wrong and I’m deeply sorry. Can we meet so we can talk better?” “No way!” I shouted, “I already told you if you are here to turn my life upside down, I’m not in for it. I don’t want to have anything to do with you again” “I swear, it’s just this once Dide. I just want to see you and talk to you. Pleaseee. Okay. Just one hour. I won’t take your time, I promise”, he said.  “Erhmm. Okay”, I heard a loud sigh from the other side of the phone. “But, it’s just this once. Nothing more than that one hour. Where are we meeting?”  I found myself giving in again. I hated that this guy could still cajole me. How weak. “We could meet at the park, our usua
