It’s Sunday night. Again.
Your phone’s on low battery. Your spirit is too.
You just told yourself, for the 15th time this year , “Tomorrow, I start again.”
You’re bloated from jollof and puff-puff, annoyed with yourself, and already googling detox teas while promising to “be serious” this time.
But deep down, you know what’s coming.

“You don’t wait for the roof to fall before checking the cracks – the same goes for your body.”
