@Bunmie_oguns This happens to me anytime I do market runs ..The last time I went to CMS , I nearly fainted so I just had to sit somewhere and eat something..
@Uzuakoliii How would work for over 35 years of their lives and at the end of the day they are being owed and don't get paid until they die.. Nigeria is a mess for real.
@Uzuakoliii My father retired in 2015 and since then no gratuity was paid to him.. he kept believing he would get his gratuity in his lifetime but unfortunately 3 months ago he died without reaping what he worked for .. We need to do better
Luxury is not about owning expensive things. True luxury is a calm mind, a healthy body, and a life free from drama. You can wear a Rolex gold watch and still be a slave to your stress; or, you can wear a simple Casio plastic watch and be the master of your time. Choose the kind of wealth that actually makes your life better
Done being a perfectionist and ruminating over conversations from the past, wondering if what I said was harsh or confusing or if I rambled on. People don’t hear me the way I critique myself so harshly. The right ones accept me flaws and all. Just as I accept them. What a concept!🖤
I've reached a place in my life where I've stopped trying to be interesting. Cool. Smart. Whatever. Stopped collecting experiences to talk about. Stopped reading things to sound smart. Stopped having opinions I don't actually have. Stopped pretending to care about things I don't care about. It took years to get here. Because the world says be interesting. Be fun. Be loud. Be someone people want around. So you perform. Until one day you're sitting somewhere surrounded by people and you feel completely, utterly hollow. Because none of it was you. And something inside finally whispers: enough. You stop performing. You slow down. You become more present. More honest. More still. You say less. But what you say is real. And you realize the most interesting people aren’t trying to be interesting. They don't give a shit. They’re just fully, unapologetically themselves.
Reciprocity is not too much.
Care is not supposed to be one-sided forever.
Needing support does not reduce your value.
You are not less strong for wanting what you freely offer others.
You are simply human.
That is the part many people forget until life forces them to remember.
We praise giving more than receiving, until it starts to feel normal to run on empty. But needing care, time, and support is not weakness. It is balance. What you offer others is not too much to ask for in return.
8/ Unnamed grief does not go away because we do not name it.
It goes underground. It shows up in why we pull away from people. In why we feel sad with no explanation. In why we keep our hearts at a distance.
It lives in us until we give it space.
