Being In A Good Place

I was on my way to class the other day and this guy approached me you know to like have a chat. He started asking me all this sort of questions to kind of build a conversation and one of them was like 'what would you like to be in future'. I've been asked this question a thousand times but for some reason I wanted to give an actual answer, so I said 'I want to be in a good place'.
To me being in a good place means just having the essentials in life, a job that I actually enjoy doing and which could help take care of myself and provide for my family not quite an ambitious lifestyle but just a normal and peaceful one.
Being in a good place is personal, only you can tell if you're actually where you want to be or that what you're doing at the moment is the best you can to get yourself in a good place.
Being independent for me is being in a good place, for another person it could be getting married or having the career they've dreamt of having or just being okay with yourself and mind.
You shouldn't pressure yourself with how everybody else's life around you is turning out because each person has his or her own time and when the time is right, you will be in your own good place.

Why African Women need more credit

Quality family time is very important especially in our wifi technology filled generation But then family events though ugh! How exhausting. I live in Africa by the way and here, well, let's say everything is kinda done in proportions. Imagine any event you may organize be it marriage, baby shower etc. in your country, outside Africa, and multiply everything times ten. Literally everything and everybody is all over the place trying to put things together and the worst part is women literally do all the shit while men just seat around and just wait for everything to be done and on time or else they start complaining. I know this sounds like a cliché statement but hey women and especially African women need to be given more credit for what they do. Most of them hardly even complain or see how uneven their roles are compared to men. But what strikes me the most is that in spite of all these it is always very gratifying for them. Our mothers whether housewife, business woman or fo...
