Dear Gentle Readers, So I am 25 years old now. Wow, I am still pretty young but yet feel so old, LOL.
There were times when I was lost, confused and wasn't really sure what I was doing with my life. Older readers would undertand what I am saying because you probably went though this phase.
Well, cheers to this age and I hope it comes with a deeper sense of purpose, growth, peace of mind, and beautiful opportunities.
So, I was supposed to write a post on my birthday but after I went out to have my fun, I caught a flu so it delayed sharing this post.
Honestly, the celebration was small but it was fun. It's the most fun I've had in a long time. I got calls from family, friends hyped me on their social media and I even got treated my favorite meal (Amala and Ewedu).
Lets give you a quick gist:
So, I spent most of the night at the Jollof Bay Buka. It was my first time being there and I enjoyed my night. I ate Amala and Ewedu with goat meat. It was the best meal I have had in a while now.
I am not a fan of taking beverage while eating, I prefer to just drink water.
The environment was calm and aesthetically pleasing. I went on to take pictures and even videos, here are some I took:
Here are 25 things I have learnt in the last 25 years of my life:
