I broke down reading this..I know I have been going through a lot been trying to keep it together at this point I am just tired..tired and back to depression again but I am grateful this came way..thank you hauwa
This reminded me of July. I just woke up and started crying. My siblings thought I was running mad. In fact, I was weeping in original ekun egbere. I was in pains and I didn't know why. I guess reflecting on the good times in life helps and makes the pain bearable. Being thankful too also helps, but sometimes, it feels like there's nothing to be thankful for. Always remember that there's someone that is literally dying to be in your shoes.
I hope that your friend gets better and that you find a bigger and way more better opportunity. Also, you'll find a toaster that'll buy you Ferrari. I love you, Hauwa😊❤️❤️
I always look forward to your newsletters. I find them relatable.
Thank you Hauwa for this. I sat with my parents yesterday discussing debts, and life and opportunities passed me since the beginning of this year with my sister encouraging speech of "Asiri o n bo" I don't even know how to translate that verbatim and I be transcriber oo🤣🤣. After it all I just ended the note with Alhamdulilahi Alhamdulilahi Alhamdulilahi. For life, for health, for family, for friends, for opportunities to come, for hardship this October de bring back to back, for hard decisions that will be made and most especially for you Hauwa. Thank you and I love you sis 🤗✍️
Reading this really took me back to my own pain....... I lost my mum September and the kind of pain I felt and I'm still feeling I do not wish it on anyone
But as you've said, I'm here trying to focus on things I should be grateful for. It hurts so much I want it to stop💔💔
Gosh, going through the comments puts life into perspective. So many people seem to be having such a tough time, I wish I could share what little peace I have with you all.
I went through this letter thinking how ridiculously relatable it is, except while Hauwa’s had a tough October, the entirety of 2022, literary till this very moment, has been an emotional rollercoaster/avalanche for me…lol bush baby no cry pass me this year.
It’s hard. it’s really bloody hard sometimes, but like Hauwa said, what is coming is better than what has passed; and as long as God lives, there will always be light at the end of the tunnel. We simply may not see it yet.
I pray for us all, that through whatever deity we serve, we find fortitude of mind and strength to brave through our afflictions and come out the victors we are.
We all face certain downturns at times, but we all find solace in the possibility that it could've been far worse than it is. We trudge forward nonetheless
Just read Hauwa's newsletter (Put Your Pain In Perspective) to be honest it's just what I wanted at the moment, I am going through a lot (: but sometimes we just need to pause and be grateful for that which we have and for the things yet to come.... Thank you so much Hauwa
Hauwa! To think i got your email notification and i postponed opening it, but for some reason something pushed me to open it now. If bush baby did not cry more than you, then i don't know what better analogy to use for mine. It's been a tough month for a month i am meant to be my happiest. I constantly find myself questioning a lot but i guess this was the perfect reminder to be grateful and i just realized everything i feel that i lack, there is another opportunity to get it back but someone out there doesn't have that Grace! Thank you, Hauwa. This one hit home so i had to write back. This was much needed therapy. Thank you Hauwa, Thank you <3
I doubt there're words that can ease your pain when it hasn't ran its course.
Its okay to cry, I do wish tears could come easier for me sometimes, cos all I resort to is screaming hard into my pillows till I'm breathless, sometimes in the dead of the night. Yet most people around me feel I should have more cause to be happy and they have a point. I don't think I have had a tougher year than this in my over 3 decades of existence.
This up here is therapy for you as much as for many here, thank you for sharing Hauwa globu.
As my uncle would say, 'It is morning yet on creation day'.

Keeping push, don't give up. Breakthrough is definitely coming your way

I composed sth that seem like a suicide note yesterday and posted on my status (not like I’m bold enough to do it🙄)
Anyways,it was like a cry for attention I needed someone to give me a long warm hug and tell me to let it out
All i seem to be getting is motivation upon motivation,advice upon advices
I want u to shut up n hug me let me cry my heart out,don’t give me no mumbo jumbo talk
You are a special person Hauwa❤️
Oh my! Thank you for this piece. It definitely changed my perspective, to be grateful for what I have now. Many have had it worse
This is sadly relatable.
We all face certain downturns at times, but we all find solace in the possibility that it could've been far worse than it is. We trudge forward nonetheless
Many of us needed this. Thank you 👏🏾
This was deep and soothing ♥️♥️🥰
Love your work

i'm tired
Your post is not complete if i don't laugh at the beginning, midway or at the end. Thanks for writing this for me.
May we all find a way to deal with our pains and may God give us strength.

Thank you for this Hauwa🫂💕. My heart sank a little when I saw Rico’s name; it’s heartbreaking. 💔
