MY 18TH BIRTHDAY/WHAT HAPPENED IN OCTOBER?

My birthday/What happened in October?

Oh my God! Its been a minute, team.

I want to first of all pray with you.
Dear lord,
Thank you for everything. You have been the pillar of my life, you have been the best of the best. You have been so good to me even when I didn't deserve it. May your name be glorified and exalted forevermore,Amen.

Hey, I hope you are okay?
I hope you are smiling today.
I hope you are grateful for today.

I have not written in a long time, and I can say it was my fault. I actually wasn't ready to write or should I say, I didn't have inspiration whatsover. My writing partner literally shouted at me for not keeping a promise, and i guess I was wrong for not being consistent.

Now, let's talk About my birthday.

25th october 2020.

----------
BASE
I was scared. I was scared because I felt a little bit older. When I mean 'a little bit older', i mean I already know I have lots things to achieve before a specific age.
I am sure most of you would be confused why I said 'a little bit older and not just older', I said that because I have been the woman I always 'wanted' to be but right now, I am gradually becoming the woman I 'need' to be.

-------------
DETAILS.
The first person to wish me a happy birthday was my cousin who was sitting right beside me with a clock in her hand.
PS- Before that, my friend(Vanessa Nwodo) called me by 10pm to wish me a happy birthday because she said she was going to sleep off before 12am. Then, i was on a call with someone else(Naomi Kadiri) and she wanted to be the first too, but my phone accidentally shut down and came up Immediately after.
Anyways, I was screaming. I was so happy. 
I received birthday wishes and calls from different people. It made feel absolutely good, special and blessed.  I was so surprised because most of the people that wished me a happy birthday were not saved of my contact, which made me super excited and surprised.

I received lots of gifts from people too.

Actually, I didn't plan anything for my birthday. I can't say I wasn't expecting anything, I was because I always expect things on my birthday but to be honest, it reached a point I didn't care anymore. I just wanted to be happy that day and be with my friends.

My boyfriend surprised me and bought me gifts upon gifts.
My friends surprised me also which made the day even more better.

There is this kind of love you feel when you are around people that put you as a priority and are ready to be there for you.

My birthday wasn't just a day I could sit around. The joy was overwhelming.

Now, let me explain to you how my October Was.

What happened in October?
This was a month I guess I was looking forward too, maybe because it was my birthday month or because I felt it would be better than My September.

A lot things happened. The End Sars protest and the lekki massacre scared me to death. I was sad. I will wake up, pray and see the news. Every night I slept, I always had bad dreams because of how scary it was. It was like it was happening to me when it wasn't. I always prayed before i slept for a "brand new good day".
I think the worst thing that happened was when the news about the "palliatives" came out. How can a government keep/hide such amount of food from citizens that don't even have?
The only thing I wish for the Nigeria is change and peace.
May God grant our heart desires.

This month made me stronger too, even regardless the things that happened in Nigeria, I realized that no matter what, always put God first in everything you do and stay positive.

I Pray as you enter this month, may your name be called in a room filled with good opportunities.
May you be alive to see more years. May your life be a testimony. May God grant all your heart desires.

Cheers to a new month in 2020.
