Category: MY SOCIAL LIFE

We are narrative in progress

Till our last breath

A thorough account of my life embodies the essence of a regular life; yet, it unfolds as an ongoing narrative. My childhood, education, job, relationships, beliefs, and pivotal life events can inspire those who look up to me and evoke complex feelings in those who do not. Beauty, as they say, is in the eyes of the beholder, and this holds. What would my biography be? I ask myself a second time 

We can only get better

This question has ignited a deep reflection on my life’s journey. My thoughts both support and challenge me. I recall the highs and lows, the victories and the lessons. Life is a mirror that reflects whatever we present, but the true mirror lies in our thoughts, behaviors, beliefs, and connections with others. Many would write positively about themselves if given the chance to recount their stories. My biography would be marked by strength, perseverance, mistakes, victories, and success; yet, my personality shapes who I am, while my attitude reflects the influence of those around me. However irrespective of how high we hold of ourselves we can not be invisible to the world around us. Our motive is to get better in our endeavors nevertheless we are a narrative in progress till the last breath.

Reasons for your name:

Write about your first name: its meaning, significance, etymology, etc.

Funniest thing about my name

It never occurred to me to write about my name before now. Thanks to Prompt for bringing this to my attention. Regarding my background beliefs, origins, and ancestry. A name is more than just a mark of identification; it also represents history, lineage, beliefs, circumstances, and, to some extent, expectations . Igbo people attach numerous aspects to their children’s names and take them seriously since they believe they have the potential to manifest in their lives. The meaning of a name’s etymology varies among individuals. My name is broken into three halves, and I answer to whichever one is called. It’s pronounced Obianujunwa. Many people call me Ujunwa, although few call me Uju. I prefer the last one because it’s short, sexy, and profound. 😁

Uju

Igbo names, as I mentioned before, are related to the situation at the time of birth or event, which may be past, present, or future. superstitions, beliefs, experience etc. Obianuju translates to “born amid plenty.” Nwa stands for children. When you combine these factors, you are born into a family full of children; in fact, I am my parents’ seventh child. You can now see why the name was chosen. 😁 Although it’s considered a feminine name, some people have male children named Obianju, much like me. In any case, their motivation can differ from my parents’.

My close family and close friends name me Uju, which means plenty. The funniest thing about my name is that when I’m called in public, people occasionally question me why I go by it since they think I’m a man rather than a woman.
