IIn real life, unlike in pictures, you observe people dynamically. What you detect as "aging" is not appearance, but the loss of power and strength as they move around.

my ultimate delusion is that i will win. not maybe, not someday, not if things go right. i will win, it’s a certainty. and there’s nothing in this world strong enough to convince me otherwise.

I bitchily asked my 8 yo sister why she was following me everywhere around the house and she goes "you're my best friend I don't know what to do without you"....straight humbled my attitude😭😭

If you give me books, I’ll assume you’re trying to tell me you love me and you want us to merge souls and become one legally, spiritually, emotionally and physically.

a real love for fashion usually comes with an interest in art, history, and politics beyond fashion itself.

I can see my influence in anyone I’ve ever touched and I think it’s a beautiful compliment from the universe.

finding out that the etymology of infatuation is ‘foolish passion’ is very good for me this early morning 😭😭😭

[Oreoluwa Bukola, CFA. @BukkyOA]

I graduated from the University with a first class, and my Dad is to blame.

During my university days, my Dad would call me every day.

I mean, every day between 5 and 6am.

He is ruthless.

When he calls, you'd better not sound sleepy.

He will say something like: Don’t sleep away your greatness😩

He will ask me about my CGPA every day.

He will say: ‘You too can make a first class’

He will say: ‘That test you did last week, is the result out now’.

He gave me serious close marking.

He will come to school unannounced, and if I am in class, he will sit under a tree and wait for me to finish.

‘I am teary now’ - jeeeeez

I did not have any margin to fumble.

For 4 years! He was consistent.

And I remembered so vividly the day I told him my final results were out and that I would be graduating with a first class. He hugged me so tight, like I was his completed project.

He wore his best agbada to my graduation. Hahaha.
