The Story So Far

Who I Am, What I Do and How It All Fits Together

Hi Guys

๐Ÿ“’ Utibe here โ€” or Utie (like cutie, without the c ๐Ÿ˜‰)

This site is my little space to figure myself out, document the things I love, and share my creative chaos.

๐ŸŽ“ I studied Industrial Physics (BSc + MSc) at Covenant University and now teach there.

๐Ÿ“Œ But titles aside โ€” Iโ€™m still learning who I am, beyond the academic structure. This site is me putting the pieces together.

Creating, Crafting, Escaping

๐ŸŽจ Iโ€™ve always been drawn to making things from scratch โ€” from journaling to beading and hair braiding..

๐Ÿ’Ž I made my first bead bag in JSS3 for a Fine Arts project. Dropped it, picked it up, dropped it again โ€” but I always return.

๐Ÿฅ Anime found me in 2016 during my first year in uni (big ups to Ekene!).

๐Ÿ“š Since then, itโ€™s been manga, manhwa, and the occasional K-drama โ€” but anime is where I feel most at home.

Random factoids (because why not)

I hoard notebooks but rarely know what to write in them

I get second-hand embarrassment when reading fictional books. I literally have to stop reading to compose myself like itโ€™s happening to me.

My watchlist is longer than my attention span, but somehow I make it work

Iโ€™m a sub girlie, miss with that dub. Thatโ€™s just me

I started learning Japanese (Duolingo โ†’ LingoDeer) and thenโ€ฆ life

Iโ€™ve been obsessed with EPIC: The Musical for over a year โ€” and still get hyped every time a song shows up in my shuffle. No skips. Ever.

I wrote a story based on my crush and his girlfriend โ€” I thought I was subtle. I wasnโ€™t.

I choreograph fake music videos while cooking.

I randomly remember cringey things I did years ago and flinch like I just got slapped

I rewatch anime so much that I can envision entire scenes in my head when only hearing the audio

I think about conversations that never happened… in great detail.

I often pause anime just to read manga… then jump to a book, then back again

For a long time, I felt like I lost the imaginative spark that made writing so fulfilling.

 

This entire site is a way of trying to find that spark again. Itโ€™s a space for growth, for play, for collecting pieces of myself. Thanks for stopping by. I hope this site reflects who I am โ€” and who Iโ€™m becoming.
