What if the person you’re waiting to hear from is taking their last breath, losing their fight, saying their final goodbye, or disappearing before your eyes? It’s a harsh reality, isn’t it?
Sometimes, we mistake someone’s silence for neglect or indifference, but what if it’s actually their way of saying goodbye? What if the person on the other end is struggling silently, battling demons we know nothing about?
We live in a world where we often assume that people’s lives are perfect just because they post pretty pictures online. However, the truth is, many are drowning in secret struggles—depression, addiction, debt, sickness, relationship turmoil, and more. Just because someone earns a daily income or receives a monthly salary doesn’t mean they’re living large. We have no idea what’s draining their bank account—whether it’s medical bills, loan sharks, family crises, or countless other pressures.
We must resist the temptation to feel entitled to their attention or assume they’re okay just because they seem fine online. The reality is, many are barely holding on, and your assumptions could be the last straw that breaks them.
Some people are focusing on personal growth, self-love, learning, and trying to break free from bad habits. Others are managing family issues, studying, or silently dying. Life is messy, and everyone is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Instead of expecting others to check up on you, take the initiative to reach out and genuinely care.
You never know who’s struggling to keep their head above water, who’s hiding behind a mask of perfection, or who’s desperate for a lifeline. Let’s be that lifeline. Let’s break the silence and shatter the illusion. Let’s be human.
Appreciate Every Message, Call, or Reply
Don’t feel entitled. Some people are tired of repeating greetings, so go straight to the point. If an issue is important or beneficial, don’t be too proud to reach out. Beep or call them. Show you care.
This post is written in love on behalf of those facing struggles beyond the usual “How are you? I’m fine.”
Let’s spread love, care, and understanding. After reading and contributing, drop your account number in the comment section—someone might be willing to bless you.
The Hidden Battles Behind Silence: A Call for Compassion – Omolade Gbemisola
During a Senate meeting held on July 31, 2024, the university took decisive action against student misconduct, sanctioning numerous students for various offences.
According to a statement issued by the Public Relations Office on Tuesday, Ojo Michael, a 200-level Computer Science student, was rusticated for the entire 2023/2024 academic session. Michael was found guilty of forging his Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) to qualify for the Student Union elections.
Additionally, 17 students were rusticated for examination malpractice, five for making threats to life, and one for fraudulent activities. The statement highlighted that these penalties were recommended following thorough investigations by the university’s Examination Malpractice and Students’ Disciplinary Committee.
In a broader crackdown on misconduct, 47 students were suspended indefinitely for various offenses, including impersonation, for which ten students were also punished.
The university’s Senate emphasized that the sanctioned students are required to remain off-campus to prevent potential confrontations with university security personnel. The management reiterated its commitment to maintaining academic integrity and discipline, warning that any student found guilty of misconduct would face severe consequences according to the institution’s regulations.
The statement read in part: “The Senate, at its Statutory meeting of 31st July 2024, has approved that Ojo Michael, a 200-level student in the Computer Science Department, be rusticated for the 2023/2024 Academic session for forgery of CGPA to contest Student Union Elections. 17 other students got rusticated for examination malpractice, five for threats to life, and one for a fraudulent act. 47 students were found guilty of misconduct and were thus given indefinite suspension, with another ten for impersonation.”
The university’s administration remains resolute in upholding its standards and ensuring a disciplined academic environment.

A Personal Journey Rooted in Beauty and Entrepreneurship
Abiola’s journey into the beauty industry began early, growing up among six sisters in an entrepreneurial household. Observing the impact of confidence and beauty on perception, she developed a passion for beauty. After completing her undergraduate studies and a stint in the corporate world, Abiola’s love for beauty led her to open a make-up studio. It was here that her foray into skincare began, as clients frequently inquired about her self-made skincare routines. This kickstarted her journey into the skincare and beauty industry, which evolved from a fascination with beauty into a lifelong commitment to skincare, beauty, and wellness.
