Limitless

Welcome to Limitless! ————————— To be honest, I didn’t know about the term ‘writer’s block’ before I started writing, but sure, the thought of ‘what if I run out of ideas, what if I don’t know what to write anymore’ came. However, I never fully processed or thought it out. I didn’t know it was really a big deal for some people.  Some people have prolonged writer’s block for as long as ten years or more but it could also be as short as just an hour. So, writer’s block is when someone who writes is stuck with content, unable to think or come up with ideas.  I think writer’s block can be a metaphor for us being stuck generally. There must have been some points when you have been stuck with your projects, assignments, ideas, contracts. Things like this happen and it’s totally okay.  The first thing I do when I’m stuck with writing or any assignment generally is that I don’t dwell on it too much. Don’t get me wrong. It’s not like I don’t brainstorm, I do. I just don’t brood o...

Welcome to Limitless!  I promise, Limitless isn’t turning into a bi-weekly blog or should it? That’s an attractive proposition. I’m kidding. Haha😂. I apologize for not showing up last week.  In case you are new to Limitless, we talk about real life experiences, fiction, and relationship here. So far so good I must say. I’ve had a wonderful Limitless family. Thanks to you!  —————— Motherhood . I don’t know if it’s just me but believe me, my thoughts have been straying to motherhood and it’s frigging scary. Not just my thoughts but movie recommendations, posts, and some experiences have been making me think about it. That’s weird abeg😂.  I see how my sister-in-law takes care of my niece and it’s like a superpower, believe me. To be honest, I don’t think I can remain calm with whining or tantrums. I see myself shouting “shut up and stop making noise”😂.  I have a big sister who has a very troublesome and playful kid. He is so energetic and I struggle to keep up w...

Welcome to Limitless!  Last week, I promised to tell you all about landing and quarantine. To be honest, it feels so weird letting everyone asides family in on this whole journey. I mean, I wanted to keep it all to myself, but I just thought I should share the whole experience. All for my Limitless family!😉🥂 So, let’s dive in.  We landed and I was in a very good mood because I had just watched that really interesting movie (I still can’t remember the name) plus it was a smooth trip.  Immediately I came out of the gate, there was a border officer there asking everyone to show their passports. This guy didn't even stop anyone before me. He was just checking passports and if you are a young person, he would ask, “are you a student and is this your first time coming?” I think it was not the first time for the other people, because it’s only Rolake they stopped o.🙆‍♀️😂 So, this guy asked if I was a student and if it was my first time coming, I said yes. He asked for my ins...

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 to...

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 ...

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 ...

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 to...

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...

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...
