Hi guys, I hope you are well?

So I have joined the YouTube family!!! This has been not only an exciting journey for me but also scary. I have been learning a lot about editing and all that stuff. I decided to join YouTube as a means for you guys to get to know the face and voice behind my blog and also to continue sharing my journey with the world.

My friends and I took a trip to our woods and I have to say it was amazing!! I absolutely love the views there and it just made me stand in awe of the beauty God made which is all around us and sometimes we miss it because we are in a hurry. Here are some of the pictures I took

I have been thinking for sometime about my journey, my process and myself. When I look at my life and those that started with me, I can’t help but think that I am a little (or A LOT) behind them. I hate it when I run into an old college friend or a secondary school classmate messages me on Facebook or twitter talking about where they are and asking me what I am doing at the moment. I am sorry to say but I always lie. I just cannot bring myself to tell them I am not were I thought I should be or where they are right now.

This makes me think of how many years I have lost and realising I cannot get them back. Some days I am not bothered about the years as I tell myself ‘’it is not how far but how well.’’ For in those years, I didn’t even know who I was or what I wanted to do with my life: I made several mistakes in trying to find my purpose.

Often we spend our time counting up what we do not have instead of what we do have. We think about what we have lost instead of what we have left. This prevents us from realising how truly blessed we are! – Oreoluwa Esther

Sometimes I sleep peacefully, other times I beg sleep to come to me. This time, I lie awake waiting for my morning with tears streaming down my face; and the wetness of the pillow beneath my head. How many days have I been crying for?

I get up to look outside my window and it is dark. I try to watch the stars from my window but I cannot see any. How long will these seasons last for? I have been waiting and praying for my morning to come and every time it feels like the sky is getting darker by the day. I cannot even see a glimpse of dawn approaching.

I think my sun has refused to rise up! What do I need to do for my light to appear? I’m tired of crying, help me lord! Sometimes, I think I see the stars’ and there are times, like today, my clouds are just dark. I am tired of thinking about this situation. I constantly ask myself, why can’t my life be like the people around me. Oh! I have learnt that people show you their victories and not their struggles.

Sometimes it is the things we believe that holds us back, that same thing cripples us from achieving our goals.

Don’t listen to the negative voice inside you- You can be anything you want if you keep dreaming high
