it is an unwritten rule of life that after every prolonged period of hardship and uncertainty, there is going to be a period when you are going to achieve quantum leaps across multiple areas of your life. the only requirement is that you do not give up on yourself.
Unrelated, but this just came to mind.
My guys in VIP Crew, the best dance crew in FCE Abeokuta at the time went for the same talent show that Zlatan competed in. When they returned, they couldn't stop talking about one guy. "There's this rapper..." they kept saying. According to them, he was absolute fire. That rapper was Zlatan.
Back on campus, we also had Islambo; yes, the same Islambo who was already a big deal in our school with "Oga", that song went platinum inside school lmaoo . Around that same period, Kizz Daniel was in FUNAAB, and because his dad was a Fine Arts lecturer in FCE Abeokuta with an office just behind our department, he never felt like a distant celebrity story. I even knew his brother, Uthman. Sir lamms, Oberz, Ajanaku, Mansa Jabulani and many more that didn't make it to this level but gave us hitsss.
Looking back now, it's amazing to realize how many artists who would go on to shape Nigerian music were already crossing paths around Abeokuta. At the time, they were just talented young people trying to make a name for themselves. We had no idea we were witnessing the beginning of something much bigger.
You should have things you don't do, places you don't go to, substances you don't take, words you don't say
By all means, have Principles and Standards.
After another short break, weโre back.
Volume 9 continues the journey through films that challenge, inspire, and stay with you long after the credits roll. ๐ฌ
Iโve started appreciating days where nothing dramatic happens. no bad news, no stressful interactions, no overwhelming thoughts. just a normal, quiet day where everything is calm. those are the days that actually feel like rest.
