Latifah's Response

Frankly speaking, I'm really touched by the message you sent me. It was precise and concise. And enriched with all the ingredients that virtually swept me off my feet. I'm so speechless right now, I don't know where to incisively start from. I do also like you very much, it's like we meant for each other. How we even met and carried on straight away is even mind-blowing.
Seriously speaking, it doesn't take me this short a time to really like and get to know someone that much. But with you everything seems entirely different and feels so right. Sometimes I get carried away in my thoughts trying to figure out how it all actually started. I know you have realized there are one or two things drawing me back. It was a good thing you made your intentions clear since I get confused sometimes if we faking or actually mean what we doing. I'm also aware you really want me to open up and that's what I'm basically doing right now. Cause I'm quite sure no girl is gonna give you this lengthy message as a reply to a simple but complicated question. I love being around you which I know you've noticed, it just feels good even though we don't necessarily talk about us and of course you make me do all the talking. I was the fun type but it's been a while I had real fun. Once in a while, I feel like having fun but I have realized you are the one I usually want to have it with.  Despite the fact that you show attitude sometimes which isn't so cool. I'm sure you are cognizant of the fact that I have a lot of male friends of which you ain't comfortable with but please get use to it.
The only problem I have now is I don't really want to get into a relationship right now since I have had my ups and downs in a lot of them. Concerning relationship, I am so not interested at the moment. Maybe with time, I would want to but as at now I want to be single. You ain't the problem at all, I am. And I really do like you and would love us to be as we were cause you mean a lot to me and wouldn't want to hurt you in anyway. Please don't take this the wrong way.

Freddie's Proposal

I don't know how to start this but I would try not to beat around the bush. If you haven't realized where I'm headed to, all I'm doing now is making my intentions clear to you and would be expecting same from you as well. I know we just met but my father always says, " If she's the right one go ahead cause staying with someone for 3years doesn't still make you know them inside out. They would still do something that would baffle your mind at times. Follow your heart and your instincts if you know you have a good one". And that's all I'm doing now.
I know one thing for sure, which is the fact that you have everything in a girl I desire. The way you walk, talk, laugh, that your smile you give me when you like what I'm doing but pretend you don't and tell me to stop. How you tease me when I fumble whilst I'm trying to cheer you up after pissing you off. When we usually end up saying the same words as if we know what's on each others mind. Moments when you call me and have nothing to say but just wanna hear my voice. I mean you always have this way of shredding me with sweet talks. Making me feel hyper and swollen-headed all at once, that I love about you. How you mess with my hair when we chatting and even the way you play with your hair unconsciously when you thinking too hard. And all the pegs and over-time hugs you give me when it's time for you to go and it's like you wanna stay a bit longer. But you keep looking at your wrist watch from time-to-time. Times when you want us to cuddle but you don't wanna make it obvious even though you want me to notice. The only thing I don't like is you not being straight-forward with things we both would like to do. I want you to know you can tell me anything just as I feel free in doing. I don't want it to seem I'm the only one always thinking about something silly or funny. Don't take this the wrong way, I just want us to be very free with each other that even if you far off and I wink at you, you would know precisely what I mean. We do have this chemistry I think if we built upon can really flourish and be enriched. Let's put critics from friends aside and tell me exactly what your heart tells you. Would you be my girlfriend?

Claude's Story

Having regrets is something I don't really have a problem with. Agreeably, we all have our little regrets but that doesn't affect us since we are satisfied with how far we have come. Understandably, regrets are things you can do nothing about because it's past and gone. But we can make sure not to repeat them again, showing that we've learned our lesson. Depending on what your regret is about. Mine is about this girl I met in First year. Not that I took her for granted or anything but I should have held on to her. Knowing very well how committed, kind-hearted and trustworthy she was. Her name was Lexy. She was the full-package and I actually liked her and she liked me as well. In fact, we could text continuously for a week non-stop. We always had something new to talk about. And we unremittingly wanted to see each other even between two-lecture breaks. She was nice to be around, fun, I mean any sweet words you have in mind to describe.
 Until I messed it all up by asking if she knew Ruby reading the same course she was. She couldn't tell but she got to know her even though they weren't friends. She discovered something fishy between I and Ruby and she verified from me and I told her, Ruby was my special someone until she came into the picture. But she didn't want anything to do with me anymore claiming she didn't want trouble. Not that anything happened between I and Ruby too. She even found someone special and left me hanging. Lexy, on the other hand, had already kept her distance cause she frequently saw I and Ruby together and didn't want to be the cause of anything. She was that type of person. But she did make her feelings clear to me though. We lost that great connection, and until this very day I regret this and wish I could have done things the right way because we really had something in common. Anytime I meet her I remember the mistake I did. So hold on to anyone you like.

