5 Reasons Why I Am Glad Game Of Thrones Series Is Over


Game of Thrones came to a halt on May 19th 2019 and it has been quite tortuous since then. 

My brother recommended the Game of Thrones series to me. Prior to his recommendation, I was getting sick and tired of people speaking in a high tone with a face filled with disbelief "Are you serious? You do not know what you are missing". So, I binge-watched the game of thrones series up until season seven and joined others in wait for the final season.

During my wait for the final season of the series, I also got on my high horse and looked down on those who had never seen a single episode of the series because I had fallen deeply in love with the series.



Well, I am glad it is over because;

 GOT Trapped In Time  –  I might be going about my days business but in actual fact, I was in a different time. I saw cars and motorcycles as horses with carts. I saw electricity as a nuisance and wanted to light a candle instead. My phone to me was a raven. And I had a dragon I could hop on.



 GOT Into Character; I was constantly in character. Talked differently, my poise everything changed. In my little head, I could engage in sword fights too like Brienne of Tarth, Arya Stark. Some other days I was a ladylike Cersei Lannister, Sansa Stark.
On this note, I will hail the creator of Game of Thrones for this wonderful masterpiece that kept a full display of female power all through the series.

 GOT In My Feelings; A lot of deaths! I just could not take it. At times I wept like a baby. They were no longer characters to me they were real persons. Yes, I know! It's crazy.
And all the overwhelming plot twists kept me at the edge of my seat.


 GOT A Smart Mouth; If you did not notice the constant taunts between the characters you were obviously not paying attention. I learnt a lot 😁.


GOT Crush; Whenever  Jon snow’s face comes on my screen, I do not care I am grinning hard.  Let's not get started on his voice. I planned a wedding in my head with Jon Snow but he went with his pretty lady so we are divorced now.
Is it weird that I named my duvet Jon Snow?
Nah! Not weird at all.



It hurts but I am glad I got to experience it all. And I am back to reality. I now realise that I am not some lady with some fancy titles. And most importantly I could not make my problems go away by simply saying “dracarys”.

The Forever Enthusiast; My first blog post 2019

Woke up this morning to my mom singing Dj Khaled's "Wild thoughts" in the bathroom. Not only was it hilarious, it somehow became my motivation to write my first blog post. For a long time, I pushed the idea of having my own blog because of a whole lot of irrelevant excuses. Today, I choose to emulate my "wild thoughts" bathroom singing mother for the rest of 2019. Today I choose to be an enthusiast! My mother is a far cry away from being a good singer but, she sings anyway not minding what anyone might say. A lady willing to learn new things like the latest dance moves. She also never fails to speak the truth. She is one who is never afraid to ask questions and understands that for a problem there is definitely a solution. My mom has the spirit of a hustler which makes her "the forever enthusiast. With this, I say welcome to my blog! And do stick around.

2019 Was A Trip

Before the fireworks go off and cry for joy fill the air signalling the beginning of a new year and a new decade, I decided to pen down my resolutions for the year ahead. However, before I write my resolution I decided to tell everyone about my friendship with the year 2019.  Although it took the entire 365 days for me to recognize the impact the year had on me, I am glad I do now. 2019 charged at me like a beast and I was unprepared to defend myself. I tried my usual ignore it until it goes away tactic but  2019 came stronger. I was smoked out of my hole and I came running out whining and complaining about how unfair the year was treating me. 2019 shook me so hard until I was fully awake. This way I was reminded that I am awesome.  I was allowed to cry, breakdown, hold my breath, be filled with uncertainty as long as I kept moving. Looking back at those days of lessons I am grateful that I journeyed with 2019.  I was always out of my comfort zone to the point that i...

The People

I know a place filled with a carefree lot. The citizens love living life fast and on the edge. Lord knows how hard they dance on the edge despite knowing that the rock might tilt and they end up at the bottom of the hill. Another thing these people love besides living fast and loud is Hope. One would not blame them because hope seemed to be the only constant thing in their lives. Hope was always there. They could be in a vehicle that is about to explode and their general thought would be;  I know this vehicle is about to go up in flames and we will all die but I, however, HOPE!! it does not happen before I get to my destination.  They make all sorts of wild decisions;   Let us build our houses close to oil fields. And in times of an explosion, we grieve and continue living there anyway.  What happens when a pandemic occurs? They fold their arms and hope somehow it will just go away.  And with a government that does not put the ci...
