About myself

Talking about what I went through as a child, my childhood was an enjoyable one though at times I used to think and wish I was an adults. Why do I used to wish being an adult? It was those moments where I will be asked to do some house chores that was considered was done by little ones and the elderly ones, will be left with nothing to do. That moment when everyone finish eating and I will be called to wash all the dishes that was used in eating. And while I will be washing, I will be thinking when I will grow up so that the younger one will also wash my plate when I am done eating.
I also wishes to become an adult when my elder siblings will be given two pieces of meat and mine will be just one, the reason being that they are your seniors. I used to hate that and I wished to grow up as fast as possible so as to follow and enjoy those special treatments.

I enjoyed playing with my friends as a child, bathing under the rain water and swimming in the rain water, splashing the water on someone were some of the funs I enjoyed as a child. I can't forget those moments where we use to mimic our mothers, cooking with milk and tomatoes tins and using sand as swallow. I can't forget in a hurry how we used to play with our dolls and giving them some nice names.

As an adult, life has not been that rosy but God has made it easier and enjoyable, though with some forms of stress due to work and house chores.

As a child I had favourite food and colours and as an adult I also have some favourite food and colours too.

When I was a child, my favourite food was rice and stew, beans and akara while my favourite colour was red and gold.

As I grew up to adulthood, a lot of things changed including my favourite colours and food.
As an adult, my favourite food is rice pepper and pounded yam while my favourite colour is pink and blue.

Things that brings my down sometimes

The things that brings me down most of the time is hiding my true feelings about things, knowing too well that if I bring it up, it may result in some forms of crisis. Another thing that brings me down is remembering those lies that was told against me keeps bringing me down each time I remembers them. I hate the habit of lying and I try as much as possible not to lie and when someone lies against me, is one of the worst things that can ever happen to me.

Another thing that brings me down is when I put my best in whatever I am doing and at the end not appreciated ( verbally or otherwise) these are the major things that usually brings me down.

In all these cases, I normally picked up myself when again when I listen to my favourite musics, go out with friends and also play with my kids. Take some drinks and chops and most importantly read my bible.

The things that keeps me going

When I think about success, think about how to make my kids proud for having me as thier mother, that thought of knowing that tomorrow will be better and that there's light at the end of the tunnel if I dont give up, visualising a wonderful future free from life's anxieties, reading and meditation, creative writing, having funs with love ones and most importantly communicating with my heavenly father keeps me going.

Message to friends

Your happiness is in your hand. Do not allowed people who do not love you weighs you down with thier lies and troubles of all kinds. They want your downfall not success. Don't be quick to give up especially in doing what is right. Do not let today's anxieties weighs you down, do something meaningful with your life. Work hard because hardwork pays.
