True healing begins from acceptance!
Accepting that the pain exists

Waiting period is toughhhh
You’ll cry, you’ll be frustrated, you’ll try so hard to keep the hopes alive…see, it’s one of the toughest phase ever.
You don’t even know if you should give up or keep pushing. May God grant our heart desires, it’s not easy Wallahi
Don’t listen to the aunties that tell you, you don’t need single friends when you get married.
Do not forget your girlfriends.
You may be in love with your husband and enjoy his company but in challenging times, your husband will need his friends, you’ll NEED yours too.
Only God knows what’s happening with this generation. You can’t cry at weddings. You don’t want to apologize after forgetting a friend’s birthday. You think you owe people nothing.
Which one do you now want to do???? No emotions, no empathy, just carrying head like soulless zombies. Abeggi!
😪The economy is bad but the narrative that you have to depend on NGOs for daily 2ks just because they are trying to help you will never sit right with me.
They helped you with money for meds today and all of a sudden, you want to milk them? How?
Ntetee was a gift to myself for my 21st.
I didn’t set out to “run an NGO” lol. I just wanted to help people, especially those who live with the sickle cell disease. It’s a burden I’ve carried for as long as I can remember…
