I was going to say something about the hate reading gets on here year in year out...
But considering the state of society, comprehension levels, grammar etc, it tracks...
You better read so you won't be saying stupid stuff like "I should of" or "am" when you mean I'm...
Selah!
You can be led strongly by your passions and God is not in it. Prayer is also that place where you present your heart to Christ to be tested. When the scripture says the heart of man is deceitful and wicked, we often look at others and not inwards, and this conceit robs us of the wisdom and restraint of the Lord. As John Owen brilliantly puts it: “The one who understands the evil of his own heart is the only useful, fruitful, solid believer.”
I discovered something dangerous last year (2024), and changing it in 2025 saved me.
I realized I was letting "Corporate Molding" take over.
When you are starting out in your mid-20s, the system piles the work on you. I fell into the trap of letting the job become my entire personality. I would wake up, work, complain about work, sleep, and repeat.
My mood was 100% dictated by how my day went at the office.
In 2025, I flipped the script. I started actively fighting for my life outside the building.
I stopped seeing my personal life dating, hanging out, exploring the city as a "distraction." I started seeing it as the priority.
Here is the crazy part: It made me better at the job.
When you have a life you love waiting for you at home, workplace toxicity can’t touch you the same way.
A bad meeting doesn't ruin your week anymore because your identity isn't tied to it.
You develop a thick skin that only comes from having options and happiness elsewhere.
I’ve tested this switch for a whole year now, and it is trusted.
Don’t let corporate turn you into a robot.
By all means crush the work, but keep your soul for yourself. The job will always be there but your youth won’t.
I finally finished reading Oyinkan Braithwaite's Cursed Daughters.
The Yorùbá words with the wrong tone marks really annoyed me because simple checks could have fixed the whole thing...
🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
Tone marks have meanings...
They're not meant to just be put on words anyhow... 🤦🏾♀️
I'm reading a book and the Yorùbá words are so badly written, it's annoying me so much!
Get native speakers to proof read for you! It's actually not that hard...
I don't understand or like this new trend of speaking so much English in Yorùbá movies...
Please let's go back to speaking Yorùbá with decent English subtitles...
Maybe we should be careful how we use the words “your feelings are valid”. Cos na mad tins many people dey feel now. Not all feelings are valid abeg. At some point, you have to learn to scrutinise your feelings and subject them to logic, abeg. No be every feeling make sense.
