Sometimes I lose hope in life. But when I remember the Book of Jeremiah, which reminds us that we are in this world for a purpose, I take it easy and trust in God.
A flashy lifestyle can make people, including strangers, hate you. Poverty and jealousy often go hand in hand. Do everything you can to escape poverty bro. It’s a dangerous place to be in.
WE HAVE MASTERED SAYING “MUM DID THIS FOR ME.” BUT SOME OF US ALSO HAVE FATHERS WHO QUIETLY MADE THE JOURNEY POSSIBLE.
This isn't to say Mum has done nothing. Far from it. Mum deserves her flowers too. But today, let me give Dad his.
Yeah, my dad was never rich. But one thing I'll always appreciate about him is that he knows how to spread risks. He'll never let school fees, basic necessities, or survival become impossible problems.
Yeah, my boss got pissed at me this morning. I called in sick; he asked what the matter was, and I said, "I have rectal glaucoma." "What's that?" He asked. I said, "I don't see my ass coming to work this morning!"
THINGS WE DON'T TALK ABOUT.
Imagine having someone mature enough to say, "Can you please promise me not to hide yourself when you're in pain? It's unfair that we laugh together, but you cry alone."
Some people don't just want your happiness. They want to be trusted with your pain too.
