THE D.E.V.I.L MADE ME DO IT

By JAK - August 31, 2021
Tomorrow is 1st September and I am so proud of how far I have grown this past week. I am grateful for the month of August, it was indeed a good month. My day began on a very good note. I listened to a message titled “The Devil Made Me Do It”. The title reminds me of The Conjuring 3 (If I haven’t...

LOST

By JAK - August 30, 2021
 The pressure is unreal guys. It is different for each one of us.BUTJust sitting and imagining that where you are is where you might always be if you do not stand up and start living can be quite overwhelming. I watched a Netflix documentary about The Wisdom of Trauma a while back and I realized a lot of us are not even living. We...

THE CIRCLE

By JAK - August 28, 2021
I found out a while back that a bunch of lines is actually what forms a circle. When I say a bunch of lines I mean look at the circle from the perspective of small dotted lines coming together. I think I might be saying rubbish.   I don’t think I can explain as explicitly sha. I will just show you.   My...

IT HAS BEEN GOD ALL THE WAY

By JAK - August 28, 2021
 If you meet me personally, the most important things I hope you take home with you are:   FIRST, I AM COMPLETELY UNAPOLOGETIC ABOUT HOW MUCH I LOVE GOD and SECOND, I AM NOT PERFECT   The best thing to have ever happened to me was coming in contact with my relationship with God. The one and only true God. I often imagine what...

FEELING - LADIPOE FT. BUJU

By JAK - August 26, 2021
 This song is a hit and I love it. But more than that I like the way I am feeling now. I have been on this writing challenge thing for about 6 days now and I must say, I am very proud of myself and how consistent I have been. My favorite part of the challenge has been trying to come up with concrete...

COME AND GO

By JAK - August 25, 2021
The biggest win for me at 22 was the level of awareness and acceptance I attained. In other terms, I would say the measure of growth I quantified. I have grown guys.   I came into myself for lack of a better term to express what happened and with growth always comes lessons. If there is one person who takes lessons seriously, it...

ME vs. ME

By JAK - August 25, 2021
Thanks so much guys. The love on my last three posts has been massive. I am very grateful for all the support.   22 was such a blur.   I can’t actually believe that in a few days it will be over. Getting closer to 30, you begin to feel incredible pressure and have many doubts about if you will make it or not....

KEEP WALKING

By JAK - August 23, 2021
I said in the last post that I wanted to write a post a day until my birthday. Crazily actually, the very next day, I couldn’t keep up and I did not write the post. Usually, I will just tell myself “This is your biggest issue. You are very inconsistent” but not today sha.   I believe that to a good extent, this...

A LETTER TO MY 23-YEAR-OLD SELF

By JAK - August 23, 2021
Today, August 21, 2021, makes it exactly a month to my 23rd birthday. I had big expectations. Big expectations of what I believe my 22nd year would go like. The problem however, is that with big expectations comes big responsibilities and big disappointments. (Ask Nigerian women about their men, they’ll tell you… Okay I’m joking)   Quite frankly though, having big expectations can...
