Your recent posts have this tone. You want to do more, but can't and then feel bad that you can't. I will say that you should not beat yourself up about it.
As adults we have our priorities. Do not apologise for the priority you have, and don't allow anyone make you feel bad for it. Frankly, I struggle to even communicate with other people in my own home after work, not to talk about people that aren't physically present.
You are a nice person who is wonderful to talk to, a genuine soul who is smart and kind. There aren't a lot of people like that in this world, so once people meet you they want to be friends with you and stay in communication with you. For you, this is a blessing and a curse.
The sad truth is that you too are overwhelmed. Like any young person in Nigeria, you are beset by worries and stress. You have a taxing job and other things to deal with. This post even alludes to your regrets.
I'd end by saying that "those who mind, don't matter and those who matter, don't mind". Don't bother too much, just do your best and leave the rest.
I pray that God grants you peace, and all your heart's intentions. Amen.
Ngl, I’ve been quite cynical, overwhelmed and burnt out of late. And it showed in the piece. Adulting is a whole production with so many moving parts. If there’s one thing, I am grateful for, it is the fact that breathing is involuntary because life never really stops and I’m pretty sure I’d forget to breathe if the act wasn’t automatic. Thank you so much for this feedback (I needed it) and reply. And sorry, my response took so long, I had to sit with it and come up with right response.
Big Dan, no be only you dey this "I just wan dey abeg" ship.
These days, I feel much I'm watching myself drift through life like one not interested in living the life. Mind you, I am appreciative of the gift of life but with many downs and fails, I feel like 'what's the need to try again?'.
I find closure in this writing. It tells me that I'm not alone in the uneventful season I seem to be treading on.
Yet, I believe what we need is to be available for ourselves and do the best we can.

Again, it's always good to hear from you.
Heyyyy Yemi, good to hear from you as well. It's been a minute.
Good to hear that it resonated with you. At the end of the day, as you said, we can only do the best we can and leave the rest.
