Everyone points to Ye or Killin Dem as Burna Boy's turning point. They're wrong. It was Pree Me. It sounds like the stirring of a giant after a slump. It is the resurrection after his bad sophomore album.
At what point does it dawn on you that you’re wasting your life?
After many senseless Ronaldo vs Messi fanatical arguments, you are now trolling their children.
A grown man hating on Ronaldo's son or Messi's son. The madness is worse when it comes to musicians. There are adults taking turns to hate Wizkid's son for being a 'mid' artiste.
When are you going to live your life?
True alchemists know you just gotta lean into your inner chaos in order to conjure something new. This is why people stuck in chronic avoidance also suffer for prolonged periods. There is no reward for avoiding yourself.
I know a number of people who didn’t marry their “spec” but are in the healthiest marriages I know. Their spec was typically whatever was culturally deemed to be at the apex of the attractiveness pyramid when they were growing up. For a lot of guys in my generation, it was the music video “vixens” from the late 90s/early 2000s Hip & R&B music videos with ‘coke bottle figures’ and or light skinned eurocentric features. When it’s time to find a partner for the very serious endeavor of sharing a life with, that “spec” is simply inadequate as a measure of compatibility and that’s understandable. The foolishness though is communicating it as though their partner somehow didn’t measure up to their “spec” instead of simply admitting that the idea of their spec was stupid all along and a young boy’s lack of wisdom of what makes a good life partner.
Communicating publicly or even privately to your partner that they weren’t your spec to begin with may seem harmless, after-all you’re just being honest. But subconsciously, it’s an ego trip for you who “settled” and for your the partner, it’s a chip they will always carry on their shoulder that to you, they aren’t quite enough. They’re missing something you had always longed for, so much so that you still consider it to be your “spec”. It’s an unnecessary mind fuck and a cruel thing to say about somebody who is sharing a life with you. No matter how flowery you are with the compliments that come after. You’ve already knocked them down several pegs.
If the point is to say your spec changed then talk about the stupidity of having a spec to begin with. Because I’ve never heard anyone in these situations talk about character attributes being their spec, it’s always superficial stuff. Or speak about how meeting your partner opened your eyes to what true beauty is. Speak in ways that elevate and affirm your partner.
If you’re an anxious person, just do everything for fun. Submit documents for fun. Start a blog for fun. Go to a job interview for fun. ANXIETY FEEDS ON IMPORTANCE. Do not make everything a matter of life and deaťh.
I think these taboos were a way for many ancient African societies to conserve nature. I’m sure that some species would have gone extinct if not for taboos like these. I think we do our indigenous civilizations a disservice by undermining their awareness of forest stewardship and environmental conservation.
I know this about Yoruba culture, for instance. Many taboos were simply ways to achieve a social goal. For example, when they said it was taboo to sit on a mortar because it could make you barren, it was really common sense: sitting on a mortar was unhygienic since it was used to prepare food.
Your African ancestors may have noticed a decline in the populations of many of these animals due to overhunting/overfishing and decided to establish a taboo to curb their further decline and encourage their preservation.

@Sports_Doctor2 Chelsea management said they weren’t aware of Maresca speaking to City associates and Orstein tweeted this; there’s something fishy going on but the BlueCo are at an advantage because Chelsea fans and others are buying it. Now there’s an excuse for their incompetence.
