"I’m a solo adventurer; I am a loner. I am the woman you see alone drinking tea and reading a book. I am the one who takes herself out on dates and sits all by herself, without shame. I am the woman who attends concerts without feeling awkward about being there alone. I sing my heart out and have a hell of a good time.
As I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized that doing things alone is wonderful. I mean sure, sometimes it’s fun to be around other people. However, so many underestimate how much we can enjoy certain activities without any company. Some people think of “being alone” and “doing things alone” as being something bad. It either means you’re anti-social or you’re a “loser”, and this social stigma is wrong.
Once I changed my mentality and started to live my life as I please, I found this astounding feeling of freedom, freedom of being me, freedom to do whatever the hell I want to do. And let me tell you that there’s no better feeling than enjoying your own company.
In these past few years when I started to do things alone, I have experienced the best times of my life. I have gone hiking, bike riding, skydiving, bungee jumping, I’ve taken trips alone and have made unforgettable memories.
I have learned to become my own best friend. I am the woman who chooses to do fun things alone, doing things alone feels normal to me."

Title: She Adopted 5 Boys Nobody Wanted — 27 Years Later, They Did Something She Never Expected
Written by Rosyworld CRN

Gloria Adebayo was 35 when life tested her strength. After five years of marriage and multiple failed fertility treatments, her husband walked away — no explanation, just a short note on the kitchen table:
“I can’t do this anymore. I’m sorry.”

The silence that followed was deafening. Gloria battled loneliness, shame, and the heavy weight of dreams unfulfilled. But she wasn’t the kind of woman to stay down for long.

In 1997, during a volunteer shift at a local child welfare center in Lagos, she met a set of brothers — five boys, all under the age of 10, abandoned by their relatives after the death of their parents. No one wanted to adopt them because they came as a group. And so, they stayed… waiting.

Something in Gloria’s heart stirred.

She didn’t have the resources. She didn’t have a husband. But she had love — so much love, and she knew it wasn’t meant to stay locked up in her heart.

One by one, she brought them home. First Segun, then Tunde, then the twins, Ikenna and Ifeanyi, and finally, baby Chuka. Raising them wasn’t easy — there were hospital visits, school fees, tears, and teenage drama. But there was also laughter, dancing in the rain, and Sunday mornings filled with jollof rice and gospel music.

Years passed. The boys grew. One became a civil engineer. Another started a non-profit. One moved abroad and became a teacher. Two others joined the police force. But they all remained close to home… and close to Mama Gloria.

In December 2024, on her 62nd birthday, they gathered in her small compound — and surprised her with a key.

A brand-new house. Bought and built by all five of them.

“We know you never had much,” Segun said, holding her trembling hands. “But you gave us everything. You gave us a home when we were forgotten. And now, it’s our turn.”

Gloria couldn’t speak. The woman who once cried herself to sleep wondering if she’d ever be called “Mama” now sat surrounded by five grown men calling her “The greatest mother in the world.”

She didn’t just adopt five boys.
She raised five kings.

Not all soulmates are meant to be romantic partners. Sometimes, they show up in our lives as friends, mentors, or even brief encounters that leave a lasting impact. A soulmate is simply someone whose soul resonates with yours — someone who mirrors your inner world, challenges your growth, and reminds you of who you truly are. These connections can feel electric and deeply familiar, even if they aren’t wrapped in the narrative of love stories or lifelong companionship. They may arrive during a season of change, guide you through darkness, and exit once their purpose is fulfilled, leaving your life altered in quiet, powerful ways.
We often think of soulmates as "the one," but the truth is, some are sent to awaken us, not stay with us. These relationships may be painful, confusing, or fleeting, but they’re no less profound. They help us peel back layers of ourselves we never knew existed. A soulmate can be the best friend who sees you clearly, the teacher who believes in you when no one else does, or the stranger whose words echo in your heart years later. Soulmates aren’t defined by permanence — they’re defined by impact. And sometimes, their greatest gift is teaching us how to be our own soulmate first.

Mother sentence to life imprisonment after selling her daughter for £800 to healer who wanted her for her light eyes and skin

A South African mother has been jailed for life, along with her two accomplices, after she sold her daughter to a traditional "healer" so her light eyes and skin could be cut out and used for medicine.

Racquel ‘Kelly’ Smith sold six-year-old Joshlin for 20,000 rand (£800) in February because the healer wanted her fair complexion and turquoise eyes.

The case shocked South Africa even further when it emerged that she would have accepted £200 for the child.

Smith, 35, has now been sentenced for kidnapping and trafficking along with boyfriend Jacquen Appollis and friend, Steveno van Rhyn.

Judge Nathan Erasmus told them: "There is nothing that I can find that is redeeming and deserving of a lesser sentence than the harshest I can impose"

Joshlin’s grandmother, Amanda Smith-Daniels, is now begging her daughter to reveal where Joshlin is.

She told Newzroom Afrika: "I don’t feel that any sentence they get will bring my grandchild back."

Speaking directly to Smith, she added: "How do you sleep [and] live with yourself?"

Her teacher also said that Joshlin’s schoolfriends still ask where she is.

A court heard that Joshlin vanished from outside her home in Saldanha Bay, near Cape Town, in February 2024.

She had been living with family friends after her mother – with a drug dependency since her teens – became abusive while high.

They wanted to adopt her to give her a better life, but the family blocked these bids.

Neighbour Lorential Lombaard said Smith confessed to them that she had sold Joshlin to a sangoma – traditional healer known as soul doctors.

She later saw Smith packing a bag of clothes for Joshlin before getting into a car with the woman she believes to be the healer.

The young girl’s teacher also claimed that Smith told her that Joshlin was already "on a ship inside a container, and they were on the way to western Africa."

The sentencing follows an eight-week trial that captivated South Africa, with witnesses and prosecutors making a number of shocking allegations.

Judge Nathan Erasmus said he "drew no distinction" between the trio in handing down the sentences.

"On the human trafficking charge, you are sentenced to life imprisonment. On the kidnapping charge, you are sentenced to 10 years imprisonment," he said to loud applause in the courtroom.

Smith, 35, and her accomplices showed no emotion as their sentences were read out in the community centre in Saldanha where the trial was held to allow residents to attend proceedings.

Police said the search for the little girl would continue, even beyond South Africa's borders.

"We will not rest until we find [out] what happened to Joshlin. We are continuing day and night looking for her," Western Cape police commissioner Thembisile Patekile told local media.
