2023 Roundup

It is the end of the year!!! Honestly, it has been a rollercoaster year. I have delayed writing this for days now because I believe the year is not over for me yet. Now, the end is here, so let's get this done with. Honestly, it has been a rollercoaster year. I have delayed writing this for days now because I believe the year is not over for me yet. Now, the end is here, so let's get this done with. a rare picture of me at a public speaking engagement, actually that was a scene in OUAF. I’ve had cause to visit a therapist/ seek professional help several times this year but it was worth it.  I’ve had to cut off several relationships (family, friends, business) and I am glad I did.  I’ve been down bad, like deadass broke but God has been coming through for me each time I have a need.  Majority of my acquisitions this year have been with other people’s money and I am grateful.  how I spend other people's money I am not an entertainer but this year, 80% of the events I’v...

Plans, Purpose and Milestones.

  This is a 2023 roundup for THA Cleaners. When I was starting THA cleaners , I had a clear cut aim: provide well paying part time jobs for young individuals. How to go about it, I didn’t know. (P.S I still don’t know how ) So I mapped out what was meant to be our milestone for the first 2-3 years.(find attached) My letter today is two pronged. One: Plans Change. Be sensitive to notice the changes and be flexible enough to bend with the changes without losing your original form. We started out as a cleaning company but this year, we’ve done cleaning, laundry, moving, logistics, branding and even publicity. Thing is, our major goal is to provide temporary jobs, that is why it is first on our checklist. So, we would undergo any job that would help us achieve our primary goal without losing our form which is cleaning. Also, in our milestones, we had plans to start branching out to other cities by the end of the fist year but by the end of the fifth month, we realized that that would u...

Introduction?? Probably.

Image
Pardon my manners, I forgot about first impression You see, when Olamide released “first of all”, I probably wasn’t paying attention to the lyrics because why would I forget to introduce my self every time I meet new people. i no too spoil, at least i better pass Vic'O career DISCLAIMER: don’t assume you know me simply because you’ve read this, even I see new versions of myself daily. Basically, the name is Habeeb Anuoluwa Boluwatife, an U-25, ravishingly handsome young Ijebu Man. I am a professional cleaner, business owner, young people enthusiast, a writer and a whole lot of things you probably don’t want to know. yes, this is what I look like. Thing is, I took to writing because lately, I noticed that histories are told by victor and those who have access to the internet, so I’ve decided to tell my story myself before y’all say I am God’s younger brother. I actually started writing because I came to realize writing about my experiences and feelings gave me closure and clarity. H...

Mums, Loss, Grief.

Warning: THIS POST IS NOT AN OBITUARY OR TRIBUTE, IF I SEE ANY CONDOLENCE, I AM BLOCKING YOU ASAP. I’ve always wondered how life post my mum’s demise would be (don’t judge, this is a safe space and I want to know all possible outcome). Also, tbh, I am slightly (okay, scratch that) greatly obsessed with the entire concept of death and loss. Anyway, back to my story, I got an hint of how it would probably feel like. You see, my mum (read, Iya Bolu) is coordinating a project in the village her church is situated (yes, I am a pastor’s seed) and this project requires her to be there every weekend. The first time she left, I had forgotten about the trip, I just assumed that she would be home ( they have a saying about assumptions,right?) you could imagine my shock, despair and hunger(major issue) when I realized that I’d be spending the rest of the weekend alone. The entire house felt empty at best, at worse, dead. me at the window, looking out for Iya Bolu Thing is, I’ve gotten used to havi...
