A man confessed to a s3x therapist, saying:
"I’ve been married for 15 years, and I’m haunted by fantasies about other women, but I don’t want to leave my wife."
And this is what the therapist said..🧠🧠🧠
I hope you learn from it, I said. Help is a gift. The moment you believe you deserve it without respect, it becomes entitlement. I’m starting to understand that.
Richard and I finalized the divorce several months later. I saw him once afterward at a hardware store. He stood beside a shelf of paint supplies looking older than I remembered. I didn’t think that comment would matter so much, he said. I held his gaze. That was the problem, Richard. You didn’t think I mattered enough for it to matter. He looked down. I returned to choosing paint.
One year after that Thanksgiving dinner, I hosted another meal in my townhouse. Carol brought the same green bean casserole. Gary complained about football. Lucas arrived in his work boots and carried the heavy serving dish before I could reach for it. I’ve got it, he said. There was no speech behind the gesture. No expectation. Only care.
Later, I stood alone in the kitchen holding a dish towel, listening to the people I loved laughing in the next room. The year before, I had believed peace meant keeping everyone comfortable. Now I understood something simpler. Peace that requires you to disappear is not peace. It is unpaid labor with a prettier name.
And that was enough. I set the dish towel down, walked back into the living room, and took my place at the table—not as the help, not as the invisible provider, not as the woman who needed to feel needed. Just as Brenda. Present. Respected. Free.
Most people only know Temu and Shein.
But I know three platforms you can order from at very cheap prices.
They're platforms where Chinese people actually shop on, so things are way cheaper there because you're buying directly from the producers. Even Temu gets its goods from some of these platforms.
Likewise, a lot of "mini importers" in Nigeria use these websites. All those WhatsApp and Facebook vendors you see around, they get their goods from these websites at very low prices, then they inflate the prices when they want to resell.
I'll mention them below and share their links in the comments section.
1.▫️1688
Best for clothes, shoes, bags, phone accessories, electronics, home appliances, and just about anything in bulk.
They offer wholesale prices, but you may need to make bulk orders (10 to 100+ units). It's best for people who want to resell. The language on this website is Chinese, so you'll have to translate it. The video below explains how.
2.▫️Taobao
Best for fashion, jewelry, home decor, gadgets, and niche items you can't easily find elsewhere.
They sell single items easily, have a huge variety, and even better quality than what gets imported to Temu. It's good for both individuals and resellers.
3.▫️Pinduoduo
Best for everyday items, kitchenware, phone accessories, small gadgets, and household basics.
This is similar to Taobao, and often even cheaper. It's a great place for everyday buys.
NOTE, though:
Also, none of these websites ship internationally. You'll need a shipping agent to receive your order in China and forward it to you. It's also best to order in bulk.
Some of the agents include:
- Superbuy
- CSSBuy
To use a shipping agent:
1. Create an agent account on any of the agent website I'll share in the comments.
2. Paste the product link from 1688, Taobao, or PDD into their search bar.
2. The agent buys it and receives it at their warehouse.
3. You pay a service fee, then shipping once it arrives.
3. Agent ships to you, sometimes combining items to save cost.
Just make sure to always read the descriptions. Sort by best-selling, read reviews and check the photos shared by reviewers instead of relying on product pictures.
I'm sure you learnt something.
Stay sharp! 🪒

Here is what does NOT protect your land in Nigeria:
→ A receipt of purchase
→ A survey plan
→ Omo-onile approval or levies
→ Family witness at point of purchase
→ Photographs of you standing on the land
→ Years of paying “caretaker fees”
→ A handwritten agreement, even witnessed
Here is what DOES protect your land:
→ A registered Deed of Assignment
→ Governor’s Consent (for any land transfer in Lagos and most states)
→ A Certificate of Occupancy in your name, perfected at the Land Registry
If you do not have the second list — you do not own land.
You occupy it. Until someone with registered paper arrives.
