Craziest thing about the never-ending search for accomplishment is that it could all be gone in one second. Perhaps the best thing is this approach: to just live and be content with living. If only it wasn’t such a struggle to do just this in Nigeria. Alas.

Who knew even simply existing could be so damn hard due to circumstances regarding our place of birth😔

Thanks for the read. Seems like we both share. For me, i stopped pressuring myself and go at my own pace. How do i go at my own pace is by embracing life itself. Create your own happiness and never live for others but yourself. Appreciate the little you have. It is good to crave the finest things of life but assure yourself that someday, you will get them all. Life is a step, more like entering secondary school until you graduate to achieving your goals. It ain’t easy but that is life for us. Love yourself more and embrace life the way it is and work to change how life is for you, which is the step we take slowly. Never compare yourself to others.

Good to be in Fola's Head again. Self discovery is such a critical point in one's life and as soon as you unlock it, life becomes clearer and you're able to channel your energy into achieving fullness. Great read Fola.

“Constricted and not elaborate” exactly everything i intended it to be, i mean Fola’s head is a mess, it’s Fola’s Thoughts, it doesn’t have to be perfect. Why does everything have to be elaborate when it can just be.. simple.

This comes further gratifies me cause it was my intention for it to be as simple as it can. Why is it hard to just simply exist.

Why does everything have to be elaborate when it can just be simple

Not everything has to be elaborate, just important facts.

Why is it hard to simply exist?

1. The world itself didn't exist simply. For example, look at the process of childbirth from pregnancy to delivery.

2. Humans who could make it simple are mostly making it as hard as possible.

Solutions and innovation come through our thoughts, if very efficient.

My response "constricted, not elaborate" was just a personal opinion on the world and existence,

of course, it's Fola's thoughts

Our thoughts shape our minds leading to the strengths of our hearts.

The simplicity you speak of is in the strength of the heart.

When it comes to mankind and existence.

The word "simple" itself is complicated 😄. It's just how it is, created that way, endorsed by humans.

but can be easier through knowledge and comprehension.

What you know brings less harm but it still does.

The Head, our thoughts, minds and the heart are man's greatest assets. If trained properly, everything gets easier.

Just trying to give ease, not complications. 💪🏼

Well, your thoughts are valid😊. Same way I think mine is. For me it’s “simple existence” for you it’s “elaborate”- To each their own perspective
