Marriage is beautiful. It is a wonderful and glorious occurrence, which brings about a union of great minds and family. But, it can only be this when done with the right person for the right reasons. The reasons people get married differ, but I hope it is a right one. The "right" reasons for getting married is up to the person getting married, and who they are getting married to; so, this is none of my business. Although it is not my business, I hope the reason they get married is right to them and for them; and not reasons that they delude themselves as being right or because the society or parents believe it is the right time for them to get married. On the other hand, the right person is a very important factor to the success or failure of any marriage. Before getting excited about becoming a Mr. or Mrs., ask yourself some very important, such as: *  Are you marriable? * Do you even have a good relationship with yourself? If yes, how is it going? Is a healthy or an unhealt...

Hello everyone, happy new day, happy weekend, happy new month, happy new year, happy, happy and happy new and old everything. Thank you so much to my dearest readers, followers, subscribers and well-wishers. I couldn't have made it this far without you. Thank you for being a big part of my blogging journey. I hope this day's journey is fruitful for us (you and me). As each day rolls by, I want to beg us to learn about the power and importance of keeping quiet. I am sorry, but sometimes your voice, opinion, ideas, suggestions, thoughts and feelings are really not needed, not necessary, not wanted, not appreciated, not helpful, not impactful, and obviously, not the best means to communicate. This keeping quiet has nothing to do with speaking up against oppression, violence, racism, and the likes. Not to confuse you, please let me explain. Keeping quiet, also known as Silence or best described as the power of your lips being in rest mode is very necessary to achieve a stress...

You know I like you, I know you like me, They know we like each other. Our parents have given their consent. But, we are not compatible, So, why are we still together? Why did you propose to me? Why did I accept your proposal? Why have we fixed a wedding date? Why are we getting married? Why have we gotten married? Two years later, why are we still married? Why did we have kids? How de we have two (2) kids? Should we have brought kids into this? And now, 10 years later, why are we just breaking up? How did we last this long? Should we have done this earlier? How did we come so far? Why did we ever start? Now, I don’t like you. You don’t like me. We both hate each other. Our parents can’t stand each other. We really shouldn’t have started this. Now, our children will be the ones to suffer for this. Photo credit: Google.com Octavio Fossatti on Unsplash.com Dreamstime.com

As unimportant as most of the opinions of others could be, sometimes it hurts. No matter how strong- hearted one might be, sometimes those mean, negative and destructive words, insults or criticism hurt a lot. The people of the world are becoming more insensitive everyday. Some people think the universe has given them the right to say hurtful words to other. Some hide behind the cloak of being blunt, some as being advisers or counsellors; others as being fearless or being straight to the point, and most under the pretense of not being afraid to voice their opinions. Well, I do not know who told them that they are that important in the first place. Who gave you this authority? Who crowned thee Vocal Prince of the universe? Who made you Judge and Jury over the lives of others? I do not know why you do it, but it hurts sometimes. It does not hurt because you think it is true, many at times it hurts because someone as unimportant as you is the one talking. Someone insignificant in one'...

Have you ever wondered of a productive activity you can engage in while waiting at the bus stop? I have one for you. All it requires is your attention and a bit of time. The good thing about this activity is that you can quit whenever you are tired or ready to leave the bus stop. It is important to note that, it is an interesting activity, which is more enjoyable when you do not get involved, but pay close attention to all the happenings around you. Well, this beautiful and highly intellectual activity is (drumroll) Observing . Let me explain how Observing activities at a bus stop can be a fun and intellectual way to pass time and learn, while waiting for your bus. To me, a bus stop is a type of Theatre where different performances happen simultaneously. It is also a place where you can freely observe human interactions and how they react to perceived pressure. If you are ever interested in observing different reactions of people to a given situation, this is the place to be. The Bus s...
