My 18th birthday photoshoot

I did it guys. I made it to 18!!!
I’M NOW 18 YEARS OLD!!!
An official adult!
I’m old enough to go to jail.... wait, that’s a terrible thing.
The 21st of December (which was my birthday, in case you don’t know) was a blast! I didn’t meet up with people. No one came over. But the amount of love people showed me that day…. It’s unexplainable.
Right from 12 a.m. (!!!), my phone had been buzzing with calls and notifications of posts about me all through Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp. It was crazy because I really tend to avoid conversations with people online. I make up excuses about why I can’t come over or why I need to end the conversation or why we can’t meet up.
But these people STILL hyped me all through the day. Even after the posts, prayers and birthday wishes, some still regularly checked up on me to see how I was doing and if my day was going great.
It was heartwarming, really.
I took a LOT of pictures that day. With the help of Adeolu, my little brother, I took some bomb-ass photos that I definitely want to share here right now.

Those pics were from the morning and noon.
When it was evening, at about 3;20 p.m. or so, dad and I went to a studio and I had pictures professionally taken.












Let me tell you, I love myself in all the photos but I feel like more could have been done to make the pictures better in terms of lighting and the background color. I’m not a fan of all this green.

I posted some of these pictures on my Instagram page and my phone has been buzzing with likes all day.
It was a great day. I still can’t believe I’m 18.
An adult!
It’s a whole new world out there. But I’ll face it.
One step at a time.
