Feminism is often used in the context of fighting men for control, but I do not share this view. Feminism, to me, is a fight to live exactly as I wish, with no barriers. I don’t want to be forced into a corner just because I am female. I want to make my own decisions, not have someone make them for me.
Many people don’t understand the importance of platonic friendships and relationships. These relationships are important and can really help or mar your mental health.
For me material things are not worth much, they may give momentary happiness and that is it. But for more ways to give yourself a sense of happiness you have to treat yourself and others with compassion.
When an intense person is triggered they don’t stop until they get results. Hence, most of them are successful in their chosen career. They dig their teeth into something and won’t let go until that thing gives. It is a trait that has its upsides and downsides.
Is it really unhealthy not to forgive someone who wronged you? Coming from a very religious background and a society like Nigeria, I am expected to agree and preach the importance of forgiveness. I am going to disappoint a lot of people by saying I do not agree.
Many of us can remember what it felt like to be left out, especially in our impressionable years. I remember doing some really silly things to make others like and accept me. Making the right impression on my peers was so important to me that I will do almost anything to keep their friendship.
Can I just ask, why do you even need to understand what people are doing before you can leave them alone? Why? Do you have that much time left over after dealing with your life that you go about sorting other people’s life?
There are people that are so difficult to be around. They are either moaning or they know it all. Some people hang around to knock your confidence or they are just there to take, take, take and never give anything back in return. Isn’t it a shock to realise that this is possibly you?
Giving and taking is a much healthier relationship. Prayer is good, but follow it up with something physical. It doesn’t have to be something big or expensive. Something thoughtful. Something to show that you really appreciate the person and the impact they made in your life.
What’s up with you? No one is allowed to have an opinion anymore just so you won’t be upset. Get real, and stop being touchy about every subject under the sun. These days people can’t have opinions without being attacked.
