September Dump🦋

Aim your gaze forward!

Hey You!

How are you doing? Sho wa pa? Any interesting thing to share with me? I will love to hear from you. 😌

The first time we had a title with dump content I wrote exams that month and, coincidentally, this month as well . If you're wondering how my exams went, they went quite well, but I had a silly paper on which I felt like an "olodo" inside the exam hall because of an essay topic, later realized it was a general problem, and days later realized I could have avoided it. This paper still hurts my soul whenever I think about it, and even as I write this, I still feel sad about it because my ‘A’ is shaking (odidi 20marks 😒), but as much as I am hurt about it, there's nothing to do, God go help me run am.

I got a message from a friend last night that served as a reminder for me that I haven’t sent a newsletter out yet this month, and I responded that we still have approximately two days left😂 and I still have time to meet my monthly goals. Since many things, both good and bad have recently been happening with me, I honestly didn't even forget about you guys. Ki olorun shaanu. Even though I had a little more free time than usual this last week of September compared to other weeks, I was still incredibly busy and had events scheduled. I have also found it difficult to follow casual conversations because certain issues irritate me so much right now. I'm not sure if all these new behaviors are a result of getting older, but lately, I detest drama and prioritize my peace above everything else. I don't avoid all problems that need to be addressed just because I detest drama tho. Fear of being misunderstood might cause someone to remain silent forever, which can lead to abuse on the mental, psychological, and emotional levels. One thing I've done more of is speak up for what I believe in, regardless of the repercussions or what others may think. People who have shaped history are those who refused to fit into the same mold as the rest of society. I am too big to be disregarded and too big to be unnoticed. Make sure no one puts you down in your own space, no matter how small your existing space is.

By the way, before I wrap up, I think I still have two things to say to you. The first is that you should grow with your friends. I pretty have a large circle of friends, and I genuinely care about each and every one of them. This might be your sign to tell your friends or “that friend” that you’re really proud of how far they have come.❤ PS; Yooooo!, an interesting thing just happened.😭 I took a pause to rewatch that Salem King’s video on Instagram where he talked about "Your friends being stars" and how you don't know it yet but they'll become that person. I was considering adding the link here, and guess what, I decided to check my dms first, and I opened a message from my girl and it was exactly what you would expect it to be: the same video I wanted to share with you guys! Anyway, I won't say anything more about that other than to encourage you to grow with your friends. I'd like to give you some instances of friends who began at the bottom and have since achieved great success, but I won't name any names since you are smart enough to understand that helping one another out is an important part of growing. LOOK AHEAD!

Finally, this one is for everyone who has recently suffered from anxiety and may be expecting for something wonderful to happen before the end of the year: God remains faithful even when things are difficult. I just want to let you know that God is still involved in your life and that he hasn't abandoned you. Those who know me well know that I have experienced experiences this year that could drive a person insane, but being a believer does not guarantee you a life free of difficulties. Not all situations is avoidable, you have to go through it. No great man of war can be victorious without fighting a battle, remember? The storm you’re passing through today is timebound, you’ll overcome!❤ Hold your God tight and be interested in His business as much as you want Him to be in yours. 🦋💕
