This Is Me Pouring Out My Random Thoughts, There’s No Defined Topic !

THE ONE BIG THING
1. I've been flirting with mortality for what feels like an eternity - death's doorstep has been my unwelcome companion for years, and I've even tried to take the shortcut a few times, but fate's had other plans.
2. Fast-forward to 2025, and I'm still standing (barely). Life's been a whirlwind, and I've been riding the waves, trying to stay afloat. Transition's been my middle name, and growth has been the reluctant reward.
3. Tomorrow's a mystery, and I'm too exhausted to care. I'm surrendering to the unknown, embracing the fatigue, and letting rejuvenation be my new mantra. Maybe then, I'll figure out the next plot twist.
4. Some scars run too deep, and mine are still tender. But amidst the wreckage, gratitude's the spark that keeps me going. I don't know what I'm thankful for, but it's the only lifeline I've got.
5. Change? Me? Never! Or so I thought. Now, I'm craving it like a new favorite flavor. One Big Thing can flip the script, and I'm ready to see what that thing might be. Bring on the plot twists!

Embracing The Kinetic Self : Step, Motion, March
"Step, Motion, March"
These are the three words that now govern my life. If it was last year, I wanted to stand on my feet so bad, I couldn’t even think of a catchphrase. If it was two years ago ? It was “redirection”. Three years ago ? It was also “redirection”
So let’s say between three years, my catchphrase evolved from “redirection” to “step, motion, march”. See these words or phrases are more than just catchphrases but I couldn’t find a word to precisely define what I want to say.
They’re usually like mantras, letters that guide my life, my routine, I hope I’m making sense. I also tend to use this words commonly these days, the context may differ but the motive is the same. So let’s dive into it !
"Embracing the Kinetic Self: Unleashing the Transformative Power of Motion as a Mantra"
In the grand tapestry of existence, motion is the underlying thread that weaves together the fabric of reality. From the celestial ballet of planets to the molecular waltz of atoms, motion is the eternal heartbeat of the universe. As we navigate the labyrinthine corridors of the human experience, we often overlook the profound wisdom that motion imparts. It is time to reclaim this wisdom and harness the transformative power of motion as a mantra to guide us on our journey of self-discovery ( I’m actually speaking for myself but if you think it’ll work for you then please, by all means, indulge further ) .
The Paradox of Stasis and Motion -
In a world where stability and equilibrium are often touted as the epitome of mental and emotional well-being, we tend to view motion as a disruptive force. We strive to create a sense of stasis, a comfortable equilibrium that shields us from the uncertainties of life. Yet, this pursuit of stability can lead to stagnation, causing our minds and spirits to atrophy.
Motion, on the other hand, embodies the essence of change, growth, and evolution. It is the spark that ignites the flame of creativity, propelling us forward into the unknown. By embracing motion as a mantra, we can transcend the limitations of stasis and tap into the dynamic, ever-changing nature of reality.
The Three Principles of Kinetic Transformation -
To unlock the transformative power of motion, we must first understand its underlying principles. These principles serve as the foundation for our kinetic mantra, guiding us on our journey of self-discovery and growth.
1. Inertia is Illusion: The concept of inertia suggests that an object at rest will remain at rest, unless acted upon by an external force. However, this principle can also be applied to our mental and emotional states. We often believe that our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are fixed, immutable entities. Yet, this inertia is merely an illusion. By introducing motion into our lives, we can shatter this illusion and unlock the potential for change and growth.
2. Momentum is Mindset: Momentum is the product of an object's mass and velocity. In the context of our kinetic mantra, momentum represents the cumulative effect of our thoughts, emotions, and actions. By cultivating a mindset that embraces motion and change, we can generate momentum in our lives, propelling us toward our goals and aspirations.
3. Friction is Feedback: Friction is the resistance that arises from the interaction between two surfaces in motion. In our kinetic journey, friction represents the feedback we receive from our environment, others, and ourselves. By embracing friction as a source of feedback, we can refine our approach, adjust our trajectory, and continue moving forward with greater ease and precision.
Embracing the Kinetic Self -
As we integrate the principles of motion into our lives, we begin to embody the kinetic self. This dynamic, ever-changing aspect of our being is the source of our creativity, resilience, and growth.
To cultivate the kinetic self, try incorporating the following practices into your daily routine:
• Move your body: Engage in physical activities that bring you joy, whether it's walking, dancing, or practicing yoga. Motion stimulates the mind and awakens the spirit.
• Challenge your mind: Engage in mentally stimulating activities that push you out of your comfort zone. This could include learning a new skill, reading a book outside your usual genre, or solving puzzles.
• Embrace change: View change as an opportunity for growth, rather than a threat to your stability. Practice adaptability and flexibility in the face of uncertainty.
Conclusion -
As we embark on this kinetic journey, we come to realize that motion is not just a physical phenomenon, but a metaphysical one as well. It is the underlying current that flows through every aspect of our being, guiding us toward growth, transformation, and self-discovery.
By embracing the principle of motion as a mantra, we can unlock the full potential of our kinetic selves, unleashing a maelstrom of creativity, resilience, and innovation into the world. So, let us move forward with courage, curiosity, and a deep reverence for the transformative power of motion.
I’m currently in motion and nothing is stopping me till I yield results. You know what ? Add “Soldier Girl” to the list of words I’m using as a mantra this year because I’m going to fight till the end. I’m adopting strength, edginess, authenticity, self reliance, I’m embracing change, I’m turning. Your perception of me that comes with this phase will get foggy and would have no element of depth of insight, that’s it for me.
Now ! What about you ?

