Don’t feel bad for making decisions that upset other people. You’re not responsible for their happiness, you’re responsible for yours.

When you feel bad about yourself, you are blocking all the love and all the happiness that the Universe has for you.

Listening to that new Cole rn, everything feels right.

Listening to that new Cole rn, everything feels right.

Just because you have experienced pain doesn’t mean you won’t feel happiness again.

There are battles carried in silence, unseen wounds that weigh heavy on the heart, and quiet struggles that go unnoticed. Some days, just moving forward takes more strength than the world will ever know. Healing isn’t instant, and peace doesn’t arrive all at once, but with time, the weight begins to lift. One day, the past won’t feel so close, the fears won’t be so loud, and life will feel lighter again. Until then, trust the process—better days are on their way.

“Sadness is caused by intelligence. The more you understand certain things, the more you wish you didn't understand them.” (Charles Bukowski)

A certain level of sadness is often a byproduct of empathy and understanding; the deeper our comprehension of the world's complexities, the more acutely we may feel its suffering.

This poignant awareness of life's inherent fragility and the pain experienced by ourselves and others can lead to moments of sorrow.

However, this capacity for profound understanding is also a source of great strength and compassion. It fuels our desire to make a positive impact, to alleviate suffering, and to build a more compassionate world.

The very intelligence that allows us to feel sadness also empowers us to find meaning, purpose, and ultimately, hope, in the face of life's challenges.

Imagine waking up one morning, scrolling through your phone, and suddenly seeing the wedding invitation of someone you thought you had a future with. Maybe it was your talking stage, someone you were considering, or someone who told you they weren’t ready for a relationship. Maybe it was a person you had already fallen in love with or even someone you believed you were in a relationship with. Worse still, it could be an ex you broke up with just a few months ago. The shock, the pain, the confusion it’s a lot to handle.

At that moment, anger and hurt may take over. Questions will flood your mind. Did they lie to me? Was I just a backup plan? How did I not see this coming? You may even begin to feel like they just used you to feed their intimate pleasure. The betrayal may feel unbearable, but the truth is, no matter how painful, this might be a blessing in disguise.

Fighting the person or letting bitterness take over will not change anything. Instead, take a deep breath and remind yourself that sometimes, disappointments are God’s way of clearing your path for something better. If they were meant for you, they wouldn’t be marrying someone else.

Come o, No vex but have you even take out time to ask yourself this question?, What if the person you are toasting as a guy or considering accepting his proposal as a lady is already planning their future with someone else? It’s painful to think about, but it also means you deserve someone who truly chooses you, not someone who keeps you as an option.

Healing takes time, but let this be your turning point. Wish them well, walk away with grace, and trust that your own love story is still being written, one that will be true, intentional, and lasting. Hope this blessed you? Shalom!

Hydration and Healthy Eating

Water plays a crucial role in digestion, metabolism, and overall health. Pairing healthy meals with proper hydration enhances nutrient absorption and keeps you feeling full longer. Foods like cucumbers, oranges, and watermelon provide both nutrients and hydration. Make it a habit to drink enough water daily for a healthier, more balanced diet.

“Eating healthy is expensive”
“I don’t have time to cook”

STOP PLAYING CHESS WITH YOUR HEALTH

Here are some cooking ideas to help you create quick healthy recipes.

You can try on a go.

The foods listed will help you:

-Prevent unnecessary weight gain

-Boost your mood

-Revive your energy

And make you feel good again.

The key to healthy eating should not emphasize on “balance diet” in other words balance diet is an old paradigm that should be discarded for good.

Because, “balanced diet” modeled around eating more carbs, less protein and fats.

This is not a sustainable way to eat especially if you are seeking to lose or maintain weight and also optimize your micronutrients intake.

So the most nutrient dense food should be your priority.

They are(in order of nutrient density/availability):

1. Meats:beef, chicken,goat meat, ponmo, turkey, rabbit, pork, wild game etc.

2. Eggs(Any edible eggs available).

3. Offals; Liver, hearts, intestines, and lungs of ruminants

4. Seafoods: All edible fish in the order of nutrient density fresh fish>smoked fish>dry fish. Limit frying of fish; shrimp, prawns, crabs,oysters, sea snails, calamari etc.

5. Seasonal fruits: mango, African star apple(udara), Avocado, among other seasonal fruits.

6. Non starchy vegetables: Local vegetables; cucumber, garden eggs, tomatoes, green peas, green beans, bell peppers carrots, etc. Leafy greens; pumpkin leaf,garden egg leaf, spinach etc. Exotic vegetables; cauliflower, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and Kale.

7. Starchy vegetables: Grains; rice. Tuber; yam, potatoes, coco yam. Legumes; Beans, lentils.

This category is where you should practice moderation and must be paired with any of the above categories.

It’s very important not to forget the healthy fats category.

Choose from: olive oil, coconut oil, beef tallow, Avocado oil(most in Nigerian markets are fake) lard, ghee, butter and pure palm oil.

My Favorite quick combos.

1. Yam and egg sauce

2. 4-5 boiled eggs with mix vegetable sauce.

3. 4 Egged omelette with mixed vegetables sautéed in olive oil on side.

4. Any of yam or plantain porridge with smoked fish.

5. Boiled Beef and Salt.

You can also try rice with plenty of leafy greens and boiled eggs.

Beans cooked with plenty crayfish and smoked fish.

Any swallow of choice except semo and wheat(portion controlled) with plenty protein rich soups.
