Have you ever felt like a fraud, like you were living a lie, like you weren’t worthy of your position, salary or degree? Like you shouldn’t be the one receiving all the accolades because you don’t deserve it? Well, my friend you may have imposter syndrome.
Since I came out of the compulsory fourteen days quarantine period for recent travellers, I've been going for walks around my neighbourhood instead of driving all the way to the Lekki/Ikoyi bridge. I still get my 5km in but I've been unable to take a walk alone in peace.
Remote working is not a new work arrangement and as much as working from home was already being implemented by most forward-thinking companies abroad, a lot of companies in Nigeria preferred the conventional way of working.
I was excited about getting time off work and spending quality time with my little sister and my friends. However, as the commencement of my trip got closer, I became worried. We only had one case of covid-19 in Nigeria but the cases around the world kept increasing every day.

Money is a necessity of life; everyone wants and needs money to survive. We thirst for more money even when we have some because no one can ever have enough money. I mean, this is money we're talking about here. This is why the richest man in the world has not stopped trying to make money.
How are you? This is the most asked question in the world and more often than not, our answer is always a lie. My answer to every “how are you” question is a default “I’m good” because I know most people don’t expect otherwise.
Thinking back now,
I guess I never should have let you go
I never should have said those words

Niagara Falls is a Canadian city in Ontario at the famous waterfalls of the same name, linked with the U.S. by the Rainbow Bridge. It is a popular tourist destination in Canada and I had the pleasure of visiting this city and the falls with my family in March.
Don’t forget me simply because our story has ended

When you look in the mirror while brushing your teeth
If you’re in paid employment, you most likely have a boss you report to. Every organization has a line of hierarchy; you may join a company as an intern but become a manager one day.
We want so many things.
Every day we wake up, there’s an addition to the list of the things we want and desire. Our wants always surpass our needs and we can’t help it because that’s just the way we are wired.
Be a woman who is tough but also kind
Be a woman who is strong, brave and fierce
Be a woman who embraces the pace of her journey
It’s been four days
And I’ve gotten no sleep
My eyes itch
I want to be honest
open and transparent
to bear my soul
