For the broken hearted

 


I hope that the world is kind enough to you

I hope that on days when you don’t feel like it, you would be comforted with these words

I hope you find strength to carry on, on days when your physical strength may fail you

I hope you are able to pick yourself up and start again


I really wish that you are able to focus on things ahead, not things in the present 

You are able to forgive yourself and move past guilt’s never ending pangs 

I wish gilead’s balm soothes the throbbing pain you feel in your chest

And also gives you a hope and a new beginning 


I desire for you to be the best you can ever dream of becoming

Having that fierce and resilient spirit to forge ahead no matter what life throws at you

To achieve all you can despite all odds and uncertainties 

I really hope you can listen to these words


On days when you don’t feel like it, may you find helpers to uplift your spirit 

Let it be known that you are never alone, neither would you walk alone

Even in your weakness, El-roi’s strength is made sufficient for you

As you try to pick up the broken pieces of your life


You will soar just like the eagle

After all, the sky is just your starting point 

You will pick yourself up from the sand of time

And progress into the realities right ahead of you


On days when you start to feel down

Let these words echo in your inner man 

For they are strength for those who find it

And life for those who keep it

NAIJA TO YANKEE

  NAIJA TO YANKEE On May 31st, I left my seemingly perfect life in Nigeria for greener pastures abroad. This was one of the hardest decisions I have ever had to make in my whole life. I am naturally a very indecisive person, so making this kind of life altering decision for me was the last straw that broke my camel's back. "Tami please stop crying now, I promise you'll be fine" my friend said to me as i broke down in tears at the airport. Nothing he said to me or tried to do made me feel any better than i already felt. I didn't see any need to leave the country that had become my home over the years to go and start building all over again in another man's country. But that is the beauty of what's ahead. You get to rewrite your story all over again and erect structures out of nothing. I cried till there were no tears left to cry. I cried till my eyes hurt and didn't have the strength to continue. I had lived in denial all along till the day i was to go ...

How would I seamlessly transition into office work? Me wey no get any single work experience. Would my colleagues at work like me? I wasn’t about to deal with any office drama with anybody o Work resumed on Monday. I was introduced to my boss alongside two other girls who were go...
