Tbh, it was after my friend Amina graduated, she used to be a major source of inspiration she used to help me edit my work , take my pictures and just push me to do better, when she graduated I felt a little lost so that really put a dent in my blogging

-Do you have a basic life principle or personal mantra to help you get through difficulties or help you keep your head in the game?

Ummh I don’t think I do , but when I’m down I pat myself on the back and tell myself it’s going to be okay Simisola and so far so good.

-What book has impacted you the most ?

Weirdly enough , it has to be The family by Martina Cole, I honestly have no idea why that book stuck ,it was somewhat awful but it changed how I look at things .. to a certain extent that book saved me. But I try to learn something from every book I read , I love reading.

Everyone of the type of love mentioned below can cause you pain, pain that you could literally feel that your chest getting tighter and it just hurts and for first timers, no honey, it’s not heartburn you don’t need gestid, you need a good cry. 💕

Types of love

Eros: Erotic , passionate love.

Philia : love for friends (affectionate love).

Storge : Familiar love.

Ludus. : playful love.

Mania. : Obsessive love.

Pragma: Enduring love.

Agape : love of mankind.

—So I went through somewhat of a friendship heartbreak last week it still hurts 😂😂, thank God for Ramadan. It has taken a while for me to understand my feelings so I decided to ask 10 people the following questions below :

– Why you stopped talking to that friend or why the friend stopped talking to you?

–What emotions did you feel after?

–Which would you consider worse friendship heartbreak or romantic heartbreak?

– What advice do you have for people who are going through a friendship heartbreak now?

Btw, we are going to be changing the names of some people because they requested to remain anonymous.

The Answers.

1. Oreoluwa A.

Why: we stopped talking because “we had a difference in opinion about something I think it was the #endsars protest and lekki shooting massacre”, I didn’t know she would take it so personally. cause I don’t think I’d take any difference in opinion that personally. So I left her and decided we would talk later when the both of us have calmed down but we haven’t spoken since then.

Feelings : I had mixed feelings , on some level I felt like I was losing someone I cared about, also I felt like I was betraying her, I felt like disagreeing with her was some sort of betrayal because we never had a disagreement before Like I said mixed feelings .

FB or RB: friendship breakup definitely.

Advice: I think it’s fine to break up with your friends that been said I don’t think one should actively try and create friction within the friendship, but Get comfortable with the idea that you would lose friends and that isn’t necessarily any fault of yours that’s just how life is.

2. Ifedayo P.

Why: We are good now, and back to being friends) but I quit talking to this particular friend at the time, “because he moved out of the country without as much as a hint”The friendship had in all honesty experienced a bit of friction at the time but we still had lunch together a few days before his trip and all this ngga said was he was “going to Lagos for the weekend” and should be back before my birthday week so we could plan turn up lol.

Feelings : Emotion felt at the time was…I mean I wasn’t sad or none of that stuff, I think the word is “betrayed”. Especially because we had both once tried moving together 2 years prior and it didn’t work, this guy was my childhood friend — family. I got to learn his reasons when he was back to apologise, and although it was bullocks, I was ready to let go. I made sure he realised his excuse was not it though

FB or RB: Lol I’ve seen people talk about friendship heartbreak hurting deeper than romantic heartbreak and I just think it’s a dirty lie, you’d know if you’ve been hurt by a romantic partner you genuinely loved. So yeah romantic heartbreak feels so painful you could literally feel it in your heart

Advice: Learn the dynamics of your friendship, get to the bottom of the reason it didn’t work, there’s always room for forgiveness but it becomes a poor self esteem issue to remain in a toxic relationship of any kind. But also be introspective enough to know when/if you’re the problem, sometimes it’s all going downhill because of your own ego. Figure it out and make amends— Know when to leave the table, sometimes it’s best to let sleeping dogs lie. You just can’t help a relationship that was never meant to be, more often than not it’s no longer working because their purpose in your life has been served.

