Relax, you're not late in life


Some folks really act like life is a group assignment and Simon already handed in his paper at twenty, married with the matching furniture set, and built his little empire by twenty-five. Cute for him. But that doesn’t mean you’re lagging behind like a software update on bad Wi-Fi. Life is not a race; it’s more like wandering through a bazaar—everyone picking what calls their spirit. Some choose family young, some choose soft life first, some choose chaos and character development. And honestly? All are valid. Your story is marinating. Let it simmer until it tastes like you.
So, tell me—if everyone stopped pretending to be ahead, would half these “milestones” even matter?

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 ...
