Bauchi was brief and wonderful

 Dear Diary,

5:50pm Nigerian Time 🇳🇬

March, my month. On the first day of March, I left Bauchi State for Abuja. I slept over at a hotel in Abuja. My very first time of spending the night at a hotel. Just me in the room, lonely and afraid. I was scared of many things. The things I hear happen in Nigerian hotel rooms. I actually booked a flight, but my flight was postponed so I had to take road transportation. Bauchi to Abuja took a period of six hours. From Bauchi, to Jos, to kaduna, to Nassawara and then to Abuja. The next day I took road transportation from Abuja to Calabar which took a period of eleven hours. I felt so uncomfortable with the many bad roads at the various state during the journey. So hectic. I reached my home on the second day of March around 9:50pm in the evening. I had my bath, then ate thereafter.

During my stay in Bauchi, I was fortunate to meet wonderful set of individuals who served as a family. It was a wonderful experience, though I lost some of my colleagues to motor accident and sicknesses. I went, I served, I got my certificate, I left for home. It was a brief stay in Bauchi due to COVID-19.

BE INTENTIONAL

Image
 I say this again and again. Be intentional about anything you want in life. Be intentional about your journey, your dreams, your wants and your healing. Along my healing journey, I discovered the power of intentions. Say what you want and stick to it. Do what you want to do and stick to it. Be consistent at it. Choose what makes you happy and that which fulfills you. Don't chose anything for yourself because a friend said so, your parents said so or everyone said so. Do things with intention. Have a purpose and the reason you do the things you do. Focus! Always focus. There are a whole lot of distractions out there that can make you stumble if you are not focused. Be intentional about your healing. Personally, I had to say no to dating and marriage until I healed completely. I don't want to repeat the mistakes I saw my mother or any other woman did. I want peace and calmness. This is why I take my education seriously and dedicate years to building up myself. I can't imagin...

Everyday Gratitude

Image
 Today I am grateful for life. I am grateful for good health. I am grateful for peace. Just being happy without anything being responsible for it. I am grateful for all the things I have in my life. I am grateful for my friends and the good people I have around me. I am grateful for love. I haven't found one yet but I am grateful. I am grateful for slow living. Waking up everyday, not rushing over anything and just living. So far, the feeling is wonderful. And I learned to trust God through the frustrations, obstacles, fears, tears and rejections. In my life I have seen the power of God. This is why I keep myself for Him and stay faithful to Him. No matter who I turn out to be, I will be grateful to God. I have gone through a lot already but each day, I thank God that those obstacles, bitterness and frustrations never took my life. I kept living. So everyday I live, breathe and see a new day, I give God praises.  Elizabeth Diaries ❤️
