Ayo 🌱❤️

You are a friend I’ve known since forever. It all started back in secondary school, when everyone used to call you Madara, as in Uchiha Madara. I always found that name quite peculiar. I watched you from afar, gentle, soft-spoken, and incredibly intelligent. Even then, you were a force to be reckoned with. With your silent perseverance, you and the rest of our group of geniuses would compete among yourselves over who could master the chemistry, physics, and biology textbooks.

I have always admired your strength. I have always admired your resilience. I’m really glad you were able to conquer every single obstacle that came your way, to live your life the way you wanted, and to come out so strong and admirable.

We graduated in 2016, and it has been exactly ten years since then. I’m glad that after a decade, you now have something so great to offer the world. I’ve had conversations with you many times at different points in your life and mine, and all I’ve ever seen is someone special, someone with a softness about them, someone with a gentle heart, someone who went through so much yet was strong enough to overcome every obstacle.

Now, seeing where you are and how far you’ve come, I’m overwhelmed with joy. You are proof of what someone can become if they never give up. I am so glad for you. I am so proud of you.

Go into the world and become everything you want to be. You are going to save so many lives. You are going to be admired by so many people. Be who you have always known yourself to be.

From the bottom of my heart, I consider you a very good friend of mine. Maybe not the kind of friend I speak to every day, but please know that you always have someone in your corner, someone who truly cares about you and the things that happen to you, even if I don’t always say it.

Go be the light and shine like you have always been meant to be.

Congratulations Dr. Adesina Ayomide 🎉

The Coconut

Brown on the outside but white on the inside. Brown signifies dirt, even more than this is the texture that the coconut bears. It is hard and almost impossible to break without an external force. There is nothing appealing about the appearance of a coconut, but on the inside... On the inside is sweetness, pureness and softness. One entity and yet different from two perspective. A person may seem very hard on the surface, by your standards a very tough wild human being, but he feels too just like you do. In fact, he might be softer than what most might think. Have you ever thought about why he does the things he does, why he's arrogant and acts out? Maybe more than an over inflated ego is a softness, a sore part he's trying to hide. The key is understanding people though it's not always easy, 'cause you need patience and love; two very scarce things these days. I'm not excusing them but I just think, there is a reason for eve...

Wow, Old things have passed away.

 Not many people know me, most times, people never truly do. At this moment in time, a lot of things exist happening simultaneously around the world. Some good some bad. These things eventually come to you in the form of people and events, you 'taste' the world. You witness its beauty and ugliness. Each new experience forms your person. You learn you unlearn, you relearn. I'm going to be 24 years in two days. This feels like such a huge number. Do I feel my age? Nope.  Since my mum passed 8 years ago, I had felt stuck in time. Never really growing up mentally because there were no longer parental markers to highlight my growth. You were on your own.  I noticed I still craved things, juvenile things as I aged, and I wanted them with the fervency I would have had, when I was younger. I talked to my brother about this and he was able to help me get out of that state. Now I'm not afraid to grow up. It's a blessing to be able to grow up. God made you, He knew what would...
