Bros, your tweet reminded me of a scenario that happened the day before yesterday.
A friend called me around 9 p.m. We grew up together, but he currently lives in Ogun State with his wife and child.
We started with our usual conversation, talking about life, family, work and everything in between. But somewhere along the line, the conversation became emotional. Before we knew it, we were both crying. Each of us had our own reasons for the tears, but somehow, we understood exactly what the other person was going through.
Itβs not easy to watch your family be a source of help and happiness to other people, while itβs their turn to payback the kindness of your parents they turn a blind eyes to your suffering.
I can tell you that many people are dying silently these days because they have nobody they can talk to about their pain. People are frustrated beyond what many of us can imagine, but they keep smiling, pretending everything is fine.
Sometimes, that phone call, that friend who listens, or simply having someone to share your burden with can make a huge difference.
I agree with you that we really need to start checking on one another because you never truly know what someone is going through behind the smile.
Dan girman Allah, if youβre depressed, donβt suffer in silence. Everyone is fighting battles you may not see. Talk to someone. Talk to me, Iβll listen. Youβre not alone.