Question

This is actually a question that I need a reply to. My roommate had a very close friend by name Adele. They were very close but along the way she got herself a boyfriend. She then sent my roommate a message, I quote, "I have a boyfriend now and he's the jealous type so we can't be friends any longer. Of course, he was speechless and just didn't understand. He thought it was one of her jokes so he would send a hello message once in a while but the girl wouldn't reply. This carried on for a whole semester. He went ahead to send the girl a Christmas and Happy New Year message but she didn't reply either. Then in the cause of the new semester at hand, she sent him a message I quote, "This weekend is my birthday, come and look for me, be ready to take me out". What reply do you think the girl deserves?

A Little Consideration

You know sometimes we say stuffs that we think doesn't affect us in any way
but at the long run we find ourselves in the shoes of those we spoke against.
Let me clarify my statement since you won't really get me if you haven't been
in such a situation.
I was on my way to the hostel and I heard this interesting argument between a third year student and a final year student. The third year student was giving various reasons why the final year students would misuse the wifi service being provided and that it should be delayed and those fixing it where listening to his argument and they were actually agreeing with him. The final year student on the other hand was very pissed at his analogy and was countering his point with the fact that it was final year student who of course needed the wifi service for their project works. Forgetting he will be in his final year the next semester. I'm sure he wiill forget he ever did same to someone after he is in the same shoes of final year student. The third year student obviously had a point but the positives clearly overshadowed the negatives. Let's try to be less annoying.

Those Things III

Girl: Lol, so you being serious right now?, you can't even look me in the face whilst talking, what shows you are ready to date? 
Boy: I know you like me but you keep saying you over it now. And as you can see I'm not only looking at your face but into your eyes this time around.
Girl: So what do you want to hear me say right now and after saying that then what happens?

Lora's Story

Losing Friends is something I'm really a victim of. It's more
like I don't really care anymore since I have gotten used to it by now.
It's not like I easily make friends but I'm someway so I like maintaining
hello-hello friends. Realized when I get intimate it's either the person
begins to bore me and I start "acting strange", they say or all of a sudden the person
becomes too annoying for my liking. I wouldn't say I'm the emotional type but unnecessary stuffs hurts me. Obviously, by people I care about. Don't know how to explain that to you anyways.  I'm not picky or anything, I do like people and I'm likeable if you being true to yourself but  everyone has got a problem. Mine is holding on to friends but good friends I intend to keep.
 

Clergy Ross

Before I start this piece I wanna clarify the fact that I ain't gay, just don't have a girlfriend for now. I'm not lying if I tell you I have a lot of hi-hi friends but someone to really share personal stuffs  with I don't really have. I did have such people in my life at a point but you know in this life, is give and take. So when I realise they ain't opening up and sharing like I am, I just let them slide away. One person that has been constant in my life is Clergy Ross, he's more like family. We go way back from kindergarten. Even though we didn't go to the same senior high and university we always find a way to catch up. We talk about everything but especially the women in our life. Actually he's a cool dude, very likeable. He's always got an information you would wanna hear. Also has the rundown of people off head, more like a database system. Music is one thing we have in common. We just love and share similar taste in music.
In fact, he's the one that gave me the idea of creating a blog to keep stock of my writings since most of them just go to waste. He's got good advice which comes out once in a while and when it does you better hold on to it like I did with creating a blog. Interestingly, we both single, wouldn't go into that too much. lol. He's too careful even though it may seem the ladies he likes, ends up becoming his bestie. Walking with him is sometimes annoying cause he has countless friends so you would have to stop averagely every two minutes to say hi to someone.
Obviously, he's a gentleman and takes his time to walk. Also takes his time to analyze stuffs as well, isn't quick to judge. He likes to take risks regardless the fact that he does what makes him feel comfortable. Easily makes friends but isn't too good with text messages. He's reasonably open, takes advice, acts matured, accepts his faults but sometimes feels lazy to carry out something when he has the idea. He perceives what is expected of him and tries his best to make people feel comfortable around him. Frankly, the jovial type, considerate, influential, gives respect to whom respect is due. He keeps away from people he isn't compactible with rather than faking to like them. Clergy Ross. How would you describe your bestie, twin, or whoever is very vital in your life?
  

