Parent Child Relationships

Image
 The cloud of ambivalence was filling my sky. I was in between a personal issue that shouldn't be addressed and a random ruckus where our views shouldn't be neglected. I am a good swimmer and I wouldn't want to dive into this ocean of story writing without rendering a tea of apology, lol. I hung my pen for some time because it needed rest….this is an inked joke and I must tell you, it isn't something the ears would fancy. Pride is a thing you know, protecting it shows how vulnerable I can be. In a world of consistency being consistent is key.  I shuffled my cards in a quest to broaden my horizon, spinning around the narrow way of interrogation and practical discussions with friends who were ready to express their opinions, vent their spleen on matters arising and also render pieces of advice to the evolving generations that are willing to resonate. I want y’all to know that this topic was born out of the frustration I encountered during this pandemic break, lol, I could...

Love at first sight

Image
Yunno, I believe this popular phrase has led so many people, not particularly to the “wrong” direction but in just a funny direction I myself cant explain πŸ‘€.    The question on    “love at first sight”    makes everyone talking, so many opinions and views I cant wait to share 😜 So I did something like a survey, asking several people on their opinion concerning “love at first sight”. And to tell you the truth, it was fun as I had the opportunity to view life in another point. I’m sure we all have little understanding on what ‘love’ is. The dictionary explains love as an intense feeling of attraction towards someone or a sexual desire/activity. Well, to me, love is so many things, so many things that I wouldn't be able to explain now till later on. So, I would be stating every opinion I got and i'm sure at the end we would all have something to learn 😏. i got so many answers and i'm so glad for the awesome corporation i got from everyon...

THE ONLY SOLUTION

Image
Its just like a burden A burden or fear That keeps me thriving Not because I have fallen or tumbled But because I have to win I know not what tomorrow brings But I have to keep pushing Keep pushing so as not to be pinned to the wall Just like every other who gave up and became another thing to be ignored Isn't the struggle enough for one to give up on everything? The struggles of life that seems to be for eternity The tears and the wailing that just has to be another daily routine Isnt it bad enough? Isnt it bad enough that people just has to  be in tears In order not to be in peers, The only option that seems to be the way out of the trench Even tho it all leads to death. Isn't it bad enough? But I'll continue looking unto the hill For whence cometh my help? My help cometh from the Lord that created the heavens and the earth JESUS, THE ONLY SOLUTION.                             ...

Dating as teenagers

Image
It has always been a question on my mind; I needed to hear the views of others concerning this “DATING” of a thing, so I did something like an interview with most of my contacts. The question was “what’s your definition on dating? Like we’re definitely going to get married so we need to start preparing for it now yh? that’s where dating falls in yh? Or it’s just to pass time. Please explain, don’t really get”. Well, the part whereby I said I don’t get wasn’t true because I have my own opinion on what dating is all about, But I needed to hear your view that’s why I said so. Forgive me if I lied (πŸ˜‰πŸŒš).   Well, I got over 25 responses to this question, which actually means more than 25 people replied to the question. So many people had the same ideology, so I’m going to state some of the answers and merge the rest. Then, later on, ill state my own opinion since I didn’t give any answer to those that asked for my opinion.  It’s going to be a long...

God’s will

“I want to be a medical doctor”πŸ‘¨πŸ˜· “I’ll love to graduate at the age of 22”πŸ‘Œ “I want to go to the University of Lagos state”πŸ“‘ “I want to get married at the age of 27”πŸ‘°πŸ’“ “I want to buy a pair of shoe”πŸ‘ž “I’ll marry a tall guy”.πŸ’ƒ There are so many things we want for ourselves but have you ever thought “is this what God wants for me?”. It’s normal to dream and visualize our future but do we leave God aside when we do so?πŸ˜– It’s easy to wish for a need but it isn’t easy to know if the outcome will be of benefit to us, that’s why we need the all-knowing God in every decision we make. Have you ever thought of leaving every decision for God? He sees the end from now and knows what’s best for you and me.πŸ’₯ Something I’ll love us to note is that No one else can decide your future better than the way God will.πŸ˜„ He is your creator and he knew you before you even came about, so leave everything to him; he is and will forever be capableπŸ‘Š.

If only

Chapter 1 So it’s something we all were taught while growing up; “family should be built on love, if there’s no love there’s no trust and if there’s no trust, there’s no family”, but this wasn’t the case of my family. We were this “perfect” family outside, the family with no troubles, the close relationship type of family, a Christian living family. A lot of people looked up to my family, wished to have a family like mine, someone even once said “ I wish God was fair enough, he could have put me in your family” and I just smiled, really, what do you expect me to do apart from smiling? How I wish they knew we were not worthy to be even called a family. We barely knew each other, we were all hypocrites. I really don’t blame my mum; she is a single parent trying her best not to raise us up the way she was trained. She went through a lot of troubles while she was younger, having a tough person as a mum and having no one to rely on, no one to pour her thoughts too. She got preg...

Purpose

Image
What is purpose? Dictionary meaning explains it’s a reason for which something is created or for which something exists. Synonyms are objective, reason, and intention. What is your purpose here on earth? As for me, for the fact you’re alive and living; there’s a reason to it. And what’s that reason? I’ve heard so many people say that they are here to become successful, gain money and serve God in between, but do you really think that’s why you are created? I read a quote once and it says “the two most important days of your life is the day you were giving birth to and the day you realize why you were giving birth to, the purpose in which you were brought forth” We may say we were giving birth to because our parents needed children, yeah, I’m not disputing that fact but that’s in the physical sense. Speaking spiritually now, you were given to your parents by God for a reason apart from the fact that they needed a child and I will be explaining those reasons/ purposes ...

Continuation of Misled

Image
Chapter three I opened my door the fastest way I could, sat down on the bed and dialed Emeka's number. I was getting frustrated because that was the fourth time I had called him on that fateful Saturday.  Emeka is not like this, probably his phone is not with him, I thought. I laid down my head and thought it was best if I slept. I woke up with a jilt, cleaned my face that was dripping with sweat and turned over to where I thought I kept my phone. I swept my hands furiously on the bed looking for my phone. After a minute of thorough search, I stood up to switch on the light to check if NEPA had brought the light, faithfully they didn't fail me so I switched on the fan also. I looked up towards the direction of the clock; it was 9:30pm. "What's wrong with Emeka, why is he acting like this" I soliloquized. When the outcome was negative after checking my phone to see if I missed any call, I got afraid. Does this mean the dream I had is gradually ...

Misled

Image
You won’t be misled, so he said, you just have to do this so you will become mature. The look on his face ensured me that he wasn’t going to leave me heartbroken just as Solomon did, ‘No he can’t’ I assured myself. Slowly I let him pull off the wrapper I was holding on to tightly and let his hand do the rest. At that moment I knew I was going to be matured, at last, no more mockery and loneliness, I was going to be a WOMAN. The first month after the experience with Emeka was the best time of my life, he made me feel love, yes LOVE, he made me know what love felt like, he supported and made me the woman I always wanted to be; the ‘girl’ all the lady eyed in the campus. I was no longer a girl, they knew that. I had tasted what they all boasted about, the best part of it was that it wasn’t just anybody, it was Emeka.  Who is there? I replied to the knock on the door, “it’s me” was what I heard and I started wondering who the fool was knocking on my door at that time of th...
