It’s another day to celebrate females!!!

I say this all the time – I am blessed to be female! God knows what He does, always, always! He knows why He made you female or male… Let that sink in… Although, to be candid, there have been a couple to times I wanted to ‘un-woman’ myself: ·          when I heard Beyoncé’s ‘If I were a boy’ ·          when Hilary Clinton lost because ‘women decided not to vote in their numbers’ ·          and obviously when the monthly visitor comes *face palm* Regardless, I still (and will continue to) celebrate my femininity, I couldn’t have it anyway else! This year’s theme is #PressForProgress (sort of like Purpose; the theme for March, we are in sync right? and I didn’t even know this theme till today! Coincidence? Nah!) which is great, we all need to make every effort for progress. There are so many women in the Bible that inspire me, but I have...

'18 Raves yet…

We live in world that anything can literally go viral in a split second, literally… Stuff happens every day that sometimes it’s a tad difficult to not be surprised, it’s like people create new stuff every minute! So, I decided to create a list, a list of stuff that has blown my mind so far… And we are just in March! Ama have to update this list by like July… Here you go; in no particular order: ·           Drake’s God’s Plan Official Video: Man! This video is everything; lemme not lie, I shed a tear or two! The video gave me goosebumps, literally! I think it depicts how God; (kind of) the way he was all philanthropist all over the place is just mind boggling! I say... ·          Heritage Bank’s Spoken Poetry Ad: This is just one word - Love!!Love!! Love!!! (okay, may be that’s three words, lol, but you get my drift?!) Probably because I love poetry, that’s why ayam acting like th...

Ineffable Love

Today is exactly three weeks after Valentine’s day, wow, time flies – what you got to do, do quick! Lol. I wrote this poem for Valentine’s day, (I’m not a believer of the day oh, just a believer of God’s not-boxed-to-one-day-celebration-love) ironically that morning, my mom was talking on Christ’s love as the apex typa of love, (tbh, she does this speech every Val’s day; perhaps she does because she doesn’t want me and my siblings to be swayed by the grand gestures people adopt on this day and her best tactic is to remind us of His love) so, Mom, relazz, we know this *wink* I urge you to be reminded, thought provoked and most importantly inspired by His Love: I thought Hillsong had my heart until I met Bethel Bethel literally and figuratively makes me tear up Reckless love is the theme ‘Oh the over-whelming, never-ending, reckless love of God’ ‘Oh it chases me down, fights till I am found, leaves the 99’ I ask, how can you have 99 and still chase 1? ‘The...

Star Struck!

Hmmm… My people, na so I see my celebrity crushes… Na so I stand at attention Na so my mouth no gree move Na so I just dey look Chai! My brain no even boot to take picture… Na so I dull! Ha-ha! I wrote this poem on the spur of writing this post. I should actually give you the gist… Scene 1 I needed to use the ATM, so, I decided to go the nearest one around my office, I said to myself ‘this won’t take time, no need to carry phone’, that’s how I left my phone in the office oh. I got to the ATM, there were a couple of people, so I joined the queue, that’s how a black jeep rolled into the parking lot. Enter Nathaniel Bassey… I opened my eyes with surprise, (if you read my posts, you know Nathaniel is BAE!) and began to wonder why no one was screaming and acting all giddy. ‘Is the ATM working’ he asked. ME!!! He spoke to ME!!! I couldn’t even answer I just shook my head because I was too mesmerised. God bless you, I am...

Ta-Da!

Hey there! Been a while right? Probably more than a while, feels like an abandonment… Apologies… but *silent drum rolls* I’m back, and back with a bang! So, this is the Comeback post of the Inspired Cutiee! Why was I MIA? What happened? It would be clichéd to say ‘Long story’ because the story is not that long, (honestly) it was a fusion of procrastination, laziness, clogged mind, more procrastination, drive for ‘the perfect post’ and most of all… lack of inspiration. But, let’s hope that’s all in the past. Sigh, yes, I know I make a lot of promises, (this is not a new year’s resolution; been there, done that mehn) but this one has to be kept. The goal therefore is to schedule posts, so even when I run of out inspiration, there’ll always be something here. Not bad right? Speaking of what happened, I should add; it’s not like I stopped writing in its entirety, I mean I wrote and still write for other blogs, my office’s social media and blogsite, WhatsApp stories, ...

Try Out

I am not very good at poems; in fact, they are my least favorite form of literature. Although there are very good poets, PoeTolu is one of them, I love his poems. I was listening to Jon Bellion’s iRobot song and I decided to try and write a poem. Here: PS: I tried to rhyme, and the lines increase per verse. It is official I am in a rut I refuse to be social My heart’s hard like rock Love I love I used to love I can’t love I hate love Cuts, cuts, cuts I cut myself My heart is cut Tears caught up in my throat I am deeply cut open This cut is deep and wide It is pitch dark I see darkness Brooding darkness Darkness everywhere I live with darkness Day and night darkness looms Never-ending darkness D to the E to the A to the T to the H Its stench is appealing Death crawls up my skin Death wraps his hand around my mind ‘Come, come my child’ it whispers Slowly my essence begins to fade Floating into the welc...
