Hello cupcakes..

 Happy new year dear readers. Yes, happy new year, because this is my first post of the year, and honestly, I am not proud of this. 

Everyday, I have thought of the perfect topic to start off the year with, but the more I sought perfection, the more my head went blank. My writer's block seemed to have lasted longer than I expected. 

So, I had thought it is better to just wish you a happy new year and ask how the year has been and if you already have your goals mapped out for the year.

This year, I'd love to get better in writing. You know, there's no limit to which one can learn and I'm open and willing to expand my horizons.

You know, people say having a passion for your career helps you succeed in it despite the odds. I strongly believe in this ideology because whenever things get tough and exhausting in your career, your passion for it would keep you in the game, strong.

I really do hope that you're working towards reaching your goals (it's not too early to start)

Set achievable milestones with deadlines. You cannot earn those millions of dollars in one day, constant effort would.

Away from the goals, how has work or school been? A large number of us are resuming school next week, and the workload ahead of us is scary. We've been out of school for close to one year and our tertiary institutions have decided to run two sessions(four semesters) in one year. The mental and physical stress ahead of us(me especially) has left a lot of us with sleepless nights. Not nights when we burn the midnight candle, but one where we sit up lost in thoughts.

Did I mention the assignment we were given before school went on the almost unending break? This is the most ridiculous assignment I've ever come across in my entire life.

It is a field trip assignment where every student in the department and level has to go to their individual villages and gather some information about the village and culture, which we would have to capture on camera(pictures and videos)

The thought of going down to Ebedei in Delta state has left me confused. Well, it's the eleventh month since the assignment was given and I either get it done or risk carrying the course over to the next academic session. The latter isn't even an option.

I would document my experience at the village and blog about it. It feels like it would be an adventurous one.

      Valentine's day is closer that it seems and there would he a lot of tensioning, both online and offline, lol. You know, love is actually a sweet feeling, and receiving gifts from your loved ones makes the butterflies in your stomach giggle(I can't relate)

Amidst the whole Valentine's day tension, you shouldn't feel bad or sad for being single and not being loved intentionally. The feeling of loneliness would slowly creep in, but you mustn't let it linger for too long.

Everyone has their various reasons for staying single, and it's all good. Being single is in no way a bad thing. In fact, no one is under any obligation to be with someone. You can be alone and be doing just fine. You shouldn't feel less than yourself.

       Some persons are stuck in toxic and sad relationships, where they are not appreciated and are made to feel like they aren't enough. You need to hear this, even though it might bring tears to your eyes, you're enough, you are what you think you are, your self worth is not attached to what that unappreciative person thinks. You deserve better. You deserve to be happy, because life itself is too short to be with someone who doesn't appreciate you. If that relationship has stolen your peace, and it makes you soak your pillow with tears every night, if it is the reason you've lost your liveliness, then it is time to leave. This is the sign you've been looking for. Leave and find happiness within yourself. You deserve better. You deserve to glow with genuine happiness.

    I think I'm satisfied with how much I've written now and would love to call it a day. Thank you for reading. Don't forget to subscribe to my blog, and please stay safe.

Bye for now.
