I promise, I am not going cold on you. I am just making peace with my mind that life as I have known it is about to be over. First of, like I lamented about in my last post, this semester is not as much an easy ride for me as I am used to and it is a very strange thing to deal with for me. In the same vein, as this is my last semester in Undergrad., I have been having a lot of mixed feelings. The school structure is all that I have been about. I don't know how else to structure my life. However, thank God for the wonderful people around me, I am highly encouraged to just chill out a bit and live for me myself & I (as opposed to expectations and the society)...for a change. So after this semester, I am definitely leaning back to smell the roses.....then, we can get back into the sucking tubule of education.
I am deeply saddened by all the gory news making their rounds in the world these days.

BlackEyedPeas asked us to practice what we preach but I am not even sure what we preach anymore. Our sermons seem to be full of so much ambiguity and innuendos. These days, only a few things indeed make me happy. Quite frankly, I am updating because I hate to see that I did so just once so far this month. I have so much, yet so little to say. I don't want my melancholy transposing here because that is not the theme of this blog, plus, I am genuinely tired of complaining all the time anyway.
I dropped a food entry on avartsycooking.com here. Head over and show some love joo! 9jaFoodie, you will proud of your girl's presentation.
By the way, where is everybody? That I am too melancholic to update doesn't make me melancholic enough not to read your posts o, so you people better deliver!!!
Many thanks to everyone for your continued virtual support....I can't explain it but it helps me find a balance, somehow.
P.S: If you know/have links to academic journals, write-ups, etc concerning the Oil Subsidy....everything about it, kindly drop them in the comment box.
*hugs* I know EXACTLY how you feel! I felt like a few weeks ago but I just decided to throw my hands up and allow God to take the wheel...because worrying about what the future holds won't do any good...just pray and be hopeful...*smile* God is in control!
ReplyDeleteHmmm, sometimes when we see what is happening all around us, we cannot help but feel melancholic. Its sometimes heartbreaking. Just try not to dwell on it too much so you don't get depressed
ReplyDeleteDon't let it get you down.
ReplyDelete*sweeping the gloom away* en en, where was i? ok, it is normal to feel what you feel but biko, shake it off. Don't dwell on the things you can't change; focus on the thing's you can and let God deal with the rest. You gat this xoxo

The lord is your strength. Be strong and don't give up!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back lady! (I am recently back myself to blogging). Everyone is allowed to stop, reflect, re-examine and question things around them. Its your one life on earth. Make sure you are comfortable with it and who you are in it. And what you dont like: change (IF YOU CAN). The best way to see it is like that prayer they say in AA: God, grant me the serenity to accept those things I cannot change, the courage to change those things I can and the wisdom to know the difference. Virtual hug to you!
ReplyDeleteThe gloomy feeling will pass soon dear. You just know that we will be right here with you to cheer you up. *Huggsss hun*
