The One About Hemorrhoids

-
 Let me start by saying something important: nobody warns you about adulthood properly. It Started Innocently. Everything was normal. I woke up, drank my tea, minded my business like a responsible citizen. Around midday, I felt pressed and off to the loo I went to do a number two. Five minutes after, my life changed. Chaos. The Moment of Realization Let me tell you something: when hemorrhoids arrive, they do not knock politely . They enter like an uninvited relative during Christmas. Suddenly sitting down is no longer an activity. It becomes a negotiation with destiny . I sat down. My body said: “Excuse me, who authorized this?” I stood up. My body said: “Where do you think you're going? ” At that point I realized this pain is not joking with me. The Walk of Suffering Let me talk about walking. Normally, walking is simple. Left leg and right leg abi? But when hemorrhoids flare up, you start walking like someone that is transporting fragile eggs between your bu...

Audacity Of Hope And Other Stories.....

AUDACITY OF HOPE: The way Nigeria and even the world is set up right now, a lot of things are on hold due to the pandemic. A lot of business and travel projections that are now almost unachievable and some outrightly in the bin. A few weeks back, I called one of my girls and as we got talking I just started to cry for all the the things I thought by now I would have achieved and moved past but no thanks to the world and it's madness. She allowed me vent and then pointed out all the things that I took for granted  But in the midst of all the chaos, there is always a glimmer of hope.  If you close your mind, you won't see it. It is very human to be fixated on the things that are not working and choosing to ignore the tiny little bits that are. Do not let the world rob you of your joy and peace. Look up, have that audacity to HOPE that all will be well. SEE FINISH : I have a son who has not been back in school since March 2020 when lockdown started.  He is 4 years old and fo...
