Life with Las B...

 I've always been wondering what's my spiritual belief. Cos I'm not an atheist. Neither am I exactly skeptical about the existence of a higher being to term it agnostic. I just don't like the most content in the bible and the doctrines of Christianity So this non-practicing christian is really apt and puts my spirituality in better perspective.  I think I didn't grieve as much when my mother died because I really believed that I would see her in the afterlife in heaven when I die. So now that I am a non-practicing christian, I grieve more because I'd rather there not be heaven or hell. Make everyone just dissipate to the earth, turn to ash and be manure for plants.  So that makes me miss her absence even more as she didn't stay long with me on earth , cos I was barely 10 when she died 

 I used to say that I really really hate small talk. But the thing about hating it was really lack of knowledge on casual topics to converse in. Like really, small talk is just having a discourse around trends or news. For instance, this tweet is grounds for small talk. There are plethora of topics that would be indulged from it Wealth, class, dating, parenting, network, marriage, standards. Just about anything right The image about apple can also spur discussions on innovation, branding, class, and even human psychology  Small talk as I'm learning is being up to date with current news and trends. And then having the ability to infuse them in conversations. Once you grasp these 2 things, small talk is a breeze for real 

 I applied to dozens of publications. Got 1 positive callback. The one that responded rejected me 2 days after. I cried. I cried oo cos writing is supposed to be my shit. Why was I getting these rejections? I was so stressed. I even fell sick, no jokes 🤢  Then out of the blue, a LinkedIn connection I hadn't chatted with since April reached out to me - "Hey Chinenye. Are you open for a technical writing gig?" Ụmụnne m niime Chineke, I cried oo. Real tears of joy. If I dey go church, I for go do testimony in church cos God literally heard my silent prayers. I'm still shit as fuck at networking as I no dey everly go out. Go to tech events? mba Go to meetup kwanụ? nope Go for interview at an onsite company? asị asị Thank God the ones that know me dey put small bread in my tea, ekene dịrị Chukwu 🙏🙏
