[The girl who dared to dream]

My name is Adesua!
Adetiba Adesua, and I?
Am a Nigerian. Living the life of your basic shut in.

So here's the thing. Growing up, I'd been extremely sheltered. I never went were I wasn't supposed to. I stayed were my parents kept me, and I basically allowed myself to be swallowed up by the vast sea of solitude, tide crashing from within my being. I was...better off on my own. And It wasn't as if I had many friends to begin with.

O...okay. So, I didn't have ANY friends at all. It's just, making them was too hard! Seriously, Disney movies make it seem so easy. I'm starting to think maybe they were all high on 'Walticide'.

Cause apparently “The power of friendship will light the way!” Yeah well, sorry Sophia. Tell me something new whenever you make into highschool.

I didn't even like the thought of going to school sef. I mean what was the point? My grades were..Ehn, let's leave that one.

I couldn't mingle with anybody. If people try approaching me I zone off Just to avoid attention.

Basically?

'People' No, no!

Me, myself and I?
Yes, yes!

It was sad to see, but it was the Truth.

Now, notice how I've been using past tense? Yeah. That's because. That part of me? It's all in the past. I'm better now. Way better. Even so, it wouldn't be nice to start of from were my character development had reached its peak.

How'bout we take it one chapter at a time?

Fair warning. This is not the story of an average girl in search of validation. This is the story of a girl who dared to dream. And the journey showed me things I never knew I'd see.

For my 9ja peeps out there.

My Eye See Shege!
