I see them in my dreams almost every night. [View in browser](=.wtXO1skzw6_x_1fsRqbZxsQZha3ac641x443grC-fQ8) [Zikoko Daily] 15 February, 2023 Hey . I’m currently nursing a massive headache. Is it karma from pressing the necks of innocent singles yesterday? Or maybe my suffering is because I just read our article on terrifying reasons to avoid pregnancy. Please, join me, and let’s be horrified together. 👇🏽 Tife Editor In This Letter: - 1 [All the terrifying reasons why you shouldn’t get pregnant](=.RTUH8jmLiVGGrLoaODk957NB02go7u1F5J8g0Uw4OGA) - 2 [The best under ₦10k Valentine’s gifts for your bros](=.vkBJ13nc5IFKkzcciCPnLKwVYF1w0BPTYqesUQP3zd4) - 3 [The sappiest love stories you’ll ever read](=.9gR7mhipzNk8HuxSf-q2AKRjS8nG0bYugZNz1fy30pI) WHAT SHE SAID Inside Gist: My Friends Were My Bullies =.CWJ2PnYAGBWAyFQP71l8I7jhQvjLXZSFClGV7jKTtQc Heyy Lolade. I saw this title and thought, “Damn, that’s fucked up”. How did this story happen? The subject filled the call for subjects form with: "I was so badly treated by my friends in school that I still see them shunning me in my dreams as an adult”. I knew I had to tell her story. It's giving villain origin story meets Mexican soap opera. What did you think of the story? Hmm. It was a lot for me. But she later came clean that she was always trying to be friends with people she considered "cool and popular" instead of sticking with people who genuinely shared her interests and wanted to hang out with her. I think she’d created an image in her head of being social and having the coolest friends. But trying too hard just kept getting her into toxic situations. But hey, no judgment here. We all have every right to be aspirational. Right? Right. I still want to be a baller sha. My dreams are valid. 😌 [Read her story here](=.R9Ft2zeRP6ynyUVg2FpZpawSQsu8uDslrgt6WozxbX8) *We'll be tweeting answers to this on our Twitter account at noon, so feel free to tweet us your answers with the hashtag [#ZikokoDailyQuiz](#) --> Zikoko Daily's Top 3 All the terrifying reasons why you shouldn’t get pregnant I thought all I had to worry about was a swollen nose and craving weird things like eko and milk.