To further her expertise, Abiola earned an MBA in Business Administration and Management from the Metropolitan School of Management, UK, in 2018. This combination of education, experience, and a deep-rooted passion for beauty has shaped her entrepreneurial journey, leading to the establishment of Hush’D Makeover.
As Hush’D Makeover celebrates its anniversary, Abiola reflects on the brand’s journey with a sense of appreciation.

The brand has adopted a ‘fast beauty’ strategy, inspired by fashion brands like Zara, to keep up with ever-shifting consumer preferences. This approach involves frequent launches of new skincare collections, optimized turnaround times from product design to retail, and increased production cycles. Popular collections such as the Elevate Collection and the Unfiltered Collection are a testament to this dynamic approach.
Episode 6: Unraveling Secrets – The next morning, Jess woke up to the soft light streaming through the curtains and the gentle rise and fall of Dylan’s chest beneath her cheek. A sense of peace and contentment filled her, unlike anything she had felt before. As she lay there, her mind drifted back to the night before, the way Dylan had touched her, the way he had made her feel. A smile tugged at her lips.
Dylan stirred, his arms tightening around her. “Good morning,” he mumbled, his voice thick with sleep. He looked down at her, his eyes warm, a lazy smile spreading across his face.
“Good morning,” Jess replied, her voice soft. She reached up, brushing a strand of hair from his forehead. “How did you sleep?”
“Like a rock,” Dylan said with a chuckle. “How about you?”
Jess nodded, her smile widening. “Best sleep I’ve had in a long time.”
They lay there for a while, enjoying the quiet, the intimacy of the moment. Jess felt a strange sense of belonging, of safety, as if this was exactly where she was meant to be. But as the minutes ticked by, a nagging thought began to creep into her mind, a worry that she couldn’t quite shake.
“Dylan,” she said, breaking the silence, her voice hesitant. “What happens now?”
Dylan’s smile faded, his expression turning serious. “What do you mean?”
Jess bit her lip, trying to find the right words. “I mean, we’ve been spending a lot of time together, and last night… I just want to know what this is. Are we… are we together?”
Dylan looked at her, his eyes searching hers. For a moment, Jess feared she had said the wrong thing, pushed too hard, too fast. But then Dylan’s expression softened, his hand reaching up to cup her cheek.
“Jess, I want this,” he said, his voice earnest. “I want us. I know it’s fast, and I know we still have a lot to figure out, but I’m all in if you are.”
Jess felt a rush of relief, her heart swelling with happiness. “I’m in,” she said, her voice firm. “I want us too.”
Dylan’s face broke into a wide smile, and he pulled her close, his lips finding hers in a kiss that was soft, tender, filled with promise. Jess kissed him back, her arms wrapping around his neck, her heart soaring.
As the morning stretched on, they eventually got up, reluctantly leaving the warmth of the bed. Dylan made them breakfast, and they sat on the couch, eating and talking, laughing at silly jokes, enjoying the easy comfort of each other’s company. It felt like a glimpse into a future that Jess hadn’t dared to imagine, a future filled with love and happiness.
But as they were finishing their meal, Jess’s phone buzzed on the table, the screen lighting up with a message. Jess picked it up, her eyes scanning the text. It was from her friend, Lily. Hey, where are you? You didn’t come back last night. Are you okay?
Jess felt a pang of guilt. In the whirlwind of the last 24 hours, she had completely forgotten to let her friends know where she was. She quickly typed out a reply, assuring Lily that she was fine, that she had spent the night with Dylan.
“Everything okay?” Dylan asked, noticing the look on her face.
Jess nodded, setting her phone down. “Yeah, it’s just Lily. She was worried when I didn’t come back last night.”
Dylan raised an eyebrow, a playful grin spreading across his face. “You can tell her you were with me. I’m sure she’ll understand.”
Jess laughed, a blush creeping up her cheeks. “Oh, she’ll understand, all right. She’s been trying to set us up for weeks.”
