BEAUTIFUL FRIDAYS - by Gift Olabode

It is a bright, sunny day at my end. I love Fridays, and today is one of them because… today is Friday! 🤭

I sang happily in the bathroom with my melodious voice (I wish 😆) as I got ready for my day.

I mean, this is the last day I’ll be preparing to go out to work. Don’t get me wrong, I love my weekdays because they’re productive and they keep revealing a better part of me. I mean, they keep exposing my superpowers. 😌

But because it’s Friday, I decided to keep my mind jolly and emotion free. Just a light, soft little insight for a soft day. 😉✨

My day was going smoothly, and did I mention I went on a date? 😋😋

Best part of my Fridays.

And nope, I ain’t giving you the details. 🙂‍↔️

Happiness was dancing freely in my belly as we talked and laughed until, somewhere in the middle of our melodious conversation, he asked me about my strengths.

I really wasn’t planning to have a serious conversation, but I guess we needed to get right to it.

So I started talking.

“I can make you discover parts of yourself you never knew existed.

I can give birth to a side of you that had never lived before.

I can open the doors of my mind and let you wander through them, allowing you to taste only the parts of me I choose to reveal.

I can quietly rent a room inside your head without asking for permission.

You’ll carry pieces of me into your thoughts, your conversations, your perspective… sometimes without even realising it.

I can kill the parts of you I hate and water the ones I love..

I can make you look at yourself differently.

I can make you see yourself as you truly are — or perhaps, as you were always capable of becoming.

And my bleeding?

Oh, my bleeding can be horrific.
