They said beans gives blood.
I didnβt argue.
But I never really rated it. Because how will something that smells like poverty in the compound be the same thing that builds kings?
Until one dayβ¦
I was broke.
Not broke like βmanage spaghetti.β
Broke like βshould I boil water and drink it like tea?β
I opened my cupboard. Beans stared back.
Silent. Humble. Available.
I hissed. But hunger humbled me.
I soaked it. Waited hours. Boiled it.
Added onions, pepper, palm oil ,small crayfish from corner-corner.
When I say that pot of beans reset my destiny...
I mean my ancestors clapped from the other side.
After eating it?
I washed clothes
Cleaned my room
Replied 8 messages I have been ignoring
Energy was unmatched.
Mind became clear.
Thatβs the day I respected beans.
Now anytime life tries to humble me,
I humble it firstβ¦
With beans and calmness.
Because guess what?
You canβt fight someone who just ate beans.
Theyβre strong, full, and ready for anything including heartbreak.πππ
