A lot of people are almost 30, some heading towards 35, and genuinely have nothing to their name. No property, no kids, no successful business, no useful connections, nobody to call when things go wrong. They work but after food and basic survival, there’s barely anything left to save. And when you don’t have rich parents or anyone to fall back on, building a life from nothing is a completely different kind of struggle.
Can they bring back the days of ogi and drinking omidun as juice, simple cooking, and simple living?
The days when iru was part of our soup ingredients.
The days when we had pepper, tomatoes, and other vegetables growing in our backyards.
The days when amunututu would grow and tangle itself around the fence.
The days when we used fresh, unripe pepper to make rice stew instead of tin tomatoes.
The days when we spread our lafun outside and ground it ourselves, instead of buying the preserved ones.
Clay pots cooked our food and gave us cold drinking water.
All these are not signs of poverty. They are ways of life that we have neglected.
I am just tired 😞😞
May your journey to the spiritual world be peaceful and the family you left behind be strengthened with fortitude to bear the irreplaceable loss
You gave us hope, courage, lessons and inspiration with your gift.
May your vibrant soul rest in eternal peace 🕊️🕊️🕊️
God wants you to read it, but 99% will skip...
Proverbs 3:5-6 Stop overthinking, if it's God's will, it will happen and nothing will stop it. If it's not, he has a better plan. Have peace in that. Not once in the Bible does it say to worry about it, stress over it, or figure it out. But over and over, it clearly says, "Trust God." God is bigger than all your worries and fears. God's plans will always be greater and more beautiful than all your disappointments. When God is all you have, you have all you need. He's got you. If you trust God, save this and come back to it when you need the reminder. Put a devoted "Amen" to enemy flee.
There will always be another opportunity, another person, another relationship, another friendship. But there will never be another you. Don’t trade your peace for temporary comfort, your values for acceptance or your self-worth for anyone’s presence. No matter how beautiful something seems, nothing is worth abandoning yourself for.
