Up and Doing

I unknowingly search for your face in the crowd
My heart longs for a glimpse of you
You're the one I don't know
Yet you're the one on my mind
Our meeting was misplaced
A chance encounter that almost never happened
You made me blush to my roots
It wasn't just your words
It wasn't just your eyes
It was you
All of you, telling me the same thing
"You're beautiful"
I looked away
I couldn't bear the intensity of your gaze
You were beautiful too
Your brows
Your hair
Your proud nose
The curve of your lips into a smile
Drawing me to you.
I wonder about you
This boy on my mind
Who are you?
Where are you?
I wonder what we could have been
Probably more than friends
But I might never know
You didn't get down from the cab.

    I took a stroll to the Distance Learning Institute in my school and this happened. The sky was soooo blue. The clouds were soooo white The leaves were soooo green. Everything was colourful! And people wonder why I don't have a favourite colour.
    I took all the pictures with my Tecno Spark. Leave a comment and tell me what you think. You can also see more of my photography on Instagram @mynes.ip

     There's a lot about me you guys don't know. A lot I just haven't written here largely because of my inconsistency with blogging. And maybe you just haven't been on this blog before. Either way, I just want to fill you in. Just in case you didn't know... this is 20 random things about myself. The list may not actually be so random but this is a very unplanned and spontaneous post.
1. I'm a born again Christian.
2. I used braces for about 2 years. I had really terrible dentition before.
3. I hate second trips. I'd rather sprain my ankle carrying the car into the house than go twice to the car.
4. I love window shopping. I love pretty things. I almost can't go to a mall or a supermarket without browsing through.
5. I'm a photographer. I should start posting some of my work here soonest.
6. I'm a law student in the University of Lagos.
7. I hate Nollywood movies because of their mediocrity. You can't watch a Nollywood movie without hearing me blurt something in annoyance. I keep hissing and stuff..
8. I don't have a favourite thing to eat. I follow my cravings but I love bread, milk, garri, sausage, beans, fried rice and Chinese food. I love crunchy food. I hate spaghetti except Korede's spaghetti @Unilag and Chijioke's spaghetti @medilag. I hate noodles except it's heavily garnished. Even then I eat very little.
9. I love going out but I'm an indoors person.
10. I'm one of the most hyper people you'll ever meet. I almost always have energy.
11. I love to read everything but my textbooks.
12. I'm a very simple person. I'm just complicated sometimes.
13. I have low-cut hair and I'm currently planning my next hair cut.
14. I have 2 younger brothers.
15. I've been to more than 10 states in Nigeria. I only passed through some but it still counts. Doesn't it? Bottom line, I love traveling.
16. I LOVE FANTA.
17. I think faster than my brain.
18. I attend Rhythm 5 fellowship, Unilag.
19. I'm very open to new things.
20 I talk to myself and the Holy Spirit out loud. I also dance in the street. Try it sometime, it's awesome. It gives you a sense of "not-caring" about what people say..

Dear Reader,

Hi. How are you? I know it has been a while and I'm truly sorry. It was an accident. And to those who are surprised, yes! I'm alive! I have been offline in more ways than one. Let me explain. No phone and no laptop. I don't have a phone. What I have kind of looks like this picture. It's a Lumia and the camera is just terrible. I call it a handset, calling machine or better yet, a limitation. So I'm not on Instagram, Snapchat, and even common Facebook that I wrote off.
I gave my laptop to a friend for a project  a while ago and I just got it back on Monday. So you see, offline. I'm back, I hope. but I'm a bit limited in the things I can do. My phone was my camera and I used it to post on the blog a lot. Now with my handset.. sigh.
     Anyway, enough about my availability. I'm trying to gist you about my life. I'm currently in school. Exams are in a little while so you can expect another disappearance soon. Apart from that... Nada. Zilch. Nothing. My life isn't so exciting, if you haven't already guessed but I like it that way. I have a trip coming up really soon. Next month actually. I hope I can take a lot of pictures and tell you about it.
     I just want you to know that I'm thinking about you. I wonder how and where you are. I wonder what you look like too. I also wish you'd comment sometimes and tell me to come back when I disappear but I'll take what I can get. I hope I can inspire you for a while
                                                                                             Love, Damimyne.

This is a recent picture of me looking silly

There's a diva in me!

    Thank you to everyone who took their time and data or free Wi-Fi opportunities, whichever the case may be, to check out my blog. Thank you all so much for the wonderful feedback. After I published my first two posts, I started asking myself questions and wondering about the devil that pushed me. I felt like I had been too honest and I'd always felt like I wasnt a good writer. I needed a second opinion.
    I asked my close friends to read the blog posts and tell me what they thought. They said nice and encouraging things and I got excited then I decided to ask a few more people. I got almost the same replies. I decided another set of a-few-more people till I had asked almost everyone on my contact lists. I got basically the same replies with a few twitches here and there. All was good till I got it in my head that all those people somehow got together, connived and lied to me.
