Delivered my second order today courtesy of her recommendation.
I’m so grateful for my girl🥹.
And she tells them I’m her sister🥹, so I always say, “I gave you a discount because you came through “My Sister”.
Thank you! May Every good thing come to you🥹❤️
In 2007, my dad died.
After his passing, the family gave my mum two options: marry my dad's younger brother or leave the house and receive no support whatsoever.
My mum chose to leave.
They told her that male children raised by Akure wives never amount to anything. They laughed at her decision and believed our story had already been written.
But look at us now.
Look at what God has done🥹🥹
I know my dad is smiling in heaven, proud of the woman he left us with and proud of the children she raised against every odd.
Tomorrow, by God's grace, I will fulfill a lifelong dream. I will be called to the Nigerian Bar as a lawyer. Double First Class Lawyer at that🥹
Lord, thank You for changing our story. Thank You for proving that the final chapter belongs to You.
“I grew up with a Mum who never left her husband no matter how bad her husband treated her, so trust me when I say I’ll stay by your side”
I’m not my mum, I WILL LEAVE.
I don’t tend to short termed happiness anymore.
If it has the tendency to end, I won’t start it.
I’d rather miss out on the excitement than nurture the hurt it leaves behind when it’s cut short.
The Push Gift Pandemic.
Somewhere along the line, every act of love started needing a name.
Push gift.
Soft life.
Princess treatment.
Bare minimum.
If the person you love just carried your child for nine months, went through labour, and brought your baby into the world, making her life easier or buying her something nice should not require a trendy label before you do it.
And if you’re the one who gave birth, doing something thoughtful for your partner shouldn’t require a social media trend either.
Not every loving gesture needs to become an institution with a hashtag and a rulebook.
A healthy relationship is simply two people looking for ways to make each other’s lives easier because they love each other, not because social media gave it a name.
Sometimes I think we’ve become so obsessed with naming gestures that we’ve forgotten the point of the gestures themselves.
No single benefit for men in marriage to be honest. Imagine providing , protecting, mowing the lawn, lifting the heavy items, repairing the generator, fixing the cars, working at the shore, planning dates, buying dress, paying for uber, spending all your earnings on a woman who just do nothing in return.
This is why I advise every man to marry their fellow man so that efforts can match and the other person will understand your sacrifice well because they are in that position too.
Funny thing is that, men are the ones that can’t stand 50/50. 💀
Cos if we are doing 50/50, we will have a roaster of house chores, including washing the toilets, sweeping and even cooking.
When your friends come around and it’s your turn to cook, na you go cook that food oh
