Blog of Nothings @dulcetious - Tumblr Blog

Keeping an alive tumblr in 2026 is proof of one's sincerity and authenticity - a type of person who enjoys posting for the sake of it with absolutely nothing to be gained....just the enjoyment of curation and self expression untainted by opportunity and relevance

Something I’ve learned is this - you have to always seize the opportunity to give love a chance. Don’t miss out on something amazing because you’re worried about money or a job or what car you drive or how your body looks or whatever else superficial thing that we concoct in our all too human minds. Some people are actually genuinely interested in just loving you and being with you but you have to take the risk to find out. Sometimes the risk pays off and sometimes it doesn’t but the only way to find out is to go for it! I know how cliche it is to say this but life is indeed short, you want to spend it with someone who just genuinely wants to be with you whether you’re tall, short, fat, skinny, muscular, rich, poor, etc all of that stuff doesn’t really matter.

5 June 1926 Letters to Véra by Vladimir Nabokov

Lord have mercy.. I’ve just read something that made me incredibly sad. My cousin has Down’s Syndrome, her father (my mother’s late stepbrother- God rest his soul) loved her so very much. We grew up in Nigeria and there’s no special schools there so she just kind of went to the same school as me but all the teachers knew her and made a separate curriculum for her. I used to take care of her, the other kids could be nasty and mean but she always had so much love to give. I remember she always wanted to give me kisses because her dad always gave her kisses..

I’m not here to judge anyone as God has said to leave all judgement to Him, however it does hurt my heart so much that someone could be so cruel to do such a thing. I worked in the NICU and looked after babies with Down’s syndrome and I’ve seen them thrive! They have a special sort of strength, it’s beautiful to see. I’ve also looked after babies with Edward’s Syndrome and seen them pass away but one thing was for certain- whether their parents wanted them or not those babies were loved. They were held tenderly by the NICU nurses and doctors, they were cared for and those that were fortunate enough to have their parents stick around were so cherished by them..

Adulting just never ends especially when you get closer to as well as in your 30s 😭😭😭

I booked Friday off as annual leave at my job and my husband did the same at his job to give us a nice long fun weekend but now we have a meeting with the mortgage advisor on Friday morning at 10am so we have to wake up early with an alarm on what was supposed to be an alarm free weekend. Maybe we’ll enter into the city and do something fun afterwards. My husband also has to work Saturday for a few hours and he wants me with him to keep him company which I am looking forward to but it means waking up early again 😭😭😭

I was really looking forward to sleeping in all weekend (except Sunday because of church)

He does not like me to say this because it’s too depressing but honestly I don’t know what I’d do without my husband when we’re old if God calls him home before me. I can’t possibly survive the pain of knowing a love like this and having to be alone again in my old age. I’m also far too nostalgic for it. We have to go to heaven at the same time or I’m following right behind him if he goes first, I don’t want to spend another day of my life without my cuddle bug 🥺

I love my husband so much, I can physically feel my heart melting with so much love and adoration. I get withdrawals from him on Mondays after we’ve had a weekend together basically attached at the hip and then we have to go to work. Anyway, here’s a picture of him laughing because I was laughing at how he’s parked when we went to do the grocery shopping yesterday after church hahaha he’s a great driver but this was a funny spot to park and when we came out of the car we both started laughing 😭

We had dinner at the house of one of the pastors in our church and it was so awesome. There was another couple from the church that joined us and it was just so lovely to speak to other young married couples who share the same ideals 🥰
