From Me To You

My dearest darling Ebi,

I see you wanna grow up sharp sharp, 😊 I get it sha, but Ebi darling, CHILAX (chill + relax ) and enjoy each phase per season. Live your teen life to the fullest ooo, soon you will miss being young and free. 😲😊 Be patient with your size, you’ll soon look younger than your age. 😉 Don’t be in a hurry to grow older, even though you think you look older. Be the you you really are, when you are. It’s the things you fail to do and not the things you do that cause you to regret most in life, so make good choices, keep calm and live your life. Also baby, don’t let the negative things people say about you get to you. Don’t settle for being what people expect you to be . Be you and enjoy being you. You are beautiful, you are brilliant, you are smart. You are relevant and you matter.

You simply can’t turn back the hands of time, so seize the moment and take advantage of every good opportunity that comes your way. Be deliberate. Be you at all times, love yourself, accept your weaknesses and flaws, improving on what you can and living the rest to be. They don’t make you less worthy, they make you human. You are good enough for the world. You have unlimited potential in you. Trials don’t last always. Though it’s difficult to see that now, cause you feel lost and confused, it will surely get better. And yes, you will soon have your own room, and girrrl will it be huge!!! you will love it. Don’t think they will allow you rest then too o, they will all still leave their rooms and come and gather in yours all the time 😀😀😀😀 and by they, you know who I mean, first letters F and Y. 😜😝😂

Amaka will be your bestie for life, she will be a sister to you and your sisters, a soul sister, your oldest friend. She’ll make you the best abacha you’ve ever tasted in your life. 😋😋 Cherish and nurture that friendship, although it won’t be hard because she is such a darling and she won’t give you any wahala lai lai. 😘😀 UC, your soul sister, will give birth to a baby girl just 2 days after David your booboo is born, you’ll love her like craaaazyyy. 😍😘 You will meet one wahala girl in ccic through the ever beautiful and ever young Seun darling (luv you darling) called Oluchi, who will love you instantly. She will love and challenge you for life, especially because your family and hers will become family. Even though Ify doesn’t like to make friends 😕, she becomes your sister as well (cause you are simply irresistible 😀😆😜😘. Damilola, hmmm, that oyinbo pepper will make you fat ooo, chaiiiiiiiiii, all the baked goods, chocolate and ice-cream 😲😉, well, we still love him sha! there is God! 👀😀 Arinola will buy you your first pair of brand new jeans as a birthday gift and will be very instrumental to your admission into UNILAG. Thanks darling! 😍 When you enter into uni, you will meet a really nice girl called Vivian, she marries Shema oooo, don’t mind all that shakara. You will love them and the kids for life.

Yes my darling, you will meet good people, not so good people, terrible people, and very terrible people. Some will love you, some will hurt you, some will hate you but pay them no mind and cherish the ones that love you. FIY, that guy you will come to think is the one, is not really the one, it will hurt when it’s over, but it is for the very best. You will get through it and go ahead to meet the real koko of all kokos 😀, you will soon know what I mean 😉😍.

It’s ok to be different. Not everybody will get you. People will talk about you, let them, it doesn’t change who you are and what you can do. Not everyone will like you, and that’s ok. Not everyone will support you, not everyone will give you a chance, that’s ok too, cause you don’t need everyone. If they are not on board they are not meant to be.

However, you will BE in spite of all that and those who God has destined to be there will be and that’s all that matters. Do better, be better. Don’t let the actions of others stop you from being kind and loving. You are not too fat to be cool. Eat healthy and exercise to you keep fit. You are beautiful. I am telling you now, with all the love in my heart, do not, I repeat DO NOT, concentrate on the things you are not good at until it consumes you to the point where you feel you are less worthy. Invest your time developing your gifts and talents instead. Learn new things every time, from anyone and any experience you can. Trust me, there will always come a time when you will be grateful you did.

Be fearless in the pursuit of what sets your soul on fire. Just incase you feel you aren’t passionate about anything, trust me, it’s not the end of the world, don’t fret, there’s no cause for alarm. Just be open to new experiences and learning new things. Keep learning as life never stops teaching. In doing so, you give your soul a chance to be passionate about something. For some, passion finds them, and for others, they find their passion by investing more time in developing certain skills, talents and gifts, and all of a sudden they can’t imagine their life without doing that thing. Everything will work out. You will be ok. Even though you don’t like where you are living now, you are so sick and tired of it that it drives you “cray cray”, you are for the most part ashamed sef, but baby, You will be fine. It will be tough, but you will be tougher and you and the gang will get through it. Remember to be grateful and thankful always, the devil doesn’t want you to be, so he makes you see all the things that are going wrong instead of all the many blessings. Continue to love and serve God with all your heart. Spend time writing more songs, Sammy will push and push till you release a single called Dem No Know. Believe me baby, even you no know 😆. Thank you Sammy ❤️.

Biko, let no man deceive you, if he likes it, let him put a ring on it when you are older and wiser. One more thing, this your phone wahala, changing numbers up and down, social media of and on (mostly off), who do you eehhh? People will constantly complain they can’t reach you, what’s up with that??? Plzzzzzzz do better 😆. Eheeennn, before I forget, pls less pidgin and more good English, plx abeg. Your pidgin is too much, don’t you know you are a fine geh? 😉😆 Also, sister, don’t bother trying, your writing doesn’t get better, even you can’t understand what you write. Yes o, it’s that bad. 😣😟😭

Lastly, (for real, last last!!! 😆😆), everything will get better! Luv ya!!!

With love,

Ebi ❤️
