Of confidence, hope, happiness and joy


Dear Diary,

Sometimes this red lipstick gives me confidence, hope, happiness and joy. Today is not a good day as I have been made sad by the attitude of humans. Now, I see why people relocate to known places during their National Youth Service Corp... the attitude of humans. My first time in Bauchi, I have been made to believe by my Landlady that Hausa people are troublesome people. Looking for problem where there is none. Their women and children lack manners too. Their men are a bit polite. If I had known that this would happen, I would have relocated to a known area. Gossip, lack of boundaries, hate, envy is not good for my mental health. I can't stay long in such places. I hope I get to see a good area. I hope I get to see something different from this. No matter how friendly I am, I maintain my boundaries. Through it all, I will remain grateful to my mother for her care, love and attention. She has been calling me everyday to know how I am faring. After I told her this, she said I should start looking for an accommodation, a safe place. In my life I hate trouble and I do everything possible to protect my peace of mind. Amidst the toxic behaviours, I made a new hair, called Hausa weaving. After church service, around 2:00pm yesterday I went to make my hair in a local salon. A mat was placed on the floor, I sat down facing her directly. She tightly weaved my hair without pains. I love the hairstyle, I will be carrying it for a week or two.

BY LOVING YOURSELF, YOU LOVE OTHERS

So it's been four months since I started working in a school in Calabar that has forty years of existence. A really old school whose facilities need maintenance. Chairs damaged, laboratory decay and everything in there looks so old. Then I wondered, what am I doing here? And I realized that I needed experience. I wanted to leave home so long as it is for learning. I learned. I saw how mismanagement can cause serious damage to a school. I saw how not treating teachers well or paying them on time could be a danger to school business. Especially changing teachers every time in school or teachers leaving a school due to ill treatment.  By loving yourself, you love others. When you love yourself, it becomes so easy to love others. It becomes easy to love your staff and pay them on time. It becomes so easy to treat people well. Elizabeth Diaries ❤️

Dear Diary, I come with so much to tell. I will tell you everything as I am your faithful girlfriend. Growing up, I had trust issues. I barely trusted my parents, so I couldn't trust anyone. I grew up to see the mess my father's bad friends and company brought us into. My father had many frienemies, not friends. They laughed, smiled, ate with him, squandered his money, but said badly of him at his absence. His friends never loved him, he was only used. His frienemies made decisions for him in his own home. My father never took my mother's advice. He said my mother was an illiterate. So, he clinged to his friends. He wasted half of his wealth on his friends and their dubious lives. My father's weakness was trusting people so much and giving his whole life to them. He never loved us, he gave all his love to strangers and neglected his family. They used him, they blackmailed him, they abused him, they messed him up. We as his family were part of the whole mess. This wa
