GIRL ARE YOU SERIOUSLY OKAY?

To the girl who’s tired, uncertain, and waiting on God. You’re not behind; you’re becoming.

GIRL, ARE YOU SINCERELY OKAY?

You keep saying “I’m fine,” but deep down, your heart knows otherwise.

This isn’t weakness, it’s exhaustion.

Read this slowly. Breathe again.

Girl, are you sincerely okay?

Not the “I’m fine” you tell your friends,

not the “I’m good” you post online but the kind of okay that lets you breathe without pretending.

You’ve been strong for too long, haven’t you?Smiling through pain, showing up when your soul is tired, carrying weight while quietly drowning

There’s a kind of exhaustion no amount of sleep can fix,

the kind that comes from fighting invisible battles.

You’re trying to hold it together,

but some days it feels like life is holding you by a thread.

Some days, strength looks like tears.

Some days, faith sounds like silence.

If you’ve been holding it all together, this piece is for you.

Girl, you deserve to pause.

You deserve to exhale.

You deserve to admit that you’re not always okay

and that doesn’t make you weak; it makes you human.

You don’t have to fake strength to be loved.

You don’t have to smile through breaking seasons.

It’s okay to sit at the feet of God and say,

“Lord, I’m not okay, but I trust You’ll fix what I can’t.”

Healing starts the moment you stop pretending.

Peace begins when you stop performing.

And growth comes when you let God handle the parts you can’t control.

Girl, take the pressure off.

I know unemployment makes you look like you’re lazy.

You can’t even explain what’s happening around you.

You’ve prayed over family battles,

you’ve listened to another sermon on “waiting seasons,”

and now you’re confused — wondering when your own breakthrough will come.

You’ve done enough. You’ve tried enough.

Now let grace do the rest.

Girl,

You’re not behind.

You’re not forgotten.

You’re just in process, and that’s perfectly fine.

So next time someone asks, “Are you okay?”

You can whisper, “Not fully… but I’m healing.”

And that — that’s a beautiful kind of okay.

Share this with a sister who needs a reminder that she’s not alone. 🤍

DON'T BE FRUSTRATED

Many at times, you don't look like what you are going through  Because you have tried the mastery skills of hiding and managing situations and have gotten used to it  Many at times, you wonder why people who has done the worst things ever, still get more favour than you doing the right thing  Many at times, Guys has played you even the believers and you kept wondering if the fault is from you because you are not just getting it right in relationships  Sometimes, you always try to understand the situation but the truth is, you are tired of it and most time you find it hard to let go and forget the situation. Sometimes, you just want to follow the crowd but you realize in between that you got lost and can't just proceed with the plan.. I know things can be difficult  I know many people or various things are frustrating  I know it's not easy living in circles with no progression I know you have plans but it just doesn't go the right way  So dear sisters, ...

THE JOURNEY

Last 2 year, I started a journey on my health and I'm grateful. Even though I wasn't consistent especially after the coaching session but I had to strive to ensure the journey continues even though I fall, I still get myself back  Imagine being a lover of heels and you can't wear it for too long Having to sweat profusely, Having knee ache pains, Sewing new dresses because you can't wear your favorite dress Imagine lot's more because of weight gain, That was me.. Before you go further and think it's only food that cause weight gain.  Mine wasn't, I could say it was stay at home, free hands and no stress kind of reason (I don't know how best to put it) I know I'm not a slim person but I was already weighing 110kg. Lolz, 2 bags of cement. Then I told myself Temilade, it has to change  I found the solution DIET, It was at the point where I realized I couldn't be myself and also seeing changes, I decided to take my health serious  I subscribed to a di...

A DAILY REMINDER

I know you are going through all shades of different phase, I know you are thinking of what next, I know the hardship is tough and you feel your strength is failing but, This is a reminder To relax, To not get angry over small things, To stay calm. A daily reminder To be yourself, To not care what people think, To know you can be anything. To love yourself, To not hurt yourself, To not work yourself up. This is a daily reminder That you are beautiful, That you can be hardworking  That you are amazing, That you will succeed. To always have hope, To have faith, To know everything will be okay. A daily reminder That you have made it so far already, That you haven't given up, And you are going to be amazing. Don't give up. Keep holding on and believing.  It's a start of a new year and it's too early to feel pressured or insecure God cannot fail you, Be persist in that Job hunt Be persist in trusting God  Be expectant, don't loose guard  Everything will fall in place...
