What the HEART wants!

The heart is such an interesting organ and part of our lives. In fact, when we are down emotionally, we say our hearts hurt. When we lose or break up with a loved one, we say the heart is broken. 

This heart is such a rugged 'ride or die' - some sort of bestie that we never knew. You meet someone and it skips, beats, somersaults, LOL😂! 

Does yours do some fireworks stunt? Errm, nooo, that is not my type of heart! We know the other buddy of the body that does that😛. Oh, you don’t? I will leave you to figure that out - yourself. 

Now, stop smiling and imagining things. Just look at you. 

Let’s go back to the heart of this talk. 

 

So, I was saying, you meet someone, you talk, love, and then break up. Then you cry, wail, can’t sleep, you think you will never heal and oh, you make your friends miserable - you need to thank those friends! 

Somehow, the heart without telling you finds a way to heal itself, and you the emotional coconut head, meet other people down the line, maybe, if you are unlucky again, same story (scratch that, you are such a lucky charm).

 

Let me help cut that long story short. Look back at those friendships or relationships you thought your heart may never heal from. Now, just look at how you are glowing and beaming with smiles - you are probably with someone who loves you genuinely too, or with yet another story that may touch your heart, or you are just cruising in this amaze-balls single life of yours - cheers to that too! 

The point is, the heart always finds a way to heal. You are the one, who should learn, accept and adapt to your reality. You are the one, who should learn never to define your continuous source of joy and happiness to a person, thing, job, title, or anything at that.  

 

Now, you are thinking, how can this small girl be so sure of this? 

Be there, me, I am smiling, the type of smile that someone who knows more and wants you to know that they do - those rich aunties vibe smile. Yes, you got it - you just did it too. 

My (bestie) heart, reminded me of these things during one of our conversations (yes, we talk) - come, haven’t you heard of heart talk? I don’t care what your definition is - me and my bestie talk. Period. 

 

Wait, why do you like interrupting me with your thoughts? My heart doesn’t like that, you know. 

Talk to your heart too. It will remind you of all those previous “heart breaks” and how you came out of them. You will be fine and I thought to remind you this, too😉. 

 

Note: 

We may never totally heal from the loss of a loved one. But the heart really wants you to heal from that pain and perhaps keep the beautiful memories of the ones you lost alive. The memories that will forever make your heart warm and flutter - they would want that for you too! 

 

We may never be able to heal from some deep pains, abuses, and betrayals. Hmmm, as hard as it might seem, the only and best way to move forward is to stop and heal. 

To everyone hurting or still struggling with some hurts or memories that have become nightmares, my heart prays for yours to find peace, love, and warmth. 

 

Love always, 

TA

For My G.Ma - Felicia

I never knew I would miss her this much. People never understood why I love Christmas. I didn’t quite get it too – apart   from the bursting joy of the birth of Christ, the melodious songs and beautiful decorations; there was more to the super hyper and lovey-dovey feeling I always have this season. So, I was scrolling through my phone gallery and saw the last photo I had with my G.Ma. Oh by the way, Christmas was her birth and death day. I’m writing this because of her. Just to share a bit of her awesomeness with you. That woman was a bad-ass! Reminiscing on my childhood memories with her, I realized she was the reason I love Christmas. I usually spent my Christmas and New-Year holidays with her as a child. She would take me to her church and ask the priest to allow me join other children in the Christmas carol rehearsals and performances. She would take me to the salon and have my hair done and accessorized. I hated making my hair, it was just too stressf...

Hello there!

Is it too late to say happy new year😥?! I mean, a quarter in the year 2021 is almost over, so I will let this mushy feeling slide, and let’s say I will pretend like I have been writing and written to you all these while.    Happy? Yes.    So, what have you been up to?  As for me, after the whole #EndSARS movement, I just literally had this block. In fact, I wrote a couple of things in my notebook but just couldn’t bring myself to sharing here.  I was beyond devastated, as many people – Nigerians were.    Anyways, before and since then, I was also doing a lot of thinking, studying, and preparing for a professional examination, which I wrote and passed in December, last year – yay!! Then, I have just been having ideas on a lot of things I would have loved to share with you but you know what they say about procrastination. Yea….got the best of this relationship!   I’m sorry.  Now, I hope to be more consistent – I know I have said that a mi...
