Hello people, It’s @otidi here. Trust you guys have been really good and living your best lives out there. I sure had a great day. I woke up with so much energy and, without wasting time, I prepared for work and hit the road.

By the time I got to my usual spot where I take a bike, life was already in motion—everyone was out, going about their business.

I met my lady at the junction, and we walked and talked together to the next junction before I finally got a bike. I like talking to her because, for a moment, the world seems to stand still when I’m with her—it’s peaceful.

Meeting my favourite human

When I got to the shop, I cleaned up and got seated, and I didn’t spend much time alone before customers started coming in, in good numbers. And here’s what really made my day. A lady came in to do a CV. Somehow, we got talking—I mean, it’s what I do with my customers. We gist in the most comfortable way. I don’t even know how I do it, but people feel comfortable around me, which is more like my superpower.

The conversation centered around marriage, love, and relationships. The emotions were everywhere as she spoke. She’s one of those amazing humans who weren’t lucky enough to escape that teenage stage where you just want to try everything—she had a child outside wedlock, and it’s been tough for her dealing with the reality of that path.

We talked, and honestly, it was one of the best conversations. Her last words before she left the shop were, “Thank you so much, I am grateful.” It was sincere, from a place of relief. I understood her, and I made sure she saw life differently. That moment made my day, and I’m truly grateful to God for bringing her my way.
It didn’t stop there. In a way, she helped me rediscover something I had long lost—the reason to live. Her reason to live gave me mine. It’s inspiring how much she holds on because of her child, and in that conversation, I found a part of myself again. I believe she’ll be in a better place soon. I know that.
So much happened during the day, but that stood out the most. I also did a quick graphic design for my lady—she has a job to deliver souvenir bags, and as usual, I’m her go-to guy for anything graphics and printing. I couldn’t get the printing done today because I had customers till a few minutes past 6pm.

was getting dark when I closed

I closed, took a bike home, then met my lady to discuss something. We branched at a suya spot and got some suya. Later, I got home and had a little talk on my WhatsApp status with my WhatsApp family—it was a moment of reconnection for me. I found a lost part of myself, something that left with the loss of my sister and mom.

I feel like I’ve gotten my life back, and I’m trying to build from here. Today is one of those days I truly appreciate God for. I found EDDY JOSH again. I’m taking on a 500 sales in 30 days challenge, getting back into social media automation, and I’m finally back online after a very long time. It feels like grace.

My day was great, guys.
I hope yours was too.

Catch you all later.
Bye.
