Note to Self …

Repeat after me…


You are going to learn to be happy… by yourself and on your own. You will learn to be your own happiness. You will learn to accept the fact that people, and relationships, can be temporary. And when they do leave, or come to an end, it’s normal. 

You will not overthink, you will not blow things put of proportion, you will not overreact. You will not force friendships, you will learn to let go.

When things do not go as planned, or you get your hopes dashed, you will control your emotions. You will move on. Let go and let God. You will not overdose, or indulge in self-harm.

You have amazing people in your life. Truly wonderful people who are always there for you. They love you, flaws and all. You should learn to let them in.

And, most importantly, if people seem impossible to talk to, God will never be. He loves you unconditionally, and you can always tell Him your problems, He won’t judge. You’ll thank Him on the good days, and on the bad too. You won’t ever blame Him, or question Him, because everything happens for a reason. For the greater good.

You’ll see☺:)

Hi there!

My name is Ru, or Oyinda. I’ve been reading for as long as I can remember, and my love for books has only grown stronger over the years. There’s something so special about getting lost in a story and then sharing those thoughts with others. On this blog, you’ll find book reviews, honest (and sometimes rambling!) bookish thoughts, recommendations across different genres, and many more for fellow book lovers. Whether you’re searching for your next read or just want to chat about books, you’re in the right place.