Wizkid Is For People That Has Gone Through Life And Are Now On A Stable Plane
I was walking inside my old campus listening to "Time" by Wizkid and I've recently wanted to write something about him lately and I couldn't figure it out till now.
The Wizkid Wonder: Afrobeats' Golden Child
Wizkid, Wizkid, Wizkid – the name is synonymous with Afrobeats excellence. This Nigerian superstar has been making waves in the music industry since he was a teenager, and we can't get enough of him!
With his smooth vocals, slick dance moves, and bold fashion sense, Wizkid is the ultimate Afrobeats heartthrob. And let's not forget that iconic smile – it's enough to melt hearts!
But Wizkid's success isn't just about his charm (although, let's be real, it's a big part of it). He's a talented artist who has worked tirelessly to put Afrobeats on the global map. From collaborating with international artists like Drake and Beyoncé to selling out shows worldwide, Wizkid is the true embodiment of Afrobeats' global appeal.
Now, I know some of you might be thinking, "I miss the old Wizkid." And, honestly, I get it. His sound has evolved over the years, and it's natural to feel a sense of nostalgia for the Wizkid of old. But, here's the thing: change is constant, and Wizkid's sound has changed because he's in a different place in life.
You can't expect the same sound from the Wizkid who was hustling on the streets of Lagos as you would from the Wizkid who's now a global superstar. It's just not realistic. And, let's be real, if you're still expecting him to make the same kind of music he made 5-10 years ago, you might be stuck in the past.
That being said, I'm not here to judge. If you don't like Wizkid's new sound, that's okay. Music is subjective, and what resonates with one person might not resonate with another. But, what I will say is that Wizkid's new sound is not for everyone – and that's what makes it so special.
You have to be in a certain plane of life to understand and appreciate his new sound. It's like trying to explain a sunset to someone who's never seen one before. You can try to describe the colors, the feeling, the atmosphere, but until they experience it for themselves, they'll never truly get it.
Personally, I've found solace in Wizkid's recent album, particularly in songs like ["Time" or "Lose" or "Pray" ]. There's something about the soothing melodies and introspective lyrics that has helped calm the storm of emotions in my head. It's like Wizkid is speaking directly to my soul, reminding me to breathe, to relax, and to trust the process.
So, take it or leave it. Wizkid still makes good music, and if you're not feeling his new vibe, that's okay. But, for those of us who are on the same wavelength, we know that Wizkid's music is more than just a beat – it's an experience.
And, on a final note, I'm always ready to banter against Wizkid for entertainment purposes only. So, Starboy fans, don't come for me!
Quirky Facts:
1. Wizkid's real name is Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun, but we're pretty sure his stage name is more fitting for a superstar.
2. He's been making music since he was 11 years old! Talk about starting early.
3. Wizkid has collaborated with international artists like Drake, Beyoncé, and Kanye West. We're pretty sure he's the coolest kid on the block.
Signature Moves:
1. That iconic Wizkid smile – it's contagious!
2. His smooth, slick dance moves – who else can make Afrobeats look so effortless?
3. His bold fashion sense – Wizkid's style is always on point!
Long live the Wizkid Wonder!

The Stupid Friend, Allegedly
I have “friends” that I mostly reach out to when I have problems. Because they’re eligible to help me and usually like the capable ones. Unfortunately, I might not be able to bring value back to any one of them because I’m still in my building stage, broke stage and if I had it figured out, I wouldn’t need them to solve my problems.
That’s a different scenario.
Some people use me as a problem solving friend or problem solving manager or problem solving tool, I can’t even find the right term for it. My presence is only ever acknowledged when there is a certain kind of problem and I’m pushed to the side after it’s fixed. They have their glory days and I’m usually not part of it, then there are times when I need them and they’re not available. Even when its a task as subtle as liking a social media post.
Yet, they want me to be their 911 which I’ll eventually do. But the audacity to get pissed at me because I didn’t solve your problem ASAP, at your own timing is very irritable because I’ve got my problems and my family’s too ! And it’s not like you’ll do the same for me if I asked !
I do good because I’m trying to attract good to me too. When I’m good to someone, I don’t do it because I’m expecting something in return either but is it not stupid that I will drown myself in mud for you, you wouldn’t. Just because I wasted one minute before jumping into the muddy lake, you’re pissed, isn’t that stupid ?
