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.

Curiosity

 Here is a thought! Why do Nigerians love answers especially when bad things happen?  In the olden days, prior to the colonial masters and even after the colonial masters came to Africa, our forefathers practised divination, poured a libation to the ancestors and tried to find out why certain predicaments befell the people.  They got answers quite alright. With the witches taking the bulk of the blame or it was the god’s way of helping them find their way back and rethink their decisions.  When the people left the way of their fathers after much persuasion from the foreigners. How did the foreigners do this? By demonising the way the people worshipped.   So the people accepted the new religion but it did not stop their curiosity. It only doubled the need for answers. Churches sprang up in all corners.  The advertisement employed by these churches pointed to solutions in a bid to attract the people. So you read Marine ...

Why The Thought Of Grooming My Natural Hair Scares Me

  These past months I have been in a dilemma on what to do with my hair. I can't put an age to the first time I relaxed my hair but I have been doing it ever since then. When the wave of embracing the natural state of your hair came, I paid no mind to it. I just felt let's continue doing what we were doing before no need to change.   Recently, my sister resolved to go natural.  I had mixed reactions hearing this. I too had not relaxed my hair in months but I was planning to. But the thought of going natural was both appealing and scary. I watched a bunch of videos and decided to join the texlaxed hair group. But an inkling pointed out that I was not being honest with myself. I like the thought of going natural but! I have this irrational fear that the hair would turn out ugly or I will look unkempt wearing my hair in its natural state.  This irrational fear spans from years of observing and being told that the best hair care is having your hair permed and people...
