Advice
I have decided to write a memoir.
I never thought I would really write a book. I have dreamt of it time and time again but did not think it would ever happen. I thought the reality was that I would want to do it but I would never in a million years actually start it. After all, my perfectionism is out of hand. Eight years of therapy and I still have no grasp on it. If that much therapy is unable to help it, what will? Well, I received that answer today when checking my email. I asked a published author of an amazing book for some tips. (The book and author I am referring to is View from the Floor by Kate Berger, in case anyone is interested.)

The G.O.A.T. of Football
In the quiet village of Soccerdale, nestled between rolling hills and lush meadows, lived a most unusual hero – Leo, the Goat of Football. While the world celebrated human football players as the "Greatest of All Time," in Soccerdale, the term took on a whole new meaning. Leo was no ordinary goat. Born with an uncanny ability to control a football with his hooves, he captured the hearts of the village at a young age. Children and adults alike would gather on the village green to watch Leo weave his magic. His dribbling skills were mesmerizing, his passes pinpoint accurate, and his shots on goal were simply awe-inspiring. Word of Leo's extraordinary talents spread beyond Soccerdale, eventually reaching the ears of the famous football coach, Coach Rodriguez. Intrigued by the stories, Coach Rodriguez decided to pay a visit to the village. Upon witnessing Leo's incredible skills, the coach saw potential that extended far beyond mere amusement. He proposed an audacious idea to the villagers – to have Leo play alongside human players in the upcoming regional football championship. The villagers were skeptical at first, but Coach Rodriguez's determination and conviction won them over. Leo, equipped with a specially designed jersey and hoof-friendly football, embarked on a journey that would forever change his life and the village of Soccerdale. As the championship approached, Leo trained tirelessly alongside his human teammates. They learned to communicate through a series of whistles and gestures, and Leo's unique perspective on the game added a new dimension to their strategy. The sight of Leo weaving through cones during practice sessions, the football dancing at his hooves, was a sight to behold. The day of the championship arrived, and the Soccerdale team took the field. Spectators from across the region were curious to witness the village with the "football-playing goat." The opposing teams were amused, believing that Leo's inclusion was a mere gimmick. However, as the game began, Leo proved that he was no gimmick. His agility, control, and innate understanding of the game left the opposition befuddled. He passed, he dribbled, and he even scored a goal, sending the crowd into a frenzy. The once-skeptical villagers cheered louder than ever before, their belief in Leo's abilities solidified. Match after match, Leo's prowess continued to shine. The Soccerdale team, led by their goat captain, advanced to the finals. Yet, they faced their most challenging opponent yet – the seasoned professionals of the neighboring town, Riverside. The finals were a rollercoaster of emotions. Riverside skilled players put up a fierce fight, testing Leo and his teammates to their limits. The game was tied as the clock ticked down to its final minutes. Then, in a moment of pure brilliance, Leo executed an audacious move – a bicycle kick from the edge of the penalty area. The ball sailed through the air, defying all odds, and nestled into the top corner of the net. The stadium erupted in a symphony of cheers as Soccerdale emerged victorious. The village that had once been known for its picturesque landscape was now synonymous with Leo, the G.O.A.T. of Football. Leo's incredible journey had not only redefined what it meant to be a football player but also demonstrated the power of determination, teamwork, and the unexpected. Leo's legacy lived on, inspiring generations to come. Soccerdale became a haven for aspiring football players, and the story of the goat who defied conventions became a tale shared across the world. And as for Leo, he continued to play the sport he loved, not as a mere curiosity, but as a symbol of the limitless possibilities that lie within every individual, regardless of their shape or species.

The power of positivity
It is impossible to overstate the value of positivity in a world that frequently seems to be ruled by negativity. It is a force with the capacity to change people's lives, boost their spirits, and spread joy. Positivity is a way of life and a philosophy that can result in significant change rather than just making you smile all the time.

Whisper in the Sand
Once upon a time, in a small coastal village, lived a young boy named Liam. Liam was unlike the other children in the village; he had an extraordinary fascination with sand. His eyes would light up whenever he saw the vast expanse of the beach covered in glistening grains of golden sand.

The Power Of Poetry And Prose
Introduction I was out walking, as I usually do each day, and started thinking about whether it is better to write poetry or prose when creating something that may be fictional or observations on defined things like people, places, pets and more.

Nigerian Media Landscape
In a bold shift, Nigerian youths are revolutionizing the nation's media landscape, reclaiming the narrative from traditional news outlets accused of distorting facts. This surge comes as a response to concerns that mainstream media has been influenced by powerful interests, contributing to societal challenges. Under the wave of truth and accuracy, the younger generation is challenging the norm of misinformation. They're harnessing the power of social media and real-time communication to provide accurate updates and reports, empowering citizens with the information they need. Amidst the growing disagreement, critics point to a history of media outlets sugar-coating the news and ignoring pressing issues. This has led to a collective skepticism (doubt or distrust) about media's integrity. Some argue that these outlets have become an arm of the elite, prioritizing their interests over objective journalism. While the media is in the spotlight, it's essential to recognize the dual challenges they face. Not only do they confront government restrictions that limit their ability to report freely, but economic instability within the industry also poses significant hurdles. Balancing their responsibility to deliver unbiased news with job security has become a tightrope walk for many journalists. The prevailing sentiment among the youth is that the Nigerian society's transformation hinges on their own actions. They're taking the lead to reshape the nation's future by advocating for a transparent and unbiased press. This, they believe, will contribute to a more informed public, better equipped to make critical decisions for their country. Ironically, those championing press freedom today could find themselves targeted in the future. This serves as a reminder that safeguarding media independence is an ongoing effort, requiring vigilance and unity. In a landscape characterized by the push and pull of power dynamics, the Nigerian youth's determination to secure a reliable and unbiased media is a testament to their commitment to positive change. The struggle for media freedom is just one piece of the larger puzzle they are piecing together in their quest for a more equitable society.

A Funny Idea I had Recently
So I have read a fair few hundred books in my time, thousands, millions, every book written so I think I am the most valuable source of information on good and terrible books. No, I’m just kidding. But I do love to sit and read a book with a cup of coffee every now and then. So I have read loads of books and I have furtherly enjoyed some more than others. But that is how it goes for the general reader, you have your favourite genres, writers and tropes. For me…personally… It's a dystopian future book that has my heart, or a fantasy world where you need to go on a dangerous adventure to save the world, anything with magic that makes me so absorbed in the book I feel like the main character and if I’m feeling frisky you can’t go wrong with a spicy enemies to lovers romance trope.
