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

I used to be ashamed of being who I want to be You think because I’m a woman then I really can’t be me  You think cause I’m black then I really can’t be free  Well screw all your stereotypes cause God loves all equally I wanna be the president I really want to rule  Not cause I think I’m better cause I know what I can do  Cause every life we lose it makes me feel so confused Like is this really what my country has amounted to This isn’t just a poem  It’s a clear out declaration  I am Nigerian it’s my home and it’s my nation  I’m tired of killings and I’m tired of the pain  I’m 18 and I’m scared will I see the next day  Will I see my matriculation, my certification or convocation, or will I make it to my next birthday This is a call to everyone who thinks that they can do better  Everyone who knows now won’t be forever  When you leave your country you open doors up There’s evil there’...

Euphoria: S2E1 review

 Happy New Years!!!  As inactive as I’ve been this blog is ALWAYS on my mind!  I’ve decided to rebrand a little, I’ll still always write about what I want to but I want to make sure it reflects me completely and it’s what I want!  Let’s get right into it!  So initially I was personally happy that there was a cast of characters who apart from the fact that they’re basket cases didn’t make me hate them, yes even Nate I liked a lot in season 1    call it bad taste but yeah! Anyways so Cassie has made that streak die!  I’m personally in love with Sydney Sweeney and she’s An amazing actress. Cassie as a character has me confused, she’s in the running to be my next Ginny or Devi because atp wtf!  So Cassie had sex with Nate, funny part is it wasn’t just a casual small drunken decision that shocks everybody and happens suddenly it was a process of bad decisions that kept getting worse. I now adore the two new characters we met in episode one Ugh!...

❤️It’s Been A Minute❤️

Hey everyone, so I have been inactive in over a year. I’d usually explain why I was and go on and on and apologize but I’ve decided that everything requires getting used to so I hope you guys are ready to watch me grow and learn with this.  I know I haven’t really decided what exactly this blog is going to be about so far but considering I’ve been doing this for nearly 3 years and it’s been all over the place in some sort of disorganized mess why don’t we keep it going like it is  😂 . For years VR has been a safe space for me to share stuff I never saw myself sharing. I’ve written poems, reviews, lifestyle advice done interviews and it keeps growing. I’ve gotten a lot of positive comments despite the negatives but I still love writing as much as I did the first time I tried to write a novel in year 7. So I’m going to keep doing that regardless.  Let me give y’all a little update, so far I’ve been working on a lot in terms of my own life and sometimes (most times) I strug...