Dylan chuckled, leaning in to kiss her. “Smart girl.”
The rest of the day passed in a blur of happiness and laughter. They spent the afternoon exploring the town, wandering through the park, stopping for ice cream, enjoying each other’s company. Jess couldn’t remember the last time she had felt so free, so alive.
As the sun began to set, they made their way back to campus, walking hand in hand, the cool evening air wrapping around them. Jess felt a sense of contentment, a feeling that everything was finally falling into place.
But as they approached Jess’s dorm, a figure stepped out from the shadows, blocking their path. Jess’s heart skipped a beat as she recognized him. It was Alex, her ex-boyfriend.
“Jess,” Alex said, his voice tight, his eyes flicking to Dylan and then back to her. “Can we talk?”
Jess felt a knot of tension form in her stomach. She hadn’t spoken to Alex since their breakup, hadn’t even seen him around campus. The sight of him now, standing in front of her, brought a rush of memories, a mixture of anger and pain.
“I don’t think that’s a good idea,” Jess said, her voice cold. She felt Dylan’s hand tighten around hers, a silent show of support.
“Please,” Alex said, his voice pleading. “Just give me five minutes.”
Jess hesitated, torn between her desire to move on and the need for closure. She glanced at Dylan, who gave her a reassuring nod. Taking a deep breath, she turned back to Alex. “Fine,” she said. “Five minutes.”
Dylan squeezed her hand and gave her a supportive look before stepping back, giving them space. Jess followed Alex a few steps away, her arms crossed over her chest, her expression guarded.
“What do you want, Alex?” Jess asked, her voice hard.
Alex ran a hand through his hair, his expression conflicted. “I just… I want to apologize,” he said, his voice soft. “I know I messed up, and I know I hurt you. I’ve had a lot of time to think, and I realize now how much you meant to me. I want to try again, Jess. I want us to work.”
Jess felt a wave of anger rise up, the hurt and betrayal of their breakup still fresh in her mind. “You think you can just walk back into my life and everything will be fine?” she said, her voice shaking with emotion. “You hurt me, Alex. You made me feel worthless. I’m not going through that again.”
Alex looked down, guilt and regret written all over his face. “I know,” he said, his voice breaking. “I know I don’t deserve another chance, but I love you, Jess. I never stopped.”
Jess felt a lump form in her throat, a part of her still aching from the wounds he had inflicted. But as she looked at him, she realized that the love she had once felt was gone, replaced by something stronger, something better. She thought of Dylan, of the way he made her feel, and knew where her heart truly lay.
“I’m sorry, Alex,” Jess said, her voice firm. “But I’ve moved on. I’ve found someone who makes me happy, who makes me feel loved. You and I… we’re over.”
Alex’s shoulders sagged, defeat washing over him. He nodded, his eyes filled with sadness. “I understand,” he said, his voice barely above a whisper. “I just… I hope you find happiness, Jess. You deserve it.”
Jess watched as he turned and walked away, a sense of finality settling over her. She took a deep breath, feeling a weight lift off her shoulders, a sense of closure she hadn’t realized she needed.
She turned back to Dylan, who was watching her with a concerned expression. “Are you okay?” he asked, his voice gentle.
Jess nodded, a smile spreading across her face. “Yeah,” she said, her voice light. “I’m more than okay.”
Dylan pulled her into his arms, holding her close, his touch soothing, reassuring. Jess felt a warmth spread through her, a feeling of safety, of love. She knew there would be challenges ahead, but with Dylan by her side, she felt ready to face whatever came next.
Episode 5: The Night We Fell – The sun had barely set when Jess’s phone buzzed, a text from Dylan lighting up the screen. Hey, I’m outside. Want to go for a walk? Jess felt a flutter of excitement in her chest as she read his message. She grabbed her jacket and slipped out of her dorm, her heart racing.
