I QUIT MY JOB

 I QUIT MY JOB. 

No, I'm not a quitter. I RESIGNED from my job. I know that probably raises so many questions like, 'who resigns in this economy? Did you have something else to do before you left? Why did you leave? I thought you loved your job.'

I will answer these in due time. But yes, I resigned in this economy. Largely because I was NOT fulfilled or accomplished in my previous workplace, it wasn't financially amazing either, but ultimately it was TIME TO GO. 

Life is in phases. And just like every other areas of our lives, our career/work is something we do that not only gives us money but a sense of purpose. 

The phase that I was; SURVIVAL. 

This phase was characterized by doing what I had to, to get by in the moment and to ensure that my needs were met. This meant that I didn't need to like what I was doing, I just had to do it for the 'benefits'. Rent needed to be paid. Bills needed to be sorted. And God provided that. 

But you know what He also does? When it is time for Him to move you, He makes you dissatisfied with the same thing He blessed you with. Yes. Because you need to MOVE. 

You know that strong feeling inside? That voice that tells you that you are made for so much more? That you NEED to get out there and spread your wings otherwise you'd die miserable if you stick to the safety of 'necessity'? That voice was LOUD. 

I KNEW I was made for more. I knew there was more to me. And I knew I would not discover and explore it while being there. I loved my co-workers. I loved my job for the most part. But I would not allow myself to be stuck here when I KNOW I should move. 

So.. I moved! 

Very quickly the questions came as to whether I had a plan for my next step. The answer is YES. 

My plan is to follow God's plan. To trust God. He has placed so much potential inside of me, and now.. I will take steps in April to explore each. To find my table, and build my fort. 

I have always been a media girl. And I know that my life's purpose is to inspire, redirect and empower people through storytelling. In EVERY FORM. To shine the light on the one who saves who transforms, and who IS. 

JESUS. 

I am HERE. 

And I am READY!

Inconvenient Love

BRING BACK INCONVENIENCE!  There was a time when people would go the mile for family and friends.  When people were open to serving and being present for their family and friends.  But these days, we are plagued with so much selfishness wrapped up in self care and self love, that important friendships and relationships are suffering.  👉🏾You wouldn't attend your friend's birthday hang out or visit them because 'I don't really feel like being around people. People stress me out...i just want some ME TIME'  👉🏾You wouldn't relate with people because, 'their energy..they give me b@d vibes.' Or the worst... 'Our zodiac signs don't usually get along' My goodness!!!  👉🏾You get a message from someone on your phone, you open it to read, you left it unanswered, and you keep on posting on your status. When the person speaks up on how disrespectful it is to ignore them, you go on about 'you are not the one that bought me a phone, I can do whatev...

UNMARRIED... SO?

At every family gathering, I have three responsibilities.  1. Greet the family.  2. Eat jollof rice.  3. Defend my life choices  Like clockwork, it never failed.  I would barely sit down before Aunty Ene snuck up on me like a sore throat and asked the usual question.  'When are we getting aso-ebi '?" With that fake smile of hers..  Argh "Soon, Aunty", I always said. With a fake smile of my own.  Only.. No one knew when 'soon' was, and if I'm being honest with myself, neither do I.  At my age.. I have a stable job, a thriving side gig, rent paid, good friends, and blood pressure that rose everytime I heard 'any good news? ' from my family.  To them.. Good news meant one thing. Marriage.  Not my promotion, or something exciting I did, or the fact that I'm finally ticking my bucket lists without looking at my account balance.  No. It was always marriage.  Uncle Ikechukwu, or Uncle Iyke as I like to call him, walked up to me ...

You are Mentally Exhausted

You are mentally exhausted.  Mental laziness and exhaustion can occur due to trauma, survival mode, and/or 'lack', and can hinder you from learning and growing sustainable skills.  Why?  Because sustainable skills take time to learn, grow and perfect.  And you know what someone in survival mode doesn't have? Time.  You are flying by the seat of your pants.  Probably homeless, and trying to get enough to feed for the week.  Probably do not even own a smartphone to have access to learning these skills.  Probably even depressed from the weight of carrying the burden of their existence on their shoulders.  And do you know what that makes you?  Mentally exhausted.  Because you are used to quick fixes and odd jobs to 'get by', at some point, learning that skill seems like a chore, reading that long article seems unnecessary.  Your nervous system is addicted to fast releases and gratification.  You rely on the little you know, to...
