A Drop of Honey for Your Day
A Drop of Honey for Your Day
When it comes to the new year and the urge to make your resolutions, I’ve found that realism is my best friend. The end of a thing, they say, is the beginning of another. The close of a door leads to the opening of another. It’s a New Year. Glad we made it. Hale, whole …
Hi, Good day family. We, HoneyDrops, would like to thank the 85 members of our family who have supported us all through 2018. We are concluding the year but can’t do it without saying thank you. On concluding the year We are a small family, but thank you for your love. It’s because of your …
Ojo Aje is the first day of the week for Yorubas. Do you hold on to superstitions? Or do you believe in myths? Do you let it affect your outlook on life? Must we have myths for everything? What do they do to us? The Yoruba people of Nigeria have this myth concerning the first …
Holding on and letting go is like wearing my scars like souvenirs that I shouldn’t be holding onto as I have. I’ve loved people with everything I’ve had in me, only to give it my all and leave myself with nothing. I hold onto the past like it’s a catchy tune on repeat, but I …
This month, my personal theme is GROW AND DON’T BE STATIC. This isn’t just a catchy phrase; it’s a commitment. For me, laying the foundation for 2019 means consciously applying these insights. It means embracing challenges as growth opportunities, looking ahead with hope but focusing on the immediate steps, and understanding that every small effort, …
The only way to grow and not be static is to first decide in your mind. You only know how great you can be inside your mind. You don’t know how realistic that thought can be until you can push for it. Don’t just remain at a particular point, having imaginations of how things can …
Everyone has been in a relationship since they were born. Relationships are too important to human existence to be overlooked. But how do you know your relationship is toxic? From cradle till death, you just have to be in a relationship, either natural or artificial, near or distant, familial or romantic… It’s just as though …
My big advice for today is to act now; don’t wait. It’s been a very long while, but if you live in my part of Nigeria, you’ll understand half of my frustrations. You can’t even deal. We are still pushing; we definitely won’t be stopped or deferred. You know, despite all challenges, I kept getting …
To the men I once loved, you lost You lost out big time You lost a lot of love and honesty, and true feelings. Unadulterated. You lost a pound of support and strength. Unfortunate how myopic your sight has been. A lot of love with strength. But thank you for letting me see how I …
What do you do on the days that words are not enough? The day’s words cannot just say how you feel. How do you handle letting go of difficult situations? When are you expressionless? When all you do is just look? Watch and wait. When you do not even know whether you are hopeful or …
I arrived back at my house 2 days after the new year. I will be resuming work next Monday. It is a New Year, and I have decided to make things better for myself with high hopes. If I can’t remember the past, I can make the present memorable. I had a very good flight …
I get it. Sometimes, after a period of trying to explore and have fun, I hit a wall. From November 1st until today, I’ve felt that strong urge to go back to my cocoon. All this “breaking out” and “soaring” just isn’t feeling like my style anymore. It’s like I was trying to change who …
So, I said to myself, I’d begin living on my terms and learning to start taking things a lot easier too… I want to see if I am an introvert, truly or if I am timid or just suppressing the extroverted side of me… How to handle being an introvert? How do shy people and …
It’s November 2nd. It’s still the beginning of a new month. We need to have good vibes for November, so first of all, Happy New Month… October has come and gone, and November is here. With little or less of no plan, but I have high hopes for this month. I just have that feeling …
It’s 31st October. I had no plans to do anything. It’s been a long while. Well, tomorrow marks the beginning of a new month. The only plan I have is to write an address to the men I once loved. Which men? It’s funny, though, but do I even have the words to say? Words …
As they say, broken relationships are better than broken marriages. But you’ve started a picture-perfect life years ago. Why should you experience multiple broken relationships? You meet a guy, fall in love, start dating, get married and have children, but you don’t enjoy your marriage. Why? Because there’s a girl whose main goal in life …
I’m just sitting here, in my room, with nothing on my mind. I am experiencing heavy boredom and asking, ‘What do I do?’ Yet, I have the urge to type something. Sitting in pitch darkness, the power’s out. Lol, the light just came back on. Dinner is almost ready. Beans and yam porridge, with onion, …
How can you truly embrace yourself? I have been writing on how people are being body-shamed. How people get looked down on because they don’t fit into another person’s physical preferences. How to truly embrace yourself is a significant question in your search for identity. I have just discovered another truth. You are what you …
The saying goes that “20 friends don’t play together for 20 years”. So the question is, how long does friendship last? I had always looked forward to breaking that saying with two of my friends; I was beginning the countdown. However, things have gone south. Painful though, I wanted to laugh at that myth together …
So, I was thinking that over the years we all, both male and female, have loved and been hurt. Most especially for reasons we don’t seem to understand. You just know sometimes that you can’t fix everything, and you can’t be at fault all the time. You can’t be the only one working to fix …