3. Bolanle W.

Why: We stopped talking cause our feelings got in the way and it was time for school, things changed after a conversation we had, “we started growing apart until we just never spoke again”

Feelings : I felt so much sadness and anger, I cried in the shower like in the movies😹

FB or RB: Friendship heartbreak is worse cause you’d always find a romantic relationship, but genuine friendship is rare and if it ends, the heartbreak is awful and takes almost a lifetime to get over.

Advice: My advice to people going through a friendship heartbreak is if you can try to fix it, if not, find out what went wrong so you’d have a better relationship with someone else if you get the chance

4. H.

Why: Because I believe friendship should go both ways, “I feel friendship requires love and dedication from both parties” and I’m always willing to put my friends first so I find it really hard to forgive their betrayal.

Feelings: Loneliness and sadness, I felt like my life couldn’t go on.

FB or RB: I believe friendship heartbreak could be worse, it actually depends on how strong the romantic relationship was, if I had planned my future with someone then maybe it will be worse, but usually when I fight with my friends, I feel uneasy for days and I just can’t function well.

Advice: Some plants are better left unwatered, but if you find true friendship, I’m talking about the one where you feel like soulmates and feel like you were always made to find each other, please make up, fight and forgive, always find a middle ground and understand your friend

5. B.

Why :He was my best friend and “we stopped talking because he had romantic feelings for me”

Feelings : I felt sad, distraught even, we did everything together. And I loved him, but not in that manner. It was lonely for a while.

FB or RB: Friendship heartbreak is bad but romantic heartbreak is worse

Advice :They should just give it time, It gets easier. Time heals all wounds.

6. Pelumi A.

Why :For me, there is no recent friendship that has ended, but a friendship I am currently in is on shaky grounds. We haven’t stopped talking but I believe lack of understanding can make us stop. We are two similar yet different individuals, so we get on each other’s nerves and I think one offence (something that might not even be a big deal) might end the friendship—basically we’re hanging by a thread.

Feeling : I feel a lot of fear- I hate to lose relationships and if we stopped talking it will affect the dynamics of our other friendships as we have the same friendship cycle.

FB or RB: I can’t say which pain is worse, it would depend on the dynamics of the relationship. If I lose a friendship with a best friend of 7 years, it might hurt more than if I lost a romantic partner of 1 year. Also, the depth of pain would depend on how much investment was made on each relationship. But lowkey sha, its easier to depend on a romantic partner so that heartbreak can pain.

Advice: If its just because you find people annoying that a friendship was lost, maybe you should reevaluate. The traits you find annoying in a friend, your partner might end up having (sometimes the things we find annoying in others, may be a result of our own insecurities). That is to say, enjoy your friendships, wahala no dey finish.

7. Zara A.

Why : The whole friendship became too toxic and there was way too much resentment on both sides.

Feelings: I felt lost at first because that was my person, but eventually I was okay because at least the toxicity from the relationship was over

FB or RB:Honestly I would say friendship heartbreak

Advice: It will pass eventually, it will still hurt but you’ll be able to live with it. .

8. J.

Why: So, She stopped talking to me because feelings crept in and I didn’t reciprocate. She made it clear to me she wanted more than friendship and she was going to move on and away from me if I didn’t want the same. She moved on.

Feeling: I felt sad, broken, alone. At that time she left, I was clinically depressed.. Imagine how much worse things got.

FB or RB : Romantic heartbreak hits more..

Advice: It is important to express your feelings in anyway you can, cry if you have to. But never become your feelings, never become sadness, anger or hate. Have a support system, talk to someone, do things that make you happy and eventually, happily move on.

9. Ore K.

Why :It was all a misunderstanding. She thought I posted something about her lol but it wasn’t. It was extremely relatable.

Feeling : After? I was upset. She accused me harshly and said a lot of things. Mean things. At that point I was in the “to hell with you stage”

Are you okay : Now, technically, yeah. What she misunderstood was something i had told her years ago. At that time i wasn’t talking to her but she thought I was and eventually it happened. So she came back trying to talk to me like nothing happened. I’ve forgiven her but I haven’t forgotten, like I said, she said a lot of mean things.

FB or RB: Hmm, friendship. Because this is someone you speak to all the time, it’s just never the same.

