ITOHAN'S LITTLE CORNER ✍️

 ‎"Your post about Charlie Kirk isn't it at all " ‎This was the message someone sent to me after I posted a picture or Charlie Kirk with a simple caption ‎'Your voice will always be heard, RIP 🕊" ‎I opened the message, and what caught my eye first was that this person hasn't texted me since 2023.  ‎No hello, no hi. Just straight to his opinion on MY post.  ‎Mind you, I post on that app EVERYDAY , and I have never seen a comment from this dude, not a message of encouragement, not a comment of support on a content I created or an article I wrote, nothing.  ‎But that wasn't why I felt my skin crawl in anxiety.  ‎I wanted to type that my opinion was my own and he could not tell me what was right or wrong, I wanted to ask him how a simple RIP post earned such a comment from him,  IN MY DM , I wanted so much to explain myself so I could be understood, I wanted so much to defend my stance, my post, my mind.  ‎But I did not.  ‎I simply closed the messag...

 ‎Be Spongebob.  Hi, I'm Spongebob SquarePants 👋 ‎You know Spongebob SquarePants, don't you?  ‎I am not going to assume that you don't know who he is or the show on Nickelodeon. It's a really fun show in my opinion, it goes on and on and Spongebob -- the main character -- is particularly fascinating to me.  ‎Everytime I see an episode and observe him keenly, I can't help but liken his traits to ours.  ‎So what if we could be like Spongebob? 🤔 ‎👉🏾 So what if we are as kind as he is? ‎Spongebob is kind to literally everyone. Until and even when you are mean towards him or others, he is the kindest bottom feeder. He would give the shirt off his back, go the mile to help even strangers. Remember when his cousin Stanley S. SquarePants came around and couldn't hold any job? He took him to EVERYWHERE he knew, encouraging him that he wasn't bad, he just needed to find his thing and he would be good at it. Stanley almost stole his job as a Fry Cook at the Krusty ...

 MY PLAN WAS GARRI My church had a Praise Party last week Friday, and since it is the only kind of party you would ever see me at on a Friday night, I went all out dancing 🕺👯💃.  After over two hours of Praise, Prayers, and walking up and down in heels helping new comers and first-timers, I was physically tired and it was time to head home.  The thought of laying on my bed was bliss😁😁😁 On the way home, I started weighing my dinner options.  Dancing really does take it out of you, doesn't it?  I had some stew at home so I thought I would just boil rice and eat with it, but it was already almost 9pm and that would take about another hour before it was ready..  Plus.. Healthy living? 😅 Too late..  Option B.  🤔 “ Buy Peanuts and drink garri tonight, boil the rice tomorrow .' 💭 It made sense. It was faster. And it was sustainable.  So BAM ! It was decided and I walked to the junction to board a vehicle home.  The shop where I was to g...

 ‎Oh wow .. I have given this some thought, and the truth is, I think in some parts of my life and at different phases, I'll be all or one of these things.  ‎So here are some of the careers I would have pursued if I was not so hung up on communication, media, and using words to transform lives.  1. ‎Travel Documentary Photographer or Vlogger:   Anyone who knows me knows how much I love to take pictures of landscapes and nature. Trees, sky, buildings, even unaware pictures of my friends. I love to capture raw moments as they happen, not when they are posed to look perfect. I would have traveled to states, countries and cities, documenting their history, cultures, landscapes in photos. Telling stories that would outlive me, frame them, immortalize tthem PS : I strongly believe I'll still do this, but as a hobby, not a career. NEXT !  2. ‎Chef or Baker : Oh wow.. I like food. Big surprise. Haha. Of course I would have been a chef.. The simple act of cooking makes m...

 ‎Which desires are truly mine?  ‎I hope I can answer this one.  ‎"Tell me your deepest desires " Sounds familiar? Yeah, it's a line from a Tv Series.  ‎But if you were to answer that, how sure are you that the desires are yours, and not someone else's? ‎How sure are you that the person who wants these things is you, and not someone else whispering it into your ears through the voice of Instagram reels, Pinterest boards, targeted ads, friends, societal expectations, and social media influencers?  ‎You know those things you never thought or knew you wanted until you saw someone else own it or use it or until it was expected of you?  ‎Let me digress a little. Yesterday in church, our pastor preached about consecration. Highlighting 1John 2:16.  ‎[16] For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.  ‎The Lust of The Eyes.  ‎I have struggled with this...

WHAT HAVE I MISTAKEN FOR MY PERSONALITY THAT IS ACTUALLY A FEAR?  Has something ever felt so familiar to you that you start to identify with it? A friend's not-so-good behavior that rubs off on you, an environmentally nfluenced habit that just seemed right for the season but somehow never left, or a coping mechanism that became a brand that became too comfortable?.  For me, the answer is Yes, yes, and yes.  Fear is the mother of numerous coping mechanisms, and when they stay long enough they grow on you like a wart, and you just 'live with it'.  For me.. It's PROCRASTINATION ..   dun dun dunnnn 🎶 I know that we are all siblings in this and as much as we try, it seems like this fella is here to stay. But not on my watch!  Procrastination is a trait I mistake for a personality. A flaw. But a personality. So, a personality flaw, if you may. Something that is a part and parcel of me, something that trickles into everything I do, something that has come to stay...
