RE: Sam’s Hangout #91 - “DOING DIFFERENT”
There's actually something I could have done differently, but then, I choose not to.
And that will be being self-centered and focusing only on myself.
The thing is I once went through a long term illness that kind of made me withdraw, during those period I learnt a while lot of things about humans and all. I also lost myself, yea. There are a lot of things I stopped doing, and a lot of things stop having meaning to me.
So, after surviving such, I could have choose to do my things differently, I can't deny that the illness did affect me an my relationship with people, but I choose not to allow it take over me. If it had, no one would have blamed me. Many people would have thought it was caused by, maybe the trauma and all I experienced.
But I chose not to let that experience stop me from being caring and looking out for others. I try my possible best to show up for people, help when I could and even run certain charity deeds.
So, what I did differently was the refusal to become hardened and bitter. Rather, I choose to be more caring, compassionate and loving.
So, that's doing different for me.

Come, let's hear from y'all 😁
Awwwwwwn 🥰🥰.. that's my lil bro 🌹.
I understand what you mean. Every other person could have gone through such and come out of it caring only about his or herself and of course, nobody would ever blame such.
But you came out better; compassionate, loving and selfless and that is indeed a departure from the norm. Equally makes you special 😜🤭
Awwwn, thanks Sissy ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
You always have your way with words 🥺🥺, yaf made me speechless now 😔.
Obviously, yaf learnt a lot from me 😜.
Yea, it was one that could have made any other person heartless, withdrawn and all. But then, here you have me 🕺🕺🕺

That's great attitude amidst challenges
Yes...
Thanks Mama ☺️
It takes alot to be compassionate and loving to people after an experience like this and I'm proud of you for being a bigger person and a good person.
I love the attitude and I hope I learn from this too, because I'm not good at letting go of bad experiences, especially from people I expect alot from.
I'm so grateful to God that you survived the illness and conquered Dave 🥰🎉
It wasn't that easy. But it was a good choice to make.
Either let the the experience turn me into a cold person or a more compassionate one, it was my decision to make at the of the day.
I would love if you would too, humans will always be humans. You shouldn't expect too much from them. So, you just be you.
Thanks a lot dear, and I very well appreciate your thoughtfulness.

This is so great to read Millie. It shows how best you are at being in control of life and not life or situations controlling you. The way you did not allow that situation redefine who you are really speaks amazing things about you even with no spoken words. You lived differently indeed ❤️🥰
You enh🥺🥺🥺
See how you've made me emotional now 😔.
And yea, I've met with ppl and got to know their experience was what made them what they are today-coldhearted. And it's understandable, just that the choice is always ours to make. Experiences can shape, but we get to decide/choose what it shapes us into.
Not letting poor experiences shape your character towards others tells a lot about you. It's beautiful and I hope you don't stop being this person.❤️
Smiles.....yea❤️
Hopefully, I won't.
Thanks a lot 😊❤️
I just dey come ooo. Let me think well sha
No problem...take your time sissy 🙂
Some situations will open ones eyes to what one don not believe can happen but sometimes it doesn't have to change us, it just bring to our notice that things like that is in existence, people are like this and that. We should never stop the heart of kindness no matter what we go through but me I used to think that this kindness heart is God gift ,bcos I have tried many times in the past too to let go of kind heart but I couldn't, I just couldn't control my kind heart, and I will see someone else that doesn't even have kindness in his dictionary,how will be like ,how does he do it ? I think its Gift jare.
Smiles, well it's definitely a gift. Our prayer would be not to encounter a thing that would make us stop being the good and kind hearted person that we are.
Kindness is meant to be rare and that's why we have very few ppl in our world that's really kind.
