How Quickly Do You Give Up?

 I won't even lie, I give up very fast. Let me provide the background story for this topic.

Some days ago, I had this sudden epiphany about starting a newsletter. It's something that'll challenge me, bring me out of my comfort zone and hone my skills. I was thinking, " This is going to be easy" Oh, how wrong I was.

Creating an account on Mail Chimp was easy, but that's where it stopped. My enemies started making a mockery of me when it was time to design my sign-up form. Do you guys know how hard it is to match attractive colours? Very damn hard. Everything kept looking like visual diarrhoea, and it wasn't long before my head started banging. Shoutout to designers, it isn't easy at all.

While I was facing the monkey ( Mailchimp ), I already felt like giving up. I still do, tbh. But then I asked myself, " How many things do you want to fail at? " LMAO, I'm laughing at myself as I'm writing this, but it's really true. I have this sad habit of running away from things that challenge me, and it's such a dumb thing. How will I ever grow if I run away at the slightest sign of hardship? 

I can't even count the number of things I started learning but gave up halfway because I got tired/lost interest, AKA gave up. Video editing, tailoring, baking... The list goes on and on. 

This newsletter is my pet project and I'm determined to set it up. If you're someone who goes through the same thing I do, hang in there. Hopefully, divine inspiration gives you enough motivation to push through.  And if you're someone who doesn't give up easily. I envy you. I really do. 

That's all I have to say for now, but you guys should watch out for my newsletter. Idek what I plan to do with it but I'm going to start from somewhere. Even if I'm my only reader.

I wish everyone that's reading this success and remember...

Why are humans?

 If i had written this post 2 weeks ago, I'd have probably had only good things to say but Satan ( maybe God too ) said " not yettt!!! " Like bruh can I fucking catch a break? Why do I always have to say or complain about things that should be common sense? Why could humans be so insensitive? Wtf. I've complained about this issue before and now I'll have to complain about it again? Me and my roommate probably have the best relationship ever but this her friend, MY GOD THIS HER FRIEND How will you be coming to somebody's room to read for exams? Aspa? The roommate no get exams too? How will i complain about this and she'll still be coming to read again? Well this is the part where I'm a pussy or a goat comes in. It's something I really should complain about but * inserts happy mumu song * Before I snap and randomly scream one night I'll be hopefully communicating this to my roommate. Because can I take this anymore? Not at all. My GPA is on life ...

Useless

 I feel more useless than condoms in a brothel. Now, now, I know I'm not ( possibly), but it never really matters does it?? You're trying your best to excel at something, but it never seems to work out. You know you're deserving of better things but it seems like sky daddy wants you to scramble a little more.  You've PRAYED, MANIFESTED, done everything short of sacrificing a virgin goat but stiiiiilllllll. Life just keeps fucking you with all sorts of diseases. When will it get better? When does it tho? You have 2 good days then the 5 remaining days are just a joke. I know I'm a joke but God, abeg nau. Razzpods, Sapa, intellectual decline etc.  People killing their loved ones isn't even entertaining me again, smh. But, we meuve. Things will get better ( AMEN)

It’s okay to be a bad belle, sometimes.

 Who says you have to be happy for someone's success? I don't know if I'll say it's the society that has conditioned us, but it almost seems like we're forced to be happy for someone else. But come on, we're human. Jealousy & envy is to be expected. I'm sure most, if not ALL, of us have seen someone celebrating something and thought, "why can't that be me? "It's perfectly normal, and you shouldn't feel bad for wanting what someone else has. Or thinking it should be you instead. It's giving hater but boo fucking hoo.  On a side note, this isn't for chronic haters oh. If you go about hating on people's success, that's on you tbh.  This is for my fellow people who sometimes feel less or like god's worst offspring when they see how well it's going for other people. I can't say it's going to get better, but you could make it better for yourself. I'm talking s...n...i.... Lmao, I'm joking! But fr, l...
