It’s 23rd again!
I remember this day last year, we invited friends to sip and paint beautiful things whilst we celebrated your birthday. It’s gone so fast haha.
Every time I have had to reflect on our journey and how we mad it here — I’m left feeling grateful to have you in my corner.
I remember asking for your pen and throwing a dry compliment of how beautiful the pen is (even though it was a beautiful and dramatic pen). Our short walks from church to the ATM and eventual Sunday brunch (fried eggs with sausage and shots of shocky lol).
We created experiences that will last a lifetime and made every moment worth it. For once, I had someone to motivate me to become better… and want to do more than I would ideally think of myself.
Thank you Adunnimi — Having you in my corner and in my life has been sweet.. an experience I pray to God I don’t want to end and I will do anything in my capacity to ensure.
You’re a GOOD HUMAN BEING.
You are kind
You are soft and sweet
You are different from anything
I hate to see you cry and hurt because selfishly, it makes me see myself as a bad person — one I don’t want to be.
I miss you when you are not around and when you are not smiling. I love to see those 2 incisors.
You are my favourite human, my secret keeper and my angel. I love you so much.
It’s a new year, we are starting this in a new city and I hope the next is also a new city and the next 100 — if Jesus tarries.
I love you so much and I am proud and grateful to be your husband.
I look forward to a long life of prosperity and service to God and humanity with you. Thanks for being my co-pilot.
Have a good birthday my love.
Chess is a game I wish I dedicated more time to learning beyond the rudiments of movement which I learned from the free version of chess pro on my first desktop computer. On the other hand, I spent some time playing draughts aka checkers with my friends after exams in secondary school. Seun (who we popularly called Àgbè) was the best player in school and would beat us in rounds. Haha 😂. One of those afternoons, it felt like I was going to win, I had 2 kings and a 2 other tiles while he had 3 tiles and a king. For a moment, I excitedly boasted about winning and reveled in the idea of winning him for the first time. Guess what? I lost 😡. One of the many lessons I learned from playing draughts was the willingness to concede a tile or even my king (in some cases) so that I can ultimately win the game. This lesson stuck and today, it’s one that I use in my dealings with people especially when meeting new people. For someone with some level of social anxiet...
