@MazikodeThah "I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want." - Philippians 4 verse 12
It is a funny thing how the world follows your perspective: and how everybody simply meets you half way. That the people in your circle are merely mirrors - giving back what you give them. And the overwhelming influence that interaction has on your mind. And heart. Live life.
In human relationships - be it friendship, familial, or romantic - I do not believe in managing people. It is me I manage. I offer first, then I adjust accordingly. I work with what I can control. The rest is secondary.
My romance philosophy summed up:
I like you. But I am willing to lose you. What I feel may be irrational. Staying is not. I chose this. Deliberately. I intend to stay. But If you make a fool of me, I will leave. Desire brought me to you. but it is choice that keeps me here.
God, I love Substack. The writers are writing. The thinkers are thinking. The yearners are yearning. The teachers are teaching! A whole lot of intellectual hope in an era that threatens critical thought.

My rich life?
A husband who’s my best friend.
The laughter of healthy children.
Friends who are like family.
A quiet mind, at peace.
A warm and loving home.
Always been and always will be. 🥹❤️
fully understand your current position. what is expected of you. the challenges ahead of you. your duties. what should be prioritised. what you’re capable of. what distracts you. cut off dead weight and feed your abilities. always remind yourself, it gets better.
