It's Not Only About You

"The world does not begin and end with you." - Mama Ronke
But it feels that way, doesn't it?
Like my ecosystem, my feelings, my dreams, my aspirations are all that matter.
It's not like I can control anyone else's life. So why not just focus on what I can?
Right?

But (isn't there always a but? 😂)
Just because it feels that way doesn't make it true.
This is not Sweetheart. I don't live on a deserted island. I interact with people and those people have goals and dreams and aspirations too.

My world is not more important than theirs.

Aunty Ronke,
Remember this when you are talking to that customer service agent who doesn't seem to understand your frustration.
Remember this when that driver is going 40 miles an hour in a 55 speed limit.
​Remember...
