it feels good to know that you have a form of support around you. It makes one feel safe, in a way. I'm grateful to my friends and family. if 10, 000 people are following me, as far as their intentions are good, no I won't turn back.

To think I have been following on twitter for a while not knowing you had a newsletter. It wasn't until your post about being robbed and tagging the newsletters that I became aware and I tell you, it feels so surreal.

The gift of community and friends cannot be overemphasised. I'm not someone that has a very large circle, but the little ones I have, I'm always grateful for their blessing.

If 10,000 people are following me, I would definitely thank God and wonder why they are🥺. I would always be grateful if that ever happens!

So glad to know that you’re doing a lot better and you have a community of people who are with you every step of the way.

You’re loved fiercely and everytime we see you outside, we would say Hi!😂

If 10,000 people are following me, I’d turn back every 3 minutes to ask them if they know what they’re doing because omo😭😂

There is strength in community and it definitely feels good to have people who love and support you. When i was scammed, technically robbed, I wish I had 1m followers on social media to amplify it so if I had 10,000 people following me literally and figuratively, I'd ride on eagle's wings and just fly knowing I have a whole community of people to catch me.

Friends are gifts that keeps on giving, times when it feels like you're all alone; the power of Friendship comes to the rescue.

I do not think I'll not want to be popular, because I am a living testimony of the benefits it has to offer.

From experience, I'll say that I am sorry you had to go through something of such; it can be so devastating and confusing especially when you have to go through it alone. But that experience? It makes one stronger and calculative (though one can not be too careful 😭).

I left my new devices at home for a month till I could get over that trauma. Is it the unplanned Money to be spent on new devices one wants to talk about? 😭

It's barbaric on how these things have to happen but who can be held responsible? Just keep being safe, and know that you're not alone. ❤️

If 1,000 people followed me, I’d turn back every 5 minutes to ask if they were sure they made the right decision. That’s what doubt does to me. I’m happy you’re confident in your community and it’s a delight to read that the days are becoming brighter again. Have a great year ahead Oriade❤️.

Sorry about the robbery Oriade🫂 I’m glad you have people around that are always there for you. Saw a tweet today of how friends will save you again and again and for a fact I know that is so true. If 10 thousand people were following me, Iwould be so shyyy am probably too overwhelmed to handle it all🫠🤭 but I love getting lost in a crowd😅🙈 I’d probably shift the focus to someone else
