DONT FRET: MARCH ON!

  Hi! how are you? I mean, how are you doing? Okay, I will go first. 

I am not fine! 

I know, I know many of us are not but pretend to be. Everything seems to be happening all at once and like many of you, I don’t know how to handle it all.

 It’s only the month of March, the third month of the year and  I, like many, am exhausted already.

 

It's no News that the economy is hitting hard on everyone  with the cost of Living exorbitant enough to overwhelm “the Living”.  I don’t even know how to promise you that we will be fine because  at this juncture, “no evidence dey” that we will but “based on belief, e go better”.

Plus, I will be honest with by sharing that I don’t know which of my dreams to chase next. I don't even know what comes after this phase of my life and I'd want to believe I am not alone on that.

It has occured to me that here is no land to chase your dreams. With little to no choice given, our first instinct has been to survive rather than Live. 

The "dreams"  many chase are just means to an end not necessarily  what they want to do with their lives or do out of Love. 

"Do what you love" , they say. Realistically,  doing what you love in Nigeria  is a FACADE and for understandable reasons, a lot of people are not doing this because we've been programmed to survive first!

 

Everything I have said is the reality of the current Nigeria and instinctively, I know how   we all are  doing. But, I will say  we are going to be fine , we will survive, we will achieve our dreams, I don’t know  how or when, but I am certain we will definitely be fine and we will find a way out in the end. 

I will wrap this up by admonishing you take care of yourself. Prioritize your mental and physical health in all situations, pray, keep working hard, plan and work towards your plan, pat yourself on the back and praise yourself for doing well so far.  So, this is me cheering you on , reminding you not to give up and you should know that I love you and I am here rooting for you 🥰
