Life With Dolapo

  Hey people, it is a brand new week. I hope you've keeping safe, having fun and achieving those goals. Today i will be talking about something we all need to read. I drew inspiration from one of the occurrences during the month. Sit tight😉 I can’t count the number of times I wanted to just run out of my house and put a few miles💨💨 between my parents and I or the times I cried myself to sleep (yes I still cry😅) or moments I forced myself to watch a movie just to forget the anger 😠and hurt I felt, or times I went to the bathroom, turned on the shower to substitute for crying at certain points in this lock-down. I really have lost count and i am sure you will agree with me that this lock-down has taken longer than it should.

But what they don’t readily realize is that love isn’t all about romance; a type of love that is just between two people, it is about something greater, it is about something more encompassing, it is phenomenal in itself, it is life changing, world changing. It is one of the most effective measure and powerful tool for positive change in our world. So many times, I sit and I t...
