What's the direction of your life? What big or small decisions have you made?

I've never been one to make quick decisions. Growing up, I never thought much about being an adult. I enjoyed where I was and how people around me took charge of my life and took care of me completely. My ‘inability’ to make quick decisions; big or small never occurred to me until some few years back. That is to say, I actually didn't think it was a problem.
I saw this photo 👆 and it brought back the thought of a really significant and life-changing decision I made or didn't make. You'll find out...
   Right to choosing what to eat or drink, what to wear, whether to go out or not, whether I want/ed to change seats or not, I never really make an instant choice and stick to it. The only thing I have always been sure of is having ribbons on my hair no matter the hairstyle. Lol
Now to the main purpose of this article.
   Leaving secondary school was one of my sweetest experiences. I always wanted to be big enough to be in the university and wear fancy clothes and heels to class and own a big phone. Thinking back, it seemed all my mates back then knew the universities they fancied and wanted to attend. I'd heard about ABU Zaria and Benue State University because I knew children of close family friends already attending. 
   I always had three different occupations or more in mind. I remember first wanting to be a nurse and then as I advanced, a newscaster, a nutritionist, a caterer, a linguist and then a LAWYER! Up until my final year in secondary school, I hadn't made up my mind but I finally decided on being a lawyer because everybody agreed it'll ‘fit me’. 
Fast forward to when I got admission and accepted Mass Communication instead of Law... I began my Mass Communication journey in 100 level with an open mind and all the talk about being a victim of the university changing courses didn't really bother me.
   Mass Communication is my call (I see you nodding or probably screaming ‘yes’). It's the big side of me. I've always loved to read, cast news and speak publicly, but I wasn't invested enough to find out if there was a course for that. Let me not emphasise on how nonchalant I've been with my life 😅. 
My life is forever a testimony. Every chance I get, I celebrate God's divine direction. There's really no way to put it in words for you to understand but at every step of my big indecision, I silently ask the Lord to help me and He always does.

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?   ...

MY CAMP SERIES: EPISODE 2 (Wise kind man)

Does it really pay to be patient? Or do we just have to be smart enough to know when to abide by the saying?     As the popular saying goes, “the patient dog eats the fattest bone“. Although nowadays when someone quotes it, another person replies, “patient dog don get ulcer” and everyone begins to laugh. Fetching water this afternoon during our free time before lunch, we had a long line of buckets with people waiting to get water to take their baths, wash their clothes, e.t.c,. Sitting with my first camp friend, we discussed a lot of things in a bid to pass time before our turn. Everybody's been so kind to everybody here, as if we're all eager to make new friends. Anyways, this other pretty girl comes with her buckets and expresses shock as she sees the number of people already waiting. Following the chatty trend, people begin to laugh and give her unnecessary/witty advice. One gist leads to the another and she joins the conversation with I and my friend. Somehow during t...
