Every semester, like clockwork, my father would send me a text message filled with encouraging words, wishing me good luck before my exams. It was a simple gesture, but one that meant the world to me. It gave me the motivation to push forward and do my best, knowing that I had someone who believed in me.

However, today was different. As the hours ticked by, I waited anxiously for the familiar sound of my phone buzzing with a new message, but it never came. I felt a pang of disappointment and a sense of loneliness, as if I had lost a piece of myself.

During the day, my mother kept calling me to check up on me, knowing that I was feeling ill. Despite her own worries and concerns, she put them aside to make sure that I was doing okay. Her calls were a reminder that I had someone who cared about me deeply and was there for me when I needed them the most. I felt moved by her actions, knowing that she was playing the role of both parents in that moment.

I knew that I had to gather my strength and do what I had to do. I forced myself to take my medications and go write my exams, even though I felt like curling up in a ball and hiding from the world. It was a struggle to keep my emotions in check as I walked through the halls of the exam room, trying to keep my head down and my spirits up.

The tears flowed freely down my face, blurring my vision and making it hard to focus on the questions in front of me. I missed my father's words of encouragement, his gentle voice telling me that he believed in me. But I knew that I couldn't let my disappointment get the better of me.

With each passing minute, I took a deep breath and focused on the task at hand. I channeled all my energy and determination into my exam papers, determined to make my father proud. It wasn't easy, but I pushed through the pain and exhaustion, knowing that the end was in sight.

And when I finally put down my pen and walked out of the exam room, I felt a sense of relief and accomplishment wash over me. Despite the odds, I had done it. I had faced my fears and conquered my doubts, all on my own.

As I walked back home, tired but proud, I realized that sometimes we need to be our own source of motivation and strength. While it would have been nice to receive my father's text message, I knew that his love and support were with me, even if he wasn't physically present. And I was grateful for my mother's unwavering love and support, which helped me get through the tough times.

There is this man that has been in my life like forever. He is quite big in size and an albino, the type that is reddish in color 😅. He stays close to another person I like so much that lives with many relatives 😒.

He is such a sweet man, that kind of guy that is always ready to fight for you. He is so sweet that he even takes out thrash.

Ahh 😩. How fast my heart races when I think of him and how well he makes my blood flow 😅. He goes as far as making sure I don’t get intoxicated when we are out and ensures I’m well nourished .

It’s just sad sometimes how emotional and irritated he can get 😞. He gets angry when he sees people drinking to stupor, take illicit drugs and plus-size people eating unhealthy foods. He sometimes gets so infuriated and could react aggressively to a point that he gets injured and sometimes very ill.

It just saddens me that such a good guy would have to go through things like that because he is so concerned about people 😒.

Everyone knows and has this guy also, but most persons often neglect him 😪...

This guy is your liver 🙂.

The liver is the largest internal human organ. It is reddish-brown in color. It is an essential organ of the body that performs over 500 vital functions, such as removing waste products and foreign substances from the bloodstream, regulating blood sugar levels, creating essential nutrients, etc.

In conditions of liver disease like hepatitis, cirrhosis, etc, the liver becomes unable to perform these functions and could show symptoms like abdominal pain and swelling, jaundice, fever nausea etc

Some tips to maintain a healthy liver:
- Avoid illicit drugs/drug abuse and misuse.
- Drink alcohol moderately.
- Exercise regularly.
- Eat healthy food.
- Practice safe sex.
- Vaccinate (Hepatitis B vaccine).

You can go for a liver function test at the nearest Medical laboratory to know the state of your liver 🙂.

That dude needs to be cared for too 😉.
