By Picture this:
You’ve fought with your alarm clock.
You’ve argued with your bus driver.
You’ve negotiated your salary.
You’ve dodged five potholes, and one unsolicited “hello fine girl” on your way to work this morning.
And it’s only 10:37 AM.
Omo, Rest Small, Your Mind is Screaming “epp me, epp me, epp me!
Lagos is not for the weak. But guess what? Even the strong need to chill sometimes.
Mental health no be luxury na survival strategy in this city of “hold-up and hustle.”
So here’s your memo from Dear Lagosians:
Your hustle is valid. But so is your rest.
Here Are 5 Lagos-Approved Ways to Relax Without Going Broke.
1. Become unreachable for 3 hours.
Put your phone on airplane mode. Tell them NEPA took the network. 😌
2. Practice soft life on a budget.
No spa? No wahala. Soak your feet in Dettol. Add candle. Play with you by David ft Omah lay in the background. Instant calm.
3. Sleep like your landlord won’t call.
Block your ex disturbing you to get together, Mute that group chat, Hug your pillow like it paid bride price.😀
4. Laugh like you didn’t just pay N2,500 for suya to Aboki
Watch comedy skits by Kenny blah and I go die, Laugh, Laughter is free therapy (until MTN reminds you about how much data you have left).
5. Take yourself on a date.
Bread and boli with chilled Zobo sweet die, try an 🤣 Play “Hello my dear by falz” on repeat Boom💥therapy activated.
Lagos Is Loud. Your Peace Should Be Louder.
Dear Lagosians, you’re allowed to pause.
To breathe.
To laugh for no reason.
To cancel plans.
You are not your job.
You are not your traffic route.
You are not that bag you haven’t secured yet.
You are a human being, not a to-do list or a robot.
Take care of your mind it’s the only Lagos apartment you live in rent-free.
This weekend, don’t just recharge your phone. recharge your soul! TGIF
Dear Lagosians 💛
