The Diary of a Christian Chic – A D E R I N S O L A

Today, I Paid Money To Have a 2 Hour Conversation With My Uber Driver

Time Check: 6:49pm I commute everyday from the mainland to the Island. On the streets of livelihood it is called “hustling” for me, it is called something else; at the core though, is the mindset that in this 24th year, something has to give. Note to self: I need to write on suffering, luxury and…

Fears.

I am intrigued and terrified by the spotlight. I don’t want to be out there. I don’t want the spot, the light and any other thing that will put me out there. I just want to be in a little corner, stay put, do all I am asked to and die. Crazy Life Ambition. Even…

On Boundaries and Principles.

Be careful with letting everyone in on your life. Don’t allow just anything or anyone around you. I understand you are a people lover but you need to learn to define relationships. It is called principles. Divide your relationships based on value and relevance. What relevance do I bring to the fore when I am…

Rest.

It is okay not to have your life altogether. It is okay not to know your purpose yet. This is not to make you complacent, it is to make you rest. This pressure is doing you no good. Running after prophets to give you a vision for your life is doing you no iota of…

Stripped.

Imagine being stripped off everything in life? You got fired. No business. No marriage. No kids. No friends. Your beauty waned. Your curves disappeared. Your blog crashed and all your articles vanished and you do not have a back up. Zero validation. Zero applause. Zero accolades. If you were stripped off all these and in…

Dear Diary: Hey, Daddy’s New Baby.

Dear Diary August 31st, 2017 My room, somewhere in Nigeria. Current Status: ‘Blue.’ The inspiration to write this diary entry came to me some days ago. I have been sick for a while now and in between what seems to me like long draggy, boring days, I have had cause to have conversations with God…

Let Me Tell You What Most People Don’t Tell You About Being Different.

There is a loneliness that comes with being different. This loneliness is amplified when you realize that the lens with which you see life is slightly different. So you could be in a room full of people but you are very aware of the difference with which you see life. Usually, you begin to look…

Boyfriend Palaver.

There are days I feel blessed and there are days I feel really blessed that I have someone like Christian dude all to myself. I mean I love my man. He is one person I feel most comfortable with in the whole world. We talk, gist, share God’s word, pray, play…. What I feel for…
