CONTROL YOUR NARRATIVE
Mary was single at 31 and she always make post on social media that marriage is not important for a lady and that those who are married are in bondage. At 34 she was married and she is posting pictures of her and her hubby on daily basis. She keeps telling us her life revolves around her husband. Hmmmm... What of Her followers that agreed to her noise makings?... Am Sorry for them...
Jane asked her friend Julie whether it was financially okay for her to marry a banker. Julie said it was financial suicide because a banker earning 575$ cannot afford you a decent life in Lagos. Jane listened to her and said no to the proposal from Ken. Two years after Julie married a secondary school teacher earning 200$ She earns far more than her husband and nobody is hearing about it.
Matilda was ranting on Facebook that she does not contribute money to run the home. She insisted it is the sole duty of the man. Many people liked her status update. Many who read her update prepared for showdowns with their husbands. Little did they know that Matilda's husband has been out of job for 10 months and she is the one feeding the family.
Dear, don't let anyone control the narratives for you. Many people's opinions tend to hide their hurts. They will tell you what sounds like WOW but go behind to do the sensible thing. Your home will crash and they will still be in marriage and you will be wondering why.
Control the narratives. The happiness of your home is more important than any Wow idea you want to get from social media.
#WISDOM is the watchword... DO not allow Facebook updates to decide how you live your lives.... Because 90% of what you see on social media are just fake. They portray the opposite.
Majority of the people on social media live a fake life, they dish out advise and do the other. A particular girl on a social network rants and writes trash about men, but she just got married this year. And she must have deceived a lot of ladies.
Just do whatever rocks your boat, just as our faces are different so is our problems different.
I have really learnt not sharing all my problems with friends, because no one sees the heart. I just pray and allow my spirit leads me.
you nailed it all
Nice piece
