@Suicide: Not the Option

 @Suicide: Not the Option

Life can sometimes feel overwhelming. The challenges you face—academic stress, financial struggles, marital upheaval, emotional distress, career adversity, health downturn, social stigmatisation, other life burdens—may seem unbearable. You may feel trapped, lost, or convinced that there is no way out. However, ending your life is never the answer. Suicide is a permanent response to a temporary problem, and no matter how heavy your burdens feel, there is always hope. What seems unbearable today may become a distant memory tomorrow.


Recent reports of young people taking their lives, including the tragic case of a 200-level student of the University of Ilorin who died by suicide due to financial hardship, are heartbreaking. You may relate to such struggles, but understand this: tough times do not last forever. Every challenge has an expiry date, and with the right approach, you can overcome them.


What Should You Do Instead?


▪️Speak Up and Seek Help


You are not alone. Talk to someone—a trusted friend, a family member, a counselor, or a religious leader. There is strength in sharing your pain, and help is available. People care about you more than you realize.


▪️Believe in Tomorrow


No matter how bad today looks, tomorrow holds possibilities you cannot yet see. Many who once felt hopeless later found success, happiness, and purpose. You have a bright future ahead of you, even if you cannot see it now.


▪️Find Healthy Coping Mechanisms


Engage in positive activities—reading, exercise, music, volunteering, or spiritual practices. These can provide comfort and help shift your focus from despair to hope.


▪️Seek Financial or Emotional Support


If financial hardship is weighing you down, explore available resources. Scholarships, grants, student work programs, and community support exist. Reach out to organizations, religious bodies, or even individuals who may be willing to help.


▪️Remind Yourself That You Matter


You are valuable. Your existence impacts others in ways you may never fully grasp. The world needs you, your dreams, your contributions, and your unique gifts.


No matter how hard life seems, suicide is not the option. Hold on, reach out, and remember—your story is still being written. No matter how dark the night, the sun shall rise again! A brighter chapter is ahead of you!


Yours in fulfilment,

@Smiling: The Magic, The Mystery

Image
@Smiling: The Magic, The Mystery Smiling is one of the simplest and most powerful actions we can take, yet it holds a surprising amount of magic and mystery. A genuine smile is more than just a facial expression—it’s a universal language that transcends culture, age, and even species. It’s a subtle gesture with profound effects on our emotions, relationships, and well-being. 📌The Science Behind a Smile A smile does more than communicate friendliness; it triggers a biological response. When you smile, your brain releases endorphins, dopamine, and serotonin—the chemicals responsible for happiness and relaxation. Research shows that even a forced smile can lift your mood, as the act of smiling itself sends signals to your brain that you’re happy, creating a positive feedback loop. This natural reaction means that smiling doesn’t just reflect how we feel; it can actually create positive feelings. This concept, often called the “facial feedback hypothesis,” suggests that our expressions ca...

@Thank You for Leaving Me

@Thank You for Leaving Me Sometimes, the greatest blessings come disguised as heartbreak. It’s in the moments of loss and separation that we find clarity, growth, and transformation. To my ex, to my former friend, to my former colleague, to my former roommate, to my former coursemate, to my estranged relative, to my former pastor, to my former business partner, to my former confidant, the one who once held a space in my life, I want to say thank you—for leaving me. Sometimes, the most profound growth stems from the deepest wounds. At first, your departure felt like a storm—sudden, destructive, and chaotic. But now, with clarity that only time can provide, I see it for what it truly was: a necessary turning point. So, this is my heartfelt thank-you for leaving me. When you left, you unknowingly forced me to confront the parts of myself I had long ignored. I had relied on you—your presence, validation, and company—as a crutch. When that crutch disappeared, I had no choice but to stand on...
