FINDING MAGIC IN LIFE'S SIMPLE THINGS ✨🌷

Today, I attended a wedding and noticed a bunch of white flowers beautifully arranged at the venue. It instantly brought back memories of my childhood. Back then, flowers and balloons weren’t just decorations; they were treasures waiting to be claimed.

As kids, attending weddings and functions was never about the ceremonies. It was about fun, laughter, and those little fights over who could collect the most flowers or grab the biggest balloon. I remember how we used to run around, snatching flowers, sometimes even pulling them straight from the arrangements. It was a competition, and winning felt like the biggest achievement in the world.
I smiled as I thought about how serious we were about it back then. It wasn’t just about having flowers or balloons; it was about the joy of chasing them, the playful arguments, and the sense of victory when you had more than anyone else. Those little things were enough to keep us excited for hours.

But standing there today, looking at those same flowers, I felt a little sad. Nobody cared about them anymore, not even me. We’ve all grown up, and the excitement we once had for such small things seems to have faded. I realized how different life feels now. When we were kids, happiness came from the little things because they were rare and special. A balloon felt like magic, and a flower in hand felt like winning. But as we grew older, we started getting everything we wanted, whenever we wanted it. And somewhere along the way, we stopped feeling that pure excitement.

It’s not just about growing up—it’s about how life has changed. Back then, the world outside was full of surprises. Now, most of us are stuck scrolling on our phones, looking for something exciting online. We’ve forgotten how to find joy in the real world around us. Seeing those flowers reminded me of how simple life used to be. We didn’t need much to be happy—a balloon, a flower, or even just laughing with cousins was enough. I think we can bring some of that back into our lives. Maybe it’s about paying attention to the small things again, like watching a sunset, enjoying a conversation, or just appreciating the moment we’re in.

Life doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes, the little joys we overlook are the ones that make life beautiful. And maybe it’s time we let ourselves feel that happiness again—just like we did as kids.

RESTORING REAL BONDS 🔗

           In today’s fast-paced world, the art of meaningful connection feels like a rare gem, buried beneath the constant flow of notifications, tasks, and the pressure to always be "on." We interact with people every day, but often, these interactions feel rushed, shallow, and devoid of the emotional depth that truly binds us together. This change in how we connect is something I’ve struggled with personally, and Gabriel Okara’s poem                       "Once Upon a Time"  deeply resonates with me in this regard.        In the poem, the speaker reflects on a time when people were genuine, when smiles came from the heart, and when every handshake carried warmth and sincerity. Okara describes a world where emotional honesty has given way to hollow pleasantries, where people wear smiles like masks and go through life with rehearsed gestures. As I look around at my own experien...

CROSSED DESTINIES 💌

A girl and boy, by fate misled  He, the elder, wise yet kind,  She, with dreams and heart entwined.  Though destiny pulls them far apart. Their Love endures within each heart Against the tide, their emotions Each glance towards every word The harmony is felt, not heard, A wavelength in between the bond Their Love reflects, in all they do.

ON MY BIRTHDAY 🎂💐

It's been a month since , As I turn 22, I can't help but reflect on how special this day has been, surrounded by the people who matter most. The moment the clock struck midnight, my birthday began with an outpouring of love and happiness "My precious people". Waking up early, I felt a sense of excitement bubbling inside me. After all, birthdays are not just about growing older, they are about celebrating the journey, the experiences, and the growth that comes with each passing year. This year, I decided to treat myself a little differently with a brand-new mobile phone in hand. But there was something else I did for the first time : I got a haircut. It might seem like a small thing, but for me, it was a moment of self-pampering, a way to mark this milestone by taking care of myself, both inside and out. As I walked into college, a warm wave of affection greeted me and surprised me with the happiest rendition of "Happy Birthday" I've ever heard. It was ...
