When I was doing my diploma, I used to send money to my ex to get by

They call people like that "Yakubu" around here.๐Ÿ˜‚

A way I've learnt to appreciate the little people do for me is by considering how much it cost them to do the things they do for me, not how much the thing they've done for me is worth to me. If someone who earns 1,500 cedis a month gifts me 100cedis, even though that might not mean much on the surface, it means that they woke up, got dressed and went to work for 2 days for me.

How have you been, man? It's been quite a while:)

Hehe, I don't know why this is so, but it seems like it means such a person is an extremely stupid person ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

That's an interesting and unique ways to actually see it. Wow. For me, I just attach a certain pricelessness to the gestures of people and makes me even revere and appreciate what they've done for me. Sometimes I even value their intent more than the goodwill itself.

It's been long like you've said though, too many things have happened. How are you doing?

Haha not exactly. A yakubu is a simp, basically. Your love life in your early 20s mustโ€™ve been interesting.

I think this is the better way to look at it.

How are you doing?

Iโ€™m doing better than the last time we talked. Like you said, many things have happened. Iโ€™ve gotten myself into some very engaging stuff offline, thatโ€™s why Iโ€™m not around much recently. I hope youโ€™re doing well.
