i want to break up

This relationship is worse than Covid-19. It’s difficult to even breathe here because the hot air feels like hellfire!

What’s worse is, I want out but I feel trapped in a transparent bottle.

I see everyone (apart from me) going about their daily activities.

They don’t see me but I see them.

I can’t continue like this knowing one day I’ll have kids to take care of. I can’t keep living like this!

This relationship is draining me!

I know what you’re thinking but I promise you — it’s not about her.

The breakup I’m talking about here is Sapa-related but I’m officially ending it - right here - right now!

(If you’re wondering what SAPA means, I hope for your “money can’t buy happiness” sake — that you never know).

Barely related;

So, I shared my freelance-job-hunting story with a friend (Busayo).

And said she’ll be back in 4 days and I must have pitched what I can do for people;

So here’s what I can do (and would help me end this toxic relationship with SAPA):

I write some delicious emails. (Tastes like burnt toast bread on bad days and party Jollof on a good day). Like this one you’re reading.

No jokes!!

I have a couple of archives from work for a partner that actual humans opened and read.

If anyone you know needs such service, let them know Tobi exists. 

Better still, you can tell them — “Hey I know an amazing writer. He writes some delicious emails”.

Or If you’re not much of a talker you can post the image below on WhatsApp Status/Twitter/IG story or just send it to them privately;

And no! I’m not looking for 2k urgently. This service isn’t cheap!

My introverted-life is high maintenance (from breathing in this hot-Lagos-debit-alert-air, sitting in front of my screens all day trying to reach the end of the internet, and lying to my friends about why I can’t going out with them just so I can be home all day and burn data) — and I have to keep up, you know?

Thanks as you help bring my freelance-career to life.

Don’t let me or Busayo down and if you still insist on knowing what SAPA means — ask me. 😀
