You People Have Not Seen Anything!
By the time I'm done? *laughs in wicked baddie body
The devil works hard because I almost didn’t write today. The pressure I’ve been getting recently from this “devil” to leave everything I’m doing and quit is insane. Every morning, I wake up and ask myself if I really need to write, research, analyze, create content, or do whatever. Why can’t I just lay in bed and sleep the day away? I better be a stone or a rock in my next life✋🏽
Ngl, if I see the option to be a rich man’s housewife like those Dubai women on TikTok married to billionaires, and all they do is go on girls’ trips and drive their fancy cars—I’ll take it like MAD. Let me just be driving my Ferrari around Abuja and everyone will be shouting “Oga Madam, good morning o!”
I’m kidding!
Or not?
Anyway, the devil is a liar because look who’s achieving her January goals? Meeee!
One of my goals for the month was to find a gym, register, and get fit! And yesterday for the first time, I went to the gym, and although my legs hurt like hell. (I literally can’t stand up without supporting myself with something like a freaking old woman in her 80s) I’m low-key enjoying it. It feels so good.
While working out, though, I’ve had to question myself numerous times—like what’s the purpose for this? Imagine doing all these for a “body” you won’t take with you when you die. It’s diabolical, like what even is the essence? But as my gym partner would say “Kill the negativity and just treat life the way you’d want it to treat you” (I don’t see how that relates to working out today and dying tomorrow, but anything for the vibes, I guess).
Also, I need to stop fucking thinking and questioning everything, Jesus!
That aside, I’ve stared at the mirror 10-15 times between yesterday and today because I don’t care if they say change takes time. I’m seeing some changes already duh✋🏽🙄
The highlight of this whole gym experience isn’t even the “workout” itself but the fact that I’m waking up as early as 5 a.m. Look at me being productive! As much as I might despise the “perspire to aspire” people, they’re kinda right when they said waking up early is a great way to start your day, because hmm! (I did spend most of yesterday sleeping because my body hurts, but yeah, what they said!)
Oh, and by the time I’m done with this body, it’s me and you guys! I fit dey write about the financial and economic state of the world, make I post my figure 8 picture follow. There’s nothing you people will not see. Just wait for me!
A little bit of Weekend Recap
Plugging another beautiful female-centric historical drama for my cdrama watchers called “Flourished Peony.” Like every other female-centric drama, it highlights the beauty of feminism and the struggles older women face in a world that sees them as nothing but women made mainly for men and the household. With a side of romance hehe.
For my kdrama girlies looking for older-office romance, “Love Scout” is perfect for you!
I’ve read five books since the year started, but one book that stood out to me was the one I finished during the weekend. A Nigerian book, titled “Tomorrow I Become a Woman” It’s centered on feminism, domestic violence, Nigeria's politics in the ‘80s and ‘90s, the Biafra war, and the struggle for motherhood. I highly recommend it. Also, by the time you’re done reading, the only words you’ll have are, “Feminists/Women are not angry ENOUGH!” The book is waaaay too realistic! And if you grew up in a broken family, it’d hit close to home.
Lastly, the “This is Maverick City” worship playlist was my partner throughout the weekend, and dare I say, some of their worship songs brought me to tears. I love them so much!
