Hey everyone
I'm so sorry i went MIA snd kept my quick intro on hold!
My name is Nwaiwu Peculiarsuccess Chika. I'm currently a 300 level student at the Rivers state university of science and technology in Nigeria, studying Human Anatomy. I'm the fourth child of five children and come from the Igbo ethnic group in imo state.
I love writing and beading. Writing has always been my passion; it was my comfort zone whenever I felt down. I’ve always had words forming in my head, making sense, and bringing me peace. It’s something I want to build on, improve at, and eventually make money from. Writing brings me so much happiness, and I don't think I’ll ever put down my pen.
Beading started as just a fun hobby, but I soon realized I could make a business out of it to earn some extra money. My brand RUBEADS was birthed and It’s been a wonderful experience so far! I love the creativity involved in beading —taking beads and crafting beautiful designs out of nothing. The joy I feel when someone appreciates my work enough to buy it is incredible.
Growing a business hasn’t been easy. There are moments of frustration when I feel like giving up, but I keep pushing, knowing that success is on the horizon. It’s hard work—frustrating, tedious, exhausting—but I’m constantly pushing myself to get better. I’m not where I started, and for that, I am grateful. All I see is growth, tremendous growth and I know it will only get better.
Here are some of my designs:
Outside of writing and beading, I enjoy reading novels, listening to music, singing, and watching movies.
A fun fact about life: as you get older, reality hits harder. Life isn't always as fun and innocent as it seemed before; your views and beliefs start changing. What you once knew often shifts. Reality keeps giving us new lessons, and every day we learn something fresh. Life can be funny, and karma can be harsh, but it’s essential to stay positive. Embrace the good, let go of the bad, and focus on your goals. Only when we achieve them do we find the true meaning of life.
I’ve learned to live for myself despite the ups and downs, and I’ve learned to love myself. Every reality check makes me stronger and helps me move forward. I know I’m a flawed being and will never be perfect, but those imperfections make me beautiful because, within them, I create life.
