WEIRD-ISH 3: Monday motivation

We made it!!!! This marks the end of the WEIRD-ISH series. It has been fun all the way and I'm hoping you didn't find my thoughts too weird *winks*. Remember I said LIGHTNING (the first installment in this series) was probably my weirdest write up in this series. Well, I thought so until I saw this that you are about reading. I honestly can't say what was going on in my head when I was writing this. I doubt I had any specific thing in mind, I just wrote and this was born. Anyways, enjoy the read. PS: it's rather short.    Gone are the days of doing things just because of people. People's opinions don't sting any longer, what matters is I'm happy and not going against God's will. I don't need to be motivated to do what I ought to do or do better at certain things. Self motivation is all that's needed, trying to break the previous records I've set. A sense of purpose motivates me, the knowledge/hope of a better future spurs me, not the achi

WEIRD-ISH 2: Happiness

I'm back, with more weirdness. This particular write up was written "just because". So, I wanted to write something with some element of sentimentalism. HAPPINESS was what I thought up. Hoping it would be a pleasurable read. Credit    Happiness is a choice but it can be a hard one to make at times. Times when one is faced with every saddening thing possible, it's hard to choose happiness. Times when one is up against the worst occurrences, it's hard to choose happiness. Times when life throws rocks and hauls boulders one's way, it's hard to choose happiness.                                       Credit Choose to happy irrespective of situations that glare at you with their ugly faces. Choose to be happy though, it's hard in the face of adversity. Choose to be happy cos sadness hardly ever proffers solution. Credit    Choose to be happy, choose to look adversity in the face with a smile playing on your lips and glittery eyes. Refuse de

WEIRD-ISH: Lightning

  Welcome y'all to the first installment of the WEIRD-ISH series. This is probably the weirdest of the posts I've got in store. Enjoy.    THUNDER by IMAGINE DRAGONS left me not only bopping my head but thinking. Sounds weird? Well, my thoughts created a correlation and contrast between LIGHTNING and THUNDER. I definitely prefer lightning. I feel like it sums me up. You only see LIGHTNING but you hear THUNDER (more like a racket). They both start off at the same time (based on science) but LIGHTNING touches down first as it isn't preoccupied with a show of noise unlike THUNDER. Source    Lightning is more “impactful” than it seems. It does kill (struck by lightning?) but certainly doesn't look it. Thunder, on the other hand is pretty much all bark, no bite. Just a racket to make fear set in but in the long run, it doesn't hurt per se. My inference from all of this is; quite a number of times, it's best to be seen than heard. Let your works speak for you (

Happy new month!!!!

   As February is a weird month (number of days), I deem it appropriate to do this now. So, I have a couple of write ups that I just can't seem to place. Tbh, I didn't really plan to write them, like, I didn't give them much thought prior to grabbing my pen. When I was done with my pen however, they ended up making sense. So, right now, I'm like, "why not?" * shrugs shoulders *    I'm a weirdo—not the regular type of person, don't ask what regular is * covers face *—even if I say so myself and these posts have some weird undertone in my eyes. Well, I'd be turning them into a blog series (I did one earlier, here, here and here), that seems like the best and sensible thing to do. The series would be named thus: WEIRD-ISH . I'm hoping you find them fun and interesting to read and hopefully, not too weird.    This is just to usher the series and wish y'all a fab and fulfilling month. The posts would be weekly, commencing next week. Stay tuned
