Funnily about advise or others mistake, some are needed to be experienced selfysly.

If you go on romance of family section, some of those who have advised others in what to do about their problems are posting questions related to that same problem but in a different form

Lol yeah true but SAD. Some mistakes are better experienced personally by some people. A boss and friend of mine once told me “A kid will never believe or listen to you when you tell them a candle light is hot until they put their hand and experience the hotness personally”

Nonexisting:
My greatest mistake in life was believing in love and trusting a vaginarian. Whenever I remember that particular foolishness of mine, I feel like squeezing my balls. I now know better to visit my family when I need love and to get a dog when I need companionship and loyalty.
And when you need sex?

Homeandaway:
I helped a colleague at work. housed and fed her because her residence was far and commuting to and fro work daily was difficult and costly for her. She robbed me blind. My laptop, Iphone and money. Laptop had all my lifeswork, manuscripts, soundtracKs, screenplays, travel documents and saved passwords. She claimed to be ill on a workday, so she stayed home while i went to work. The rest is history.

Never take a work colleague, stranger, acquaintance, church member or even friend to your house. it never ends well.

Keep your relationships at arms length. Trust NOBODY
Me too, I have seen in the hands of people I trust.
I used to be a trusting fool. Thought everyone had like my heart. My dad once told me am too damn kind-hearted. My mum had to travel from the the village to meet me in the city, she was crying and almost nelt down begging me not to go the way of my dad who too was foolishly kind-hearted all his life, and was the victim of repeated betrayals by close relatives. I had to convince her that I will change my ways. Still till now, I find it difficult to hurt or get back at people who have betrayed me. People now know that I cannot afford to hurt them no matter what. I cannot even secretly pray against my enemy or someone openly working against me. Sometimes I cry alone to God wondering why he created me in this manner.
This days i just try to avoid people as much as possible as almost everybody is a suspect

This really touched me. Very vital documents such as manuscripts, etc!!! How were you able to recover from this (if at all you did)?
Didn't you get her traced and arrested since you know where she works?

Lol i really dont talk about this but since its a faceless app..i think i can spill it and not feel bad

Been born in a poor family is one of the greatest blow life hit me with...so so poor family...finished secondary school and applied for university...folks dosent have even enough for the acceptance fee to thier name...so they took loans
My fees and expenses were on loan sharks...every Wednesday is a bad day in our lives..its either folks are running helter skelter to pay or their been disgraced...i have older sis and 2kid sis..it was rough and tough..i still wonder how people from familes like this concetrate in school..loans and repayment has always been my worries...nothing enter ls my head..while in secondary school i was one of the best...but in uni i was one of the worst..i pass my courses only when i get help...so i met this girl ..she was the angel that helped me survive feeding in school..she made sure eating wasn't a problem..and at some point we started to date because i honestly have nothing else to offer her aside love,care and my body...so i reliedband trusted her 100...at some point, babygirl got tired and fedup ,so she broke up...lol...that killed me and everything around me because it was an exam period...so i failed woefully, so bad that i had to switch department and let go of a whole academic year...the next year the governor of my state hiked the school fee over a hundred percent...so life got tougher, regrets over regrets...i wanted to die...thanks to family for love and care...now am out of school over 2yrs now but funds wont let me clear my results....i learnt graphics designing and am good at it..but there is a lot of pain i couldnt explain in there...omo i suffered in this life ...but when you see me,I'd be smilling and cracking jokes like everything is fine...if not for what would happen to my fams..suicide would have been the best way ....and yes along the line i was hustling and doing ine or two things too but only enough for sub ,bike fees and card...life is hard and cruel to me and my folks....
LIFE IS SO CRUEL AND HARD ON ME AND MY FOLKS
dad from loan sharks an all built and a house without windows ,just enough roof for a room ..no doors,no.plaster
And they live there ...hes an okada rider now,since his job doesnt pay .

I'm suffering,hustling and my folks are doing the same
Its getting tougher by the day
The only thing anyone can do for me now is?
If you have graphics and printing job,i swear i can deliver
If you have ways or updates that can help my life,pls help a brother and i promise to be grateful all my life
And i would like to be an actor too..if you love entertainment and would like to invest in someone, i swear am good too..
