Hey guys!
How have you been? Well, I am preparing to start a
new school year, my last year in university. Whoop! Whoop! So excited to
complete this milestone in my life and I know that it’s all been God.
Anyways, I wanted to give you guys a short life
update as I count down to clock the big Two-Zero. Yes, I am gonna be 20. I
cannot believe that this age is already upon me, seems like yesterday I was
excited to be 16, then 18 and now, its 20. I have been learning so much about
myself lately and I just want to share a few with you.

I really like garlic. Now this is a
weird one because for most of my life, I hated garlic with a profound passion.
But now, I am absolutely obsessed with garlic. Not the strong stench of it that
some people carry on their breath, I am talking about the mild almost sweet
flavor that comes from slowly sautéed and caramelized finely chopped garlic. It
is truly something magical, lol.
·
I don’t like social media. Now don’t get
me wrong, I use social media, avidly in fact. However, recently I understood
that social media can make one dissatisfied with life. You see all the popular
instagrammers/makeup artists with their tons of followers and vanity tables
overflowing with YSL and Estee Lauder makeup and you sit at home with your
Beyond beauty liquid lipstick and Classic foundation feeling incomplete and
unsatisfied. Just remember, it is too easy to be imagine that all there is to a
person is a few photographs uploaded deliberately to showcase a particular
image. There is so much more to life that a few orchestrated images.

I am not dreading adulthood that much
anymore. I mean, I am still not ready to pay all my bills and go off on my own
into the world but I am definitely excited about this time in my life. So many
positive changes are occurring in my life involving school, work and my parents
and I know it’s only because I am getting older and wiser.

I also like crayfish. This one is
weirder than the garlic one, or maybe not because I really like shrimp and they
are similar. However I recently started adding whole dry crawfish into my stew
and jollof rice and it adds such a great flavor.
·
I am truly blessed. Now this sounds
cliché because people always say it but I just came to the profound realization
of this truth. Especially with friends, I am truly blessed to be surrounded
with amazing souls on a daily basis that I can depend on for anything and
everything. I know some people who change friends weekly and best friends that
get into cat fights about the littlest things but my story is different and I
thank God for that.

Cheese is a new found love of mine. Not all
cheese however, I don’t understand Brie cheese. However, Mascarpone, Americano,
Sweet milk and Cream cheese have found a way into my heart (and arteries, lol).
·
Lastly, I know what I want to do with my
life. I feel like I have realized God’s purpose for me in life. Not His general
purpose that all His children should live each day to bring glory to His name
and please Him in all they do, I am talking about His specific purpose for me,
Nkasike Gbana. And I am so happy and excited to see Him work through me to
achieve His purpose through my work especially.
Thanks for reading my random post, lol. I hope it
was not too boring. I just wanted to share some things with you guys.
Anyways, let you know anything you have realized about
yourself recently in the comment section, don’t worry I won’t judge boo boo.
And my birthday is on the 1st of October,
I accept gifts in form of makeup items hehe.
See you in my next post. Xoxo.
You
are a good good father, it’s who you are,
And
I am loved by you, it’s who I am.
