HANDLING DISAPPOINTMENT


Hey guys, so I am back with an essential post today, well as you can see from the title, this is about handling disappointments.

As teenagers and even adults (those who might be reading this right now…hiiiiiiiiiiiii) disappointment is a thing that life has packed for us in a very hefty box and serves it most of the time unfairly. 

Although I am not here to talk about having disappointments, I am here to talk about what you do when it happens and you’re about to get overwhelmed. Last year, a few months after my exams for university, I got the list of students that were admitted and very unfortunately my name was not on the list. Now I got 78% out of 100 on one of the exams (PUTME) and a 238 out of 400 on another, seems like a pretty alright result. Some people on that list had lower scores than I did but they still got in, so yeah I was extremely disappointed, I cried for a very long time, and my parents were upset too, everyone who knew kept saying its okay you’ll make it on the second list, well that isn’t out so if you’re reading this pray for me lol.

Uhm okay so what has helped me get on with life with as much zeal as before or even more is the thought that I am still breathing. One of my pastors made a statement that has kept me going as much as I shake or hurt or cry from disappointment. If one thing says no, something even better will say yes, those weren’t his words exactly “Obehi if Ilorin says no Harvard will say yes.” That was what he said (Ilorin was the school applied for btw). It took that and a lot of talking to God to give me the strength to still be happy to keep me the way I am. Being sad is fine though as long as it doesn’t prevent you from living.

We most times don’t get what we want and as much as it hurts and we are so tempted to give up we have to think about what we’ll loose of we don’t try again as many times as it takes. Sometimes disappointment gives us the zeal to try harder the next time. As much as it might seem as though it’s the end of the world, it’s also the beginning of a lot of new things and exciting things. So next time you get disappointed, after a while remember to relax, report to heaven and to regroup.


Thank you Guys so so much for reading this. I

Lord, I'm a mess

Hey guys So it's been a long time since I wrote anything i felt like posting , which means I have written a few things but nothing seemed right to post. But today at 5 am I got this huge burst of inspiration and now I want to change the word😂 Seems typical though I always talk about changing the world but I know I will cause I will start by changing me. Anyway so I wrote this and I think it'll inspire a lot of people so remember to give feedback. Lord I'm a mess I'm not clean I'll admit I said what I did and I did what I shouldn't I wake up unsure of the day If you still love me Or if you're tired of me living this way I cried and I cried And I searched for a sign Tell me there's hope Tell me there's time You said in your word "she will always be mine" So why am I so lost, simply one of the 99 Even though I'm not different I'm part of the crowd I love you till death and I'll love you aloud...

IT'S OKAY💫💫

Hey guys happy easter❤ If you're a Christian Easter is a little bit different then the regular holiday. Cause it's 3 days when you celebrate the greatest sacrifice and also the greatest show of love ever made by anybody in the world. And its crazy to think someone would actually legit die for us but Jesus did. And he resurrected today. So hallelujah I wrote that little snippet a while ago when I was a mess of feels and I decided to put it out there today to let everyone know it's okay and it's going to be okay. Sometimes as teenagers or youths we deal with a lot more than we can handle, school, family, friends, non-friends, religion and struggling to find yourself. And you may just discover you're upset or sad. Or For girls when hormones kick in. It's terrible. I just wanted to tell every guy or girl who's hurting out there that it will all work out. I'm 18 I haven't gotten life figured out to any point but in the end I know it will be okay. S...

TV SHOW REVIEW: RIVERDALE

Hello homo sapiens (Kelvin are you happy now), so this post as you can see is one of my favorite things to do, even without posting it, I adore TV shows and I’m pretty sure I watch it more than I do anything else in the world. So this is about maybe my favorite show of the year “Riverdale” Something that if you’re not watching I don’t know what you’re doing to be honest, anyway so Riverdale. (BEWARE OF SPOILERS) Riverdale is amazing. It’s the spinoff show the Archie Comics, and yeah it’s based off all the characters, but with a very different storyline than what you’d expect. It’s a thriller and I like that its more complex than the three minute Archie comic strips that you’d read and dismiss off at once. I feel it’s really smart, like if you were going to make a series make it complex and make it really fun, which is what the creators of this series did. So KJ Apa portrays Archie Andrews, the usually nervous and seemingly offbeat star. But in Riverdale reverse is the case ...
