i needed this reminder today as the world continues to test my patience and commitments. these last 5 weeks have been a blur of hectic travel, quality time with my loved ones, work projects, and side hustle planning. i haven't been able to come up for air, i've had two panic attacks this month, and the migraines? chile.⁣⁠
⁣⁠
but i pulled this card today and it was the perfect reminder that my life is mine, everything about me is purposeful, and even though it doesn't feel like it right now, shit is happening exactly the way it was meant to.⁣⁠

yesterday, the nigerian government opened fire on

yesterday, the nigerian government opened fire on peaceful protestors after completing multiple questionable acts. CCTV cameras were disabled. a 4 p.m. curfew was issued in the middle of the day leaving little to no time to get home. (if you know nigeria, you know traffic is horrendous). this massacre (𝘭𝘦𝘵’𝘴 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘪𝘵 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘴) was planned. they prepared for this. not just in lekki, but all over. ⁣⁣⁣⁠
⁣⁣⁣⁠
october 20, 2020 will be a day to remember for the rest of our lives. the nigerian government has blood on their hands. yet again. but this time, it is for the world to see. ⁣⁣⁣⁠
⁣⁣⁣⁠
if we give a fuck about these countries we were so hype to visit last year for the “homecoming,” it’s our duty to use our voices. this message is for everyone. it’s time we all educate ourselves on what is happening in the motherland. let this show us all that police brutality is universal. ⁣⁣⁣⁠
⁣⁣⁣⁠
i’m so proud of this generation of changemakers, taking a stand against the violence that has been happening for years, and fighting for 𝘴𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦 human rights. i am so so proud, but equally as terrified. but there are ways for us to help:⁣⁣⁣⁠
⁣⁣⁣⁠
𝐝𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐞: head over to @we.are.ndas and @feminist.co. i’ll be adding the links to my bio this evening and any other credible fundraising orgs.⁣⁣⁣⁠
𝐣𝐨𝐢𝐧: via peace protests in your neighborhoods. remember to be safe!⁣⁣⁣⁠
⁣⁣𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞: utilizing hashtags is so important right now. it’s how most of us are receiving information. use hashtags #endsars #endswat #endsarsnow #sarsmustgo⁣⁣⁣⁠
⁣⁣⁣⁠
p.s. there are many of us that didn’t grow up in nigeria but are still connected through traditions, family, and history. it’s okay for you to stand up for your country, you are equally just as nigerian despite what many will tell you. i am completely outside of my comfort zone with this, but we still have voices and there is still so much we can do stateside. the most important things being educating ourselves and sharing as much as we can.⁣⁣⁣⁠

that’s 24 months of fighting the urge to choose a blade for a quick fix that’s never really a fix.⁣⁠
⁣⁠
it’s 104 weeks of talking myself off the ledge and choosing a better coping mechanism even if said coping mechanism is drawing a line on my wrist where I so desperately want to puncture.⁣⁠
⁣⁠
It’s 731 days of making decisions that are not only good for me, but good for my loved ones too and not having them search my body for new markings.⁣⁠
⁣⁠
it’s 17544 hours of silently celebrating daily wins, because i know this was accomplished by me, for me only. for the first time, i truly did this for me.⁣⁠
⁣⁠
this will most likely be my last yearly update on my self-mutilation journey, but i wanted to share this joy with you. i wanted to share this with those who may be starting their journeys again. i celebrate you all because you can do hard things, and you showing up each day to this fight is evidence of that.⁣⁠
⁣⁠
i am proud of my progress. it has shown me my discipline but it has also shown me a new appreciation for the strength i didn’t think i had.⁣⁠

🍃 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘩𝘶𝘨𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘵 𝘣𝘶𝘵𝘵𝘰𝘯. mr. smith and i masked up and came home two weeks ago for some much-needed love from our east coast family. i have not felt this loved in such a long time. i haven't eaten this well in such a long time. boston + new york, we've missed you, you dirty bitches.⁣⁣⁠
⁣⁣⁠
🍃 𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘭𝘦𝘥𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘺 𝘨𝘳𝘰𝘸𝘵𝘩. with coming home, I've realized just how much I've outgrown certain environments and people. this isn't a negative experience, it was actually quite reaffirming to feel both my mind and body reject energies it no longer has the patience for. doing the work shows you just how much bullshit you were willing to put up for the sake of comfort. doing the work shows you just how much you love you.⁣⁣⁠
⁣⁣⁠
🍃 𝘣𝘢𝘣𝘺 𝘴𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘴𝘯'𝘵 𝘣𝘢𝘣𝘺 𝘴𝘪𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦. she's a 17 year old, with lofty goals and an attitude to match 😂. but most importantly, baby sis doesn't need protecting anymore. baby sis has a strength about her that is out of this world powerful.⁣⁣⁠
⁣⁣⁠
🍃 𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘰𝘯 𝘮𝘺 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 (safely, of course). @melaniesantos.co my forever catalyst, loved spending the evening with you with good food and our usual raw conversations. love you.⁣⁣⁠
⁣⁣⁠
🍃 𝘮𝘳. 𝘴𝘮𝘪𝘵𝘩 💕. you patient, loving, ridiculous man.⁣⁣⁠
⁣⁣⁠
it's almost friday (we thank black baby jesus), tell me your happy things!⁣⁣⁠
