Gift also said she is worried she is not working hard enough when she looks at how old she is.

Her words:

1. Sometimes I wish I could move back to Nigeria, but life had other plans. I miss my family terribly. Imposter syndrome is real, and moving abroad makes those feelings worse. I worry I'm not doing enough for my age, especially when comparing myself to others. Since moving, I've become quieter, observing my surroundings before being myself. Honestly, I'm still figuring out my life, and that uncertainty can be scary. I even miss the UK sometimes, where I made memories and felt a sense of familiarity. It's okay to not have it all together, and I'm working on being kinder to myself."
