Let's Talk About you, California, Port Harcourt (2026)

09/10/2026

.When I'm around people my age bracket, I realise how different our priorities are.

Because we are the same age. We laugh at the same things. We grew up listening to the same music. We scrolled the same internet. But when we start talking about life... I hear how far apart we are.
It is not that anyone is better. It is just that life touched us differently.
Some of us were forced to grow up early. Some of us are still trying to enjoy the childhood we never had. Some of us have parents who still provide everything. Some of us became the parent at 20. So of course our priorities will never be the same.
You sit in a group of people your age.
One person, their priority is to be seen. To be liked. To be validated. How many likes, they have on social media.Their happiness depends on eyes.
Another person's priority is to escape.They just want to party, drink, cruise, because silence is too painful for them.
Another person's priority is survival. How to pay fees. How to help at home. How to make small money that will hold body and soul together.
Another person's priority is building. How to learn, how to grow, how to become someone. Even if nobody is clapping now.
Same age. Different battles. Different prayers.
And that is when you stop competing.
You stop asking, "Why am I not like them? Why are they ahead of me?"
Because you realize - we are not even going to the same place. How can you be behind in a race you are not running?
One person's dream is to build a house.
Another's dream is to build a business.
Another's dream is to just have peace of mind for once in his life.
Another's dream is to heal from what his family did to him.
Another's dream is to just be loved correctly.
Who is to say which dream is more important?
That is why around people your age, you will sometimes feel lonely, even when you are surrounded. Because what excites them no longer excites you. What keeps them awake at night is not what keeps you awake.
They want to stay out late. You want to stay in and plan your future.
They want to talk about people. You want to talk about growth.
They want to spend everything now. You want to save and suffer now so you can rest later.
And people will misunderstand you.
They will say you've changed. You're too serious. You're boring. You're doing too much.
No. You just found what matters to YOU.
And finding what matters to you is one of the most sensitive, painful, but beautiful things that can happen to a human being. Because the moment you find your priority, you lose a lot of people who don't share it.
You lose friends. You lose gist partners. You lose places you used to belong to.
But you gain yourself.

Your priority might be quiet. It might not trend. It might not give you instant likes. But if it gives you peace, if it gives you growth, if it makes you a better person tomorrow than you are today - hold it.
One day, life will bring you to people who share that same priority. People who talk about healing, purpose, growth, God, peace, building. And when you meet them, you will not feel different anymore. You will feel at home.
Until then, protect your focus. Protect your heart. Protect your different priorities.
Because your different priorities today will become your different life tomorrow.
And that different life? It might just be the life you have always prayed for.

The parable of the farmer and seed

A farmer predicted a seed wouldn't grow, believing it would be distracted by other gardens with more vibrant flowers and richer soil, so he left it unplanted. Years later, the seed sprouted in fertile soil elsewhere, bearing fruit beyond the farmer's wildest dreams.

The questions are:
1. Did the seed thrive despite the farmer's doubts, or did the farmer's neglect and lack of faith cause it to seek better conditions?
2. Should the farmer have given the seed a chance to grow before concluding it wouldn't thrive?
3. What if the seed had waited patiently, holding on to hope, and the farmer had planted another seed instead? If the farmer later looked back, would he feel regret or guilt for not giving the original seed a chance?

This parable isn't just about the farmer and his seed

“I don’t see anything special in myself.”

