You deserve more than flowers

….but that’s all I can give for now.

Hello my loves and the people new to this space, how’re you all doing?🫶🏼

This letter is actually impromptu but my inspiration (Holy spirit and

Maryam's world of words

) prompted this. I would have done this in the note section, but it seems a bit too long for that section.

This is a letter to all (okay maybe not all) but all the people that stand out to me on this app. I needed to call you all out because you deserve recognition and more. This might not be as fancy or as exciting as you might want it to be, but I promise, my heart did a funny thing in my chest as I wrote this.

I’m going to start with a few people for today ✨

Roses are red, violets are blue, this writer’s words, I’m excited to get through. (I’m not a poet, forgive me..). I want to let you know that I love your pieces that I’ve read, you never hesitate to share your church notes with us and I love it. Your faith is strong and your hope is unshaken. I might not have the right words to pour out what I really have in my heart, but my heart screams: God bless you. xo.

On the topic of faith and Christianity, I’d love to say, you inspire me to be more. Your notes and letters depicts; “I’m a true Christian and I’m proud of Jesus” I love your works because you pen down truth. I love to read them because you literally don’t hide what you have inside. You’re like that big aunty that advices her nieces and nephews the way to go. I pray that the lord continues to use you immensely. Congratulations on your admission again, you deserve it. xo.

Hii! Stylishly putting this out here (how long have you been writing for?) This question has been on my mind for a while now. I can’t help but wonder because you write like someone that has undergone a lot of training for writing. If I ask you, you probably didn’t even undergo any training, you’re just naturally gifted. Your writing, raw and deep. Your expression, properly laid out. Your messages, intentionally passed across. Random blonded boy, when’s the next letter coming up?

My first reader! How’re you today? How’s that injury? I hope it has healed? You’re always the first one to read and like my letters and I love it. You don’t hesitate to comment your thoughts. I want to let you know (if you’ve not been told already) that you’re wise, brilliant and above all a really good writer. I don’t wish for the day you announce that you’ve stopped writing.

My darling! It’s been a while, I hope you’re good? You’ve always been encouraging me since day one for real and it’s so heart warming. When I dropped my first episode on JC, your words prompted me to do more. You might not know this, but you were part of the reason I dropped the next episodes. You deserve more than flowers. Love you. xo.

Hi love. I wanted to let you know that you inspire me too. Note that I’m not just saying this to warm your heart but because I actually do mean it. You inspired me during my JC series as well, your words meant a lot during that period. You always restack my posts and they mean everything to me. Keep being that very bright light that you are, darling. xo.

My girl! So unique and so beautiful too. Otutu Oma (I hope I got that right). You embrace every good thing around you and never forget to let someone know when they’re doing a good thing. Your personality is top notch as well and I love your Igbo too! The first time I stumbled upon your video, I loved how real you were at that very point in time. Carry on with your letters and carry on with your jovial personality, they would all take you places. xo

I hope your mood brightens more when you read this. One thing that stuck out was your letter. “The painfulness of love” was that letter that made me go “I wonder if writing just comes naturally for him” That piece was something and everything.

My girl! Hi! Thank you so much for your comments, reads and everything in between. I started with an appreciation because you really do brighten up my day with those letters and notes of yours. You’re truly lovely. I won’t stop telling you, every chance I get okay? xo.

You might not see this but, when was the first time you realized you could pour out your thoughts on paper? I bless the day you finally found out. I might not have followed your journey from the very beginning, but what I followed attentively was your passion and drive for a better ‘You’. I love how you embrace that Tobe that can stand in front of a camera boldly, I love that Tobe that can draw smiles from people’s faces with just the tip of his fingers and I love that Tobe that keeps going.

My darling, I didn’t notice immediately when you recommended me on your Substack. When I did though, I felt absolutely awed. You’re the best! Thank you for your engagements and your humility. Don’t stop being that self of yours. xo

My inspiration, I love how you always make me feel like that best writer, that everyone wants her signature on their bodies. You make me feel like I can get there one day. You’ll get there too, just so you know. You make me want to do more than I bargain and don’t worry it’s a good thing. xo

I didn’t add xo at the end of the guys’ part because I don’t want your girlfriends to come at me, Please I’m fragile lol.

This is not the end, there are still a lot of people to commend, I currently need to head to class. But for now, have your flowers. ✨✨
