NORMALISE TELLING US ABOUT YOUR FAILURES

I just told some people recently that I'm a keypad warrior. As in, my social life is extremely wacky and introverted. Don't meet me in real life, I hate having fun 😪🤢 

So, I have this friend who runs a podcast where she talks about SELF-ESTEEM 😍 Sincerely, her last episode about social media and self-esteem was greatly impactful and I've decided to reminisce some of it in today's blog post 📝

Yesterday, I checked my schedule and got really angry 😞 I discovered that I've been living a rectangular life and even for the next one week, nothing is going to change 😭 I just wake up, check twitter, get to work, eat, and repeat the same thing every day 😰😰

I've been trying really hard to change this routine but it seems I was getting myself wrong. Then I asked myself, "Am I being productive each day?" 🤔 The answer was YES! 🤭🤭 I know my life is boring, maybe I'm not doing what is easy, but doing what was right 😶

Let's cut the story short. How about we talk about failures? Do you quit when you fail or start again? 🤷🏾‍♀️ Social media has made us felt like failure is a stigma and then have people talking about their success stories on the internet 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️

I don't know how this feels but it's very okay to fail. If there is a need to spill it out, do that. You can even have a "winlure-circle" 😉 (I mean, people who you spill out your wins and failures to knowing y'all got each other back every moment) 😁 As much as you would keep hearing me say I learned this and that, I made this and that, my failure story this year alone has totaled the combined failure in the past 22 years of my life and I have great friends who always support me 💃🏾💃🏾

This year alone, I've applied for more than 60 jobs and got none. I also lost a remote job because I wasn't good enough. I don't even have savings and I hear people shouting cowrywise and piggyvest to my ears. Lol. I dey beg for money if I no get, pride no go feed me. 😂😂😂😂

These things ain't talked about enough, maybe when we talk about it, you will stop hiding behind your 1/10 success 👌🏾Maybe when you spill them out, you will be relieved ✌🏾Afraid people will mock you? Leemao🤣 Stop trying to impress broke people by going broke 🤷🏾‍♀️ Don't let insecurity make you feel like you are the only one failing. Everybody fails, Ólóun gbò🤞🏾

Now, give the same energy to your wins and setbacks. It definitely means you are alive and trying your best 🤭 There is too much wahala in this country for people to think your life is very perfect, they will just wound your DM with their account number 🤣🤣 Emotions are not meant to be bottled inside, you are meant to spill them out. I will shepe for anybody that tells me not to cry when I feel like doing so 😏🙄

In the meantime, try to dey have fun, problem no dey finish. Not having fun is one of my failures in life because I don't know how to 😰 Also, always try to help and listen to people's feelings (not love feelings o) Be a great imperfect human being! 😍💃🏾

Have a good day! 🔥❤
