Hi beauties and gents! It's an amazing week, and I have a story to share with my post. The Breakup Song by Francesca is one of my personal favorites, and I first discovered it about this time last year during my Industrial Training. I was far from my comfort zone and had no choice but to embrace the spontaneity, even though it was scary at first. After deciding to present this song this week, I rehearsed it several times. Guess what? My "faith"—or should I say "fear"—was tested.
After two days of singing this song at the top of my lungs, I saw a snake right outside my door! I had just walked back from seeing a friend off when I spotted it peeking out from a hole in the wall. I managed to open the small gate attached to the railings and ran inside. From the safety of my home, I kept watching as the snake would peek out and retreat back into the hole when it sights movement. We repeated this for a while until it finally stopped showing up.
I don’t like reptiles, and I’m absolutely terrified of snakes. I was alone at home, and I couldn’t sleep. My mind ran wild with thoughts of it sneaking in through the wall, into my bathroom, room, kitchen—even through the plumbing, maybe my water closet! It wasn’t a fun time—the paranoia was next level 😂😂. I eventually got some help to seal the hole and spent the next two days praying it wouldn't show up inside. Now, I feel comfortable in my house again because I know God is with me, and here I am, blasting away fear at the top of my voice once more.
I like to face my fears, but this was definitely not something I would have chosen to confront willingly. It was forced on me, but I’m better for it. If the snake shows up again, I know now that I’m brave enough to handle it—with wisdom.

Thank you for reading all the way through! One last thing: the promotional video was so much fun to make, and I’m grateful that this platform is pushing me out of my comfort zone and helping me grow. Great job @lordbutterfly, @silentscreamer, and the ever-versatile @verbal-d!
My post on X:
Sick and tired of being sick and tired
Had as much of you as I can take
I'm so done, so over being afraid
I've gone through the motions
I've been back and forth
I know that you're thinking you've heard this before
I don't know how to say it
So I'm just gonna say it, yeah
Fear, you don't own me
There ain't no room in this story
And I ain't got time for you
Telling me what I'm not
Like you know me, well guess what?
I know who I am
I know I'm strong
And I am free
Got my own identity
So fear, you will never be welcome here
Take a minute, let it settle in
You probably never saw it coming
Something's gotta give so I give up you, oh
There's no room for you here
Yeah, I've had enough
The no vacancy sign on my heart is lit up
In case you didn't hear it
Here it is again
Is there anybody out there just like me?
Anybody needing fear to leave?
If you don't know how to say it
Sing along with me
