I Just Want To Say - Thank You

I got clarity on specific issues in my life. I had a very long conversation that's been difficult for me to have for a while now, I found out more about my friends, I attended GT fashion show and I could be myself. There were too many things to distract people from Adekunle from BBN and it was refreshing. Even though towards the end, I met some amazing supporters.

I attended my first fashion show and I LOVED IT. I ate a lot of good food. I was able to support my friends' businesses. (You guys won't understand how much this means to me). I met BISOLA!!!!! and someone else I will leave as a very cool and supportive guy for now. You can call him Mr. O. Ultimately, I could see how my presence just made different people light up and I must say, it was a good feeling to take in. I don't usually allow myself to enjoy these moments, but yesterday was different.

My heart is full of gratitude, and slight satisfaction of self and my heart is at peace. Someone close to me always asks me this question and I never have an answer. Today, I have an answer and e sweet me die.

I've had the best, and most significant growth since I came out of the house, and it's been completely overwhelming. There would never be a time when saying thank you to the Islanders would ever be enough. I came out of the house thinking I'd have to navigate this space alone and Islanders said. No! We got you!

There have been good days, and there have been bad days. There have been days when I just want all the noise to quiet down. Then I remember there's a whole community of people who are constantly rooting for me, and I promise you that's the major motivation I need. There are people who are there for me behind the scenes constantly, who ensure that I try to get things right and I don't disappoint myself and my supporters along the way. I want to say thank you so much!

There are people who I don't know personally that take time out from their busy schedules to pray for me. Thank you so much.

There are people who constantly look out for me even when I'm not looking out for myself. You guys are awesome, thank you.

There are people who aren't speaking to me anymore because I'm famous now. People who I used to be close to. I came out of the house and they had expectations. They supported me when I was in the house and are slighted I'm not reaching out to them. In whatever way I have wronged you, I apologize sincerely. Fame does bring out the truth in so many situations. It might not happen immediately but eventually, it will happen. But for the times when you were there for me, I say thank you. From the depth of my heart.

Truth is, there is no template for being famous. Especially when you're known in so many countries. And for us, well, me, it happened overnight. One minute I'm on my phone and people don't know me. The next minute I get my phone back and boom, I'm trending every day. Navigating this new space will take a while. It's only been a few weeks since I've been out of the house and I can confidently tell you, it might take a few extra weeks, might be longer before I fully find my balance.

Nonetheless, again, I do want to say thank you. 

Thank you to everyone that deemed me worthy of their support. When I was in the house and now that I'm out. For when I was strong and for when I was weak. For when I made you all proud and for when I messed up as well. I'm still human regardless. And you know what the highlight is, I genuinely love all of you. Just scream I love you anywhere you see me, and I'm screaming it right back at you.

I went into the house, a smaller setting looking for friends, errr.. it didn't quite happen as expected, but then, I come out and I'm welcomed by a family. If there's anything I'm grateful for about my experience on the show; it's the family I came out to meet. THE ISLANDERS !!!!!!!

I can't promise you that I'll be perfect all through. I'm also still in a learning phase. I'm pretty sure, I'm going to be here for a while longer. But the one thing I will promise you is that I'm not going to disappoint you ... intentionally. LOL.

Until my next newsletter when we speak again.

Love and appreciation,
