Valar Morghulis. All men must die.
Sometimes you nail it and it feels like a breath of fresh air. Your chest puffed up and your cheeks heating out of that spectacular breath of air. Sometimes; when you paint, sing, run, cook, code or write, it feels like life.
Alas, all men must die. A calculated expense to ensure your overall safety, ever thought of death that way? Nothing can touch you when you’re dead. You’re safe, invincible. Nothing but an idea.
I feared failure at some point in my life. If I had invited my 16 year old self to go through last night on my behalf, at some point she would burst into tears and start to call herself a host of names nobody should call anybody. Then she would proceed to do damage control by conjuring all kinds of games to convince her classmates that she wasn’t a failure.
However, 24 year old me; ripe from failing at just about everything over the years, simply laughed and shook her head - accepting yet another failed attempt. “Next time…” I had whispered to myself as I downloaded the lessons I was taking home alongside my ‘best in failing’ medal.
So we played Mafia on Wednesday night; The Exceptionals, Exy & I, and Mini took it home for the mafias with an Oscar worthy performance.
Yet again last night; as Uthman sought for a chance at revenge on the people who wronged him, I was panicking. Panicking because all through the week I couldn’t seem to plan anything for Thursday and if I’m being honest, the entire week has been scary. Watching the Game of Thrones, planning the week and that wonderful display of uselessness last night has been nerve wracking.
Peer preyurr is not good! Ah! If to say I followed my gut to do Paw Patrol or Barney. We for no dey here now dey shalaye. See my swag for ground fgs. Omolawyer, I blame you.
Anyway, we tried to play mafia again last night.
Key word: tried.
And it’s safe to say that as I was trying the try, the try was trying me. Because how can I be tasking Maxie for riddles and this goat is playing MOOO by Doja Cat. Ah, I wanted to combust that yesterday, ah. Utty Papi, mabinu.
I was so embarrazzzzzed omggg! Gosh.
But really really, e dey happen.
Today is Friday. And today, all I can do is get up, dust myself off and catch the first plane to Timbuktu lmaooo.
Valar Dohaeris. All men must serve.

You know, writing this out - I realize two things: Na only once man dey die, so when I have the opportunities to serve - I better serve and serve well. Two, the Kendesha that entered this University of Lagos is definitely not the weyrey that’s leaving it.
I’ve grown. And that’s something that doesn’t come with Faculty of Law’s LLB ‘kpali’. So I applaud me, for being a big girl about everything thus far. I applaud me for not staying 16 and fearful.
Valar Morghulis, Valar Dohaeris. Before you die, be sure to serve. Be sure to pour yourself into life and everything in it. Be sure to try, be sure to fail, be sure to do, be sure to win.
