In a recent Instagram post, media personality Toke Makinwa made a heartfelt revelation about a significant regret in her life. The star shared that she feels she wasted years trying to prove to others that she is a good person. This confession offers a glimpse into her personal journey and the lessons she has learned along the way.

Makinwa’s post reflects a moment of deep self-awareness. She admitted that her quest to show others her goodness consumed a lot of her time and energy. Instead of focusing on her own happiness and personal growth, she was preoccupied with gaining validation from those around her.

She wrote: 

“Not just in marriage alone, In Friendships, Work relationships, or any kind of association, Begging for your value to be seen or appreciated will never work.

“May you never have to beg people or prove your value to anyone. If they don’t see it, let them go.

“I don’t need to convince you to see reasons to be in my life or work with me, If you don’t see it, that’s on you and it is not a question of it not being good enough too.

“I’m at a point in my life where I’ve wasted years trying to prove l’m a good person, Not anymore. I’ll happily set you free.”
