Superb as usual!!!. Barakallahu feeka. A nice breakaway from books at 4:00am (have exams tomorrow in sha Allah 😭 and mehn I am stressed!) The extras are great too, but I'm perplexed as to why Jeff's name has Akinyemi in the middle 😂😂 (don't explain, I perfectly understand).
Pigeonholing might really be a matter of perspective after all. It's okay to have your own unique impressions, and to leave them on the things that you create. I don't think that precludes versatility in any way, and I don't think that it's something to be scared of. If someone told me that they read something and they thought it was from me because it was written in 'my style', it'd have me beaming, but then again, we're all different. However, regardless of our differences, I think you can be so many things, and still be YOU at the core. I don't know if you get me.
Take Nora Roberts for instance, I've read her so much that I can tell when I'm reading say excerpts from books she hasn't even published yet and know that it's from her, without seeing her name anywhere on the excerpts. And the fact that I'm familiar with her style doesn't make the book any less intriguing or interesting. Or that popular Amala joint that people keep going back to for the taste. It's the same taste all the time, and that's their signature, but it's exactly what people love about them.
I'm not opposed to changing or flexibility or exploring at all, but I'm saying it's okay to carry your uniqueness wherever. Capisce?
Wow, thank you. I know I'm all of that, but you didn't have to list it out in the public. Sometimes, I like to wear a humble hat sometimes. Kò dá kí èyàn ma proud, yunno.
Words of affirmation in my opinion appears to be powerful. For too long, I have thought of them as mere cliché remarks as with the reactions towards motivational speeches.
Reinforcing that we can be more while actively pursuing channels to be better is really empowering.
Like the end of what you wrote "...and at the very least, you always try" is gold only if we know that. Many ideas never made it to execution because they were not tried out.
I can quite relate with how Femi felt. When I got my internship fresh from school, I was quite excited to be paid my salary, which was three times my usual pocket money. Of course, I felt well paid. Until many months later, the company employed some graduate trainees (these ones have finished nysc, I was still doing mine), I even trained some of these guys, but they earned far more than me. Worse still, they finished their trainee program, got employed as full staff, but I'm still doing internship simply because I've not finished NYSC, and they are now paid more than double my salary. I've been feeling totally shite cos mahn... It's really not fair 😪
...and at the very least, you always try. Snap rolls.
Thanks my brother :)
