When my husband and I were dating, he used to do something that annoyed me so much.
Every time I told him I was going to sleep, he would say, “Okay, goodnight, I love you.”
Then, about five minutes later, he would send another message.
“Are you asleep?”
At first, I thought he was just being clingy. Sometimes I was genuinely tired, and I hated having to pick up my phone again after saying goodnight.
One night, I finally asked him, “Why do you always ask if I’m asleep after I’ve already told you I’m going to bed?”
He said, “I don’t know. I just like talking to you.”
I laughed and told him, “But we talk every day. We can’t talk all night.”
He replied, “I know. Goodnight, then.”
For the next few days, he stopped sending those extra messages. I thought he had finally understood.
Then one night, I had a terrible day. Everything went wrong at work, I was overwhelmed, and I couldn’t stop crying. I called him around midnight, expecting him to be asleep.
Today, I received the three-year report from the Independent Commission for Peace and National Cohesion, @icpncsl.
I commended the commission for their progress in addressing issues that foster peace and national cohesion. I also reaffirmed my commitment to peace and assured them of my continued support.
A warm welcome from the Paramount Chief of Gbanti.
Useful to hear how Chiefs and local government are working collaboratively together. A good discussion on our shared interests including tackling climate change and increasing political tolerance.
