Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo’s former bestie and UK-based Nigerian colleague, Tosin Abiola, popularly known as Tocyn Omo Brish, has spoken about the importance and joy of relationships.
Tocyn Omo Brish shared a video of herself on Instagram, accompanied by advice on relationships. The fair beauty noted that humans sometimes make st#pid decisions, hurt people and say things that are hard to take back, but none of those makes one toxic, rather it makes us human.
She highlighted some characteristics of toxic people, which include their inability to learn and lack of love which she doesn’t find adorable.
Omo Brish stated that “Relationships are meant to be fun, but none of us are meant to be played.”
She wrote, “One of the joys of being human is that we don’t have to be perfect to be one of the good ones. At some point, we’ll all make st#pid decisions, hurt the people we love, say things that are hard to take back and push too hard to get our way. None of that makes us toxic. It makes us human. We mess things up, we grow, and we learn.
“Toxic people are different, they never learn. They never self-reflect, and they don’t care who they hurt along the way. That doesn’t mean you have to be first all the time, but certainly, you shouldn’t have to fight strangers for your share of attention. Some things will never be adorable.
“We all know that little white lies happen. In fact, research has found that when lying is done for the right reasons (such as to protect someone’s feelings), it can actually strengthen a relationship. However, when lies are told with malicious intent and for personal gain, it will always weaken relationships.
“Relationships are meant to be fun, but none of us are meant to be played.”
