MY MOOD RIGHT NOW

I think I'm slowly falling into depression, but then I don't want to call it depression if I'm having a few rough nights. It will be a slap in the face to those who suffer from it.
But how do I explain sleepless nights, terrible mood swings and constantly over thinking and feeling like I'm failing in life. The constant need to quit my job even though i can't afford to go without a job. It's easy when you see it in movies where a person just give a huge fuck off to their job , walk away without looking back. I didn't really think of the effect the job is having on me , sitting all day, staring at a computer screen with not enough shit to keep my brain active. But hey the things we do for survival, I get angry at myself and blame myself a lot for not working harder at a younger age and taking necessary steps to secure the so called bag. Now I'm stuck at a job I dislike and I'm still not over the rejection from the last time I applied for jobs I'm scared to apply for others because I dnt think I can't bare the rejection. So its earlier to sit In shallow water waiting to be reduced instead of finding my way deeper into the ocean where there is a huge risk but also a huge chance to be spotted. I feel I'm going to snap and have a huge breakdown soon, I dnt know if it will happen or how il handle it if/when it does but I'm not myself and I'm worried.

  1. I guess this happens a lot, almost everybody experiences this, they just don't talk about it much, there comes a point in life when you feel like you should be doing better than what you are currently doing. It's life, i guess it's part of the plan for those who are ambitious. It's a phase, hang in there!

  2. You know what 3yrs ago I was having this same feeling I just couldn't take it anymore , I felt like I was trapped in fact i was loosing my mind, made up my mind and walked out on my job a dumb ass decision, taught I was doing the right thing but I was wrong. Still searching for a new job now but all I get is rejection something to do with age. Try to find solace away from your boring job or pick up a side hustle , do anything that will make you happy and never rush into making decisions trust me I know. By the way nice blog��

    1. Thank you for your lovely comment. Unfortunately I handed in my notice and I have two weeks left at my current job. No new job lined up but I'm very hopeful for something in the new year. Would love to have a side hustle but this job is driving me nuts, i'm not learning anything or growing in anyway. I hope you find a new job soon and do keep me posted when you do.
      Thanks once again , I get very happy when I see positive comments on my blog.

COURT EXTERNSHIP : Entry 1

I had plans for the two weeks break, had it all planned out in my head, study, work out, stay the F away from carbs and sugar. All I did was sleep, eat carbs and stock up on sugar, I feel like a failure, well not entirely but I'm the real definition of a waste man, Didn't realize how tired I was until I started taking naps during the day yet not finding it difficult to sleep at night. We started our externship . Yay! My posting got changed to Igbosere, got the email while I was in Ikeja High Court, I love criminal litigation, practicing in Nigeria doesn't look that bad. The Judge heard 16 cases, some which were for arraignment but the accused person's did not show up. It's a complete different ball game, been there watching everything we were thought in class being put into practice . Commercial is not as exciting as criminal but , I like the court. The judge hears cases on Land, landlord and tenant, general civil.  breach of contract and some corporate issues...

HOLIDAYS.

Hi guys, So I've been in Lagos for the last three weeks and it has been nothing but chaos, I was very excited for this holiday but everything seems to be going out of control and I scared of the consequences of my actions.  As usual, I have a lot of ideas about what to do in my head, I had plans to write a lot more since my stories are mostly written about Nigerian characters and the cities I've visited in the country. I wanted to update my cv in order to start looking for a new job when I get back to Dublin, I also wanted to learn how to use excel properly and also learn other tools that will make my job search easier and increase of getting a better job.

ESCAPE

"God will punish you', I shouted as I tried to chase the man who robbed me" "E no go better for you ', I am fighting a battle I know I’m not going to win, but I hate being cheated, I settled on the train tracks to catch my breath, a few minutes before the train passes. A small crowd  gathered the nosy bastards who have nothing better to do on a Monday morning, I look up from after a few minutes, I have no choice, a pair of over-bleached feet appeared beside me. The sight of someone's skin bearing a striking resemblance to over roasted plantain nearly made me regurgitate the contents of my stomach. "How far now? she asked putting her hands on my waist.
