The Scent of Release: Unlearning is the Real Luxury <\/b><\/p>

\u201cUnlearning isn\u2019t forgetting; it\u2019s remembering differently.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

I used to say something in ignorance: \u201cI hate curiosity, because curiosity kills the cat.\u201d <\/i>But curiosity didn\u2019t kill the cat \u2013 it gave her nine lives. I just didn\u2019t know that back then.\"\"<\/p>

And when people reminded me that cats have nine lives, I\u2019d quickly reply: \u201cI\u2019m not interested in losing even one. \u201d<\/i>What an ignorant statement. If I ever told you that in those younger years, abeg no vex \u2014 I\u2019ve grown from that.<\/p>

At the time, I thought curiosity was dangerous \u2014 an invitation to stress myself unnecessarily. Lagos was already stressful. Life was already stressful. So why add more wahala by being curious? Why volunteer to complicate my life with amebo and extra learning?<\/p>

Reading was already a struggle because of dyslexia, so after law school I made a vow: no more stress. If I couldn\u2019t learn it on the job or through everyday life, I didn\u2019t want it. What I already knew was enough. Or so I thought.\"\"<\/p>

Now I see how wrong that was. Life is too full to be lived on repeat. Why keep doing the same thing over and over again when there are new ways waiting?<\/p>

Learning is not just survival \u2014 it\u2019s how you taste life.
And unlearning? That\u2019s how you make space for the new taste.<\/p>

For years, people around me prided themselves on knowing every shortcut by heart \u2014 no GPS, no Google Maps, just instinct and danfo wisdom. I admired it, but for me, it was impossible. Dyslexia never allowed me to trust directions. I was the friend who would call you for directions to your own house \u2014 the same house I had visited the day before.<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

I thought it meant I was disadvantaged for life. Until Google Maps came along. Suddenly, my \u201cweakness\u201d wasn\u2019t weakness anymore \u2014 it was just a different way of navigating.<\/p>

Even today, I still need to pretend to write with my right hand just to know left from right. Born and bred in Lagos, yet I still use Google Maps everywhere. People laugh, I laugh too. Lagos roads or any road may not be my strength. But resourcefulness? That one, I\u2019ve mastered.<\/p>

That\u2019s what unlearning feels like. It\u2019s letting go of the shame of \u201cnot knowing\u201d and embracing the tools that make life fuller and easier.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

We love to celebrate learning \u2014 degrees, certificates, LinkedIn courses. We add and add until our shelves are heavy. But unlearning? That\u2019s harder. It feels like loss. It feels like betrayal of the old ways. Yet it is freedom.<\/p>

Learning fills your cup.<\/span><\/p>

Unlearning empties it \u2014 so you have space for what\u2019s next.Both are survival tools. Both are luxury silk.<\/p>

My generation grew up believing endurance was success. Work late. Delay joy. Save it for \u201clater\u201d \u2014 after the house, after the children\u2019s school fees, after retirement. But sometimes, \u201clater\u201d never comes. And when it does, joy feels like an afterthought.<\/p>

\"\"Unlearning doesn\u2019t mean despising the old. It means holding it with gratitude and still saying: \u201cIt\u2019s time to release.\u201d<\/em> Because sometimes the things you\u2019ve held onto all your life turn out to be indoctrination \u2014 hand-me-down scripts from parents, teachers, society.<\/p>

Think about it:<\/p>

  • We unlearn that curiosity is dangerous. It\u2019s actually the doorway to discovery.<\/li>
  • We unlearn that keeping quiet equals wisdom. Sometimes, silence is the chain.<\/li>
  • We unlearn that staying in one career path equals loyalty. Sometimes, it equals stagnation.<\/li>
  • We unlearn that Lagos chaos is only suffering. Sometimes, it\u2019s theatre, comedy, even connection.<\/li><\/ul>
    • We unlearn that rest is laziness. Sometimes, it\u2019s wisdom<\/li>
    • We unlearn that forgiveness is weakness. Sometimes, it\u2019s power.<\/li>
    • We unlearn that joy must be delayed. Sometimes it must be claimed now.<\/li><\/ul>

      Unlearning isn\u2019t weakness. It\u2019s strength. It\u2019s the humility to admit that yesterday\u2019s answers might be today\u2019s chains.<\/p>

      For me, unlearning often shows up in the softest ways. Like when I get home after a long Lagos day and open the door to my room. The first thing that greets me is my TINUKE Luxury Reed Diffuser<\/strong> from WhiffWonders \u2014 fast becoming my favorite fragrance. It\u2019s already there, waiting, shifting the air before I even drop my bag.<\/p>

      And then, I reach for my TINUKE Room + Linen fragrance.<\/strong> I spritz it on my duvet covers, my curtains, even the sheets. One mist, and the air shifts again. The heaviness of the day dissolves \u2014 the conversations, the pressures, even the things I didn\u2019t get right.<\/p>

      That\u2019s what unlearning feels like. Clearing out what no longer serves, making space for something softer. A reset.TINUKE<\/strong> doesn\u2019t just scent the room. It rewrites the air-like unlearning rewrites the self.<\/p>

      It isn\u2019t about erasing the past. It\u2019s about freshening the present, so you can finally breathe again.Because some scents fade into the room.
      But Tinuke? Tinuke becomes the room.<\/strong><\/p>

      The truth is this: life is not just about what we add.
      It\u2019s also about what we release.And sometimes, the bravest thing you can do is not to learn one more thing \u2014 but to unlearn one old thing.<\/p>

      Because space \u2014 in your mind, your heart, your life \u2014 that is the real luxury silk. Unlearning is not forgetting. It\u2019s remembering differently.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