Maybe that’s because you’ve been looking at yourself through a mirror that was never made for you.
You see your flaws because you’ve memorized them.
The way you tell yourself "you’re not enough" on the days you’re tired.
But you overlook your strengths because you’ve lived with them for so long that they feel ordinary.
You forget that pushing through school, pressure, work and life while still smiling at people is not ordinary. That’s resilience.
You forget that checking on people who never check on you is not ordinary. That’s kindness.
You forget that getting back up after the days you felt like giving up is not ordinary. That’s strength.
few days ago, someone told me they really want to be like me.
few weeks ago, someone looked at what I posted and said "I admire you. I want to be like this lady.
Me? Admired?
While all this while I’ve been telling myself IThat I’m not enough.
Do you see it?
Someone outside is looking at your life and saying "I wish I had what she has."
You’re comparing your raw footage
to everyone else’s highlight reel.
The version they post.
But you don’t see their breakdowns. And they don’t see yours either.
But what feels ordinary to you may be extraordinary to someone else.
Your kindness.
Your resilience.
Your way of thinking.
The battles you survived without anyone knowing. The nights you prayed and cried .the problem isn’t that you’re not enough.
The problem is the angle. Change it
Eyes that only see you on your worst days, and forget all the days you held yourself together.
Look at yourself the way your child looks at you.
Look at yourself the way your father looks at you with pride.
Look at yourself the way that person who said "I want to be like you" looks at you.
Look at yourself the way your crush might look at you — seeing light in the places you only see darkness.
And you might finally meet the person everyone else has been seeing all along.
Imperfect?yes.
Ordinary?No
You are loved ❤️❤️❤️

It feels like a contradiction, but it’s one of the truest thing I know.
Because yes, there is so little love in the world. We live in a time where people leave faster than they stay. Where pride is louder than apology. Where someone can look you in the eye and still walk away when it gets hard. We’ve watched love get weaponized. We’ve watched it become transactional." And so we get tired. We start calling the whole world dry. We start believing that to protect ourselves, we have to stop feeling.
And honestly, who can blame us? When you’ve been pricked by thorns enough times, you stop reaching for flowers.
But then…
And yet, so much.
Because love never really left. It just got quiet. It’s in the way someone remembers your smile .It’s in the "are you okay" text at 11pm when you didn’t post anything. It’s in the parent who is tired but still shows up. It’s in the friend who sits with you in silence and doesn’t try to fix you. It’s in you, choosing to stay soft when the world told you to harden.
That man in the picture isn’t looking down at the broken tiles. He’s looking at the whole view. And maybe that’s what we’re being invited to do too. Stop staring at the one place we got hurt and call the entire world empty. Stop counting how many people left and start noticing who stayed. Stop waiting for love to find you and become the reason someone else believes it still exists.
There is so little love in the world, the selfish kind. The conditional kind.
And yet, so much of the other kind. The kind that says "I see your thorns and I’m not afraid."
So what do we do with this? We become the "yet, so much." People . People willing to love without drowning.
There is so little love in the world. And yet, so much. And the amount of "so much" in this world is directly connected to how much of it you and I are willing to live.
In a world that feels dry, will you be the reason someone believes love is still possible?

Loving difficult people is a difficult but possible experience.
Let's use a flower —
Because flowers are the perfect picture.
They are beautiful to look at, but they come with thorns.
You can’t admire the petals and then get angry when you get pricked.
That’s exactly how difficult people are.
They have beauty in them.
But they also have sharp edges. Pride. Fear. Past experiences
And if you only want the beauty without learning how to handle the thorns, you will bleed and walk away.
Here’s the truth nobody tells you:
You water it. You give it sunlight. You protect it from harsh wind. And you wait.
It’s the same with people. You can’t argue someone into being soft.
You show up with consistency, with boundaries, with love... and sometimes nothing changes for a long time.
That’s where most people quit.
But it is POSSIBLE when you decide that love is not a reward for good behavior.
It’s possible when you learn to set boundaries and still care.
"I love you, but I won’t let you disrespect me." That’s love with a fence around it.
It’s possible when you remember this: you’re not watering them to change them.but because of the kind of person YOU chose to become.
Yes, it will cost you.
patience,eg, energy. Which is why you must also water your own garden.
You cannot pour from an empty cup.
And the wildest part?
Loving difficult people will change YOU more than it changes them.
You become less reactive.
You become more compassionate
You become stronger. Because you learned how to love without losing yourself.
Water, don’t drown.
Wear gloves. That’s boundaries. Hold the flower without letting it cut you to pieces. Some people are only in your life to teach you how to grow.
And don’t forget your own flowers.
The world already has enough people cutting flowers down because of one thorn.
We need more gardeners. People willing to stay, to be patient, to believe that thorns don’t cancel beauty.
Difficult? Yes.
Impossible? No.
what type of gardener are you becoming??

