On today’s episode of why I second guess my career choice sometimes. Especially in Nigeria 🤦🏾♀️.I woke up and saw a post that was made about a head chef needed at a restaurant in abj. I’m in abj at the moment so I said let me give it a shot.The response wasn’t shocking at all 👇🏽
What’s one thing adulthood has taught you that nobody could have prepared you for?
Not the usual “life is hard” answer. I want the kind of lesson that changed how you see people, money, friendship, love, or even yourself.
One of the things I appreciate most about getting older is becoming increasingly honest with myself about what I can accept, what I can work through, and what I will no longer tolerate.
"you handled that so well" no, i didn't. i went insane. i lost my spark. i suffered in silence. i didn't ask for help. i shattered alone and wore a smile that lied better than any mask could. i didn't handle it, i survived it because i had no other choice.
A woman can calmly explain ten times that something makes her uncomfortable. Then, on the eleventh time, she snaps. And the man will only remember the eleventh time. For some reason, the first ten don’t make it into the male version of the story.
I’ve survived versions of myself I thought would never make it. That’s why I don’t panic when life gets hard. I’ve been broken before and still rebuilt. I know I can do it again.
But beyond all the achievements, I pray that you are okay. That you are happy, safe, loved, held and surrounded by people who pour into you as much as you pour into everyone else. I pray that life is gentle with you.
“you didn't have to react like that.” probably. and you didn't have to create the situation either. somehow my response became the only department under investigation.
Don’t stop believing that God writes the most beautiful stories. Not every story will look the same, & that’s exactly what makes life beautiful and exciting. There’s no need to compare your timing, life or love story to others. Keep trusting your own path. God is working for you
Grateful for the kind of friendship that involves you in every stage of their lives.
“Babe, I’m relocating” “Guy he proposed!” “I’m getting married” Etc.
They didn’t just give you the title “friend,” but trusted you with their firsts and that kind of friendship is so precious.
