I don’t even know where to begin, because everything is wrapped up in the little things. The bouquet of flowers, the calls and texts beginning of the week, the little visits and sleep overs. You have made my life much easier. I never had friends growing up. Thank you for sharing life’s joys and pains with me. I see it all and I am very grateful. I love you to the moon and back.
To a forever “friendship”.
Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
In 2033.
What makes you laugh?
BBT I love this show, I like Sheldon’s response and Raj’ love life. I am currently watching F.R.I.E.N.D.S and The Office. My sense of humour is up there. I will be laughing out loud at them TV jokes. I binge watch funny TikTok videos and memes.
Another thing that makes me laugh is how Chimamanda or Nigerian authors throw in some humour in their writing. I am currently reading The thing around your neck at some point she was describing a man’s face and she wrote that God created this man’s face and then sticked it to the wall or something. I laughed so hard. It was hilarious.
What tattoo do you want and where would you put it?
I admire tattoos from a distance. I don’t see myself getting one because of certain reasons. But If I am to have one It would be like this;
What was the best compliment you’ve received?
People always tell me that I am kind. It’s hard to take the compliment sometimes because I believe everyone should be kind. Why do you have to be mean? The world is messed up and scary, you might be standing next to someone grieving or suicidal the least we can do is to be kind to each other.
Most of my patients always talks about me having a good aura; When I first heard it I thought I got lost in the translation. I didn’t know anything about having a good aura until then.
I treasure compliments on personality over looks .I find them genuine. I have a feeling that people over-compliment how I look. I know I am pretty and all😌😹
People have less control over their looks. A personality or character is something you develop and work on. Let this be a beautiful day Go compliment someone.
Do you enjoy your job?
mmmm yeah I do , I absolutely love doing what I do. I will not sugarcoat it, my job is hard, it’s exhausting and it takes all of you. The shifts aren’t constant you pay with Circadian rhythm disorders. But I go home with a full heart knowing one life has breathed easier because of me.
The rooftop is my favourite place, I don’t get it because I suffer from extreme acrophobia. I usually go there to breathe or to quick mourn a loss of a patient. It’s peaceful on top I get to see the city and all the tall buildings, makes me feel like I have it all under control.
What is the last thing you learned?
I am very proud of myself. The braids weren’t plaited perfectly but they looked nice. My make up was okay for someone new to this.
It’s been a month and I am about to remove them and let my afro breath . I used to be jealous of the girls that plaited their own hair and did their make up . But I am one of them now or almost and I am so happy.
Talk about the pain that comes with bending and trying to plait the back of your head. But it is worthy it because I get to have the chance to bond with me,catch up on my favourite podcasts, documentaries and sermons. A good and fruitful 7 hour session.
If there was a biography about you, what would the title be?
I came I saw I conquered
A Latin quote from Julius Caesar. Life has been giving me K.O’s but here I am still standing. Not everyone suffers loudly. When Caesar made that statement he was cementing his legacy, making room. My greatest fear happened in 2020 I can’t speak for the future but I can boldly say, I will get over it and like air I will rise.
You get some great, amazingly fantastic news. What’s the first thing you do?
One thing about me I will always glorify God, even with the tiniest things. Sometimes I just whisper and say that was you God and Thank you.
Do you need a break? From what?
I miss the 80’s man, I was born in 93. I feel like life was easier then. The current way of life now feels like someone is holding the steering and just driving you in any direction. You are compelled to work and spend in a certain way.
You can’t take a break because bills going to be due. Everything will be due. The cost of living is crazy . A girl just want to have a vacation in Greece, Elafonisi Island sunbasking. Is that too much to ask for?
A public diary.
