Setting the Mood with Jason Mraz - Hearing Double


    Do you know the feeling that comes before running out into the sea, the excitement for an extra cone of ice cream, the longing for a break and the anticipation for a holiday?
Yup, that is July.

All through my younger years, July was the prelude to better days like the end of school and the long summer holidays with my grandparents. I am so much in love with the feelings attached to this month, making July my favourite month in the year. Now I am getting older, I have learnt to keep the same energy around the month.

So I am dedicating this beautiful month to friends and family and all the special people that are in my life and I am celebrating every one of them.
Thank you for following my blog so far, and I hope you check in this beautiful month also. 

With overflowing love,
The Estherian

The Effectiveness Of Fear

Some days, I struggle to come up with what to write, which idea is worth exploring or what to talk about. Other days, the idea hits me like a freight train going at maximum speed. And this is one of those ideas. Photo credit: Mikhail Nilov Source: pexels.com  I don't know if you know that I live in the South-Eastern part of Nigeria, or if you are aware of the sit-at-home order every Monday imposed on the region by IPOB. The sit-at-home order has been on since August 2021, and towards the end of the year, it became sort of inconsequential. Although I avoided leaving my immediate environs on Mondays, I sometimes go out to visit friends or run errands. When the new year came around, I truly believed that the sit-at-home was over, and I was not the only one with that train of thought, what we didn't know was that whoever gave that order had put measures in place to ensure we complied and that brings me to my story for today. After talking with a few friends and classmates,  we dec...

Today, I Turn 21

I would like to start by stating that I stole the title from a note that inspired me to put this up. Source: Weheartit.com I am aware that I am a collection of different people, ideas and inspiration, and maybe I am not an original, but it does not take away from the fact that the collection of all that makes me, well me, is a unique and somewhat original pattern and in the vastness of the universe and the depth of my insignificance, I am here, and I am leaving my mark. You see, I have always been afraid of the next day and I always thought there were a few things I needed to have that would make life a lot better; love, a partner, being the best student, and I chased after this blindly not caring what became of me. I believed if I at least had these things, I am going to have a chance. I am happy to announce I don't have any of that as I turn 21, at least not in the way I imagined. I have had quite a detour in life, learning the things I didn't consider important. And if there...

An adventure called Friendship: What I have learnt

The Passion Translation Growing up, I was always indoors and it kinda made me a bit reserved and shy. It didn't help the fact that I am introverted and could not make friends quite easily. A  friend means different thing to different people, so I want to break down all the people I refer to as my friends into categories, permit me, I always fall into the trap of placing people into boxes. The people that I meet and relate to on a surface level due to a common ground or interest. The people I have around or those that see me around and all we share is one or two nice words and we have no common interest or nothing whatsoever. The people who know me and we talk to each other a lot, we share similar interest, ideals and just about anything. The people that know almost everything about me, likes and dislikes, almost the same set of beliefs and we do things together. They are my go-to people for advice and we face life together. They are my real gees. Finally, there are those that we us...
