Welcome brother... you can, take your seat.๐
<p>Y'all see that screenshot right there?</p><p>That's my lil brother.</p><p>You see that saying.. "until a child tastes the heat of the hearth, they think their mother is just exaggerating the fire?" That is literally this whole screenshot in one sentence.</p><p>When I was his age, I was already deep in the trenches. Working, pushing, figuring out life the hard way. I didn't even have pictures of myself back then.. not because I hated photos, but because my head was too full of survival to care about posing.</p><p>And this same boy? Every time he saw me looking serious, working, or skipping social gatherings, heโd look at me like I was overdoing it.<strong><em> "Why are you always like this? Life is not that hard, calm down."</em></strong></p><p>One could tell, he was speaking from a place of zero contact with the heat, totally unaware of what it took to keep things running.</p><p>Fast forward to 300 level. Small school stress and adult proximity just touch him slightly, and the boy is already typing:ย </p><p><strong><em>"Life don hard pass to dey take pictures."?</em></strong></p><p>Guyyyy... no be only me go laugh this laugh o..๐๐, wait.. like you mean you don smell life small?๐ญ๐๐ but honestly, itโs just the ultimate proof.ย </p><p>You can talk from now till next year, but nobody truly understands the pepper in your stew until it burns their own tongue.</p><p>Now heโs standing in that exact spot where even smiling for a random photo feels like extra labor.</p><p>ย Welcome to the real world, my guy. At least now you know I wasn't just being dramatic...๐๐</p><p>Pele aburo.. ndo nwanne m nwoke..๐</p><p><br/></p>
