🌸My New Year resolution is to bring my business to Twitter, so here goes nothing! 🫢I'm finally putting myself here and sharing all the amazing products I sell, from perfumes, body sprays to scented candles,high-quality oils,diffusers and many more.
If you’re in Abj, kindly hmu.
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.

My physical Spec is however my wife looks at that time
When she's pregnant, my Spec is pregnant. When she adds weight while breastfeeding, my Spec is plump. When she loses weight, my Spec is slim.
Don't blame Aproko.
He is acting out his name.
I am impressed by this. Not by their climbing or bypassing security. But to be such a specific kind of crazy, that requires not just bravado but also great skill, and to find someone exactly as crazy, as skilful, as willing, who even happens to look like you and to have them be in love with you... few people will ever be so lucky, few people will ever live life so fully. To be lucky to find this, you don't need to live 80 or 90 years. They have already lived a hundred lives.
I don’t think your partner wants you to tell the world that they are not your spec. Some statements are just unnecessary, even if they aren’t malicious.
There’s this strange obsession many Nigerians seem to have with IV fluids.
It doesn’t matter how minor the illness is or how insignificant the injury may be; somehow, if there’s no drip involved, it doesn’t feel like you’ve been properly treated.
There’s almost a need to wear the illness as a badge of honour, with the IV cannula serving as proof that it was serious.
I’ve always found it funny. 😅
I have this friend of mine who only talks to me like once a month . And it’s not just me , she’s just like that with almost everyone except her family . Yesterday I randomly checked her instagram account and realized the last time she posted was back in 2024 . At first I thought maybe she was going through something but when I chilled with her , I realized she’s actually living life . Her gallery is full of pictures she’s gone out , some to the beaches and she like never posted . She just spends her free time reading books , watching movies and so on . I don’t know how someone gets to that point but I really need that level of peace .
