You go survive this one

This na hard period wey don pass, but you still dey here, you dey stand strong, you dey make your coffee. Both tin be true, but na only one dem dey notice. Di kettle dey slowly boil. Light dey enter di wall di way wey e dey always do, whether di year dey fine or e no fine. You don survive worse pass this before, and di proof dey stand for kitchen.

Di cup wey get small crack for di edge, wey you dey always plan to change. Person car for road wey no wan start, but e still start. Fridge wey dey find im sound and hold am. Your own hand, wey dey warm round di cup, dey do di normal tin while everything else dey noisy.

Hard years no dey announce wen dem go end, and na dat one dey make dem heavy pass. No signal, no moment wey somebody go tell you say di worst don pass, so di mind go fill dat silence with assumption say na so tin be now. Di reason why dat assumption dey convincing na because you no fit see comot from inside am, bad period go flatten di future to be like di present, and e dey do dat to everybody, every time, no matter dia situation. Na trick of where you dey stand, e no be true picture of your life.

Ask wetin you sabi well well, no be wetin you dey feel. You don pass through hard times before, and every single one of dem don end, no be say you outsmart am, na because you still dey there wen e end. Dat one no be small tin, and e no be luck. Na di only method wey dey work, and e only ask for one quality, na di willingness to still dey around tomorrow too. Nothing wey happen dis year don comot dat one from you. E just make e hard for you to notice say you still get am.

So today, do one tin wey di version of you for six months go thank you for. Small tin, ordinary tin, specific tin. A walk, one call wey you return, one bill wey you open. No be say e go fix di year, but na message wey you dey send to dat person, say you still dey push.

Dis one go end. No be today, and maybe you no go even notice wen e end, but e go end. Until den, you dey do di only tin wey don ever work, na to still dey around for am. Dat one dey mean more pass wetin e feel like.
