    Time is passing and home is where your heart is! So powerful, if we don't appreciate the simple things in life we would miss out on a whole lot. Such a beautiful and powerful video👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

    Wow, you are Nigerian , it's so intriguing to see how a Nigerian can live so simply! Growing up here, we are taught to always be on the go, to hustle and hammer!

    • @TheHappyblacky
      @TheHappyblacky  3 роки тому +2

      I am, proudly :) You know this, yes that’s our culture and way of life, but moving places have changed me in ways I didn’t imagine. Hustle and hammer 🤣🤣🤣 I laughed and choked. I’m still hustling oh and I still hope to hammer but my priority is more of taking life one day at a time.

    The moment your video started, I knew you were a creative and most likely a writer, from how you spoke softly and your choice of words. That was confirmed with the book, congratulations on that.
    Your video touched on so many mantras I have in life, the simple things matter and there comes the joy. We chase fulfillment or ‘bills’, chasing hierarchy that we forget to live life.
    Lovely video, would look out for more.

    I could really relate to this, especially choosing to become open to a new way of living. Before I moved to Spain the only times I'd go for a walk was on route to somewhere, always with a destination in mind. Now I go for walks just to enjoy being in nature 🙂 There's a lot to be grateful for when moving to a new place. I think every day can be a blessing if we are willing to learn and adapt, and change the preconceptions we have too. At the end of the day it's all about the mindset and attitude we have 🙂 Congrats on your book! I hope I can read it one day ❤️

      You know how I love to read your comment. It feels like yes someone gets it. Moving places changes people especially if it’s to a different country with different culture. I like what you said about walking, same for me. I am happy for the freedom I finally found to just get up and go for a walk without a destination. I always, always return home a happier human. Life is a gift. Thank you for sharing. I would love to hear more about life in Spain( no pressure )
