Honestly, I didn't know Adulthood will be this demanding!

I thought it will be a walk in the park

It's a lot trying to think of what to do, how to get things done and still maintain your uniqueness

I miss days I do not have to think or worry about what to eat or wear, days I do have to worry about what next,saving up or meeting expectations.

But What if simply live

What if we live rather than constantly worrying about expectations and responsibilities.

Instead of being overwhelmed with pressures and societal expectations, what if we embrace life as it comes - Living intentionally with stillness, finding joy in the present, and not overcomplicating things.

What a privilege is it to wake up to pray

What a privilege it is for our data to be exhausted because of internet

What a privilege it is for us to have a lot messages to reply

What a privilege it is to set goals and not meet them at times

It is a huge privilege!

I will wrap up with this,

God has been speaking to me about FINDING JOY lately and I couldn't agree less. In the midst of all that is happening to us, the Joy of the Lord is our Strength! I wonder how those without Christ are doing it because I don't think I can survive one minute if God hasn't been in the picture.

I am rooting for every adult even as we try to figure life out

I am rooting for you Big Sis

I see you and we see you.

I know this is a vulnerable post from you but you are the reason why some of us are still going

Thank you for being

I love you always.

So relatable, juggling between the YOU you are, the YOU you want to be, and the YOU others expect you to be. Kindness to self cannot be overemphasized 🤍

This is definitely how I feel now. It's how I've felt recently and I don't know how to make it stop, that's if it stops.

I'm a 400 level law student... Studying Law in Nigeria.😂😂 I'm constantly pressured with the need to build something beyond my degree in law but from where? How?

Everyday I wake up feeling just there, as though I'm just sitting by, watching my life while away with time.

Honestly, I'm tired. So tired. Tired of nothing and everything. Tired of this excruciating feeling. And most importantly, I'm extremely sick and tired of being tired. Sigh!
