My Tooth Extraction

It's scary that some occasion are permanent.

Today l got my tooth out ( yeap, l got an extraction) and it dawned on me that l will never have it back. It will just be an empty room another tooth won't fill.

I saw the tooth and l was like mehnn, it has 2 sharp points and I'm here thinking about the deep hole. ( will it ever be open or will close up?)

I know I had a hole in my tooth, it was fun to look at and touch but I didn't know the implication. I wish I did, so last year pains started, mehn it got me wild, angry and couldn't eat or drink hot or cold water.

Went to the hospital ( General hospital Minna)and the hole was filled. Happy me, l went living happily ever after.

But if happy ever after did exist, I would still have my 36 teeth intact, so l guess it doesn't. The hole opened up- l dont know how but it did. I ignored it, you know l wasn't feeling pains until when the pains came. It was excruciating, disrupt my sleep, my eating, and constant right ear pain.

I got the tooth removed on 7th August 2021 and l couldn't eat. Pains ( I took some drugs before the anesthesia ward off letting more pain kick in.

During your tooth extraction, l was given anesthesia to numb the area of the tooth that is to be removed.

10th August 2021, l felt no pain, no blood, just here thinking how do l not take my tablet and still get the result. They make me sick especially a yellow drug and Ibubrofen 🤮. Amoxil is my favorite ( I prefer capsule to tablets)

I also have to hold warm salt water in my mouth 7 times a day and this should be done for 1 week. (And you know how painful it is when you can't eat meat properly)

Eating on my left part of my teeth is still a scary feeling but I'm gently doing it.

What Happens When we Attach Pain

We know people that are currently in a toxic relationship, you’ve heard them talk about leaving the relationship but they never leave. Maybe they are in for financial benefits? Or perhaps it’s just love? And what about those people that hate their jobs but won’t quit? Why complain when they know what to do? If we give ourselves enough reason to hate someone we deeply love, we will wake up one morning and we are filled with hatred towards that person likewise if we want to fall in love with someone. What changed? “Enough reason to back up their decision” They haven’t convinced themselves with good enough painful reasons as to why they should leave. They only think of the pain they will derive after they leave. If the pain of leaving is greater than that of staying, they will stay. We weigh options and go for the less painful one. Remember when you thought you would die when your ex broke up with you? Look at you now doing just fine. You’ve convinced your heart with bitter feeling...

The Dangers of Making Assumptions

Thoughts can be deceiving!!!!!! One thing I've learned from experience is to never ASSUME. To assume someone knows what to do/say To assume someone knows exactly what I’m thinking or how I’m feeling. To assume what I think about someone or something is correct. To assume people will treat me how I want to be treated without demanding it. Assumptions are not Communication and can be misleading. An assumption is a vague vision of what's on the other person's mind. Assumptions are not facts, never start a fight, relationship, or business based on assumption. By communicating we understand each other. Most relationship end due to lack of communication- they assume their partner should know what’s on their mind even before they say the word and if their partner can’t do that it becomes “he/her doesn’t know me well” Like you, everyone is sorting out a lot of things. They aren’t saying a lot because they don’t want to be an additional burden to you. If you’re mad people aren’t se...

A Poetic Formal Letter to MEMAC Ogilvy

Listening to Rory Sutherland (vice-chairman of the Ogilvy) sparked an infinite interest in marketing in a young writer/social media marketer who’s fantasizing about both of us getting married and building a home together. I am thrilled to say I want to be a part of you (an unpaid internship) position at MEMAC Ogilvy Dubai , United Arab Emirates. I am passionate about the new meaning of marketing, making marketing Psychological rather than logical. I would love to channel my skills as a writer and Marketing Intern. I'm not going to presume that you don't give a damn about the other ladies I've been with. So, while in Nigeria, I was in a relationship with a Tech company ( JD Lab ) as a writer and social media marketer. I don't typically do this, however, I became intimate with another lady (TEDxMinna) as a writer and social media Team Leader. I swear it wasn't long. I was in charge of managing the social media profiles and producing material for them. These women an...
