I keep saying that no one can say this to me.
Pic 1: I was president of College of Natural Sciences Students' Association, FUNAAB
Pic 2-4: I was very active and very popular in NYSC camp. I was the MC for ALL the major events. I was so popular they gave me the governor's name as a nickname.
Helping people is a gamble.
A few will be grateful and remember you for life.
Many will ride on like you only existed for that moment.
Need has a way of making people humble temporarily.
People will come to you when life has cornered them... cry... beg... make promises from a place of desperation.
But once life gives them space again, they can make you question yourself. Painting your kindness as foolishness.
But that is life…
We become bridges in people’s lives, and they will cross through your sacrifice, your support, your love, your presence…
And after crossing, it's Au revoir.
Painful, yes...
But understand this, being good is not a business where every investment brings profit. Even your good can K.I.L.L you...
So be GAMBLE AWARE.
Build yourself to be ready for the worst type of pain… because it will come and surviving it depends on how you build your emotional and mental strength today.
We all have a story... The weakest and most used version of me came when I practiced forgiveness without boundaries.
