Move On

No song on my playlist could describe how I'm feeling right now.
Maybe "sad" by Maroon 5 though not in the same context but you get the point.
I'm asking myself why bad things happen to good people, I've been asking for years though and no one seems to have the answer.
Is it about Kehinde Olowoidiaba's death?
He was a nice kid, he didn't deserve to die but who does anyway. He was one of the happy people I knew, I never saw him frown. I was in SS1 at the time, SS1 Platinum but he was in gold. He usually came to my class, called every girl his wife. He was very jovial, it was never a dull moment around him.
But then, he had to die.
Aunty Latifat was my Aunt's friend, she was very sweet to I and my brother whenever we went to visit her or followed my aunt to her house then one day, she had to die.
Hers was the first loss that personally affected me, it was hard for me to accept that I was never going to see her again.
When I heard about her death, I expected it to be accompanied by an "it's a lie o" but no, she was gone for real.
As if that wasn't bad enough, Mummy Dayo too had to die.
Mummy Dayo was one of the sweetest women I had met if not the sweetest. She worried about me like I was her own child but then again, she had to die.
Then Yemi too had to die (read about her in one of my previous posts).


You're probably wondering why I'm writing all these, let me fill you in.
I slept at about 5am this morning because I stayed up all night watching a series called the revolution. Woke up by 6am for morning devotion, went back to bed then woke up at about 8am to run an errand.
I turned on my phone to reply mails and all but I discovered that my phone had developed a mind of its own so I had to wipe off every data. I had a lot of useful information saved on it and now it's all gone.
It then got me thinking about why bad things happen to good people but then, thank God it isn't something more tragic like the phone being stolen at least I could wipe the phone because I saw it.
My data loss can't be compared to the loss of the aforementioned people. I know we've all lost valuable possessions and people and it's hard to believe that we would have to survive without them but I think it's time to move on.
There are certain questions we might never get an answer to, curiosity doesn't make the situation any better so I say RIP to every one and thing we've lost, let's stop crying over spilled milk.
Let's Move On.

There are several advantages in loss..it opens our eyes to amend our wrongs then edit our mistakes.
There are stories I misplaces but when I rewrite it, it gets better.

Who Says There Are No Pervs In Church?

Dear OTTH readers, how are we? I spent my weekend resting and going through dorisaniunoh.blogspot.com, you know as a writer, one shouldn't depend on themselves, so every now and then, I go through other blogs because not only do I learn a lot from them, they also inspire me to write something. I love reading from Doris' blog because like me, she writes real life stuff, something I could actually relate to not how Davido got robbed and the likes. I've been meaning to write about this in a while but procrastination won't let me but today I have bound the spirit hence here it is. I'm certain we all know who a perv is but just incase we don't, perv is the shortform for the word "pervert" and it refers to someone who's sexually obsessed according to Google and that's about what it means so I guess we all get the picture and we'd understand better as we proceed. I've always thought pastors would at least act like pastors no matter the tempt...

Love With Blood?

Dear OTTH readers, I hope we're good because I'm very fine. You know me and the things that bother me, lol. The other day, I was discussing with Anuli (CEO, Iluna photography)  about how I think it's abnormal to have sexual relations with any member of ones family and she made a point by saying that it's a norm in some places #onemansmeat...you know the drill but that it doesn't make it right. I understand that people crush on their cousins and all and I also understand that my culture might be a taboo someplace else but haba! Why would you have sexual relations with your family member? I used to think it was always sexual abuse when things like that happen but I've found out that people actually do it with pride and talk about it without shame. I remember someone telling me how he makes out with his cousin and he loves her so much and I'm like gfhdsshgk? Over the years, I've heard and I still hear of different cases of incest and it was beginning t...

Mirabel's Dairy

My name is Mirabel Blakewood, I'm 20 years old. My parents died when I was 6 in a car accident on the 25th of July, 2001 and I've been living with Maternal Grandmother until she also passed away when I was 15. I still stay at my Grandmother's till date. I'm quite tall, I have brown eyes just like my Dad's. I remember it when he used to read me bedtime stories, I would stare deep into his eyes till I fell asleep. I keep a small circle of friends - Jeff, Sarah, Lionel and Amy. We've been friends since we were kids. They've been my family too. My Grandmother was a very quiet woman, she was a woman of noble mien. She had no friends and she barely spoke to anyone. She would say hello to few people after the service on Sunday then be back to her normal withdrawn self. There was something my Grandma passed on to me, it's called the Peth spirit. It was passed on to her by her mother when she was dying but my Mum didn't live long enough for it to b...
