The first.....
My Wednesday
Wednesdays are either exhausting
or just plain boring.
No job.
Just wrote JAMB.
Broke.
Still live with my parents.
Every morning, I look in the mirror and yell:
“Get a grip of yourself, H!”
H isn’t me.
She’s someone I know.
A friend.
Let’s just say... she had a rough week.
She told me:
> “If you think your teenage life is a mess, try mine.”

H got rejected by her crush.
And guess what?
She asked him out.
Yeah.
Bold. Brave. Bad idea?

I know what you’re thinking—“Why would she do that?!” she told me she was trying to be an independent woman. You know, #PowerMoves

He didn’t just say no.
He told her she was a child.
Not even nicely.
Now she has to see him every day—
because they’re neighbors.

She said:

> “I hate him. But also? I don’t. I’m still affected.”
She asked me how to act unbothered.
Like the rejection didn’t sting.
Like she didn’t lie awake thinking,
‘Why did I ever speak to him?’

So I’m asking for her—

How do you fake confidence when you feel crushed?

Help H 🌹
