Dear Bidemi,
Everything is going to be OK. Take every single day as it comes. It will be much easier for you to navigate life if you take every single day as it comes, as opposed to thinking that your life is over because of the situation you’re in.
Be resilient and understand that you have a purpose in life. You don’t have to be dependent on anyone. Your life is in control of your own hands.
Be a bit more vulnerable.
Learn to ask for help.
The world is your oyster and you’re going to do great and impactful things.