Some lessons don’t come from books but people and season that stretch us
* WHY WAITING HURTS SO MUCH
Waiting puts a heart on pause.
It’s hoping for an answer that doesn’t come.
It’s watching life move forward while you feel stuck in one place.
It’s the silence between a prayer and the manifestation.
The pain of waiting is checking your phone and seeing nothing.
It’s smiling in public while asking "how much longer?" on the inside.
It’s feeling like you’re in a room and the door is locked from the outside.
Waiting exposes us.
It shows our fears, our impatience, our need to control everything.
And that’s why so many people break in this place.
Because waiting starts to feel like rejection.
Like "maybe I’m not chosen or not enough." WHERE PATIENCE AND ENDURING COME IN
But then something shifts.
Pain introduces us to waiting.
Time introduces us to enduring.
Waiting asks "when?"
Enduring asks "who am I becoming while I wait?"
Enduring is not just waiting longer.
Enduring is growing while you wait.
It’s waking up tired and still choosing gratitude.
Patience is faith when there’s no proof.
First it shows us the pain.
Then it shows us the power we have to go through it.
The truth is this:
Not everything we wait for is meant to stay.
But everything we endure is meant to shape us.
Waiting teaches us to hope.
Enduring teaches us to become the kind of person who can carry what we’re hoping for.
Maybe the delay was protection.
Maybe the silence was to teach us how to hear ourselves.
Maybe the endurance was the training ground for the version of us that could actually carry what we’ve been praying for
To anyone in a waiting season right now:
You’re not behind.
You’re not forgotten.
You’re not being delayed. You’re being developed
Your season is coming.

I found this quote today and it sat on my chest:
_"sometimes you think that you want to disappear but all you really want is to be found."_
And it hit me. Hard.
Because let’s be honest...
"Disappear" is the word we use when we’re tired.
Tired of being strong.
Tired of explaining ourselves.
Tired of holding everyone together and no one asking if WE are okay.
"Disappear" is code for:
"I don’t want to talk about it."
"I don’t want to be the fixer, the strong one, the one who always understands."
It’s what we say when relationship feels heavy.
When you’re in a full house but you feel invisible.
When you have 1000 people around you but no one is really seeing YOU.
We think if we go quiet, if we pull back, if we vanish for a bit... maybe the pressure will stop.
Maybe the expectations will stop.
Maybe it will hurt less.
But the truth?
We don’t actually want to disappear.
All we really want is to be FOUND.
Found in our mess.
Found on the days we don’t have it together.
Found when we’re not productive, not smiling, not "okay."
We want someone to notice the silence.
To send the text that says "I know you said you’re fine but are you REALLY fine?"
To sit with us without trying to fix us.
To say "I see you. Even this version of you. And I’m not going anywhere."
We want to be known.
Not for what we do.
Not for what we can give.
But for who we are when the lights are off and the house is quiet.

I know that feeling. Where you want to ghost everyone just to breathe.

And to me?
I’m learning that the bravest thing I can do is not disappear.
It’s to let myself be found.
To say "I’m not okay today."
To let God and the right people come looking for me.
Because God is good at finding.
He finds us in the wilderness.
He finds us when we’re hiding.
He calls our name not to shame us, but to bring us home.
So if you feel like disappearing today...
Don’t.
Make the call.
You are not lost.
You are just waiting to be found and you'll be found ❤️

