Welcome to June, mid-year is upon us. Half way in 2026!
As we were celebrating the new month, I’ve been receiving and sending happy new month greetings and prayers. I was beginning to get happier and pumped up for the new month. However, I received a call that changed it all, albeit I thought it was the usual new month greetings from friends and family, but alas it was a real-talk, judgement session, full of rants and unsolicited advice. Emotional blackmail at the core of the message.
This got me thinking, does everybody that advice you really mean well for you? Should we carry each other’s burden? If yes, how much and how long should we carry it? How much advice can really change an individual? Should we be judged and assessed by our mistakes only? When people change or are transitioning, how much grace should we extend to them before we right them off?
These aforementioned questions are Bonafide topics on a good day, however, for this article, I will advice each reader to ponder on them and re-assess ourselves when we are faced with these questions in our daily dealing with people we interact with.
