DOES HAVING AN OFFICE JOB REALLY MATTER OVER FOLLOWING YOUR HANDCRAFT (personal dreams) ?



Last day of the month? 
Can't believe November is here already😱, this year is way too fast.. Looking back and I'm happy I achieved somethings most especially my first book, now looking up to God almighty to make next year more amazing for me. Amen.

I've always liked professional jobs to be honest.. I hardly see myself as a handiwork person though I'm a very fast learner when it comes to handiwork and I know a few of them also but I think the best thing I love to do is WRITING. 
It just brings joy to my heart, it's amazing that how much I write or chat with anyone, when you meet me in person I'm a little bit more reserved than I type lol .. I can express my self better through writing. I just find joy in writing anything I'm interested in. 

I've had people tell me, look for something else to do at least don't just have your degree for nothing.. Try to plan on working with it . Well, I don't see myself really working with my degree o, I see myself using my gift from God to bless people. 
This days many of us get degree not because we wanna use it but because saying you are a graduate says a lot about you as a person. School is very important so ild always advice people to focus on finishing school though you can chase your dreams by the side.
Let's think of it, how many office job these days can pay you the way you want? Especially in this Nigeria that if you don't have connections you are on your own. Like in another world. Even if you have some would be so stressed out due to office job, no time for family. I've had a friend tell me how her friend kept on having miscarriage because of her office job, she had to leave to build her family. If you can bake,cook,sing,act etc just any thing else you can do with your self just do it. These days following your handcraft would help many people to be honest. 

You can get to people through writing or speaking through many means. I'ld really love to own a Tv Station one day discussing about life basically and write stories for movies that would touch people not just sit at home and waste my writing gift through chat with friends only lol.
I believe whatever you know and think you can do, If you do it well, people would chase you. It might not come immediately but once God is ready for you, trust me it would be like you used JuJu. 
Personally in my field I look up to people like chimammanda Ngozi Adichie. That woman is amazing, all sorts. Nigerian artistes be trying to get Beyoncé on their song but hers was the other way around o. That's what I mean by when you know you can do something, do it very well so people would chase you and want more from you. Her "Americanah" is so relatable.. Even the purple hibiscus is so beautiful. I know she started from somewhere, she didn't just wake up one day to have billions of people reading her book and calling her name so I believe if you do what you are good at well, follow your dreams without letting any obstacle stop you, believe in God full time, do it well (the most important), one day.. It would pay off.

Thank you for reading, God bless you and yours!

Finally! - Am A Writer & Author

i came back from school (America) December 2014 hoping to go back as soon as possible but my dad had another plan for me. He wanted me to transfer schools. Different things happened. I had the longest holiday from school in 2015, it wasn't easy for me too many things happened at once but then God doesn't just delay you for no reason, this particular holiday am talking about Birthed "ONCE UPON A TIME"..  I was bored, nothing to do, then I picked up my laptop and started typing. I am grateful to God for making this my dream a reality. From the onset my dad supported me and my mum was my backbone, my siblings would read the story over and over again and say "Sister Damilola you tried".. I never knew I would write a book but I always knew I loved to write, and I had intention of writing scripts and probably sell or give out but i never knew I would do this, right now i have about 3 short stories i have written almost like once upon a time. i had a tough...

Appreciate Yourself !!! - (My random experience)

I am someone that complains so much mostly about myself, i act like am very strong but not really, some times i still wish for some unbelievable things. my hair is the hardest part of my body. it becomes so tiring at times when i try to comb it and its stupidly hard, if i relax/perm it, it only last soft for like 2-3 days, i cant pack it and it wouldnt puff out, if i put cream like this,it shinessss so much more than normal. i look at my friends and wish to have their soft hair. my hair is very long (well - boarding house) cut everything, very full and super Black! when hair dressers are making my hair they say its like attachment lol, when i was in high school, the hair dresser would collect more for my hair than others, if i make corn-row/weaving to school, in 3 days everything has removed, the under growth would be coming out,it would just be so rough. The same with the hair on my body. My legs/arms ... they grow so fast, i have so shave like every month or 2-3 weeks...

Human beings are different!

The break down of  "Accepting people for who they are".. It's a vice versa thing! Happy December everyone!!! A few more days to new year, God has been amazing this year. Next year would be better IJN.  A little over 20 years of my life, I've learnt that one of the hardest thing to do is "Accepting people for who they are" ..  I've lived with people and I've had different types of friends and many times adjusting to someone's lifestyle would just be hard for you because you either love them but can't cope with their lifestyle or you love them and don't wanna lose them.  I have many people around that just piss me off daily because of how they behave but would I send everyone away? No. You have to help somepeople change too. I've learnt in a very hard way to accept people for who they are but that's only when they accept me for who I am too and that means you wouldn't do things I don't like and I wouldn't ...
