Not a big deal…

It was a bit difficult getting a caption for this short article, so pardon me if it sounds funny lol, because really it is a couple of short gist/message in one. Anyway, my darling husband surprised me with a pre-val’s gift and since it was the first time I (personally) will see anyone pull the “pre-val’s gift” *stunt* I decided to post it on Facebook to give some guys hints on creativity and thoughtfulness, bearing in mind that I had written an article not too long ago titled “Love is not cheap” click here to read.
While that was on, two friends decided to come inbox lol! “Titi, why did you post about your pre-val’s gift on Facebook”, “you’re not the only one who got a gift “,lol “Me, I’m a private person and I won’t post anything about my husband and I on social media” etc lol!! Well………

We can not all be the same haha..some of us don’t care really, we don’t worry about all these details, it’s not a big deal at all. It’s all fun to us. We operate from a “free mind” perspective. So be private, we will be public. Be quiet, we will be playful. Be an observer, we will be players. The truth is, we all cannot be the same.

The reason(motive) why I do things is really what matters to me and that is what should matter to you too. I always want anything good in my life to serve as inspiration or guidance to someone else. I am sure there are one or two guys out there who saw my pre-val’s gift post and thought…”I should actually be more creative next Valentine’s day” or “I should actually surprise my woman more often” “I need to be more thoughtful like Temi”(he really is *wink*)..that was my motive for real, to ginger the guys.
Anyway, Valentine or no Valentine; Pre-Val or no Pre-Val; We cannot all be the same. If we were all quiet, what a boring world it would’ve been 🙂 If we were all noisy, what a loud world it would’ve be. If we were all “private”, social media will not exist. LOL! Below are pictures of the D-day’s gift exchange. I tried to be private with the actual brands of the gifts, so I don’t get more inbox messages, but I’m public enough to say it is a wristwatch and a perfume.We will do the outing later in the day????. Don’t worry I will be private next year (if it’s not a car)
And, incase you missed the pre-val’s post and the gift, peruse and read it below,it was simple…
“Valentine is in three days time
Temi bought Titi a pre-Val’s gift
It’s a small box of chocolate with a love letter.
Temi is a thoughtful guy
(To all them guys out there)…
Be like Temi❤????????????????”
HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY TO ALL MY BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE.
LOVE IS A BEAUTIFUL THING…

Yes o! We are not the same dan so far as Mr T doesn’t mind abeg by all means go ahead and be public! Lol it reminds of one time people were telling my hubby to stop celebrating on Fb that yam never cook or something funny like that in Yoruba lol. Yorubas and superstition *lol asif I’m not one*
Anyways thank u for the inspiration, I’m very sure it inspired some guys…..
Happy love day my dear friend xoxo
Hahaha @ Yam never done ???????? People are sure funny. Happy love day my dear! Have a fulfilled and memorable one. xoxo
Lols. Why do folks constantly feel the need to shove everyone into their tiny little prisons and throw the keys away? Does it make them feel better about being themselves? Or perhaps everyone else being like them validates the way they have chosen to live their lives? Literally lol. I mean, don’t sentence me to a lifetime of being like you. I’ve not finished being me, and I do love being me. While I should be flexible enough to grow and evolve over time, I should not feel compelled to compromise my individuality and beliefs to please the crowd. In this world of “likes” and “follows”, this breed of people that stay true to self are fast becoming an antiquity. Most self proclaimed “rebels” today are only actually channeling or conforming to other rebels. Nothing wrong in adapting traits you admire and believe in, but hey, never lose your individuality. Like you have so rightly pointed out, Titi, the world would be really bland and pointless if we were all the same. Live and let live. Stand out. Evolve. I’m not the same person I used to be last year. In the next one year, I pray to have become a better, more refined version of me. That’s growth. Your destination is not the same as the next person’s. You should be reaching for the full potential and purpose God has for you, not being your brother’s “hypocritical, unappointed” keeper. By all means, keep your life offline, but never be small minded enough to think that others are stupid for choosing, for whatever reason, to do the very opposite of that. Create your own world….we’ll borrow some patterns and colours from it if it fits into the vision we have for the beautiful fabric of our own lives. Here’s to more pre-Valentine’s, post-Valentine’s and “just because” gifts ????????
Funke!! Thank you for that so inspiring comment. I got a topic I feel would have been better for this post on your comment. I will be using it in another associated post in future…..whenever I publish that post. I will definitely acknowledge you.???? thanks dear
