Up, close and personal

Birthday edition.

Pinterest inspo, who please?🤭

Q: How old did you clock yesterday?

A: Two decades PLUS two numbers that closely follow each other numerically. Easy peasy.

Q: What are you most grateful for?

A: In simple terms—a thriving walk with the Lord, my family and close friends.

Q: What's your favourite birthday experience?

A: Honestly, I used to think it was last year when friends pulled up a surprise for me. But the events from my birthday yesterday? Yikes! (*faints in Nollywood style).

Q: Something about your birth that stands out to you?

A: Has to be the fact that my mom had been expecting a boy, and had even bought baby boy stuff, until she found out last minute that she would be birthing a girl. Alsoooo, I find it hilarious that after my mom had a C-section, the first thing she asks wasn't if her baby was healthy, rather it was, “I hope my baby has a lot of hair.” Plot twist, I'm a bit lacking light in the hair department.

Q: Fun fact about your birthday?

A: It's ALWAYS a day full of interesting surprises. Literally in the ‘gobsmacked with my mouth hanging open’ style.

Q: An ideal birthday experience for you?

Reflective. Joyful. Eventful. A day spent with close friends and family.

Q: Your philosophy regarding birthday gifts?

A: It's the thought that counts. Really and truly.

Q: Most important lesson learned in life so far?

A: The gift of men is INVALUABLE. It's a privilege to know this by experience.

Q: Favourite birthday tradition?

A: Cake cutting!!! Photoshoot adds a nice ring to it, too.

Q: What are you looking into doing more, or differently this new year?

A: Win more souls for Christ, manage/invest my time wisely, look after myself in matters of health (emotional, physical, mental), be aligned in the will of God (since my times are in His hands).

Belated happy birthday, Adebola. Friends, say a prayer for her. 💛
