THINGS THAT MAKE STAYING AT HOME FUN

During the period of lockdown everyone was so stuck indoors. To some people it was fun, to others it was such a boring life staying home. Many people in Nigeria lost their jobs, people weren't paid, salaries were cut down and all of that. People were frustrated and didn't know how to survive staying home. So during this period, there were some things I felt that having them could make staying home fun and lively. 

1. HOBBY

Since the year I discovered blogging as a hobby, I write all day. Hobby is what makes humans human. I write for free. I write to relax, relief stress and anxiety. Blogging has helped me get to know myself better. So hobby is one of the things I don't joke with. No matter how busy I am, I make time for my writing. I invest my time in things that makes me happy.  I created a little space on the internet to make myself happy. Since writing is my hobby, I first write for myself before anyone else. I could be selfish though (laughs). Hobby makes life interesting. Every breathing human being should have a hobby or hobbies.

2. FARM

Yes! I mentioned it, FARM. Having a farm is one of those things I wished for. Having a farm and putting all your energies into it keeps you busy and less thinking. Farm is where you get fresh, raw and organic foods. It less the money you spend on buying food items at the market. So having one is a very good idea. Just as writing, farming too is therapeutic. Waking up early and looking after your plants, flowers and livestock gives a sense of purpose. With this you can't feel stuck at home.

3. ONLINE BUSINESS

I understand that business isn't for everyone, but having one will make staying home fun and income coming in. In this digital world, there are numerous online businesses you can try your hands on. But most online businesses started off from hobby. Just coming out everyday to write, having a sense of purpose and writing like a paid job. Check on the internet, there are a lot of online business you can start from just at the comfort of your home.

4. A HOME OFFICE

Working from home can make a lot of sense if people could take out a space from their apartment and make an office. Create a niche for themselves, talk about the subject matter they know so well, then begin something from there. Working from home is fun with an office and structure.

5. A SOCIAL MEDIA PAGE, BLOG OR WEBSITE

Working from home won't be fun without all these. Having a place where people see what you do, works you have done, your gift or skills bring clients and referrals to you. People can recommend you to someone through your social media pages, your blog or your website. You can get a job, make money, earn money through the digital world. This will start from somewhere. It won't happen overnight. It will take months and years, but you have to be patient.

6. REST, PLAY AND FUN

All work and no play makes Jane a dull girl. Make a space for play, fun and taking a break. Take a break when you feel burnout, stressed or tired.

7. PET

A dog, a cat and the rest makes home lively and fun. Get one for yourself. This is what makes staying home fun, you can add yours. I want to hear from you. This is not a monologue, you can share your ideas here too.

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