Advice : Honestly, what will be will be. If it ends, it means it’s time for you to move on. It’ll be hard, yes but at the end of the day, you can’t be friends with everyone. It might take a minute for you to see that but it is what it is

10- A.

Why: we didn’t stop talking per se but we literally went from being best friends to just two normal people. I stopped talking to her and sharing things with her cos I noticed she was lowkey beefing me and didn’t really want me to do well . My life wasn’t even that great , I always wondered how she would be if my life became really good . It was just scary ! Plus I became spiritual at that time and my spirit just didn’t agree with her any more.

Feelings : I felt really betrayed cos I want THE VERY BEST FOR ALL MY FRIENDS and it made absolutely no sense that she was the way she was . I’m not one to regret things but I regret sharing things with her . I legit told that girl the plans I had for my life . Most things have changed now sef , but if I had the chance I would not say a lot of thingsss

FB or RB: Romantic heartbreak o!😂😭
I’m still recovering. The boy was my first boyfriend and I really thought I was a hard guyyyyy but omo💀I think why this one hurts more than the friendship breakup is that with me I generally have this idea that anything can happen with friends. I don’t particularly expect much from them. So when they disappoint I’m not so surprised.

Advice: sometimes these things happen for the best . It might hurt but you would most likely meet better friends if you’re a good person .And don’t trust people too much abeggg😂 this doesn’t sound like good advice but whatever !

Closing Remark.

My friend and I were talking early this morning and he said somethings about friendship that I believe should be my closing remark, “Friendship It sounds so simple, so fundamental you literally want the best for each other and you have each other to rely on , you wish them well but you sometimes need to be selfish. It’s going to be difficult but at the end of the day you don’t want to associate yourself with someone that will pretty much stab you in the back ,I don’t want to look over my shoulders wondering if this person will hurt me or not ( a bit dramatic) 😭I know but it’s what it is , but when they do it’s an appraisal on them, nothing on you.

My top 5 songs this week .

• Take me where your heart is – Q.

• My girl – Temptation

• Peaking – Tay Iwar.

• Jeje de whine – CKay.

• Shot for me – Drake.

Please engage me and tell me whose story you relate with the most also feel free to share yours.

What is music to you ?

Reintroduction .

Bonjour, I believe it’s only right I reintroduce myself, My name is Lawal Simisola Halima , I’m 22 years old and over the past year ,I got a Llb degree , nysc certificate , started a business , learnt a little French , and ordained myself Minister of enjoyment cause I’m outchea living my best life 💁🏾‍♀️💁🏾‍♀️, I’m a happier person and I love that for me , a younger me would be so proud. 💖💖, Now that you’re all caught up on my life , below is why I brought you here today.

Not my beautiful face , scroll down 😂

What is music to you ?

This is something I’ve been fiddling with since uni , this was supposed to be the last project Amina Ganiyu and I would work on. But life got in the way , Last week my friend asked me what type of music i like ? If you follow me on IG , you’ll see I post all sorts of songs. “so follow me on ig so you’ll see it” but at that moment I hated the answer I gave cause I felt like I didn’t represent something that has given me so much well enough so I decided to ask a couple of people what music means to them? And ask myself earnestly

According to Wikipedia : Music is the art of arranging sounds in time to produce a composition through the elements of melody, harmony , rhythm and timbre.

Good answer Wikipedia, but it felt impersonal and unsatisfying. As a Gen Z baby , my first solution is to ask google so I did hence the Wikipedia answer. Below are personal answers that I love.

The Answers

•Music is peace, it’s where I find my happiness- ZARA

•Music is comfort for me – SOFIA.

• Music for me is an emotional Calm on a bad and good day – TUMININU.

•Music is life to me cause without music basically i might have died- OYINDAMOLA.

•For someone who is misunderstood often I can say for a fact that music is the only thing that truly gets me or my feelings- CHUBI.

