today feels like one of those days where my creativity hit rock bottom
I've always wondered, as a creator, what should I watch or do for inspiration when I feel like this?
but I've noticed something about myself
I'm way more creative, motivated and locked in whenever I get paid
maybe money really is a creativity buff
is this a skill issue or are other creators like this too?
There is something deeply vain in wanting someone you no longer committed to, to remain affected by you. You do not want them back, you simply want their inability to recover to confirm that you were irreplaceable.
Their healing threatens the version of you that existed in their devotion, so you want to leave without becoming irrelevant.
It is the final selfishness of attachment, wanting freedom from someone while denying them freedom from you.
Shebi you can also see how you're doing yourself SMH 🤌🏽
I fucking love people who become more themselves with age. Stranger taste. Clearer boundaries. Louder laugh. Less interest in impressing random people. Watching somebody slowly stop auditioning for the world is fucking beautiful.
Tawakkul is tested after the outcome as much as before it. Before it, you trust Allah while taking the means. After it, you refuse to torture yourself with alternate histories in which one perfect decision would have escaped His decree.
Regret may correct negligence. It cannot renegotiate qadr.
The most difficult person to marry, befriend or do business with is someone answerable only to themselves, with no external accountability figure or anchor.
When conflict arises, they become the accused, witness and judge. Every correction can be dismissed as misunderstanding, envy or disrespect. Without anyone whose moral authority they recognise, accountability depends entirely on the(ier) very ego being questioned.
This is one reason good parents remain relevant long after financial dependence ends. They knew you before status could protect you and may retain the moral access to confront the adult you have become without needing your approval or usefulness.
We spend so much energy protecting ourselves from the pain of life, yet pain finds a way through every wall we build. Perhaps we're not meant to avoid it. Perhaps we're meant to transform it into wisdom, strength, and purpose.
Functional depression is real. You work, joke around, you show kindness, take care of people around you. But mentally you're drowning in your own thoughts but still smiling and nobody knows it
How will marriage carry you from Lagos to Igbo-Ora ke?
😂😭
You women need to be careful where you relocate to after marriage. If your future partner doesn’t have a better place of comfort for you, they should not drag you back.
Ya Allah, I'm struggling with my current situation, please grant me the ikhlas and patience i need, until i finally see why you arraged everything this way.🤍
protect your salah even when you don't feel spiritually 'on'. imaan has its highs and lows, but salah remains your obligation through both. don't let a temporary weakness in your heart become a permanent distance from Allah.
A woman has just given birth.
Everybody is happy. Then suddenly, she starts bleeding.
This is postpartum haemorrhage, and when it happens, no one has time to ask where the drug, tranexamic acid or TXA is.
That drug, Tranexamic acid can help reduce deaths from bleeding when it is given early after PPH starts.
So if a facility is providing emergency obstetric care, TXA should not be something they start looking for when the emergency has started.
It should be there.
As a man, if your wife is preparing to give birth, ask if the facility has TXA available. Same thing if you’re pregnant and preparing for delivery.
Ask questions. Know what is available.
Prepare before the emergency comes.
RT so that expectant mothers and fathers can see this very important message.
