Picking pieces

Ever noticed how some people are always there for everyone else, but no one seems to be there for them? Those pillars of strength, the ones we all lean on, often get overlooked when they need support. The ones who carry the burdens of others at the expense of their own. The ones we assume have it all figured out, the ones we run to when we are overwhelmed. But, who do they run to when they're struggling?

So, to all the strong ones out there, we see you. We see the weight you're carrying, and we want you to know it's okay to put it down sometimes. You don't have to be the pillar all the time; it's okay to be the one being supported. Prioritize yourself and your wellbeing because you cannot pour from an empty cup.

Have you ever been the strong one? When did you realize that you needed to prioritize yourself?

Don't let the dull you feel make your life full time dull.

The full story is finally here. It has been a journey!

Peace is underrated. Guard your peace jealously.

The Monologue of A Tired Soul

Why is everything moving so fast? It's like life is sprinting while am barely crawling

Why do I feel like am drowning in a whirlwind? Family, friends, work, all load me with with expectations that keep multiplying exponentially.

Why do I keep moving in this circle and cycle even when there seems to be no progress? The fear of being branded lazy? The need to fit in?The fear of being branded selfish?

Maybe I need to slow down (nodding to self). Take a breath. And. Prioritize my sanity.

And when they say, you're not doing enough? Aahh, Easy. I will say, I am doing enough just for my soul. Because, my dear self, my wellbeing matters more than anything in this life.

So, darling, find solace in the quiet moments. And, remember, it is okay to be human in a world that has forgotten how to be human.

IT IS OKAY TO TAKE A BREAK
TO PRIORITIZE YOUR WELLBEING
TO REST
TO BE HUMAN AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE

Pieces of rejection

Rejection, like any bad feeling, pierces deeper than a sharp prick.

Pick those pieces and turn them into blessings

Pick those pieces and turn them into investments

Pick those pieces and build yourself a mansion with them

They that rejected then, will try bring back their feet slowly into the life of a rejected stone.

Be wise even as you welcome such people into your life again. Lest they bring the collected pieces down to the drains again.

Of importance is, picking your pieces and making them meaningful in the hay days✍️

BE THE LIGHT

Hello dear soul,
Be easy on yourself,
Take it slow so you don't fall,
Set goals you can achieve.. don't sweat it out,

The tough economic times are sending our beloved parents to their early graves, let's be they child they can count on to save the day.

All is cold and feelings of emptiness in a world where tomorrow is not promised is all we got, let's be kind to our already strained parents.

Oh, I didn't apply to be born,
Oh I just need my fees paid,
No, I must get that new pair of shoes,
I'm only 19, it's my parents' responsibility to cater for my needs.
Oh long lost generation, sit back and watch... Mummy is no longer laughing heartily,
Daddy I'd no more carrying a bag of bread back from work... Is that communicating something?
Child, be smart to learn from your environment, that your parents may live longer, it's all for your good.

In a world where nobody cares about how our parents feel or feed, let's be their reason for pushing on.

You will never have much control of how people treat you, but you will always have control of how you treat yourself.
Be kind to yourself. Gentle with yourself. Soft to yourself — be the love that you deserve.

Honor the friendships that allow you to pick up from where you last left off regardless of how long it’s been since you connected.
The friendships that survive hiatuses, silences, and space.
Those are the connections that never
die.

When things are difficult and you can't see a solution, zoom out a little or zoom out alot to create a distance between you and your challenge/problem. Only then can you put things into perspective.

Use this weekend and the energy of the new month to zoom out and observe that challenge from a distance with an aim of drawing a workable plan against the challeng/problem.
