"I felt so lonely and weak,
Thoughts kept running through my head,
And left me overthinking.

Suddenly,
I felt weird,
I couldn't feel me,
Misplaced my consciousness,
I couldn't seem to hold myself together,
I was lost in a twinkle of an eye.

Hours later,
I felt reinstalled,
All I could remember was me, Going through hard times which was over.

I then,
Looked around me,
All I saw was mess from my preexisting state.
Most was done for good,
I felt pains,
I have killed myself,
All I could say.

I sat and questioned myself,
Was it worth the thinking ?
Was it worth gettting to me ?
Was the whole situation really worth it ?
Was is worth putting my life on the line?

And I answered,
NO! Not at all."

Which makes me bring this to you, no matter what, it's not worth it.
"Despite everything, YOU MATTER"
Say no to depression!

1 in 2.

Let that sink in.
Behind every statistic is a young man. A story. An experience. And sometimes, a silence.
The Dear Adam Survey sought to understand what young men know about sexual abuse, what they experience, and why many choose not to speak about it.

These numbers demand more than attention. They demand action.
Swipe through the findings.
Look beyond the numbers. Listen.

Drug addiction takes a heavy toll on the families of those struggling with it, a reality rarely discussed.

Beneath the silence lies the profound truth of how substance misuse deeply affects the lives of loved ones.

The idea is to stimulate a vision of self in the best version ever and also in the worst version.

And I asked which will you choose?

After seeing the good, some said they couldn’t see the bad. They didn’t like the sound or feel of it, lol.

Anyways I used the opportunity to highlight that you can choose to FOCUS on only the Good, the positive.
Again, if you can imagine bad, you can imagine only good.

If you can “worry bad” then “worry good”

Funny but,

These are subtle choices we all make, and at the end you ask “How did I get here?” taken in Abuja, Nigeria by @akinayo_

The mind, much like the sun in photosynthesis, is vital for human existence as it serves as the source of energy and direction needed to convert life’s raw experiences into meaningful growth and action.

Just as a plant uses sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to produce glucose (energy) and oxygen, the human mind takes in sensory information, experiences, and thoughts and processes them through consciousness, reasoning, and emotion. This mental ‘processing’ is what allows us to produce meaningful outputs like creativity, problem-solving, and purpose, which are essential for survival, adaptation, and a flourishing life, making the mind the fundamental engine of human vitality.

So I say:
Your MIND is your SUN.