Dylan was waiting by his car, leaning against the hood, a lazy smile on his face. Jess felt her heart skip a beat at the sight of him, his dark hair tousled, his eyes sparkling in the fading light. He looked effortlessly handsome, and Jess couldn’t help but feel a rush of warmth.
“Hey,” he said, straightening as she approached. “You look amazing.”
Jess blushed, a shy smile spreading across her face. “You’re just saying that.”
“No,” Dylan said, his voice serious. “I mean it.”
They walked together, their hands brushing occasionally, sending sparks of electricity through Jess. The night was cool, a gentle breeze rustling the leaves, the stars twinkling above. They talked as they walked, their conversation light, easy, filled with laughter.
Eventually, they found themselves in a secluded spot, a small park near the edge of campus. Dylan led Jess to a bench, and they sat down, their shoulders touching, the silence between them comfortable, filled with unspoken words.
Dylan turned to Jess, his expression serious, his eyes searching hers. “Jess, I need to tell you something,” he said, his voice low. “I’ve been thinking about you, about us, and I… I think I’m falling for you.”
Jess felt her breath catch in her throat, her heart pounding. She hadn’t expected this, hadn’t expected Dylan to be so open, so vulnerable. She looked into his eyes, seeing the sincerity, the fear, the hope, and felt her own walls crumbling.
“I think I’m falling for you too,” she admitted, her voice barely above a whisper.
Dylan’s eyes lit up, a smile spreading across his face. He leaned in, his lips brushing against hers, a soft, gentle kiss that sent shivers down Jess’s spine. She kissed him back, her hands tangling in his hair, pulling him closer, needing more.
The kiss deepened, growing more urgent, more insistent. Jess felt a heat building between them, a desire that burned through her, setting her skin alight. Dylan’s hands slid down her back, pulling her closer, his touch igniting a fire within her.
“Dylan,” Jess gasped, her voice breathless. She felt his smile against her lips, his hands sliding under her shirt, pushing it up, exposing her bare skin to the cool night air. Jess shivered, a mixture of anticipation and desire coursing through her veins.
“Do you want to go back to my place?” Dylan whispered, his voice low, filled with need.
Jess nodded, her heart racing. “Yes,” she breathed, her own desire matching his.
They hurried back to Dylan’s apartment, their hands entwined, their hearts pounding. As soon as they were inside, Dylan pulled Jess into his arms, his lips crashing against hers, his hands roaming over her body, exploring, caressing, leaving a trail of fire in their wake.
Jess moaned, her body arching into his touch, her own hands sliding under his shirt, feeling the hard muscles beneath. They stumbled towards the bedroom, shedding their clothes, their bodies desperate to feel each other, to erase the space between them.
Dylan’s hands slid over Jess’s skin, his touch sending sparks of electricity through her. He pushed her onto the bed, his body covering hers, his lips trailing down her neck, his teeth grazing her skin. Jess cried out, her fingers digging into his shoulders, her body trembling with need.
“Dylan, please,” she begged, her voice a desperate whisper.
Dylan’s eyes darkened with desire, his hands sliding down her body, his fingers finding the wetness between her thighs. Jess gasped, her hips bucking against his hand, her body aching for him, needing him.
“You’re so beautiful,” Dylan murmured, his voice thick with desire. He kissed her, his lips soft, his touch gentle, his fingers sliding inside her, making her moan, making her tremble.
Jess’s head fell back, her eyes closing as Dylan moved inside her, his touch sending waves of pleasure crashing over her. She felt the tension building, coiling tight inside her, ready to snap. Dylan’s mouth found her breast, his tongue teasing her nipple, his fingers working her, taking her higher, pushing her closer to the edge.
“Dylan,” Jess moaned, her body trembling, her mind spinning. She felt the pleasure peak, felt the world blur around her, and then she was falling, crashing over the edge, her orgasm washing over her, leaving her breathless, trembling in Dylan’s arms.
