This is about hair. About 4c hair specifically and if you know anything about this hair texture, it's a whole politics all by itself. So personally, I've never really cared about my hair, natural hair to be specific. I'd like to ascribe that indifference to having my hair barbed when I was still in nursery school. So you could say I've had my hair on low cut much longer than I have a full head of hair.   I always resort to cutting the hair when I feel like the maintenance is too much. As earlier mentioned, I never quite cared for having hair. In any case, that was my modus operandi until I began picking on my hair whenever it grew to a knot-able afro. This constant manipulation usually occurs when I'm stressed, bored or just not busy. I knew I had to change or start making hair again when I woke up after a particularly stressful previous day and the hair on my bed was just a lot. I literally went down to a hair dresser that morning to see if my hair could make corn...

Intellectual. That's what I was called. Until I found tech and now I'm nothing more than a worker-bee. It was supposed to be my gateway to wealth but little did I know I would lose my articulation in the pursuit of the industry. I'll admit it's nobody's fault but mine. When I think of technological tools, it's always about optimization. Are the pages responsive? Are user interactions intuitive enough? But ironically, I did not adapt same principles to myself. In a bid for a career chase, I've become too rigid in my approach, with a single vision focused on development. I should have the liberty to be able to express my thoughts, while still spending 6 hours on vscode meeting a Yearly Wrapped goal. I should...

Now considering how I'd been following Diddy's news from the first day Cassie asked for that money, I'm supposed to be done with this documentary by now. But it's been taking me quite some time to watch it cos I start it, become agitated and pause it godu. I've watched two commentaries on it (Josh Johnson and Jessie Woo) on YouTube so I do know the gist of it.  What I'll say is that this dude is literally a spawn of the devil. Shit, it's an affront cos dare I say the devil is more benevolent than he was. Hell, I'd even prefer a deal with the devil himself than make one with Diddy. Yes, that's how horrible he is. Someone so egotistical you hired a cameraman right after you were sued to record you. And in the same fucking recording you're making plans of propaganda and using all means necessary to threaten people.  See this money thing, it's a drug for real. Cos genuinely, he did believe nothing would be done to him which really was true for de...

People are really just doing things and I'm even more inspired. This guy, Damian Hardung is studying to be a medical doctor. And he is also an actor (starred in Maxton Hall as the lead character). Reminds me of Yari Shahidi that was giving us back to back in Blackish and Grownish series while attending Harvard University. Or Megan thee stallion releasing albums and going on tours but still getting her degree. You really can just do things, especially if you're in an enabling country.  I'm even more motivated to push myself cos you really can do things if you put your mind to it

If you had told me I'd be looking forward to a 10 week workout programme in January 2025, I'd have called you a bloody liar. But here I am. Caroline has turned me into someone I can't recognize (in a good way). I hit my goal weight then finished the 6 week Iron Series ending of October and I was ecstatic. My body was in the best shape it'd ever been. Afterwards, did her 1 week HIIT series (which was bloody cos tell me why had 40 variations of Burpees on the first day). Then followed it up with 2 weeks Beastmode series. After which I had to take a deload week of just yoga and mobility exercises. Unfortunately, at the same time, my diet went to shit because my siblings came back and I was eating junk like there was no tomorrow. Anyways, my weeks of decadence is over so I'm back to my routine with a new series (Epic Heat by Caroline Girvan). This time, it's 10 weeks long. So hoping to be done by my birthday in February. Keeping fingers crossed🤞🏼 

Hmmmm. I do agree learning is uncomfortable cos you're training the brain muscle. But I'd like to see it as working out. If you're a beginner, you don't just straight to lifting heavy cos you may feel discouraged. Best way would be to start with simple workouts like, get to moving your body. Then as you progress, you add on challenges. I dislike the whole "you must suffer before you learn." It's similar to those who claim you only learn by reading books. Yeah, whilst reading, you engage different muscle groups and force the concentration to the written words. But some people just thrive the media format. Same way some would prefer gamified methodologies to imbibe knowledge. The whole elitism about learning is so trite.
