Just finished my first read for the year!
Phew! Loved it! Loved how it ended! So beautiful!
Loved how the author explored diverse themes and told the story from 4 distinct points of view: hers and the 3 main characters.

- Flew first class internationally for the first time yesterday, and … Rules are for poor people mehn 😭. All that fasten your seatbelt and put your chair in an upright position does not apply. I was lying down when that flight landed.
- If you don’t already, start listening to the Harvard Business Review Women at Work podcast, especially if you work in a male dominated field; so many gems and actionable advice based on historical data.Career Woman to Career Woman:
- At some point in your career, being liked and respected will equally be as important as how skilled you are. Do not, I repeat DO NOT turn down invitations to socialize with your peers and superiors. Happy hour? Be there. Chilling by the pool? Be there. The game is the game.Career Woman to Career Woman:
- Replying to @EeevaJamesY’all seem to like to find problems where there isn’t. I know I’m poor, not denying it.
- Unrelated, I’m fascinated by how there’s a very thin line between persistence and delusion (or rather insanity).I applied to this MBA program 8 times. Got rejected 6 times, a partial funding once and a 1 year application ban. Guess who got in on the 8th application with full funding? Lol 🤭
- How it started:
Told this man I wanted to eat toast bread with scrambled eggs and hot chocolate, and he sent a whole chef to my house, and it’s been the most wholesome experience 🥹. - Bring back Gulder ultimate search please. I’m tired of all these love based reality tv.
- The way I tackle the men at my tennis club? I love it for me. Was on my own and this 50+ man looked at me and said, “if not for this tennis you play, you would have been fatter than this”. I replied “what about you?”. Now everyone is silent and staring at me 🥹.
- The secret to a happy life is really just living in close proximity with friends & family, and meeting up every Sunday to eat together and maybe do a sleepover.
- We’re battling fake soy sauces here. Read the room.Why do you think you’re single?
- Replying to @nmaokaforI was just saying “na so una Dey do for here??? Shuuuuu”. Air hostess came to introduce herself and greet me personally, like “welcome on board, my name is xyz” 😭😭😭. Gosh! I was just disgusted with my poverty 😭.
- In class today, the professor asked “who are we?”. I shouted “we’re nothing but pencils in the hands of the creator”, and nobody got the joke 😭. The silence that followed was so awkward, I wished I could evaporate.
