The Woke-Wagon (For the ones far from home)

Happy new month to you and yours! ❤

I saw a catchy tweet on twitter today, here it goes...

"If February no MARCH, April may"

I hope you get the humor in that. Talking about new month and "marching", I've been doing a bit of reflection on what life really felt like back in the day (childhood experience). Wait, it just occurred to me that I'd have to Tap Ctrl Z like 15times to go back, and it hurts! Who poked my heart?! 🥺

        

Back story...

A couple of weeks ago, my little cousin (say age 19) posted her friend's picture with a baby bum and the Daddy, you know the kind Adesuwa Etomi took too(no offence to baby bums and couples, but they both be looking clueless). Now my little cousin disappoints me when it comes to mental work and good diction, thank God efforts to make better her mediocrity is currently seeing better days. I'm giving this much details because I'm hoping you would see the depths of the friend's picture I'm trying to paint. You get it now, dont you?!

Let's reflect for a couple of seconds...

Did you ever play with those little aquarium games that had two fishes, two buttons and a couple of colourful rings? You win when you get all the rings on the swordfish. That game was oddly satisfying and we didn't break the bank for that. Those x-box too and the brick game???

Life was as simple as cold zobo in a nylon for just 1naira! You remember that hausa sweet and that corn cake?? 

Enough about food, how about cartoons???

Courage the cowardly dog, samurai Jack, chucky, chowder???? POWERPUFF GIRLS???

Are you nostalgic yet???

We were cool with our complete jean outfit and be total bad babes but now the length of your eyelashes determines that, even if you are just going to buy a matchbox two blocks away from your house!!!

Affections were felt even in it's tiniest form. There were beautiful things to anticipate, the truth wasn't far, somehow the maturing process was in order... I think. Excuse my emotions, but I don't think the difference is in the age now (adulthood), but in the craze of being WOKE and falsely enlightened. Exposure is good, but do you see that it is costing us the beauty of a little naivety??? At the moment, Everyone is GROWN!! And nobody is "a child. Doesn't this scare you?

The world as it is, is on a fast spin. Nowadays, we're growing cold at heart and calling it WOKE.

I dare not say technology in our hands spoilt things, but the world is wilding and it's scary.

All in the name of being woke, a lot of them (some of us inclusive) just be on a fast lane hurriedly going south! I worry sometimes.

Lately I've been trying to focus on what is truly important and tangible. What true happiness is like... I even focus so much on fulfillment than wealth (not to say that having a couple of bucks and assets isn't great, but I'm talking about the real stuff here). I recently started thanking God for how ever form I have felt love.

Ask yourself what is important too? And get off that woke wagon. Na lie! Na scam!
