Finally learning to love…

"Ozzy you said you had something to tell me..." "Oh yes... no... ermm... nah. I changed my mind..." "Oh really, well then I have something to tell you..." With this statement, he drew closer to me, held me in his hands and looked me in the eyes. I was terrified and elated at the same …

#My2019Story – Ozioma Paul

Helloooo peopleeeeee! I'm so excited to do this. Thank you sooo much to every who shared in the past week... thankful to everyone who read, shared, left a comment. Honestly, I wasn't going to do this. First because this year alone seemed like nine years. It was longgg. I knew if I did the #My2019Story …

#My2019Story – FeranmiOG

Unlike many people, I am not ambitious and don’t like setting lofty goals. So for 2019, I had no new year resolutions or a list of things I wanted to achieve. “ Fake deep” but Time is a social construct designed to keep you running around till you die I would like to break this …

My2019Story – Wilson Wilson

Hello! My name is Wilson. Sometime in 2018, I decided that I was tired. I was tired of setting goals and not meeting up. I was tired of building friendships that I’d eventually just ghost on. I was tired of people genuinely thinking I was a great guy. I certainly did not feel that way. …

#My2019Story – Ore Awobade

I entered 2019 with a lot of expectations, confusion, fears, and plans (goals too), most of these plans never panned out. There were times when I felt like i wasn't enough or just maybe I had a problem and there were times when I felt like I was on a roll and gbam! I'd fall …

#My2019Story – Akintayo Jabar

I last did this in 2016. Things really hit me hard that year, I felt like I would burst if I didn’t let it all out. This year has been the same only this time, man has become a full bottle. I’ve mastered the art of keeping everything I’m facing or going through to and …

#My2019Story – Christiana Adeyemi

2019 did not really start on the best note for me, I was suffering from chronic case of insecurity. Let me give you a glimpse into that: By January 1st 2019, I had just undergone appendices surgery, which left not only a big scar on my stomach but also on my heart, I was terribly …

#My2019Story – Olufolake Onasanya

Hi guys! So I’m really excited to be doing this today. Yaaay! I’m a guest writer on Ozzy’s blog💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼... I’m honestly excited to be writing this piece. (Maybe not entirely excited because I wish it was going to be all good stuff in here, but unfortunately it isn’t.) I had an entirely different draft for …

#My2019Story – OreOluwa Eni-Ibukun

31st December 2018. I was in the car with my cousin. He asked, “Ore, what’s the plan for the new year?” That question aroused a cocktail of feelings - a fatal mix of anger, self-pity with a dash of fear. My cousin was genuinely concerned but I was sick of hearing, “What next?” 2018 had …

#My2019Story – Jokotola Odusami

6:01pm. 25th December, 2019. Lagos, Nigeria. I have been staring at my system for the past 30 minutes, unsure of how to start this. My 2019 had three seasons in one - Clarity, Growth, Thrive.  My body feels like it’d lived nine lives. Clarity Weeks before I completed NYSC, everyone but me was fixing their …
