Renowned actress and singer, Bukunmi Oluwasina, recently revealed the reasons behind her decision to stop reading her social media messages.
In a candid expression, she explained that this year, her focus is on personal matters, but the emotional toll of witnessing the struggles of her loved ones makes it challenging. Despite intending to remain silent this year, she finds it difficult as the pain lingers.
Bukunmi Oluwasina expressed her distress at the plight of those she cares about, stating that, despite her financial means, she feels powerless to solve everyone's problems. She admitted to avoiding her direct messages for days as checking them negatively impacts her mental health.
Interestingly, she observed a shift in her DMs, noting that individuals who were once affluent, ordinary, or struggling are now reaching out for financial assistance.
In her words: “As much as I really want to mind my business for 2024, it’s hard. It’s hard cos it hurts. It hurts watching the people you love and care so much about suffering, and you can’t do anything about it, because no matter how much you have or what you do, you can’t solve everybody’s problems. I have been avoiding my DM for days now, cos every time I open it, it messes up my mental health. Both poor, averagely okay, and even rich, are now begging for financial assistance. A month’s salary can’t even feed you for a week, let alone the whole family.”
