Let me warn you in advance, this might be a bit long but if you really really really want to enjoy it 100%, get to the end ehn. I promise its not going to bore you. So I am going to be writing to myself and referring to myself in the first person as well.
And yeah, liking this blog post is veryyyyy easy🙃🙃.
Hey Siri, play me “Birthday” by Stevie Wonder.
Hii, my name is Raheemah. I finally left the Under 23 gang today (as *Kamal* frequently says🙄🙄). I feel so old wallahi🥺🥺. It's na feeling like I am in my late twenties already😖😖.
So for this year, I have a couple of things I want to wish myself and maybe, just maybe, really change at least 90%. Here are a few of them:
Increased belief in Allah, finishing at least 10 readings of the full Quran, higher earnings, soaring self fulfilment, increased value creation in every means I find myself, strengthening my family's pockets, being more loved aaaand manifesting at least one K-pop concert😩😩.
I want to learn better how to stop expecting reactions so much on things I think I did well or generally expecting so much from people. *Dajuu* is going to be my watchword for this.
Uncle Procrastination, you have done enough in my life already ehn. Please just try to call that brother you seem to hate, Time Management. Please let it accompany me more than you from now on😫😫. *Eshey ehn, eku ife*
Yess, premium care abegggggg.. Maybe this yeye neck pain will go down fully with continuous visits to the massage parlour😌.
Yes, yes, eyin yii na ni. Let's be more joyful this year. Smile more, compliment more people, accept compliments without thinking off🙄. Oh yeah, while smiling, please be more patient with people this year ma. Maybe stop getting pissed easily when they keep delaying you or slowing you down. Sha manage your relationship with people better🤧.
Woh, this year ehn, BTS's love yourself is going to be my watchword. I would first and foremost be my own friend and love myself 100%. No bringing myself down unnecessarily because who exactly is that helping🤧?
Thank you for not giving up. Its been such an honour babe🥺. Good vibes all through in sha'a Allah.
I hope we come back here in a few years and drop the gist that we got to work closely related to Prof. Ndubuisi Ekekwe and even went further to be mentored by Satya Nadella. Wild dreams and all, but definitely Elon Musk too started from somewhere🤧.
Here's to a new wave of happiness, Raheemah!!!!
*Kamal* - That one Nigerian man I am completely in love with😋.
*Dajuu* - Uncaring.
*Eshey ehn, eku ife* - Sarcastic thank you for the love.
*Eyin yii naa ni* - She is always smiling.
Happy Birthday, madam
I wish you a successful year ahead
Notify us next time and we may send you gifts
It gladdens me to the cockles of my heart that this one isn't moody, and you're happy
Finally to Mr Kamal, that one Nigerian man madam is completely in love with, kindly take care of her or else; hmmn! The board of loyal fans, we'd first dajuu, then rechristen you Kamoli
This is a no breakfast zone
Much Love
God bless y'all
I hope this year's Raheemah will learn from the old Raheemah and do better.
Cheers to a new dispensation baby girl... Greater heights