Dylan kissed her, his lips soft, his touch gentle as he held her, let her ride out the waves of pleasure. Jess’s breathing slowed, her heart still pounding in her chest, a smile spreading across her face.
“Wow,” she whispered, looking up at him, her eyes sparkling with joy.
Dylan grinned, his own breath coming in short gasps. “We’re just getting started,” he said, his voice low, filled with promise
Midnight Confessions – Episode 5: The Night We Fell
Episode 4: Heat of the Moment – The lake shimmered under the morning sun, its surface calm and serene, a stark contrast to the whirlwind of emotions raging inside Jess. She lay there on the blanket, Dylan’s body half-draped over hers, their breathing heavy, hearts racing. The intensity of their connection left Jess both exhilarated and terrified. She wanted more, needed more, but a part of her still hesitated, still held back, afraid of getting hurt.
Dylan’s fingers traced lazy patterns on her stomach, his touch sending shivers through her. “What are you thinking?” he asked, his voice soft, laced with curiosity.
Jess turned her head to meet his gaze, her eyes searching his. “I’m scared,” she admitted, her voice barely above a whisper. “Scared of what this means, of what happens next.”
Dylan’s expression softened, his fingers stilling. “I get it,” he said, his voice gentle. “This is new, and it’s intense. But Jess, I want you to know I’m not going anywhere. I’m in this for real, for as long as you want me.”
His words sent a rush of warmth through Jess, easing some of her fears, but not all. “It’s not just about you leaving,” she said, sitting up, pulling the blanket around her shoulders. “It’s about me. I don’t know if I’m ready to be vulnerable again. I’ve been hurt before, and I can’t go through that again.”
Dylan sat up beside her, his hand finding hers, fingers lacing together. “I won’t hurt you,” he promised, his voice earnest. “I know I have a reputation, but I’m not that guy. Not with you. I care about you, Jess. More than I’ve cared about anyone.”
Jess looked into his eyes, seeing the sincerity, the vulnerability there, and felt her heart swell. She wanted to believe him, wanted to trust him, but the scars of her past were hard to ignore. Still, as she looked at Dylan, she felt a flicker of hope, a spark of something new, something beautiful. Maybe this time would be different. Maybe this time, she could let go of her fears and take a chance.
Jess leaned in, her lips brushing against his in a soft, lingering kiss. “Okay,” she whispered, her heart pounding. “Let’s see where this goes.”
Dylan’s face lit up with a smile, his hand cupping her cheek, his thumb brushing over her skin. “I promise you won’t regret it,” he said, his voice filled with conviction.
They spent the rest of the morning by the lake, talking, laughing, getting to know each other in a way they hadn’t before. Jess felt herself relaxing, letting down her walls, allowing Dylan to see the parts of her she usually kept hidden. It was scary, but it was also freeing, a weight lifting off her shoulders she hadn’t realized she’d been carrying.
As the sun climbed higher in the sky, they decided to head back to campus. Dylan drove, his hand resting on Jess’s thigh, a silent reassurance that he was there, that he wasn’t going anywhere. Jess found herself smiling, a lightness in her chest she hadn’t felt in a long time.
They arrived at Jess’s dorm, and Dylan walked her to the door, his hand slipping into hers. “Can I see you tonight?” he asked, his voice hopeful.
Jess hesitated, her mind racing with thoughts of homework, of responsibilities, of everything that still needed to be done. But as she looked at Dylan, she felt all those worries fade away. She nodded, a smile tugging at her lips. “Yeah, I’d like that.”
Dylan grinned, leaning in to kiss her, a soft, tender kiss that made Jess’s heart flutter. “I’ll text you,” he said, his eyes sparkling with excitement. “Until then, try not to miss me too much.”
Jess laughed, rolling her eyes. “You wish.”
She watched as Dylan walked away, his figure disappearing around the corner. Jess leaned against the door, a contented sigh escaping her lips. For the first time in a long time, she felt happy, truly happy. She had no idea what the future held, but for now, she was willing to take things one day at a time.
