Soft Life in a Hard Country

from Musings Of a Tired Nigerian Girl · host Hikmat’llah

There’s so much happening, especially in Northern Nigeria right now. The kidnappings. The killings. The quiet fear we’ve all learned to live with.And in the middle of all that, we’re online talking about soft life.In this episode, I’m thinking out loud about what it really means to want softness in a country that demands toughness from you every day. Is soft life delusion? Is it privilege? Or is it simply fatigue?This is an honest conversation about survival, strength, nervous system exhaustion, and choosing gentleness in a place that doesn’t always feel gentle back.If you’ve been feeling tired but still craving peace, this one is for you.
