Life with Las B...

  DAY 30. HIGHS AND LOWS FOR THIS MONTH HIGH 1. Reminding myself that procrastination is a bitch and getting into that creative high. It worked for a while in my favour though 2. Getting the idea for my podcast and starting it ASAP 3. Making a full blown strategy (with my new found partner) for the project I have when school resumes 4. Optimising my LinkedIn profile and connecting with high networking individuals there 5. Getting a much needed clarity on my life hereon LOW 1. Definitely monthly visitor 2. Losing out on a publication that I sent in since May or there about. These people waited 3 months to tell me it isn't included in their publication. In their defence, they get many submissions from even published authors et.al. 3. Finally pitching in to that first filmmaker that reached out to me, and he read and ignored my message. E pain me, I no go lie 4. My falling ill in the middle of the month, I was in that period at my creative best and this shit hit me, so I had to back u

Day 29. GOALS FOR THE NEXT 30 DAYS Well, if school doesn't resume, then it is more or less brushing up my writing skills, innit? Looking for online magazines to submit as either a guest author or columnist - just intentionally improving my craft. Then, making sure I don't burn down data too much. Afterall, I am not a business woman that I need to be online a lot. Try and finish my screenplays (lol) More podcasts yo! Connect with more people on LinkedIn (better people of influence) Be serious with my copywriting, digital marketing et.al et.al🤣🤣

Day 28. FIVE THINGS THAT MAKE ME LAUGH OUT LOUD 1. I do have conversations with myself. Sometimes it amuses me. 2. Trevor Noah's comedy - I don't joke with him 3. Josh2Funny's ridiculous jokes 4. Sometimes, I read someone's stance and I find it so stupid that I expected better from a person that I can only start laughing. 5. Brodda Shaggy - I never thought I'd find him amusing but his jokes coupled with the accent he uses is hilarious AF.

Day 27. THINGS KICKING ASS RAINOW My podcast. I would have included my scripts but my mojo dwindled after my illness. It's like all my creative high - poof, just like that

Day 26: AREA YOU'D LIKE TO IMPROVE Definitely taking risks. Getting out of my comfort zone. I am so stuck there and deep in on not living and I mean physical efforts put into making my future. I just dey around dey look. But I think I'm becoming better now, innit?

Nna, the only thing I could think of is food. I really didn't have the strength to start browsing big something and from the food I saw in the 11th image, let's say it's not exactly the kind I want to eat.

Day 24. A LESSON I LEARNT THE HARD WAY If it wasn't my missing a screenwriting opportunity literally at my fingertips cos of procrastination - Chineke ekwekwana ka ọ mee ọzọ

Day 23. A LETTER TO SOMEONE, ANYONE Dear Mom, Really. I have never thought I'd write this. This year made it a decade that you died - it always amazes me how time flew to get to this point. At your anniversary this year, I had planned to wax poetics on all that has been going on, but that day - we were made to submit an assignment (turned out to be a false alarm) and so, I didn't even remember that day was your death anniversary until like a week later. My siblings didn't even say anything in our group chat. Well, it's not as if we've ever reminisced on it. I guess everyone figures it's better not to remind ourselves. These days, I ponder on how different life would have been if you were here but most importantly, there are like a gazillion questions I want ask you, especially now with my crazy views and opinions - on the society and how your youth was. Would you have been shocked with the way I reason now? Or would I have been a promising evangelist

Day 22. PUT YOUR SONG ON SHUFFLE AND WRITE THE 10 SONGS 1. Rachel Platten - Fight Song 2. Asa - No one knows 3. Little Big Town - Better Man 4. Phyno - Agu 5. Beyoncé - Spirit 6. Cardi B - Bodak Yellow 7. Sia - I'm still Here 8. Rema - Boulevard 9. Enya - Fairytale 10. Celine Dion - It's All Coming Back to Me

Day 21. WHAT 3 LESSONS DO I WANT MY CHILDREN TO LEARN FROM ME I like this and this one pass 3 oo. Best believe I want them to learn plenty things especially my daughter 1. That I am a bad-ass crazy ass woman who doesn't take nothing disrespectful and demeaning from nobody 2. That I looked at Partriachy and Society in the face and told them, "Fuck you bastards. You won't get this girl." They should give zero fuckery to this society and i mean it, zero fucks! 3. That I walk the talk. I say it and I do it . 4. That I am not pretentious. If I don't like this person or something, I am cutting it off or at least, I don't pretend we're good. We ain't, hunny. 5. That I am complete, all by myself. They should be too. They don't need people to make them whole. 6. That I live above pressure. I am that headstrong, not easily swayed. Bad trait? but it serves me good enough where I would have erred. 7. That I lived, periodttttttt

