Update your partner always. It's not a rule, It's a love language Your partner shouldn't guess where you are. They shouldn't wonder what you're doing. Updating them is not control. It's love. It says, "You matter. I want you to know."
People think grief is crying. But grief is waking up tired. Itโs forgetting words. Itโs being pulled into memories you didnโt ask to remember. Itโs holding back tears in the grocery store because a song or a scent brought them back. Grief isnโt just sadness, itโs the body remembering what the heart canโt let go of.
@BalogunAbass12 Active listening without the urge to fix. When you give your partner a safe space to be heard without judgment, you build a fortress of trust. Itโs the small, daily choice to stay curious about each other that keeps the flame from flickering out.
The more internal work you do on yourself, and yes it never ends; the less attractive being out there becomes.
You connect more honestly with yourself and with what your soul actually needs. Being around people who are still running away from themselves, no matter how much you love them, becomes less appealing . People stuck in denial, locked in their misfortunes, or caught up in the loop of performance, convinced that being impressive, hyper visible, or socially validated will somehow fix what they refuse to face exhausts you.
You begin to prefer your own company. Not because you think you are better, but because you no longer have the appetite for pretence or the need for trauma bonding. You look at others and think, I canโt wait for you to return to yourself.
The anger, shame and pain you carry can only be healed by you. The peace and restoration your soul longs for can only be activated by you. It is not found in expensive alcohol, designer clothes, luxury holidays, chronic whoring or gossip or being mean to others.
Good morning and may God bless you.
May you attract somebody who naturally brings out your childlike playfulness, makes you laugh, and loves you a little extra on your bad days. Somebody who always has your back no matter what, genuinely feels lucky to have you, and gives you that "I feel safe with you" energy.
Dating the wrong person can age you so badly. You will look like a dead version of yourself , dull skin, weight issues, personality gone. You just donโt know if youโre coming or going.
Quick notes on giving a speech at a wedding, funeral or any celebration or mass gathering.
When you are invited to speak, more often than not, you are chosen to represent friends or family or work colleagues and the collective experience of the person being celebrated. Your task is not to tell your story, but to articulate what those you are tasked to represent feel.
Personal anecdotes, if you must, at least share one that would serve to reflect the collective truth resonant with everyone. The fact that the person once lent you money, bought you viagra or triphasils, helped you in a crisis, or showed you kindness is not the point. The point is their character. Frame such moments as evidence of a generosity that many in the room have benefited from not as a spotlight on yourself.
Resist the temptation to centre yourself. This moment is not about your proximity, your history, or your sacrifices. It is about honouring the person in a way that feels shared, balanced and dignified.
If you intend to be humorous, exercise restraint. Take a brief mental scan of the room. Ask yourself:
Who might misunderstand this?
Who might feel exposed or diminished?
Who might be hurt rather than amused?
Wisdom in public speaking is not saying everything you can say, but knowing what should not be said. Practise self- restraint and do keep it short and sweet.
Class dismissed and goodnight.
