Weekly reminder: “You can all things”

Every Friday for almost a year, my neighbor would leave his house at exactly 7:15 PM carrying an empty suitcase. Not a backpack. Not a travel bag. A full-sized suitcase. And every time he came back, it was still empty. At least, that's what it looked like. People noticed. The security guard noticed. The shop owner across the street noticed. Even my wife noticed. Nobody asked him about it because he wasn't the friendly type. Then one Friday he didn't come back. Saturday passed. Sunday passed. By Monday morning, an ambulance was parked outside his house. The rumor spread quickly. Some people said he was sick. Others said he'd been arrested. The truth was much stranger. A few weeks later, his younger brother came to clear out the house.

I don't know who this is for🙏🙏. But I'm glad I finally found this video. It was after watching that heartbreaking video of a 21year old boy battling kidney failure yesterday, that I became determined to look for this video. Believe it or not, a lot of sickness we suffer in Nigeria is as a result of what we consume. How do you sell acid in the name of gin? Imagine what this would do to your kidney, liver or any organ in your body. Anyways, this is an honest reminder for you to drink more water and less alcohol or any canned drink. But abstinence is the ultimate. Good morning and have a beautiful day y'all 🌞 🤗.

Keep your problems smaller than your life. A flat tire is a flat tire. A bad meeting is a bad meeting. A canceled flight is just an extra two hours. These things become catastrophes when you let them. But they stay manageable when you remember the depth of your real life, the people you love, the work you care about, the beautiful years still ahead. Zoom out. Fit your reaction to the size of the problem.

even in another universe, i hope your words find me again.

i used to leave the door open for everyone i loved. maybe out of hope, maybe out of cowardice, maybe because accepting a compassionate ending felt harder than keeping a dream alive. some enjoy the comfort of knowing it’s unlocked more than the idea of ever walking through the threshold. eventually, you will learn to love yourself enough to stop waiting to revisit old hellos.

Most people fear it when you go silent. Silence cuts sharper than words, it makes them question themselves, replay every move, wonder what they missed. They crave noise, even if it's fake reassurance, because quiet leaves them exposed. Your silence is pressure, it's control, it's the reminder that not everything needs to be explained. When you stop talking, they start unraveling. That's why silence isn't weakness, it's dominance.

Pay attention to who stays quiet when you win. Then remember: You veren't born to be applauded. You were born to become. WIN ANYWAY.

God’s kingdom values humility, purity, mercy, and endurance. What the world calls weakness, God calls blessing; and what looks like loss can actually be gain in His kingdom.

What’s a marriage lesson you learned from watching someone else’s marriage?

If you’re not married yet but hope to someday, pleaseeee.. Marry the one who listens to you. The one who listens to your rants, your fantasies and imaginations, your thoughts, your ideas, everything! Marry the one who is affectionate towards you. The one who gets lost in your being. Marry the one who treats you like a rare gift from God. Marry the one who loves holding your hands. Marry the one who worships with you and prays for you. Marry the one who holds you close when life feels heavy, and laughs with you when life feels light. Marry the one who makes you laugh silly. Yes, marry the funny one! Marry the one who dreams with you and isn’t scared to dive headfirst into life with you. Marry the one who loves to dance around the house with you. Marry the one who loves to get lost with you and loves to get found with you. Marry the one who sees all of you, loves all of you, wants all of you, and chooses all of you, every single day. Don’t settle for anything less please! Don’t settle for anything less than a love that feels like home to you. There are bad marriages but there are undeniably good ones too! Let yours be one of the beautiful ones. Please, don’t settle until you find your person! And be sure to be deserving of them too.

kindness is so rare people mistake it as flirting

Being rare means many people will admire the idea of having you in their life. They're drawn to your energy, your presence, your essence. But admiration alone doesn't equal capacity. Some people are fascinated by what you are, but unprepared for what you require. They enjoy the feeling of you, but not the responsibility of maintaining you. And that's where the disconnect begins. Because rarity isn't just about being desired, it's about being sustained. And not everyone who is drawn to you is equipped to keep you.

I booked a private, entire apartment' Airbnb for a staycation. At midnight, I heard footsteps in the kitchen. I grabbed a shoe, walked out, and found the host making noodles. He looked at me and said, Oh, I live in the pantry closet when guests book the main space 😭 Bro, WHAT?? 🍜🚪

Marriage is a blessing. Singleness is a blessing. Neither completes you-only Christ does. Anchor your identity in Him, not your relationship status.

If you lost everything today, what’s the first thing you’d rebuild: your network or your bank account?

This photo was taken in Brooklyn, New York around 1995. The lady in the center is Lil’ Kim, real name Kimberly Jones and that's her now by the right. She was the only female member of Junior M.A.F.I.A., a rap group started by The Notorious B.I.G. The shirtless man holding her is Biggie Smalls. He discovered Lil’ Kim and brought her into the group when she was still a teenager. The others are Lil’ Cease, Banger, and MC Klepto, all members of Junior M.A.F.I.A. from the same neighborhood. At the time they were just kids from Bed-Stuy hanging outside the neighborhood before any of them were famous. Biggie’s album _Ready to Die_ had just come out, and they shot this during that period. Two years later Biggie was killed in 1997. Lil’ Kim then went solo and dropped _Hard Core_ in 1996, becoming one of the biggest female rappers ever.

Many people say a relationship fails when love is gone. Yet some couples still love each other and break up, while others stay together even when the feelings aren't as strong as they once were. So what ends more relationships: lack of love, lack of effort, or lack of compatibility? Which one do you think causes the most damage, and why?
