"To 22"

Dear Winner,
  I'm so proud of you, you pushed and pushed and postponed till you finally got it out there. After postponing for 4 years, you finally took 'THE' step.
  Dear Faith, 
    I'm so proud of you, we all believed that you didn't have it in you to leave him and move on but you proved us wrong
    Dear Peace,
      I'm so proud of you, hehe ASU showed you shege and you went back, I'm happy you didn't decide to give up along the way, I mean dropping out sounded so good at that time and you're getting that degree
      Dear Tinuke, 
        I'm so proud of you, remember how we made a bet and we all agreed that you'd be the first to start a family amongst us, how school was not for you and you'd be a better mother figure. Take a look at you now, despite the heartbreaks and discouragements you followed your heart. Married life looks good on you btw
        Emeka Emeka,
          Emeka wey don chop breakfast tire, you took her back 13 times! Yes I was counting o, at least you're getting fatter now that she has finally left you, I'm so proud of you!
          Ade mi,
            Can you still remember their comments they made when you said you were no longer coming back to school? How our lecturers looked at you like a failure and some students talked about you for months, they thought you didn't know what you were doing with your life, now look at you, Omo iya mi, I'm proud of you jare, keep stepping their necks let it break
            Aunty Ore,
              Hehe, you have seen shege o, I know you don't think you achieved anything this year but you managed to keep your sanity in check and that is the biggest achievement, some people got a lot but managed to loose their sanity, I'm proud of you baje
              Dear me and you,
              I'm so proud of us, I know 2022 was tough for the lot of us, we cried, we lost, we loved, we didn't even achieve half of the things we hoped to achieve but we still won! I'm happy that you got out of bed those days that anxiety delt with you overnight and you couldn't sleep a wink, the days I cried and wiped my tears and plastered a smile on my face like a champ, the days we fell but helped each other up, the days I felt uninspired and you weren't inspired either but you still found inspiration for me, the days we didn't have enough to eat but still shared out last 2k with 11 others. I'm so proud of our wins and losses, I can't even beginning to go through them one by one. Here's a little piece from my bag of love to yours, as 2022 comes to an end I hope we remember the good and happy days, the days we had smiles on our faces and the lessons that brought about those smiles, don't beat yourself up about the goals you haven't achieved cause I'm also trying not to do that, I hope we learnt a valuable lesson from this year to live and love and also avoid anything that will cause see finish!
           PS: I love you, me, our finished and unfinished goals and 2022 too!

Dear 20

    My interesting new age, I honestly had no plans to write you a letter but here I am sitting in the kitchen thinking about how life has changed so much in the past few weeks. And how I've had to put so many people before myself even after making so many promises to myself to put my self first, I've thought of so many things that I had told myself I would never have to think of, done so many things I could have sworn I'll never do. I've smiled more, cried more, hoped and longed for more, tried harder and even prayed more. I've learnt so much about life, love, family, friendship and even myself, some of this things I had hoped I'd have to learn later in life. I'm hardly decent at expressing myself or making decisions or being me but one thing I think I'm decent at is writing how I feel and that's why I'm writing to you     My interesting new age, just Incase you're wondering what the perfect gift would be, maybe you could get me that bouncin...

WINNER OR FAILURE

     I woke up today feeling like a total failure. These past few months I've been doing a lot of thinking. Brainstorming, trying to gather ideas, reading almost everything on the internet, and writing everything in my mind on paper. It feels like the moment I take a step forward, I end up taking a thousand steps back to where I started.      3 years ago, when I clocked 16, I had written a few realistic goals that I hoped to have achieved or at least have taken some important steps toward achieving but here I am few weeks to 20 and I can't say I've taken an important step towards achieving my most realistic goal. Yh, I know according to some people, I'm doing a lot better than other people my age but if only I could stop feeling like a failure long enough for me to understand and accept that.      I've chosen to blame this feeling on a lot of factors asides from myself, I mean we're Nigerians, isn't that what we're supposed to do? At first, I...

Dear me,

 Dear me,  It saddenes my heart to have to bring you this news. Late last night, after a much needed conversation with myself, I have come to a realization that I no longer have feelings for him. I just wanted to let you know right away, so that you didn't have to realize through my changed attitude or nonchalant behavior towards him.       While I don't have plans as to what my next step will be, I have decided that going forward, I would put myself first and strive to achieve my own dreams and ambitions.i hope you can understand the reason for my change of heart.    In as much as it saddens me to bring you this news, I am also filled with immense happiness that I'm out of that phase of my life. I really hope you see reasons with me.  With love, Me
