On Happiness

When I think of happiness, it's not something I actively pursue. I don't think I have to reach for something to be happier than I currently am (except on my shit days). That self-awareness that external things don't have to make me happy is an attribute I'm incredibly grateful for.

Like the way I'm disturbing my sisters when I had gone for a staycation and they literally be like - "Chinenye, ike gị gwụrụ mmadụ," "Nwa nkea, arụ adịrọ kwanụ gị." Same way I was disturbing my Briii sister in 2019 which was my brokest year.

So even when I eventually scale what I imagine I'd like to achieve, I don't envision them making me happier. I think of them as leaving a little bit of legacy. And of course, making more money for emergency and convenience.

I honestly do think we should start seeing making money as a legacy trail, other than something to bring happiness. But even that legacy trail is another responsibility cos everything is vanity.

Took so long

 It took me a while to come to this realisation I can criticise orthodox Christianity while enjoying gospel music. I can decide not to be religious, but groove to music You know why? Because music is transcendental. Same way you enjoy secular music as a Christian. Same way I'd enjoy an artist music without necessarily liking them as a person There is legit no black and white in matters of ideologies, faith, etc Most things are in the grey

Promises...

​Making a promise is easy but keeping them is much harder. Just like the saying "Easier said than done". Personally, I hold promises very dear to my heart and I rather prefer a person not to promise me than failing to keep such promise.  I remember a story I read online which made me angry for some reason but I will just summarize it. "A man lost his wife for nearly a decade and he didn’t remarry. He kinda resorted to criticising people that remarried and promised his last son that he wouldn't remarry at first. He even swore that even if he would it would be later and such be for companionship and he wouldn't have other kids again. In less than a year after saying that he got married and even had a kid" I'm just imagining how the child would have felt. Of course, he believed the father cos he trusted him but he could not live to the expectation. On a personal note, I think the father must have done the deed before even approaching the child which is ba...

I believe in Football and the impact it has had on my life. For me Football have always been more than just a game to play with friends. To me Football was everything, I had Football posters, Football pillow cases, watched Football movies. My whole life revolved around Football. I’ve been consumed by it since the day I was born. When I was young I was like any other kid except for I have always been short and until about age 11 I was skinny as a twig. These two faults in my genetic make up made it so it was hard for me to do some things I wanted to do. My favorite sport had always been football, but due to my size I did not meet the size requirements to play. So because of that I had to play other sports such as Dodgeball and Relay. Even as a child I knew playing these sports would only make me better, but mainly i just wanted to play football. Even though I was not always motivated to play these sports they had taught me a key element that would be necessary later in football and la...