•Music makes me feel what nobody else understands, it even explains to me what I can’t put in words. Music is powerful like that.Music gives me an outlet – do I want to fine-tune myself to that melancholy headspace even more or do I need energy at performing my tasks – “it’s a cathartic and purgative freedom for me no matter where I am or what I want to feel”Discovering music from both old and new artists that I end up falling in love with is like that sweet shower of rain after a long drought or unravelling your favourite chocolate. I am always giddy in anticipation of how my eardrums are going to be blessed. Music gives me solace, it strengthens me and tells me that it’s okay. That no matter what, it reminds me that I’m never alone. “Music is happiness.” – AMINA GANIYU.

•I wasn’t always a music person, for some time whatever music I happened to listen to was based off someone else’s personal taste. It took a while for me to develop a personal appreciation for music.
I believe music is a very personal and complex art form in that it allows you to feel a myriad of emotions all at once.
Through music you can find a sense of belonging as you realise that your struggles and confusions have been felt by other people.
Music fosters a connection between the artist and the listener and enables you to express yourself. Whatever emotions you might be feeling, there’s always a song for it.
“There’s this common saying that there are two kinds of people; those that listen to lyrics and those that listen to the sounds.”The beautiful thing about music is it can be enjoyed either way. You can choose to be analytical and focus on the lyrics, or you can just vibe to the beat and dance or groove to it. To me, Music is life, it’s what gives it colour. Without it our world would just be a very dull place- ANUOLUWA

I want to start by saying music is a universal language. Not just amongst humans but with every creature. From civilization down to the bushmen in Africa, everyone makes a form a music.To me, music is everything. I listen to any genre of music regardless of when it was released as long as it resonates with my soul. My soul is that spontaneous E.g. Fuji music does it for me when I’m in the mood to spend. “When I want to remember an experience, i just listen to music”- OPEYEMI.

•Music has always been an integral part of who I am. It has a way of speaking to me and for me, expressing and communicating what I’m feeling, all while doing so with sounds and the right words.
My bond with music goes as far back as when I was a child. From ballet and contemporary dance classes at 5, sound has always driven me. Growing up hearing my mother play songs from the 80’s and 90’s in the hours also played a part in shaping my music culture. I got my first ever album in CD, Beyoncé’s “Dangerously in love”, an album that was highly influential in my life.
I would say : “music gets to me so deeply because I’m poetic by nature and life has a rhythm on it’s own and what I can’t express and put in words, it does for me.”- IMAN MOHAMMED.

—-You know when people say a particular song or an album saved them I always thought okayyyy ohhh I never really understood it, but I started thinking about it , the first time I fell in love, my first heartbreak, my first salary , the day I got fired ,my graduation, every occasion with a first and last in my life , I realized that asides my best friend and family music literally was that bitch , she stayed for every emotion, every embarrassing moment , every forgiving moment , music is me , the best part is I’m not the only one that feels this connected to music it’s like you’re alone with your music yet connected to so many people , Here’s the thing music means different things to different people but one thing I can say is Music is what you make it , it’s is literally one of the few things that you can reconstruct to what you want it to be ,a song that makes me happy can make you sad , isn’t that just beautiful.

Closing remark 😂

You might not connect with music as much as I do , which is fine , I hope you have something you connect with and you love be it poetry, art or even coding I just hope you find something that understands you and you connect with in a world where you sometimes feel disconnected from it.

So Please tell me what music is to you , I’m genuinely curious , please don’t air this is my first blog post in years ❤️❤️, there’s no right or wrong answer.

Merry Christmas 🎄

Merry Christmas beautiful people.*in Chris brown’s voice * I know I’m a Muslim and all but I really like Christmas basically I like any or every holiday that brings my family closer but this time around I’m spending Christmas with my other family. They are the best and I love them unconditionally . So today I’m going to talk about how I’ll like to dress for Christmas basically this dressing is for the Muslims that go out on Christmas Day and for the Christians who have parties in there places or go to family’s house

Details

Top – atmosphere

Jumpsuit – soars trend hub

Kitty heels – thrifted .

Purse – best friend’s closet.

