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’...

Hey guysssss Its me again😌😌😌 Well I'm guessing you knew that since you are on my blog and whatnot so😂 Okay so I wanted to do this as a middle of the year post since at my church we are going to have a massive Sunday on the 25th just praising God and going all out for keeping us till the middle of yet another year. Uhm, so I will be going to the university soon, and honestly, I haven't gotten admission yet, cause the lists aren't out for my school and all, but people always question my choice, like "Obehi why that school?" "Do you know how hard it is to get it" "The partiality is too much etc. Well they're all right and I get it, I do appreciate the concern but everything is human worry, and human mentality, what we see as a mountain from down here, God sees it as a little rock. And I just wanted to do this today since I had this surge of energy and encouragement to write. This year, it seemed to me like the devil was purposely...

BOOK REVIWS

HI HI HI HI HI☺☺☺☺☺☺ I am back from the land of bloggers block and I’m here to do book reviews, think of it as a valentines treat. For those who are like me and aren’t planning on turning up tomorrow, or doing anything social except social networking, and of course socializing with family…(UGH!) curling up with a good book is always a valentine💚💚💚💙💙💙💛💛💜💜💗💗💗💖💖💕💕💓💓💓💝💝💝💞💞💞💟💟💟💋💋 treat. I am obsessed with books that actually have their own movies which is why we see MEMOIRS OF A GEISHA This book is fantastic, I read it and I kept on reading it, the writer Arthur Golden is really golden. The Asian culture has always been beautiful to me so seeing it here has been a lovely literary experience, a core favorite of mine is how he shows the utmost transition from a poor girl in a fishing village to one of the best geisha in all of Japan, though she is drenched is modesty and she gives a classic line that I do take as a personal phras...
