Limitless

Image from stormseeker on Unsplash  Welcome to Limitless! ~ I doff my hat to we “up and coming” adults. Camera-ready smiles aside; personally, these past months have been so tough on me emotionally. I can’t even count the number of breakdowns and random bathroom tears I’ve had.  I was standing at a bus-stop one sunny day, and I saw a young lady walking by, literally about to burst into tears. It disappeared at the speed of lightning when she noticed I was staring.  I low-key wished I could give her a big hug regardless of the fact that her expression mirrored exactly how I was feeling, and I didn’t even have my own self together.   It hurt me a lot to know that so many young adults might be bottling their emotions with a happy “I’m okay” facade. Maybe I was a bit lucky that I had some friends who I could blatantly tell that I wasn’t fine when they asked how I was. I remember telling one of my friends to ask me again in September 🤣 . How bizarre?  This adulthood really comes with so m

Be different  I know this already sounds like a motivational speech😂 but hear me out. People who shoot shots in ‘dms’ are the number one culprits at the other end of this point, if you know what I mean.  To be honest there is a 95% chance that she won’t reply you if you just leave a hello or hi in her dm.  I mean, you could say hello if you guys have met before or you’ve heard about each other from a mutual. You could also text that if your profile is a robust one. (Ghost users always do the most🌚). Just hello or hi can just never sit right with me, because ‘hi what?’🤔 Instead of these attempts, if you are trying to shoot your shot online, you can start by introducing yourself and say you would like to know more about them.  Or even better, dro

A very fatal thunderstorm hit Ontario on Saturday, 21st May. Trees, electric poles and wires completely collapsed.  It’s still a very sad event because lives were lost, while some sustained injuries. I’m really praying for their speedy recovery.  Meanwhile, there has been power outage in some parts of Ottawa since Saturday. In fact, my house just got power back this morning. Over 150,000 people still don’t have power. Imagine the amount of refrigerated and frozen food that would go to waste.  Also, power fuels almost everything, including cookers and microwaves. So, some people haven’t had homemade warm meals since Saturday.  Let me tell you my side of the story.  I was in a course mate’s house when I got this emergency alert.👇. We had just arrived from ‘outside’.  I immediately told her I was leaving. She told me she would call an Uber for me. I was still telling her ‘no, I can walk, my house is just 10 minutes from here”. Anyway, I eventually agreed to the Uber (Thank God I did). On

Image from Possessed Photography on Unsplash This is a masterclass people!😂😂 Okay, maybe a prelude to the masterclass.  Welcome back to Limitless! This is the first part of the 'How to Shoot your Shot' series. Today, 5 ladies share the best and worst shots they've ever gotten from a guy.  Shooting a shot means wooing (toasting) someone. It can also be described as a romantic advance. So, we are shaking some tables today.  ————— Lady S.   The worst one so far was from one guy at church. My sister says it's a shot, but to me, I'm just like 'nah', there was no effort at all.  So, we were having a church unit meeting after service. I was seated at the back, so he came to sit next to me. After a while, this guy was like " Erhmm S.." I turned to look at him. In my mind, I'm wondering maybe he wants to say or ask something because he came late for the meeting.  Then, he is like, "I like you". At that point, I was confused because I did n

Hi guys!! What’s up?! How’s your week going? Welcome to Limitless!  Sooo, have you ever received bad news?- The menacing feeling of a splash of cold water coupled with disbelief- ‘No, it can’t be, maybe you should check again, how did this happen?’ I mean, I’ve received my share of rejection emails (story for another day) which can be classified as bad news but nothing prepared me for this. Okay. Maybe I’m exaggerating a little🤣. What am I talking about? Let me fill you in. Today, I will be narrating everything that went down at my first ever dental visit.  Some weeks ago, I decided to visit the dental clinic for a checkup and cleaning. It was long overdue anyway because I already paid dental insurance fees along with my tuition.  So, I got there. They told me to remove my shoes (because of snow residues) and wear a pair of disposable leg bonnets🤣.  Then, I waited at the reception, submitted my info, and the time came for me to go in. I took a seat and the journey began. First I was