What People Think

 Bel: I posted one of my writings on a group page of mine and one of my friends was like; I should write something about him. And the first thought that came into mind was, if someone was to write something about me how would it be like.? What would they really emphasis on?, and would they say anything good about me?, or would the bad surpass the good?. Because I do have a couple of friends if I'm supposed to say something about them I wouldn't just have anything to say rather than to beat around the bush. Most people would say they don't really care what people have to say about them. I think it's just a way of making ourselves feel better, because when we critically analyze things ourselves, we know for sure what people would say about us. Either than everyone concluding that,  "we are okay".  We should at least get three or four people to say something special about us. It's not like it's a necessity or something but it's to know the kind of life we're living and the kind of opinions people have about us. "After all what?",  someone may say. Still ago ahead to ask a couple of your friends what they think about you and wait for a reply. And note the similarities in whatever they have to say.

How it Started

Jude was in the room on his bed going about with his usual routine when Eve walked in. She was after a roommate of his who was busy sleeping. Jude turned towards the direction of Eve and was like see her sweet self in his head which brought about a big smile on his face. Eve noticed the smile and felt comfortable at once, she joined the movie Jude was watching after she noticed her friend was fast asleep. Jude was trying to convince himself it was his charms that made her stay and not come back later so he was feeling proud of himself to get such a wonderful company out of the blue. Of Late, his friends had been saying he had lost his coolness that made him so likeable, hence, he was wishing his friends were here to  esperience his breakthrough.
But Fred, his roommate woke during their chat and then  he realized she was just using him as means to an end. lol. It did hurt him a little, oh come on!, cut him some slack. Sometimes you know how obvious something is but you try to convince yourself just to make you feel better. Anyway Jude made up his mind not to allow her use him in case she came back another time. It turned out that Eve also had a roommate who was Jude's friend so he started going over. She came over often as well but anytime she did, Jude would be in bed "pretending to sleep" as she liked to put it.
So she would leave and send him a message of how annoying he is. Since he always claims he misses her but never shows it when she comes over. He also thought it wasn't his fault since she seem pretty okay. Laughing and chatting here and there, he didn't know what she wanted him to do actually. But he realized he didn't really give her attention as she does when he goes over to hers. And that was how it all started. After a week or two they both realized they were getting emotionally attached to each other. Eve confronted Jude first about the matter and he clarified his conscience was clear and that he was just playing along and nothing else which was clearly a lie. Since he had a bad record of opening up to a girl and later realizing the girl wasn't so much interested as he was. He just couldn't keep repeating the same mistakes. Eve also decided to lay low by not getting herself involved so much for her own sake.
To Jude's surprise, Eve had the same getting emotionally attached over little things problem. It is just a strange and complicated situation to find yourself in. Despite the fact that she wants to take things to the next level, she doesn't want things to backslide since she hasn't really gotten a hold of him yet and he cannot read her mind as well. But he just hope things work out as he plans. 

And She Stopped

I have a cute friend in my hostel called Efua. She used to visit me once in a while usually when I told her I missed her and is been a while I saw her. But one day I messed up, I forgot I sent her a message telling her she should pass by when she is free. Two hours later, she knocked on my door.
Unfortunately, I had another friend over at that moment who was just with my laptop looking through my pictures, laughing and commenting. I was playing music as well and the speakers were pretty loud so it took a while to hear someone was actually at the door. Eventually, I opened up and realized it was her. Silly enough, I put on a surprised face forgetting I was the one who invited her in the first place. She stood there staring at me in a cute smile and looking adorable. Acting all baby-like. I then signaled her to come back a few minutes time and shut the door. The girl with me asked whom it was and I replied no one which I guess she heard cause we had stopped playing the music at that moment. Later I noticed how irrational I had been cause it wasn't like I was dating the two of them secretly, neither was I hiding anything from any of them but I just acted silly. I also remembered how nice she was looking, she might have showered and dressed up telling her roommates she was off to visit a friend on the last floor and she returns a few minutes later. Wouldn't they make fun of her?. She hasn't visited me after that, silly mistakes would affect you one way or the other, just avoid them.

The Question, "Why".

I'm not here to motivate you, you don't need that, obviously. Often that's what people think I do, and it's the far off from that. What happens is that, people say to me, "I don't need any motivation." But that's not what I do. I'm the "Why?" guy. I want to know why you do what you do. What is your motive for your actions? What is it that drives you in your life today? Because I believe that the invisible force of internal drive, activated, is the most important thing. I'm here because I believe emotion is the force of life. All of us have great minds unless not challenged. We all know how to think. With our minds we can rationalise anything. We can make anything happen. We don't work in our self-interest all the time, because when emotion comes into it, the wiring changes in the way it functions. Everyone has got a story to tell some day, What would yours be?

Misconception huh!

