Barack: You told me all those years ago that you couldn’t promise me the world, but you could promise me an interesting life. Of course, you outdid yourself and managed to give me both.
Eight years in the crucible, and not once did you melt from the heat. Not once did you let it harden you. Instead, you used it to reveal your truest essence: your stubborn optimism and unflinching courage, your dazzling brilliance and unpretentious decency, your ferocious work ethic and absolutely unshakable moral fiber.
Idk but Michelle Obama telling Barack “You told me all those years ago that you couldn't promise me the world, but you could promise me an interesting life. And, of course you outdid yourself and managed to give me both." is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard someone say to another 🥹
See the way Michelle Obama stood on that podium talking about her husband…. his brilliance, his resilience, his love, his kindness, and what a wonderful husband he is.
You can tell he is proud to have a wife like Michelle Obama.
Some of you men will never experience a moment where your wife publicly says sweet things about you, not even privately, because all you’ve ever done is cause her pain and put her through agony.
when Michelle said Barack has “stubborn optimism” I realized I also really want that in a partner. Somebody who isn’t moved by life’s shortcomings but ALWAYS sees the light at the end of the tunnel. That’s a true leader, not just of a country but a household. what a legacy.
This generation needs to decenter this AESTHETIC mentality.
You’re making a video in your fathers house and you started with “ignore the background”, because e no get POP,
For house wey your papa sweat build.
You’re starting a small business but you want it to be aesthetically pleasing straight away, wasting money on packaging.
Everything we do now we want it to be AESTHETICALLY PLEASING.
Let’s just free ourselves from this shackles and live freely.
