Una volta la nonna mi aveva dato consiglio:
Nei periodi difficili, vai avanti a piccoli passi. Fai ciò che devi fare, ma poco alla volta. Non pensare al futuro, nemmeno a quello che potrebbe accadere domani. Lava i piatti. Togli la polvere. Scrivi una lettera. Fai una minestra.
Vedi?
Stai andando avanti passo dopo passo. Fai un passo e fermati. Riposati. Fatti i complimenti. Fai un altro passo. Poi un altro.
Non te ne accorgerai, ma i tuoi passi diventeranno sempre più grandi.
E verrà il tempo in cui potrai pensare al futuro senza piangere.

@enyinna_ Nigerians adult will be like " I know you are saying the truth but you shouldn't have said it like that. You must not say everything. No be only you see am".
And I will keep asking why I can't say things the way it is, how I see and feel about it?
I have got this a lot from ...
@fortuneakande lastly, I think it’s questionable to tell an artist who never gets closure on the possibility of their idea being stolen that they ‘assumed’ in “terrible faith.” What good faith exists in the power dynamic between an artist, a pitch, and an international magazine?
I don’t understand how anyone has the time to participate in dynamics like that. Life is short. There’s barely enough time to handle your business & indulge in adequate self-care. I can’t allocate even five minutes in my day to deal with nonsensical emotional labor.