Reading people's mind is a difficult thing even though some may think otherwise. One minute you think you have pinned them down and the next minute they prove you wrong. Let me tell you one story that just came in mind. I was in grade 4 by then and sitting by this girl. Guess you already aware of elementary school and pairing people up. This is your girlfriend/boyfriend and stuffs like that. I was very calm so it took me a while to start catching up with my sitting partner whilst others had started chatting even before knowing whom their sitting partner was. I then got very close to this girl called Goldie, who she felt most of her classmates didn't really like her. She started confiding in me and stuffs like that, getting all emotional sometimes. And just before I taught I knew her inside out, suddenly she changed. She claimed I broke her trust since someone also got to know of something confidential she told me. She just wouldn't listen anymore. She later found someone else to confide in and afterwards did the same thing to the person as well, then I realized it was her habit.

Tricky Questions

There are some simple questions that do not require instant replies so I call them tricky questions. An example is when someone ask you, do you love me?. This is a yes or no question and is easy to notice the person doesn't love you if they start beating around the bush and not answering the question as it is. Others say I love you as a friend, this is a much more clarified answer. Doing away with saying a yes or no which may call for other unnecessary questions or intentions that are uncalled for. But if it is a relationship-based intension you two have then simple questions like these are very relevant rather than assuming for the person based on their actions. Of course everyone is much aware of the fact that actions speak louder than words but assumptions aren't safe either. Hence ask more simple yes or no questions and don't assume. These are some of the questions you can ask;
1. Do you dislike my perfume ?    2. Do you like the way I look?
3. Do you like my friends?    4. Do you like the way I dress? 
5. Do you like the way I behave?    6.Do you find me attractive?

What do you do

I do act pretty strange sometimes of which I am very much aware of. Some call me annoying, others say I have attitude but if you have people being rude to you from infancy you develop this attitude of mine as well. Wouldn't dive into that because I know what you thinking right now, that is really none of your business. But the point I want to make is this, I realized this friend of mine was actually feeling down on herself. She didn't really highly esteem herself so I decided to help out cause I have also been there and know how it feels. I didn't really care to know why she felt that way because obviously it was as a result of past experiences, I just knew the feeling.
 So we became very close which helped me enlighten her on a few basic stuffs like    smiling frequently, behaving like a lady, not talking anyhow, knowing whom to befriend and a whole lot. Not that she didn't know but she needed to discover certain aspects of herself. And she was very calm and involved so it was very much easier teaching her since she was willing and open. She actually did call me her therapist so you can guess how far we went. So one day I proposed to her knowing very well what the answer was but wanted her to have a taste of someone pursuing her and wanting her. I took her down the road of love but I played it safe and made sure she didn't fall in the process, likewise myself. She was feeling a little more different and started seeing herself in a different way since then. Liked her better that way because as a lady you should have a little attitude and even if you are very interested you shouldn't right away say Yes or else you can easily be pranked. That was what I told her the first day we met and it was finally accomplished. It's a good thing to help someone find themselves when you discover they have an inner passion for something beneficial but they seem to cover it up. Help make someone a better person today.

Good to Feel Free

When you're interacting with someone, it's easy to ask questions like "How was your day?" but it's a lot harder to ask the big questions like "What are your thoughts on religion?" .Cause that's very awkward. When someone says to you, "How was your day?" don't respond with, "Fine. Yours?" Be more open than that. Give details. Provide examples. Share stories. People will feel more connected to you (and will probably share some of their own stories) if you open up to them. And staying in the moment means really making an effort, right in that moment, to connect with someone else. Don't think about the things you have to do later. Don't worry about what you didn't get done that day. Be present.

Esmeralda's Story

I'll be honest: I'm not a very open person. If I were a door, I would be locked most of the time. For various reasons (I won't get into them here because I'm pretty sure you don't have all day to read this post), I'm suspicious and distrusting of others. Because of my lack of trust, I password-protect everything. I'm obsessed with guarding my writing, to the point that I hesitate to let others check their email on my computer, narrowing my eyes and quickly replying, "Why? What for?" when asked if I can lend my computer for a moment. This, I know, is a problem. It's a good thing to know your problem, accept them and work towards them as well.