So basically this outfit is simple. I always say people we wear black are bold people cause it’s not easy to pull black off . This jumpsuit can be worn alone I wore it with something inside cause I’m not exactly comfortable with showing my arms and side boobs. But if you are you can wear this alone and wear it with shiny shoes or even brogues it can be pair with anything and if you’re a Tom boy you don’t even have to put the belt you can let it loose .

You don’t have to go all out to look nice you can look extremely simple and still look nice. That’s the good thing about this jumpsuit it doesn’t need a lot and the beautiful thing about black it doesn’t need anything

Quotes of the week

If you’ve noticed this isn’t quote of the week it’s my mind for the week. But this time around if going to be for the year cause this is the last post for the year. If this year has been hard emotionally financially physically spiritually and here to tell you. I’m sorry. And also good job for carrying on for wanting to to continue it must have been hard. This year I learnt a couple of things

– I don’t have liver

– I’m a good as fuck person

– People are always going to misunderstand

– Cry for a while . For a short while and get back up

– People say do what makes you happy but at the detriment of what ?

– You find love and it doesn’t find you if you’re not ready for the Love let it go.

– If your going through a break up think about it this way ,you loved , you felt love ,you gave love, and that is more than what most people feel in a life time

– Spend your last money on something nice, Food , clothe or in my case earpiece You perish you perish.

– Think about it this way any life problem . In the next 6 months or year. It won’t be your problem it will be over

– If something hurts laugh die. I feel like I forgot to laugh this year

– I lost a lot this year my election and some other things and the next day I laughed did it wasn’t funny I wanted to sulk but couldn’t.

– You’re an adult. You need to learn to hold. A lot in … Hold it in and sleep it out

– There’s nothing like a forever friend or forever enemy at some point in your life. They get mixed up.

– Mind you business it can be hard but do that.

– If your getting a leave me alone vibe from someone . Please honey dear darling Aunty sis. Leave the uncle / Aunty alone

– Please don’t spend money that isn’t your own

– It’s never too late . Never

– Make hay while the sun shine

– Pray, be prayful . Whatever it is pray.

– Find your niche something you’re good at.

– Don’t ever sell yourself short . You’re gold .act like gold king or Queen

– And lastly. Let it go. Whatever you’re holding in whoever is hurting you . Whoever you’ve hurt . Let it go. If you need to write it in a book and tear it do just that but at the end of the day. You need to let it go. . Let it all go.

-Time heals everything I used to hate to hear that but I got used to it. Time heals it all it might take a while for the healing part to come around but you’ll let there

– Never judge a book by its cover.

– There’s always room for more friends.

– Balance is everything

– Knowledge isn’t always power. Trust me

-Don’t ask if you’re sure as fuck You don’t want to know the answer

– Go off social media once in a while not every time instagram.

– Open your windows let the sun come in when I’m sad and I open my windows I feel like whatever darkness I feel when I open the windows and the sun comes it the sadness ends

– Go on walks

– Drink less soda

– Smoke less

– Drink less

Happy new year guys and Merry Christmas don’t forget to laugh and let things go in the next year I’m sorry if you went through some Kind of pain this year and I’m thankful you’re ready to make it into a new year . It must have been hard now it will only get easier . I hope lol.

Thank you guys for 2 years of following my amateur self .

I really love you guys 🖤🖤🖤🖤

It’s a wrap

Heyyy. Lol I’m nervous typing this it feels like the first time all over again considering the fact that I’ve been MIA for a while so I’m going to fill you in on a couple of thing

1). I’m a 500 level baby now 💁🏾‍♀️💁🏾‍♀️

2) My Chargie / photographer and roommate graduated . I miss them dieee 😞😞😞

3) I lost my zeal to be a creative I felt intimidated and lost 😣😣

4) I lost a little weight. 💁🏾‍♀️💁🏾‍♀️

That’s all I can remember

Btw . Tell me 3 major things that happened in your life in the last 4 months

Why are you here today

Outfit

Dress – Dose of kasa

Bag – Marks and Spencer

Mules – thrifted

Basically this dress can be worn to a Christmas party or a new year party. Ending the year on the right note is very important and this wrap dress just wraps it up

