Do You Feel Like Your Brain Isn’t “Braining” Anymore?
Anxieties, Ẹfọ Riro and Love Stories
Yes, I have come again, last time I was asking if I was more Rihanna or Beyonce? Now, it's this thing about my brain.
But hear me out.
Do you feel like you have lost your passion for things? It feels like I’ve hit that wall.
Recent Conversations with friends echoed my sentiments. So, I know I’m not alone in this.
When I was younger, I was more intense and passionate, and I pursued the things I loved with vigor. Now, everything feels burdensome.
Stress, financial woes, and self-doubt (amongst other things) have taken a toll. While I’ve grown and adapted, the wear and tear remains. It just feels like my brain (mind) wants to rest.
I read somewhere, that it's not easy reverting to who you were pre-mental health struggles. The fatigue and burnout persists.
Life has been happening lately, I have relapsed into a bad habit I’ve been trying to stop. I have also had to navigate the loss of something I was really happy to have – something I really needed.
And I’m feeling quite anxious and unsure about the future.
But hey, life will always happen. It is what it is. And by Allah’s grace, I know everything will work out for good.
Enough with the melancholic vibes, I made a mean and sexy ẹfọ riro this past week, but I forgot to take pictures. 🥲
So, if you know me, you’ll know I dislike cooking. But once in a while, when the spirit enters me – I’m a housewife material, 1000 yards.
So, it was my mum’s birthday and she wanted to eat pounded yam and ẹfọ (vegetable soup). And act of service is one of my love languages (the topmost) followed by gifting. So, yeah that was what sent me into the kitchen. However, me and that kitchen will not be seeing each other for a while.
People who genuinely love cooking are really trying.
And ooohhh, thank you for a 100 subscribers 🎉🎉🎉🎉
This community means a lot to me. That you are here to read my stories, share my joys and anxieties, and follow my journey as an indie author means more than you can ever imagine to me.
So while my brain may not be “braining” as it used to. I’m happy that I still get to create beautiful stories for myself and for you. Re: Rihanna or Beyonce?
Speaking of stories, A Crossfire of Hearts is almost here, now is the time to read or reread the first books in the series, though they can all be read as standalones.
While you are here, you may want to check out these books by Fellow Nigerian Indie Romance Authors:
I feel the same about a loss of passion. It’s even become worse within these last few months. I am constantly worrying about where my life is heading. I am trying to show up in the little spaces that I can, without being myself under more anxiety of “not doing anything” that often comes from “but why can’t you?” Lol.
Thank you for featuring my book, I truly appreciate you❤️