Trust your Struggle

Clark: There is always a lesson to be learned in life, always something we can take away from a situation. Every cloud has a silver lining. Situations we go through life help shape us mentally, emotionally, and physically, these things do not happen for no reason, they happen cause they're helping us become the person we supposed to become. It shapes our thinking, due to our experiences.
Not anyone believes this because they know the hell they've been through and that it's easier said than done. They just don't understand why God would allow their business collapse, baby or relative die, mother go on comma just before school reopening, father go jobless for someone's mistake. In fact, all hell breaks lose on them and God would watch them struggle like no man's business. And you wanna tell them all that is for "some reason". They seriously don't wanna hear the Story of Job during such times, it really pisses them off. But they forget God also watched His One and Only Son, Jesus Christ, go through hell just for "some reason". What about that?..
One thing I have discovered in life is that, the causes why things happen are easily known with good analysis but for reasons why thimgs happen, it takes a long while to actually discover after critical analysis. Some don't understand theirs, because they choose not to, others find it pointless.
Some say, it is what it is and move on. But sometimes the reason why we struggle is to pave way for others or our generation or become a role model for others like Nelson Mandela or helps us think twice when opportunities come our way. Sometimes, it could a curse someone placed on our parents. Remember, when Jesus met the man born blind and healed him. He was asked if he was blind because of the sins of his father or mother. Jesus replied, no, he was born blind to be healed for the glory of God to be shown. Believe it when we say, "Everything happens for a reason".

Does Everything happen for a reason

Does everything happen for a reason? Yes, it does. Nothing happens without a cause. The unspoken premise of the question is at fault. The query is questioning whether something can happen without divine intelligent control. Regardless of the reality of that argument, the logical truth remains that nothing can happen without something causing it. If a coin is flipped, it will come to rest as heads, tails, or on its edge. Any of the three outcomes have an exact reason for the final result. All of the elements of that reason may not be understood, but taken as a group, contributed to the outcome.

Collete's Story

Trust me, since I was first held down and raped at 5 years old, I have tried to find a meaningful reason or purpose to explain it, but there just isn’t one. Not everything is meant to be. I like to think that if they could, God’s followers would try to intervene and help me if they saw my childhood body being broken and abused, and not just write it off as something that was meant to be, and will make me stronger one day. When people say it ‘happened for a reason’ – although I know they’re trying to be hopeful and optimistic- it feels like they are absolving the perpetrator of blame or wrong doing, and denying me the right to be upset or damaged by my past. They say ‘the abuse doesn’t matter, what matters is how you grow and recover from it’, but actually these are horrendous things that need to be processed, not dismissed.
For me, pretending that everything awful thing that happened to me is just an opportunity for self-improvement and part of a perfect plan, that I can’t understand yet, is more often harmful than hopeful. I have tried to grow and strengthen through all the abuse I suffered, and I’m going to continue trying to make the most of where I am, but I’m not going to pretend being raped and beaten has improved me. It has shattered me. (You may have a similar story but I pray Romans 8:28 would keep you going.)

Controversial Topic

When I hear some people say they have no reason for what they did, it keeps me wondering. In principle I do believe everything happens for a purpose. We may never know the purpose, may not need to or may not be ready to know the purpose. Looking for the purpose may also not be the most helpful thing at certain times. I believe God’s plans are comprehensive and always carried out. He is not a weak God being surprised or stumped by tragedies and disasters. He is in absolute control. And He is good. I would rather avoid the risk of painting God as out of control. I believe we cannot even try to interpret His motives unless He reveals them to us. I believe in hiding in His Almighty Power.

A Break Off

It's a good thing to give yourself a break once in a while
just to get your mind off things. It helps you regain focus
and think straight if you weren't. It also enables you to rethink
and reconsider any hasty decisions you made. You'll surely realize
your mistakes and correct them if you want to. Brings you back on
track if you were distracted. It's a necessity, that's why we grant leave
permits at work places to take some time-out and also during sports to
help players release tension. Give yourself a break!

Lousy Misunderstanding

Blaise decided to go home after school today. It was blackout at
 home so his sisters decided to relax at the balcony since it was hot inside.
The sun was really scorching that day, so about 60seconds away from the
house he started taking off his top whilst he was maundering about the weather
condition. Little did he know his younger sister had spotted him from afar
and shouted  "Look, BB  is becoming mad oo". His other sisters hearing this
turned in his direction and join in the howling. He heard the noise coming from
his house and looked towards that direction. He then realized he was the cause
of the wailing, since his sisters were pointing fingers at him and looking at him with disgust. He turned around started running away whilst he was thinking about all the naughty stuffs he had done in school that semester. Counting the number of friends that knew his siblings in his head. Would you have done any different if you were him?. Yeah obviously.

Meeting Someone

We all meet someone new everyday. It could either be
through a friend, face-book, whatsapp, twitter and many others.
At the start the friendship maybe a little shaky but after a week we
just know where exactly the person fits in our life. Whether the ignore,
rejection, friendship or relationship zone. It all depends on us and how we
relate to them. Meeting someone isn't any more exciting cause we just know
we ain't gonna meet anyone different from the group of people we know and
have categorized. But is actually our lifestyle that attracts certain kinds of people
into our life. Even though some people are just lessons in our life.
