Life is getting a little too real.

Someone I consider an older brother is getting married today and I’m still so shocked. The first thought that came to mind when I heard the news wasn’t congratulations, it was how he plans to fund their life together in Nigeria. That alone says a lot about where we are right now.
It’s a little sad that this isn’t the version of our 20s we once dreamed of. At 18, I genuinely believed I’d have it all figured out by 23. Finish uni, go to law school, land my big girl job and just be rich rich😂. Simple as that.
But now, even the happy moments come with a side of anxiety. Because in Nigeria today, joy is a luxury you have to be able to afford.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
