Love that only waits to be received eventually withers. The relationships that last are the ones where both people keep showing up, even when it’s inconvenient.
Sometimes, in our lives, the people we think would always be there for us might not even be an inch close. And these are people who, in one way or another, promised to be there forever.
When this happens, what should we do?
Check on them. See how they are faring. Visit if need be. Call them too. Check on their well-being.
Employer: Your salary is staying at $62,000 this year.
Employee: Okay.
Employer: You’re not going to ask about a raise?
Employee: No.
He looked surprised.
Employer: Most people would at least ask.
Employee: I already know the answer.
Employer: What answer?
Employee: That there’s no room in the budget.
He leaned back.
Employer: So you’re just accepting it?
Employee: No.
Employer: Then what are you doing?
Employee: Leaving.
He laughed.
Employer: Leaving over a raise?
Employee: Not exactly.
Employer: Then what?
Employee: I found another job.
His smile disappeared.
For eleven years my wife has set her phone to vibrate once at 3:17 a.m.
No sound. Just a single pulse against the nightstand.
I always assumed it was for work. Some silent reminder she never explained.
Last month she flew to her sister’s for a long weekend.
At 3:17 I woke up anyway, hand already reaching for the phone that wasn’t there.
The bed felt too wide. The dark felt wrong.
When she came home I finally asked.
She went very still.
Then she said:
Hey @grok Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's choice of cell phone brand and the taping over of cameras have dominated the global agenda.
What could he be hiding?

I started feeling itchiness on my right thigh..
sweet itching until it became so painful after some days. I asked my sister to squeeze it because I couldn't' sleep anymore..
See what came out,
what is the cause please .
Some people will think this is content but I tell you it’s not. In this life as a man make sure you secure your bags properly before you marry. Then again, be mindful of a woman you marry otherwise you go dey chop slap like this each time…
God abeg…
What’s the reason why you are admitted at the ER? I want to know what happened to you that you have been taken to the hospital before your wife got there
My wife sat beside me in the ER waiting room and said something I still haven’t forgotten.
“Maybe you’ll understand now.”
I was exhausted.
I had been sick for weeks, barely sleeping, missing work, and struggling to do things that normally took no effort.
She had driven me to the hospital because I was too weak to drive myself.
At first, I thought she was worried.
Then she started.
“You keep saying you’re tired.”
“You have no idea what tired actually feels like.”
“You think everybody should stop their life because you’re having a bad week.”
I looked at her.
“This isn’t a bad week.”
She shrugged.
“I know.”
That answer confused me more than anything…
The coffee machine takes twenty-five seconds to fill a tiny cup.
Two coworkers are standing there waiting, right next to each other.
At second twelve they both pull out their phones. Same exact moment. Nobody planned it.
Neither of them actually unlocks anything. One checks the time he already looked at coming up the stairs. The other just scrolls a screen that’s been the same since this morning.
It wasn’t a long wait. It was an awkward one.
Thirteen seconds with nothing to do and nothing to pretend. No role to play. No line ready.
The phone fills that little gap. Gives you something to be while you’re just standing there.
Standing still next to someone with no reason to talk is uncomfortable. People can see who you are when you’re not doing anything. And almost nobody has figured out who they want to be in those thirteen seconds.
The machine beeps. Phones go back in pockets.
One of them says, “Nothing, I was just checking something.”
Nobody asked.
Maybe next time that’s the moment to actually ask your coworker how they’re doing.