I’m a minimalist . I love simple things . This is already a monochrome . So you don’t need a lot to make it work. The dress in its simplicity is already very beautiful so I just paired it up with red to bring it out. You can never go wrong with a pop of color

I honestly don’t have a lot to say. I just want to say I’m back and literally this time I’m better and thank you to everyone we have messaged me to ask me if I’m good. And when I’ll be back. I appreciate it and I’m thankful to you all . You’re the best 🖤🖤

Quote of the week

▪️It’s hard especially at this age. Everything is hard and scary. School , future , love nothing is certain but. In a place where nothing is certain everything is possible. This is the only time to be fearless . So the youths of 20 something. You’re awesome SWAG

◾️. Learn to be vulnerable to the right people. Not everyone deserves to know you on a deeper level. If they think you’re proud that’s there personal problem.

Song of the week

Dark red – Steve lacy

Mamiwota- blackbonez x oxlade

Thank you next – Ariana grande

The veil🧣🧣🧣

Happy democracy day people 💃🏾💃🏾

So I’m so happy to be blogging again I stopped for a while if you noticed because I felt like something was missing in my life. Blogging life in general. And I was trying to get what I didn’t even lost. But I’m really happy I’m back at this .

I had a collaboration with bintabadmus and ninilevirtue so I’m going to show it off.

1.

THE PLAIN BLACK CHIFFON SCARF I paired it with an abaya from zee and the make up by nini and a silver purse and silver 👠 so beautiful and easy I went for a safe style all black to be safe 2.

THE PLAIN CHIFFON SCARF IN NAVY BLUE.

I styled it with my white skinny jeans from authograph my top from Fruché official. And my miles were thrifted and of course my scarf from Binta.

3.

THE CRINKLY COTTON SCARF

So I decided to do something for the working class People. You know as a law student I need to represent yo!! So I matched this with a blazer and pant trousers. All thrifted. And the make up by my wonderful friend nini le vitrue.

4.

THE CHIFFON BURGUNDY SCARF.

so I paired this with my abaya a very simple look for jumah or for dinner outing something classy yet simple. Let me tell you a little secret I wasn’t wearing any footwear. 😂😂. I’m so short nobody cares. 😢😢so basically that’s it for my first collaboration with 3 power women I’m so proud of myself and I’m so proud of this women for doing something they love. I’m happy to be surrounded by them. Shoutout to the chargie. And my roommate for the scarf skills 🖤🖤🖤

Mix Match

Guys. I’m back. 💃🏾💃🏾

As I type this, I’m smiling ’cause I missed taking pictures, styling myself up and all that. You know after my exams I had plans for my blog and everything – but my lazy-procrastinating-ass got into movies and books. And well I told myself, “Take a break you deserve it.” *NO KIDS*. It was a lie. I said okay next day, my closest friend is my photographer, so she also kept on saying Halima tomorrow, tomorrow, so that’s why you’re getting this now. Plus I sprained my wrist and fell sick.

One of the movies I saw, Black panther ✊🏽✊🏽. I love that movie. So today’s outfit is inspired by Black Panther.

What am I wearing

Top – Soars Trend Hub.

Pants – Thrifted.

👠- Thrifted

This my mix-match look. Like I said earlier, it’s very wakanda inspired. I have worn this pant in one of my previous post and even the duchess of England repeats her clothes, who am I not too 👸🏿 Basically, I wanted something that represents Africa with a touch of modern world. Emphasis on the shoes.

The top can be worn with normal jeans or even skirt tucked in and worn too work. The shoes can also be worn under the skirt, jeans which ever one you decide. It is a mix match. Peep the hair, and even the belt of my top. Very wakandian . Okay, so I’m happy to announce that I’m going to be here fully for the next one month because I’m going to my fathers house. Where boredom is the key. to wrap it up. Wakanda forever. ✊🏽✊🏽

Quote of the week

⚫️This path to greatness sometimes comes with bumps and tears, but remember you always lead the way . Stay focused , Stay positive, trust the process and look within you. You’ve got this.