Day 20. THREE CELEBRITY CRUSHES I'll just write about my first ever 3 male celebrity crushes 1. Leonardo Di Caprio. I watched Titanic when I was either 5 or 6 years old. I know this because we relocated to our new place when I was 6, and my dad came back with the film when I was 5 and I definitely saw the movie for the first time in our old house. I remember knowing that the actor was too fine, chai. Especially that scene at the staircase, beautiful beautiful movie and actor. 2. Zac Efron - High school musical. Was there any song he sang in that movie that I didn't recreate in my head singing it with him? He made me wish to go to American high school in real life. My brother even used the movie to teach us lessons. Zac is definitely my second crush. 3. Jericho Rosales - The Promise, love is Timeless, Destined Hearts, et.al. Aah, my sister and I were the bandwagon shipping him and Kristine Hermosa, downloaded all sorts of videos of him and Kristine. They had a love t

Day 19. DISCUSS MY FIRST LOVE Hmmm. This one loud. So this person, great human being if I am being honest. We reconnect frequently still - once a first love, always a first love. Brillant, lit, accent on point, tall, foinne, intelligent, can hold greatttt conversations, just everything you'd want in a person apart from money. No money yet but working towards it. We had our trials, moments of doubts and fears about making this thing work. I really enjoyed every time we spend together and it's the best thing I could have asked for. That relationship hasn't ended - we are really tryna make it work. Like, how can it kwan? When it's that wonderful and changed my life soo good that it has never remained the same? One of the Best things that's happened to me is being my own first love! Wait, you were expecting man? Ọkwaala gị oo… 

Day 18. 30 FACTS ABOUT MYSELF I am a bore so I doubt it'd reach 30. 1. I used to be a last born, not anymore. 2. I hate being told what to do, commanding especially. I'll go from 0 to 100 in coming at you. 3. I am my own company, I do enjoy being alone . 4. I hate travelling where I don't know(which is manyyyy places) 5. I detest cooking 6. For all the books I've read my whole life, I haven't bought up to 5 myself. It's always free download online, always. 7. I abhor Nigeria organised religion (if it isn't obvious already) 8. For the longest of times, I really wanted to have a British accent 9. My writings, I don't think they are as descriptive as I would have liked 10. If I am new to a place or a gathering, I will probably never strike a conversation till the end. 11. My social life is my phone. I will most likely never attend your party especially night party. I will have a migraine later 12. I have never tasted alcohol, never even been t

Day 17. POST ZODIAC SIGN Aquarius. Strengths: Progressive, original, independent, humanitarian Weaknesses: Runs from emotional expression, temperamental, uncompromising, aloof Aquarius likes: Fun with friends, helping others, fighting for causes, intellectual conversation, a good listener Aquarius dislikes: Limitations, broken promises, being lonely, dull or boring situations, people who disagree with them Right from secondary school, I have always associated myself with my Zodiac. I honestly do think that to a high extent, it's applicable to me. There was a period I had gone through the phase of studying zodiacs like mad, and even though I can't vouch the authenticity, to a large extent, Aquarius characters rhymes with mine. Reason I was ecstatic when that new sign came out and I still fell under Aquarius.

Day 16. SOMETHING THAT I MISS I miss childhood, when I haven't had responsibilities as an adult. When I thought the world was straightforward and without any deep knowledge of anything.

Day 15. BULLET POINT YOUR WHOLE DAY - Washed car - Did my morning chores - Ate breakfast - listened to a couple of people's podcast to really understand how it works - Checked Twitter trends - Did my own podcast - Downloaded beautiful boy - Browsed online magazines accepting publications - Listened to Mirabelle Morah podcast - Watched AprokoDoctor on YouTube - Watched beautiful boy - didn't finish it - Surfing the net - That's what I'll do for the rest of the day

Dabbling into History like the Historian that I am. We'll be having a couple of history lessons as scenes, innit? During the Atlantic slave trade period, people were not only captured by the whites right. Some communities/individuals betrayed their clans in exchange for commodities as trifle as mirrors, gin, silk. No be today our people started to take bribes. And so, they really did use the heads of our ancestors to play jokes. This right here is one of those scenes where villages are intruded to capture slaves, at times killing each other. Like we still do these days - fighting against each other as opposed the system relegating us. Oh well, enjoy!

Day 14. FAVOURITE MOVIES I CAN REWATCH 1. Reality High (I have watched this uncountable times) 2. The Men's Club (because why not) 3. Mothers and Daughters (I don't know why I keep going back to this movie) 4. Blackish 5. Free Dance/High Strung (I always see myself as a ballerina whenever I'm watching both movies)

Day 13. WHAT AM I EXCITED ABOUT? I am excited about how my projects will turn out. I have an article published already, a presentation done, another article in for review, a little fiction I wrote is going to be published next month on Kahalari Review, an African online magazine. And I am now serious about my screenplay. I have an outline of about 4 short-stories. I am relishing my humble beginnings, more so cos I am documenting each one. I can't wait to see what it will culminate to in the future.

