Today I’m grateful for people I met here who’ve changed my life for better:

People who just send me positive vibes without saying a thing..

Those who push me to be a better person by pulling me aside to show me a different perspective when I’m blinded by my single story filters
People who remind me who I am & what I’m capable of when I’m feeling downtrodden…

People who drag me out of my comfort zone & safety of routine to expose me to different life enriching experiences & nice things nje..

Those who see me & appreciate my efforts to heal humanity..
Those who dug into their pockets &joined me in uplifting lives of others..

People who became regular service providers for my daily life’s needs & those who chose me as their person for their health needs..

Those who just became friends.. for hugs & laughs & all things nice…
I’m resisting the urge to tag people because I know I’m going to leave out some… I still have porridge brain from 2 pregnancies 😩🙈😬

My peeps, y’all know yourselves.. So please feel free to tag yourself under this thread and we can all khumbaya on this #GratiTuesday 💓💓💓

I’m not taking questions from people who haven’t vaccinated via DM anymore.

If you have vaccinated & have symptoms you’re welcome to DM.

Here’s the top 10 frequently asked questions I’ve picked up from >250 DMs yesterday..

Please refer to this thread for answers:
Q1: What side effects can be expected?

A:
1. Some people get side effects, some don’t.

2. Not getting side effects doesn’t mean the vaccine isn’t working.

3. Those who get post-vaccine symptoms, it’s unpredictable which ones & to what extent (how mild/ severe). ImageImage
4. Side effect severity is not dependent on age/ health status

The 📷 shows common ones, however there can be more:

-Diarrhoea
-Abdominal pains
-Heart palpitations
-Gland swelling

Symptoms appear within 24hrs & resolve fairly quickly in:
Most = 3days
Some = 1week
Rarely = 2wks Image

On marriage:
I grew up in a home with 2 parents, so my expectations of what a marriage & a family should be were rooted in what I saw growing up.

Add to that, influences from Danielle Steele/ Mills & Boon Novels, Bo&Bilie, Brooke &Ridge on TV, True Love mag etc
With time, growth & experience I was forced to relook at my expectations (actually fantasies to be honest) regarding marriage (romantic relationships in general).

A lot of unlearning was done, usually brought on by pain from trying to force another person to be who they aren’t.
Which brings me to what I wanna discuss:

With so many tools at our disposal, a lot of people (still) enter into relationships w marriage /some type of long term commitment as a goal “without preparation”. Or at the very least with an idea of what else they want besides “a ring”

I was talking to my friend who is a GP yesterday, she was just venting a little about how frustrated she is that people are choosing to miss all the messages from healthcare workers & gov

There’s a lot of information online & even HERE about this virus &how to behave but noooo..
It is impossible to test everyone, also it’s not necessary because most people will NOT require any form of medical treatment besides what they normally do when they have a cold or flu-like symptoms:

Stay home & rest & avoid infecting other people
There is no need to run to private labs for testing. They don’t test everyone. They don’t have capacity.

And you’ll be turned away by most labs as you need to have seen a dr first. Someone needs to receive your results & counsel / reassure / treat those who are infected.

That kids with “formula on the floor” tweet reminded of something.

I find it strange that some kids are given copious amounts of formula (or even milk) after age 1.. Like up to 6 bottles a day.

250-300ml of milk, even full cream cows milk(if no health issues with it) is enough.
An average big bottle size is 250ml. Anything >2 of those is excessive. Imagine giving 4-6.. that 1L to 1,5L of milk for someone who weighs about 10-13kg.

Also, kids over 1yr should NOT be using a bottle with a teat. Start encouraging sippy cups early (+/- 9mo) & open cup by 1yr
Milk is primary nutrition at birth, & should be reduced as more and more food is added. Solids are generally started from average 6months, but some people start at 4mo to introduce food.

Please wean according to your baby’s needs, See dr / dietician if in doubt how to proceed.

Putting people up on high pedestals is a problem. This is often done becoz of one sided perceptions of individuals, without regard to the fact that humans are inherently flawed.

We form unrealistic expectations from those we “idolize”, thus setting the stage for disappointment.
Nobody is perfect, and the parts about that person that you never thought existed will eventually show.

And when it does, people wanna cry “How could s/he do that (to me)?”. The problem is not the person per say... but your perception of them.
Life is a two sided coin, there’s always a balance. So are people & their characters.

One is never / always something without the opposite of that character trait. If you live life focusing only on one side then you’re being unfair to yourself & those around you.
