Being better for yourself, not for others

 Hello readers! Today, we're going to talk about something that we all know deep down, but still forget to practice - being better for ourselves, not for others.

Let's face it, most of us spend a lot of time trying to impress or please others. We dress up, speak a certain way, and behave in a particular manner, all to gain the approval of those around us. We do things we don't like, eat food we don't enjoy, and even pursue careers we're not passionate about, all because we want to fit in with the crowd.

But what if I told you that trying to be better for others is not only futile but also a waste of time? Think about it - if you're trying to please everyone else, you're never going to be satisfied with yourself. You'll constantly be chasing someone else's version of success, instead of pursuing your own dreams and aspirations.


Being happy and being yourself
So, here's a suggestion - why not focus on being better for yourself? Think about what makes you happy, what makes you feel fulfilled, and what you want to achieve in life. Pursue your passions, take risks, and don't be afraid to fail. Remember, failure is not the opposite of success; it's part of the journey to success.


And here's the best part - when you focus on being better for yourself, you'll naturally attract the right people into your life. You'll find like-minded individuals who share your passions and interests. You'll build relationships based on mutual respect and understanding, rather than on superficial things like appearance or social status.

Being better for yourself is more liberating than you can ever imagine   

So, what are you waiting for? Start focusing on being better for yourself, not for others. Be the best version of yourself that you can be, and watch as everything else falls into place. And who knows, you might just end up amusing others with your newfound confidence and happiness!

Nimpost Ama Nisimpost?

You ever sat there scrolling your feed, fingers itchy, wondering—“Nimpost ama nisimpost?” 😅 Because let’s be real, in 2025 having a relationship is not just about love—it’s a whole PR project. The moment you tag bae, the whole world feels entitled to a seat at your dinner table. aded13a1-c639-4bd3-a8fd-c97fd4d0554b.png  When your relationship is a public project, not a private journey.    Challenge number one: the audience. Your relationship instantly stops being two people and becomes a community project. Aunties in diaspora, haters from high school, your ex lurking with popcorn. Everyone is “watching.” One fight and suddenly your post of “my forever” looks like satire. Challenge number two: the pressure. Public love has deadlines. You must like, comment, post couple pics or else…“Is everything okay?” Bro, sometimes I just want to love silently without feeling like a content creator for my own relationship. Challenge number three: the exit strategy. Private breakups are...

Why Money + Love = 2: A Happy New Year’s Controversy

Happy New Year, everyone! We’ve officially stepped into a brand-new year of chaos, excitement, and questionable resolutions. Some of you might be working on that six-pack (good luck with that), others may have vowed to be a better version of yourselves (again, best of luck), and a few of you probably just aim to survive the year (I’m with you). But let’s not kid ourselves: there’s a far more pressing question that needs answering. Are we really living in a world where money and love equal happiness? Can these two opposites actually add up to a perfect balance in life? Now, brace yourselves, because I’m about to drop a controversial hot take: Money and love are like 1 + 1 = 2. Think about it. Love alone is nice, but if you’re broke, how far does that love go? It’s hard to cuddle up in front of a fireplace when your electricity’s been cut off for the third time this month. But money alone? Don’t even get me started. You may have enough cash to buy a yacht, but it’s not much fun if you’re...

Why We All Need to Stop Running Away From Discomfort (But We Probably Won’t)

  Okay, let’s get real. We all have that one thing we do when life throws us an uncomfortable situation: we run. Yep, we ghost our problems, just like we ghost those half-baked Tinder matches or the leftover pizza in the fridge (don’t act like you don’t know what I’m talking about). But let’s be honest—avoiding discomfort is the ultimate cop-out. It feels good in the moment, sure. When someone brings up that awkward conversation about your personal life, or heaven forbid, asks you to take selfies when you’re just not feeling it (I mean, I’m not a Kardashian), it’s easy to do what I call the “silent retreat” move. Just shut down, walk away, and hope that if you ignore it long enough, it’ll magically fix itself. Spoiler alert: it won’t. But Why Do We Do This? It’s not like we’re all secretly introverts running away from human interaction (though, if you are, I totally understand). No, we avoid discomfort because it’s... uncomfortable. Shocking, right? But here’s the kicker: avoiding ...
