When I had to spend an extra year in university because I was irresponsible, I called my dad to inform him.
The sadness in his voice made me fully realize something I had never quite understood before:
Your life is not yours alone.
Your life also belongs, in a sense, to the people who genuinely love and care about you — your family and friends who want the best for you.
Your choices do not affect only you. They affect the people who love you, too. Your mistakes can become their pain, your failures can become their worries, and your successes can become their joy.
We owe ourselves the responsibility to live well, not only for our own sake, but also for the people whose hearts are invested in our lives.
A woman shares how she confidently slid into a man’s DM and asked him out. Few years later, they are married and blessed with two beautiful babies.
She now advises women to take charge, shoot their shot and ask men out. If he says no, chase him a little. If he still refuses, move on to the next man. 😂
Lady who was thanking God earlier for the type of man she married proceeded to limit comments after a mystery lady that she dared promised to drop evidence that her husband is unfaithful.
My father called me last week and said he needed 500,000 naira urgently. He promised to pay back. My father is a man of his word, so I disturbed my emergency funds and sent it.
Just yesterday, he called me to come to the house immediately. I grumbled because I was far away, but I rushed down.
He presented land documents to me.
He had bought my first land for 2.4 million naira, in my name. He just needed me to come and append my signature.
He said he never wanted that land to pass me by, so he used what he had and got the 500,000 naira balance from me without telling me why.
Then he said something that broke me:
"Since after your secondary education, I have never really had the privilege to gift you anything. You even sponsored yourself through school because I was incapable. This is my little gift to you."
I am finally a land owner. Courtesy of my loving Dad. ❤️
Above all, love God.
Dear God,
it’s me again.
I’ve seen better days before, and I know You can bring them back.
Restore my winning days, renew my strength, and let my life experience beautiful seasons again. 🙏
