Hello everyone, it's nice to be here. I'm Ifeoluwa from Nigeria, an undergraduate student of Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife. Currently studying English and Education. I'm a poet, journalist, hair stylist and a baker.
MY INTERESTS.
Well, growing up, I wasn't a poetry person. It looked like magic to me and I don't always seem to make sense of any poem I came across. But, after my big breakup with my boyfriend, I discovered my hidden talent. I started writing poems, within five minutes I was done. The first day I wrote a poem, I was brooding about my broken relationship and I didn't realize when I started writing on a book. After I was done brooding, I looked down and saw that I've written something, not one but two poems in five minutes. And since then, my love for poetry continues to grow.
I'm an animal lover. Yay. My favorite is Dogs. They are my friends. Since I started keeping dogs, I take care of them and speak to them like human. I believe they can hear me and understand my pains. My dogs don't like seeing me sad, they make sure they keep me happy. I think so far, I've kept almost ten dogs, I don't have them all now, they keep dying at some stage. Their deaths hurt me, a lot.
I currently have one dog now, he is Oreo. Very sweet and stubborn. He loves running and chasing me all over the house. A sweet soul, he is. He derives pleasure from hunting lizards and rats,he's a good Hunter.
I also have a Monkey, Banda is his name. Banda is surprisingly a funny animal and wild,too. When he gets angry, he bites anything in sight.
MY HOBBIES.
I like cooking and baking, it's one of the things I love most. Baking spreads cheers and Happiness to my system,no matter how tedious the job may be. Once, it's about cake, I love the stress and creativity that comes with it. I love giving free recipes,too.
My favorite Ice cream flavour is chocolate, so I love taking Ice creams. I love anything chocolate, it makes me happy. I also love reading a lot, especially old novels. I love taking in the old, beautiful scent of ancient books while I tenderly open the pages without hurting them. So, chocolate plus Old novels gives me butterflies in my belly. Listening to music is one of the things I love to do. I love listening to foreign songs to develop my listening and speaking skills. British movies are one of my best, the fluency and accuracy makes me love them.
Then, I watch Indian and Spanish movies,too. Cause I love listening to foreign languages, I've learned some,too. I even play some Indian songs on my phone and twist my body to the melodious tune. I love Horror movies, I can't wait to share some with you all.
HOW I STARTED WRITING
I got inspiration for writing stories through Letter writing both in and outside school. I was a member of REFLECTION CREW back in Secondary School, led by a corper then. Reflection crew is all about journalism. Reflection crew developed my writing skills and knowledge.
In 2019, I gained admission into Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife and currently, I work as a journalist and poet at the The InFocus News Agency in my Faculty.
MY EXPECTATIONS.
Here on Hive, I look forward to widening my horizon, and sharpen my writing skills. I want to be able to harness my writing prowess. And to spread my cheers to all. We all have one or two hidden talents in us, we just need a big kick to realize who we are. I strongly believe no one is useless, you just haven't discovered what you can do yet.
To the community, I can't wait to influence you guys positively with my positive energy and share my knowledge with others. Thanks to my friend @Royaldiadem for inviting to this great family.
