@jon_d_doe If you like go on playing I love you talk your own and go back to him . You will see shege with that choice. Listen to what Agba advised. You should have left that relationship a long time ago. Beating you, trying to make you overcompensate for his fears and worse still, is red
The wait is over.

Dear men,
It impresses upon my soul to write to you.
This writing is inspired by my consumption of a lot of Diogenes' work but one quote of his that massively influenced my value system, reads:
"It is the privilege of the gods to want nothing, and of godlike men to want little".
It imprinted upon my soul for a long time, especially as someone that's ambitious.
Friends, verily I say unto you:
Ambition is good but nothing is more frustrating to a man that for him to exist at the edge of a precipice where there are more factors out of his control, than within his control.
Endless chase in ambition without a defined scope is outside your control & with every season you have a new high to chase without a moment to enjoy where you are.
It becomes easy to discard your present as a valley as you glare at a new high, forgetting that your current valley used to be a mountaintop you aspired to.
I guess the point I'm trying to make is, have a number in mind. Especially as an ambitious person, have a number in mind.
The endless pursuit of ambition will leave you with a hollow soul. It will strip you of the beauty of momentary happiness, satisfaction of wins & incredible undervaluation of how far you've come.
As a young hustling man, it is important that you define what happiness and success looks like for you, and to do so early on.
The ultimate question now becomes:
Are you in control of your dreams? Or are your dreams in control of you?
The answer to this question is a predictor of your future happiness or lack thereof.
I hope my writing found you well.
As you were.
At a Point, I was begging a descendant of the Lebanese community in Nigeria to loop me into their network and business community... That's how much I realized the power of community and collaboration in how the Indians, Chinese, Lebanese do business. Unfortunately, outsiders are not allowed. They will rather import yet another member of their race than allow what I proposed.
To grow, the black man has to understand how to do serious things together.
