@taadelodun I don’t usually comment on your stories — I mostly read quietly and take it all in. But honestly, I just want to say that you’re truly an inspiration.

I was the funniest person in every room, but secretly drowning in pain and shame. People rarely notice when a smile is masking survival. At 26, I looked alive on the outside, but inside, I had lost the will to keep going. I did everything "right" on paper. Firstborn of a poor family, I earned a scholarship at age 5, topped my class for years, and dreamed of changing my family’s story. But poverty does not care about potential. It pushed me out of high school once, and again in the university. Still, I refused to give up. After five years of trying and seven visa refusals, I finally arrived in the UK to study. Grateful, determined, and ready to build a better life By day, I was a student. By night, a cleaner. Some mornings I will be up early to clean offices before heading to class. Until the night I was admitted into intensive mental-health care. Five months later, I came out to find everything gone. My zero-hour jobs lost, my landlord evicted me, and my belongings disappeared. Overweight from medication, struggling with memory loss, I had to rebuild from nothing, couch-surfing, relying on family and friends, whispering to God: "Why me? Why now?" The turning point came when I stopped comparing my life to others. I learned to take life one day at a time. And slowly, light returned. The next ten years became the best of my life: From labourer on site to project management. From couch-surfing to homeowner. From silence to speaking on stages and mentoring thousands globally. I could never have imagined this future from my hospital bed. Today, I am deeply grateful to my family and friends, and to the amazing people at @samaritans and @MindCharity , who listened when I had no words left. As we mark #WorldMentalHealthDay, please remember: 💚 The loudest laugh can hide the heaviest heart. 🌙 Comparison steals joy; small steps restore it. ☀️ No matter how dark it feels, the sun will rise again. If you are struggling, reach out. If you are okay, check on someone. Tomorrow will be brighter. Please stay for it. Let's normalise honest conversations about mental health. What helped you through your hardest season?

@tosinolaseinde I do that everytime- cause damn !!!!!! I’m so freaking fierce and that does scare me sometimes😆

Do you admire yourself? Not in a narcissistic way but like you being in actual awe of who you are. Your drive, your strength, the things you’ve done and how your mind works. I hope you regularly stop to appreciate who you are,

There’s one thing I’ve learned this year… To have audacity. To take risks when fear says no. To speak up when silence feels safer. To chase dreams that seem impossible. Audacity isn’t reckless—it’s the courage to step boldly into your own story.

@tosinolaseinde These are inspiring to read and it taught me one thing- to have audacity.

What’s the most unhinged thing you’ve done to get ahead?

@Mrpossidez That’s a haunting way to put it… If the self is a maze, how do we find a way out—or do we ever?

We are taught to think that the self is a haven. But what if the self is a maze? What if the worst thing that could happen is not being cast away but being locked in? Not punished by any god but abandoned to the endless hall of mirrors that is your own mind?

On interviews. First—— Get them engaged and make them like you. Your entire strategy should be built on how to make this happen. Sharing some tips based on cool comments I’ve received from interviewers.

You are terrifying, and strange, and beautiful. You’re something, not everyone knows how to love. And that’s fine. Heck, that makes two of us.

Not to spoil the ending for you, but everything’s probably going to be okay.

It takes about very little time to spot a winner. When outliers meet, those crazy go-getters with fire in their bellies, there is a knowing look of approval they trade themselves that says: “very few people will ever understand it, but I do.” The “it” factor here is indefinable.

A book should be lived in. It should be dragged through airports, stuffed into bags, left on nightstands with crumbs from late-night snacks. Let it collect your chaos; coffee stains, highlighter smudges, maybe even a tear or two. That’s how you know it’s real.

Use your time wisely. Be accountable for it. Your time is your second greatest asset, after your first, which is your mind.

We do strange things to protect ourselves. I notice I stiffen myself around certain people, even though I know they mean well. I harden around kindness; it makes no sense. But there are parts of me that were once open in the wrong places. They still don’t know if they’re safe.

If you followed a lion all day long and witnessed the lion’s struggle for life, to eat, and at the end of the day the lion had caught and eaten a gazelle, you would probably be happy for the lion. If you started the same story by following a gazelle and witnessed the gazelle’s struggle for life, to not be eaten, and at the end of the day the gazelle was eaten by a lion, you would probably be devastated. The same event. Two different narratives. Two different emotions. So if you chose a different starting point, the same event can create two different judgments in a person. A person’s sense of justice depends LARGELY on which story he follows and for how long. Justice very often is nothing more than the direction we’re facing when the story begins.
