Limitless

Welcome to Limitless! —————— Tears. This is the one thing about living alone. When you have money, you enjoy and chop life alone. When there is no money, you suffer alone. Omo. This life is one kind. How can a whole me Omotanwa Olowe be eating 50 naira fufu and soup with no meat. Eii God abeg .  Alawee has finished like this. If not for this my nonsense ‘I better pass my neighbor gen’ that keeps having fault, it wouldn’t have finished so fast. I’ve spent 10k on it just this month. Maybe it’s even that Tunde boy that is spoiling the gen further. The gen never ceases to give me problems. Why is the power supply in this place so terrible?  I paid electricity bill 14,500 naira. When it’s not as if it’s only me that is using light in Nigeria .  Maybe I should get a meter because I’m very sure I don’t use up to 15k worth of power. These thieves. Mtchw .  I’ve spent 5k on transport. Owo ti ku waso (money is remaining 50 naira). 3,500 naira actually. Wait how come it was j...

Hi! Welcome to Limitless!  Today, I will be showing you what went down last weekend😂. My version of ‘we outside’😁😂. I had loads of fun.  So, I went to a cottage owned by my sister-in-law’s mom, in Gananoque. She was very warm and receptive. The place was so beautiful and peaceful. You should know now that I don’t like noise. I like soft life lol😂. The cottage overlooks a river which just made the scenery perfect. I felt like a movie character who wakes up opens the curtain, looks outside and sighs while closing her eyes😂.  First off, I want to show you guys some sculptures I saw at my SIL mom’s house.😂 This was the first thing I saw when I entered the house. My heart first did gbish gbish😂. What do you think I said immediately I saw it?” Blood of Jesus, of course. Egungun, be careful😂😂.  Then I saw these… They are nice sculptures actually. Some black heritage things going on. I liked the Bantu knots sculpture the most.  Moving on, I saw this!  This...

Hi guysss!! It’s been a long time! How have you been? (I usually don’t get any answer to this question😂). I hope you’ve been keeping well. I apologize for disappearing on you. Here’s my bribe for the long disappearance.  ———————— ‘Jeez. Why on earth do I feel so sad watching this movie? I have a very bad feeling this guy is gonna die. No freaking way, why would he go there? Oh no. I’m so not watching this movie’, I closed my iPad, picked up my phone and dialed my best friend’s number.  “Olureni Peters! Didn’t I tell you not to recommend tragedy or melodramas to me anymore? Girl, life is sad enough already, why would I want to watch something that would make me cry?”  She huffed and laughed, “Miss Omotanwa Olowe, always so dramatic aren’t we? Now, that movie wasn’t as bad as you make it seem.” “No really. Isn’t the point of watching movies to escape reality? I mean my life right now could make do with some escape anyway.”  “Tanwa. We can’t really escape from reality....

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 ...
