LOVE: The Narrative

So, I didn't write this (chuckles).
It was written by a final year medical student- somebody will now tell me medical students have no life outside their books (*yinmu*).
Enjoy this beautiful narrative.

When you love what you can’t have!

Oh let us be clear, loving who you can’t have!

You stay awake all night thinking about her

It causes you pain but you still love her

You go about in the day carrying the burden

Here you go…she smiles back at you

Your day is beautifully made.

You wish she sees things the way you do

You wish she feel things the way you do

At some point, you tell yourself ‘she does’

But only get more pain b’cos you are uncertain

Then, you hope and pray the feeling passes

You even try to block  thoughts of her

Alas, days have gone, months have passed, years have elapsed

She is ‘the’ what makes the order of your emotions, thoughts and feelings

The one fear you have most!!!

She never gets to know how exactly you feel

Then you live most of your days unhappy,

You'd probably die carrying a burden to the grave

No!

So you finally summoned courage

To go utter your mind to her.

You got to the door- you couldn’t knock

Alright, let’s do this…

You knocked and you are welcomed in

Now, your tongue is stuck to the roof

Then you smile- finally you speak

Just came to say hi

Oh! Oh! Oh!

I think I’m gonna be out of my mind

I’m just gonna say it

Yeah! You did…

And finally you found out, the feeling is mutual

She also loved what she could not have

But why?

Its all procedural.

WANNABE INTERN

Week 2 Message to the Pre-Intern: don’t lose hope! Week 2, for me, was 2 months post-induction. This was when the wait began to sink in. You mean I’ve been home for two whole months? By now, I was literally chewing on my fingernails. Don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t scared of getting a space, but I certainly wasn’t confident about any place anymore. That is when I began to write this book. Today is the 12th of September and I sit at the dining table in my parents’ house, typing at 11:27pm (because well, I have an editing job to finish up, but mostly because I don’t have to go anywhere tomorrow morning). If I don’t want to, I don’t even have to take a bath tomorrow morning because well, I can stay indoors all day! (I most likely will stay indoors, except for those few minutes when I step out to buy hot akara for my akamu). I am spent. You know, I have applied to a couple of places now. Let me start with the first: LS Health Service Commission At the State Health servic...

RESOURCEFULNESS

We all have about 6 needs, which we have to uncover, not necessarily create: ·          CERTAINTY ·          UNCERTAINTY ·          SIGNIFICANCE ·          CONNECTION & LOVE ·          GROWTH ·          CONTRIBUTION, WHICH IS BEYOND OURSELVES The first 4 needs don’t necessarily bring about fulfillment but the last two do. You can have all the comfort/certainty in the world and still remain unfulfilled. You could even switch over to variety i.e. uncertainty-yes, you’ld get adrenaline pumping through your veins, but it’ld be temporary. Significance? We all try to find significance, be it through achievements or by gaining recognition as one thing or the other. Connection is a beautiful thing and love is very accepting, irrespectiv...

Lateral Thinking with FEMI OLADELE

Blessed trinity; how many times and in how many ways? How convenient it is for me to try to estimate the virtues that the presence of GOD exudes; in ignorance obviously. Can you imagine the power of HIS might? And HE took me through a journey of understanding and I failed HIS test, because my human ability is frail and fails. Only a supernatural understanding of GOD as the three-in-one GOD appearing as: Our help in ages past; Our hope for years to come; and Our very present help in time of need. If you therefore need help, fetch from the fullness thereof; it is inexhaustible yet with a price. Many misconstrue the gifts of GOD as free; I presume, it is cheap and affordable but not free. The difference between HIM and his arch rival is that the latter charges high interests like Deposit Money Banks (DMBs) in Nigeria. GOD pays premium however; if you have to choose; choose LIFE and BLESSING. It is not without challenges that this life we live, that I live, actually.
