I can beat my chest and say I’m mentally stronger than many people I know. Because the things I been through???? You will never suspect and if I tell you, you’d say I’m lying.
That’s why I struggle to understand people pleasing. Can NEVER be me. I don’t care that you don’t like me, stranger, I’ve had people closer to me do me worse.
You want to exclude me? But I was never part of the plan. Youre jealous? Join the queue. You hate me? I can see why
Maturing is realising that the red witch from Alice in wonderland was in the right. She was bullied out of her rightful place as queen and yes, the white witch was manipulative as fuck
My grandmother is coming back to lagos soon and I already feel tortured.
I wanna tell her “You can only successfully torture someone who loves you and I’m far from that person so you can’t torture me”
You owe it to yourself to pursue the life you really want. You owe it to yourself to try. Even if it’s just a little each day. If something is niggling at you, if there’s something you want to birth that won’t leave you alone, you owe it to yourself to try. Just try.
Men are like bloodhounds. They can smell your insecurities and profile you in the snap of a finger.
Then there’s me. Babanla instincts of an ancient mountain witch. Need I say more?
Whats keeping me going is the imagination that one day I’m going to be on a talk show stopping myself from crying cos I really can’t believe I survived and made it.
