You commot the thing wey don dey drain you

Something dey your life wey you no go begin am again today, now wey you don sabi wetin you sabi. You fit call am name under one second, and that one alone dey tell you how e still dey live for your mind. Di morning calm, e reasonable. Nothing need to gum for panic, and you fit still decide am now now.

Calendar wey get something wey dey repeat, wey small dread dey follow am. Jacket wey you dey always plan to fix. Di kain thickness of morning air before dem open window. Somewhere down, van door bang, engine start, den quiet again.

You dey stay because of wetin e don already cost you, and na exactly dat kain thinking dey keep people for something for years. Di hours don already pass. No amount of you still dey stay fit bring dem back, wey mean say na not real reason, e just dey feel like one because to waka comot go make di loss show face. Wetin e dey cost no be only di time wey e still dey chop. Na everything wey you for don yes to, if this thing no dey quietly hold di space.

Try di question from di other side. Instead make you dey ask if to leave, ask yourself if you go sign up for this today, for dis price, with full knowledge, and make you gree with di honest answer without you dey argue am. If na no, then to stay no be loyalty, e no be perseverance. Na decision wey you dey make again every single morning by di way you no dey make am, and to dress am as commitment don cost you pass any clean ending wey you for don do.

So today, one thing go end. Send di message, reject di recurring invitation, cancel di standing arrangement. One sentence, wey soft well well, without long explanation wey go invite negotiation wey you no even want.

Di space wey go open go feel strange for like one week, den e go start to feel like room. You don dey carry this quietly for long time and nobody notice, even yourself sef. Drop am. Something better dey wait to enter dat space.