There’s a huge difference between needing someone and wanting them.
When you need someone, the relationship becomes a transaction.
“What can you do for me?”
That’s survival.
And survival relationships are exhausting.
Because you’re always counting.measuring.
Always scared that if you stop giving, the other person will leave you empty.
But when you want someone...
The question changes.
It stops being: *“What can you give me?”*
And it becomes: *“How can I help you grow?”*
That’s it. That’s the whole difference.
In that kind of relationship, nobody has to shrink.
You don’t have to play small so they feel big.
You don’t have to hide your wins so they don’t feel threatened.
Because both of you are already whole.
You’re not two empty cups begging to be filled.
You’re two full cups choosing to pour into each other.
You water me.
When I forget who I am, you remind me.
When I’m playing small, you call me higher.
When I’m chasing a dream that scares me, you clap the loudest.
You don’t compete with my growth. You celebrate it.*I water you.*
I see the version of you that you’re becoming and I don’t try to keep you stuck as who you were.
I give you space to change.
I hold you when you’re tired, and I push you when you’re scared.
And somehow... we both leave with more than we came with.
That’s what effortless feels like.
Not because it takes no work.
But because the work isn’t “keep me.”
The work is “let’s grow.”
No scorekeeping.
Just two people who decided: _I’m better with you, not because you complete me, but because you make me more of me._
That’s friendship.
That’s love.
Choose people who do the same for you.
Because the best relationships don’t drain you.
They grow you.
_I water you._
_You water me._
_And we both bloom._

*TIME DOESN’T WAIT FOR LOVE.*
Time doesn’t pause because you’re busy.
And the people we cherish?
They won’t always be one call away.
We act like we have forever with them.
Like their phone will always pick up.
Like their door will always be open.
But life is sneaky like that.
It gives us grief we didn’t see coming.
And before we know it, the people who were our everyday become our “we should catch up soon.”
Call your dad and ask him to tell that story again.
Send your friend the voice note you’ve been drafting for 3 days.
Because here’s what nobody tells you:
Sometimes, the ordinary afternoon you almost postponed becomes the memory you would give anything to relive
The picture you took with bad lighting but it’s now the one you stare at.
We spend so much of life waiting.
Waiting for the right time. for better words.for us to be more put together.for them to reach out first.
Only to discover that the moment was never waiting for us.
It was asking us to show up.
It was asking:
“Will you choose me even when it’s inconvenient?”
“Will you choose me even when you’re not at your best?”
“Will you choose me before the chance is gone?”
Love doesn’t need grand gestures.
Love needs presence.
It needs “I’m here.”
It needs “I thought of you.”
It needs showing up before the apology, before the regret, before the “I wish I had.”
One day we’ll all run out of tomorrows with certain people.
That’s not dark. That’s just true.
And the only way to beat that truth is to stop hoarding your love for a future that isn’t promised.
So today:
Text them.
Call them.
Visit them.
Say “I love you”
Time doesn’t wait for love.
But love can choose not to wait for time.
Who came to your mind while reading this?
Go message them now. I’ll wait.

😊 Does Love Fade? 💖
Love doesn't just wake up one day and disappear. It changes.Sometimes it gets neglected, gets tired, and if no one fights for it, it slowly loses its fire . Think of it like a flame that needs fuel to keep burning . Without effort, attention, and care, it dims and can eventually go out. The beauty of love is that it can grow, but it needs effort from both people involved. When you stop putting in the work, love doesn't necessarily die, but it changes. love doesn't fade in a blink. It fades slowly, often without you noticing . It's in the little things – the lack of communication, the ignored gestures, the unsaid words . And if no one stops to think, "Hey, what's going on here?" , it can slip away.
What fades isn't love itself; it's the effort, attention, and spark . But when two people are committed to making it work, love can withstand anything 💪. It can go through ups and downs
Take the story of a couple who've been together for years. They used to plan surprise dates, cook dinner together, and leave sweet notes for each other 💖. But life got busy, work got demanding, and they started taking each other for granted . They stopped making time for date nights, stopped saying "I love you" as often, and just existed in the same space . One day, they realized they were just roommates sharing a life, not a love. They chose to fight for it, started putting in the effort
Another example is like a phone battery . You charge it, and it works fine. But if you don't charge it for days, it dies . You can revive it with a charge, but if you keep ignoring it, it'll eventually be dead . Love needs that charge the little things, the effort, the care 💖.
Love is a choice – It's not always easy, but it's worth it. So, here are the questions: If you were to look back on your life 5 years from now, what would you regret more the love you let fade, or the love you fought for?
What's the most important thing you have learned about love from ur experience?
