For the past 11 months, since finishing university and finally graduating, everything you’ve written in this piece has been my reality. But I never had the words for it. I don’t think anyone could have captured my thoughts, fears, and feelings so accurately. Thank you, Temi, for giving me language—and also clarity. Your words are truly beautiful.

Capturing happiness in the little moments and sadness arriving in the big ones is a dichotomy I despise about this world but your words kept me with such sweet company thank you for sharing and I hope you tick more things off a to do list not built on productivity but on contentment