Day 12. FIVE BLESSINGS IN MY LIFE 1. My siblings 2. My mind 3. My pals 4. My mentors 5. My siblings

Day 11. WHAT IF… What if... I was born rich? I would have probably been in Yale or Princeton University, rounding up my first degree and having attended multiple workshops, fellowships and conferences globally - taking vacations, road trips and adventures to areas all around the world and documenting them. I would have been a force to reckon, those people you look and you know they are young but are influencing the world so much. That's the only difference i think I would have had if I was born rich.

Day 10. WRITE ABOUT SOMETHING OF WHICH I FEEL STRONGLY  This might be a tad narcissistic, but I feel strongly about myself. I know what I am, I have come to that Stage where I am so much aware of myself as a person, so much so that nobody can tell me otherwise unless I give the permission. I always say that I am fully made on my psyche and intellect (life intellect), that the only thing I need now is being fully made Career wise. Honestly! I feel so strongly about myself as a person. That is my greatest achievement for now.

Day 9. POST SOME WORDS OF WISDOM THAT SPEAKS TO YOU  Moechivous on Twitter, "No one ever embarks on a project 100% confident. So you'd better get used to taking on that project feeling very scared and afraid."  Then, "If your dreams do not scare you, then it's not big enough."

Day 8. SHARE SOMETHING YOU STRUGGLE WITH Uhmm...  For all of my clarity, I have bouts of Imposter Syndrome. When people compliment my writing or it gets accepted, I'm like, 'well…. it's not exactly "it". That it's not yet banggggggg." I think it has to do with the fact that I think my vocabulary is limited. Yeah, I know, I have my way with words but I want to know more words. I really like big Vocabulary to be honest and I want to know lotssss of them. Even whilst I whip up screenplays excerpts, I have doubts of posting it online. I just feel weird anytime I want to post it and more so, if I want to tag a celebrity to my post. Makes me slightly uncomfortable cos I feel it isn't enough to tag anyone - it has to be spectacular to tag someone. But I persist anyways, imposter syndrome is as normal as anything so "to hell with it"

DAY 4. WRITE ABOUT SOMEONE WHO INSPIRES ME Of course it's Kennedy Ekezie.  What he has done and is doing humbles me everyday 

Day 3. TOP 3 PET PEEVES 1. Very short nails (quite ironic cos I bite my nails but mine isn't disgusting) Some people's own look as though it's bitten by rat... 2. Sucking tongue (ịmị ire) - God knows I hold myself from lashing at the kids I have here with me. It irritates me 3. Disorganisation of a space, especially one I left arranged. Some might say I have OCD, but not exactly. I just like things organised and left exactly how I kept it.

Day 2. SOMETHING SOMEONE TOLD ME ABOUT ME THAT I NEVER FORGOT *My brother* - Just before he left home for good, he called my sister and I and said, I'm leaving you people but know ye this, *everything you're supposed to learn about life, I have been teaching you long time ago.* You might be 16 years now but your mental age is 25 years old. You are much older and mature and it will aid you exceedingly in navigating life. *Dr. Obi-Ani* - I was 19 and in that phase where I was chuking head in everything. I wrote proposal for Lion FM, was just looking for things to do where to be and she told me. "Calm down. You see all these struggle you're trying to be a part of and be involved in? Don't worry, you will be getting so many offers in life that you'd be running and rejecting them. Take your pace, steady but focused" *My Second Year Roommates* - We were brainstorming in our room and predicting careers best suited for everyone. My turn, they said, &qu

Day 1. TEN THINGS THAT MAKE ME REALLY HAPPY 1. Life - that I am healthy. I know how horrible illness is, being healthy makes me happy. 2. That I got my shit together, that I have clarity at this young age is a blessing.  3. Money - I don't have it yet but it sure will make me happy 4. My siblings - I wouldn't be here without them, bless!  5. Music - Life would have been tasteless without music 6. Books - Being able to travel to the deepest of places, live, explore, imagine and dream is magical.  7. Writing - that I can string words to convey what I think as soon as I begin typing or writing. Although I'm not as descriptive as I want , I am learning to be better.  8. My girlfriends - I have your back to the moon and back. I gaht you same way you always gaht me. 9. My Journal - I am on my 11th diary now. I know it should fall under writing but it's different. This is introspection, one I would look back in years to come and marvel at my reasoning. 10. Technolo
