time to write my ting for today.
can i write it here?

oh i mean yeah
but is that convenient for you?

yeah i want to try. i’m hungry, and i have a headache from a lack of sleep. 8:16pm — idk if i should power through the hunger and eat in the morning — oh who am i kidding, i won’t be able to eat in the morning. i am going to the office & i am not starting the work year with those soaked-in-oloibiri-oil-wells-puff puff-and-egg rolls.

jimi just handed me a bottle of gin. sure, why the hell not? who even cares? time is a social construct — and so is drunkenness. i take a swig and feel the heat in my chest. mmh heat. hot food. ahhhh

my girlfriend says “not you drinking without me”
my girlfriend says “we were supposed to try that gin omg”
my girlfriend says “awww are you writing your article for tonight?”

yes. yes i am my darling. i am typing today’s thing in your DMs.

my girlfriend says “my baby. are you drunk? you’re cute”

it makes me smile. god, she makes me smile. okay bae for real, i am writing today’s thing here. but i am also talking to you. what do i eat? let me check chowdeck. give me a sec.

okay baby

godddd bae chowdeck said they couldn’t debit my card but guess what? yes you are correct — i was debited. like pls that’s my last 4k i can’t buy anything till i get a refund.

i’ll send you the 4k

who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies. the heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil. she will do him good and not evil all the days of her life. — proverbs 3:10–12 (kjv: king james version)

my dad loves this verse haha

oh bae they got the payment haha
shawarma incoming.
god i need to iron.
woah bae i miss you oh ah ah
let me stop this writing thing here pls.
there are some things i need to say for your eyes only.

goodnight everyone, thanks for your help, but we’ll take it from here.

Oluchukwu’s note: I intend to publish something every day this year. Obviously, this is a herculean task for me (you all know how much space there is between stuff I have written recently) but I will give it my very best shot. I hope you will show up with me ❤