What I really want to dwell on today is “searching our hearts”. This is what God has been teaching me this season and I just thought to share it with you.  It is so easy to pray amiss if you are not sensitive. Praying amiss could mean a lot of things, but it also means praying when you know your heart is not right with God.  For instance, I can’t be asking for POWER if I know there is someone I’m keeping in my heart that I need to let go.  I know our personalities are different. For example, it is difficult for me to warm up to people at first. I can be polite with you, or get into ‘work mode’, but once I don’t like your countenance or my spirit doesn’t flow with you, I close my heart.  It might eve

Photo from Unsplash  Welcome to Limitless!  Today, we are talking about GHOSTING- the ultimate bad behavior! I talked a bit on this in the ‘ Spotting Red Flags ’ post.    The first question we should really ask is why do people ghost? Well, from what I’ve seen and heard, people ghost for a number of reasons.  But, HOLD UP, what exactly does “ghosting” mean?  Ghosting, in the context of this blogpost, is a situation where someone disappears, from a relationship or talking stage, with no explanation.  So, imagine you’ve been talking to someone and you start to think, ‘I think this person is a good match, we could work’. All of a sudden, the person disappears for a month without any form of explanation. Some even block you but lie that they just went offline. Oops, did I reveal a secret?👀🤣 Okay, now that you get the gist. Let’s get back to why people ghost.  1. They have a communication problem This set of people are one of a kind. Instead of talking about what is wrong, they think it’s

Photo from Unsplash Welcome to Limitless!  Hmmmm. THE PAST!   Do you know that not everyone has had bad relationship experiences in the past? Quarrels, misunderstanding or red issues didn’t bring their relationships to an end.  Is this general knowledge?  Some have had good relationships that ended due to the fact that they could not be with the person because of a circumstance beyond them.  For this reason, it sometimes gets difficult to let go, and I truly understand. You had this ‘almost’ perfect relationship, she was everything you ever wanted in a woman. Then, all of a sudden, an issue came up, and you had to separate. If you’ve been through this, you probably understand more right? You haven’t gotten over her completely, but you say to yourself, “well, life goes on, let me give relationship another try”. Then, you start talking to another girl. You guys click and you like her vibe. So, you guys decide to meet for the first time.  While on the date, she makes a mistake and without

So, the way I would read a novel is different from the way I would read a school book to understand and pass my exam, and that’s different from reading for research too. Do you get me? So, here, I’m talking about academia. How can you read to produce result?  1. Know your ambience and utilize it!  This is the very first step you must understand to be able to read effectively.  Some people read with music. I don’t know how you guys do it, but kudos! I know I can never pay attention if I try it. I will just start singing and dancing😂.  But that’s me right? Some people have actually figured it out and they’ve seen that it helps stimulate their thought process and ease their flow.  The best place for me to read is the library. You might want to ask me why. I just like the complete silence which helps me “hear” what I’m reading and understand better. And yes, I know some people will def

Welcome to Limitless!  Valentine’s Day, the perfect opportunity to reaffirm your love for your partner through your words, gifts and gestures.  Do you have a Val yet? Do people even still choose Vals or has it become an unspoken tradition? If you are in a relationship, it automatically means your partner is your Val right? Are you looking forward to Val’s day?  For my singles who are single SINGLE, you know what I mean? I have something special coming for you, so don’t let anyone pressure you or make you feel bad about being single in this Valentine’s season!  For my singles who have “crushes” i.e. you like someone, and you guys have been talking. I want to probe the minds of some of you. You shouldn’t just be secretly hoping that the other person gets you something while you aren’t planning to buy anything for them. You get the drift?  Anyway, I’m here to tell you that this Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to shoot your shot in the form of a gift or a gesture.  For my lovers, the o
