@Femi_OfMainland@BlehisBack crazy and heartbreaking that the basics of life she mentioned could very well be categorized as doing "big things" in this economy
This was one of the reasons my long-term friendship ended. You cannot be in unhealthy competition with me.
I have always been the kind of friend who puts you on, every opportunity I see, every resource I come across. But it was not reciprocated. Her excuse was “you know I don’t talk much, unlike you”. Torrh, how does being quiet translate to withholding information? ☹️
The final straw was an application we both submitted.
An email went out scheduling us for phone interviews. I missed the email. My friend received hers and said nothing. If she had told me, I would have checked my inbox immediately and seen my own date.
On my supposed interview day, a foreign number called me out of the blue. I picked up, only to be told it was my interview. Ah! I panicked. I wasn’t prepared, wasn’t even in the right place, so I asked for a reschedule. They declined. That was the end.💔
Still shaken, the very first person I called was my friend to warn her that they might call her too. Only for her to casually say, “Oh, I had mine yesterday.” 😳😳
The email came. You didn’t tell me. You had the interview. You still didn’t tell me.
Yet when I was blindsided by a call, you were the first person I thought of.💔💔.. Omo… that was when I knew it was over. I was deeply hurt.
And it wasn’t an isolated incident. There were many opportunities I only discovered later on her LinkedIn. Even reading materials that were never mentioned.
I told myself that in a world that thrives on information, I could not afford to remain in a friendship where information was being hoarded. I knew I had to walk away.
The sad part is that the damage bled into my next friendships. I started competing quietly.😞. I began assuming people were hiding things from me too.
Until I met a friend who healed me.
@heisam001 i don't think she's being performative. that's just how yoruba aunties go around to greet at parties/events. you may dislike the conduct, but to tag it performance, without more, is unfair imo
@divinedollars@nick_matau@RealCandaceO there's even nothing like process pf converting. what does that mean if not to garner controversy and drama. it's not a visa that takes weeks, its a moment's decision. so if he never arrived at that decision while he was here, i see no reason why she keeps forcing it
@prolificcharisa@the_beardedsina If there are excesses or issues you think we should address within the Body of Christ, I think that should be done directly and responsibly, not by mounting support on the narrative of someone who is openly hostile to the faith.
@prolificcharisa@the_beardedsina this is the real problem. what's even worse is that the video came from someone who consistently denies Christ. you took his caption as the starting point and then built a detailed rebuttal around it. in doing so, you adopted and reinforced his framing,instead of questioning it.
@king_Enoel btw it's a 2022 story from an uncorroborated source, which he conveniently reposts, as though it's news,anytime any one of them does something that goes viral. no doubt he'll retweet same later this week. this is the kind of thing you expect from blogs. FIJ fell off big time
Strange, I know, but I find myself completely untroubled by the fact that total strangers don't understand why I think women's rights are worth defending.
@Cheri_flavour this thing could have literally been a joke/lighthearted challenge between the couple. but the influencer came and projected her own context on the situation. very bizarre. if the bride to be insists that's not the case then she deserves a public apology
the older i get,the more i see that keeping God's precepts benefits us more than it benefits Him. we are saved from so much and gain so much just by being obedient.
check it. if He has said don't do xyz and you go ahead to do xyz. it will almost always result in YOUR pain. it's wisdom to keep His laws, and that is what makes our days stable. isa 33:6
