APPRECIATION POST: Award-winning blogger (university level)

 Dear friends, this post is long overdue, I'm sorry. 

We did this together. Yes, you and I. You who's always clicking my links, leaving comments, and giving private encouragements. I'll never have believed that I'll be doing a post about an award.

Yes, I'm an extra person. I celebrate 2k alerts like I've won the lottery, my voice is extra high on the phone and in gatherings with people I know. Though I've never been shy on the outside but taking photos during events, knowing that people are staring and wondering what I'm doing is not an easy task. I've only kept on because everytime I post a new link, the views are higher than the previous ones. Thank you!

Thank you to my mummy, my greatest support; always ready to hear how tired I am from my day. Though she never actually told me to begin a blog, her constant ‘ start something Sewuese, no matter how small’ led me to this place.

To my daddy, for all the emergency data subscriptions, airtime and credit alerts on days when I'm dry and almost giving up. For letting me know in so many ways that I can always rely on you. 

To my only legitimate big sister, Terdoo (Tee) who also does daddy responsibilities when I feel like I've disturbed daddy too much; money and airtime. You go out of your way to make sure that you give when I BEG and you're always never tired of hyping me.

To my little sisters; Seember, Agie, Mimi, for believing that I am more than I think. To my 9 years old Mimi for unconditional love and constant high-pitched congratulations.

To my department; for giving me this opportunity, for accepting my disturbances with camera clicks, allowing me share links and so on. For also recognizing my efforts and blessing me with the award for the ‘best student blogger’ for 2019/2020 session.

I do all that I do, the extra efforts, for FAMILY. That is, all of you. Those who've adopted me into their lives, those who make it a point of duty to check on me, even those in the background who have not found the proper words/ways to express their love for/to me. Thank you, you spur me to keep on. 

God comes first...even though He's last on this list, He's the Almighty and wherever He is placed, He forever sits mighty no matter what. Thank you God for the gift of family, extra family, friends and passers-by. Thank you for DASHing me persistence, for that silent voice in my head always giving me hope.

Love ❤️ and light💡

 New blog post: teeny facts ‘or not’ about this writer. Heyyy, long time no see. How are you holding up? I have to say the cold in this place is turning me to a jelly in a jar. Okay, hollup, seems like I’m deviating. Lol, guess that’s one fact or not about me…I love to talk. Let’s move to the basics. Maybe you’re wondering why I had to do this. I know, it’s not like I’m one celebrity or something but I’m your favourite writer (yeah, I heard you say so). Who knows, I may be one in two years from now or less cos why do I have you? Push me push me so I can have lots of money for giveaways 🙃 My name is Naze Salome Sewuese. Other names are Kristin, and of course, baby 😅. I’m a female woman (have to be real specific there). I come from a family of seven. My dad is an auditor and my mum is a teacher and a caterer and they both run a poultry house. I’m the second out of five girls. There’s Tee, myself, Seember, Nguamo and Mimi. I have my primary and secondary certificates fro...

A Year of Service, A Lifetime of Lessons

Service, friendship, growth They say life is in stages- I agree. But if I hadn’t passed through the challenges that came with NYSC and made it to this point, I’d probably still be in comatose, asking God “Why me?” Before graduation, my friends; Lucy, Kyen, Melody, and I, discussed where we’d love to be posted for service. We’d done the entire four (technically six) years of university together, so it only made sense to plan to do life after school together, or at least close enough. We compared dreams, and they basically aligned. Little did we know. You know, when you’re in a particular stage of life and preparing for its end, the only logical thing to do is to dream of better, to stay optimistic, because faith, among other things, teaches us to believe that there’s always better ahead. Camp was the experience. I’d attended boarding school and even gone to camp as a junior cadet back in secondary school. I remember an endurance trek we went on one morning that nearly rendered my legs i...

Dare to dream- you are more than the figure you see in the mirror.

In one episode of Young Sheldon, Sheldon asked the librarian what her religion was because he was learning about different religions in order to find the one he liked better. She said her religion teaches that when people die they go their own planets but women have to go to their husband's planet, except her because she's single.    In all 23 years of my life, I have battled with people's different beliefs in relation to love, respect and ambitions. It's been a tough and conflicting battle on what to belief as right or not. I have made my own assumptions and research based on what I've been taught intentionally and I believe at this point, I have the right standing.     The argument about God's intention when he took a rib out of man to create woman is one that can put one's brain in a turmoil. Did God mean for a woman to only be a helpmate and not have her own identity? Did he instruct Adam to be fruitful, multiply and subdue the earth by himself?   ...
