Colours and everything in between

 "...my writing often returns to me in weird and urgent ways...", Mgodichi had said in one of her blog posts and at the time I read it, couldn't entirely relate.

Not until now— where I'm staring at my blog, and I'm unable to write anything.

I have been feeling a lot lately, and I really want to write, to write, and write, but omoh... my writing is telling me, "no be you go tell me wetin to do".

And it's fine. LOL no hard feelings. I'll be here waiting for it to return.

You know, life in school can be very passive— relationships, people, everything seems like they are here, just so they can leave you later.

For someone like me who seems to feel everything so deeply, the passive life here is not helping.

Though, I've made up my mind, for the years that I'm here, I'll make the most. 

I'll write, I'll vlog, I'll blog, and I'll love people like it's forever, above all, I'll make memories. 

You know, pictures are one of the ways to save moments from fading, a way to leave memories in solid form.

Recently, I made a video, titled it "Center of the Universe". After then, I've had moments when someone would randomly walk up to me and say, "I watched your video. It's beautiful". And I would smile like it's a normal thing to have people recognize me from a video, let alone commend me for it. 

Oh well, for the record, I don walka this school, no be small. I think I know all the beautiful places one could use for a video shoot. My next video is on "body shaming", it's a very sensitive topic, so I'm giving myself time. I wouldn't want to rush it, I need to breathee...

I've already gotten several comments and documentaries on the subject matter— someone sent a note to my DM, "I've been voice shamed, body shamed, small looks shamed, course shamed..." (That's enough spoiler, you'll get the full gist when the video is done).

Well, my friend Promise visited Nsukka today, I have really missed her. It was nice, lovely meeting her after... two years? I think. Gosh, time is running!

Lastly, I mentioned once, how the word "love" is such a strong label and shouldn't be tagged on things lightly... 

But yesterday, I was sitting at the music department's quadrangle, and I was reading a post by Roseline Mgodichi. 

Roseline Mgodichi

I found myself almost screaming,  "I love this. I love this Roseline..."  I loved it so much, I wanted my friends to read it too. And I guess they did, cause I shared it on my status.

I am looking for a proper way to end this post, but as it's not forthcoming, I guess I would have to abruptly say good bye.

"Good bye"

P.S: You're probably wondering why I titled this post "colours and everything in between", well it's an inside joke. The one who knows, knows. LOL
