You only have part of the control.
**I remember back in my young age, whenever I'm asked "what do you want to be in the future?"** I would simply reply with_ I want to be a doctor just like my father even though at the time I am sure I fully understood what it means to be a doctor or the efforts and sacrifices it takes to become one. Yet I wanted to be a doctor as a very little kid.
When I left primary school and got into junior secondary school. At the beginning, my thoughts of becoming a doctor were still intact. I dreamt so many times that I have one day finally become a doctor like my father. Putting on that white coat, wearing my stethoscope around my neck, checking and writing prescriptions to patients, giving the sick injections. And that is all I knew then.
My thoughts didn't take me farther to seeing other duties of a doctor like, performing operations and getting stained messy with human blood, higher grade and dedication in school and studies, what out and feeling the pain of the sick and the courage to face the failures when a patient dies. I never thought of all those things till I reached secondary school.
You might have guessed, yes, my opinions begin to change. Actually my opinions changed with the help if other external and inter factors.
First of all, my dad didn't think I was going to do well if I take up the path of being a doctor, he actually did his best in showing me that I am not good in maths and science classes or medical students must be good in maths. And honestly he was not wrong, I sucked at maths and I hated it. So I agreed with him straight ahead because I still hate maths.
When I got into Class 3 (Jss 3), I wanted to be an architect or an artist because I was the best in my class in creative arts until Elijah came. And Elijah was a good artist but I still believed I was better when it comes to creative drawing. We argued on who's better everyday. Haha...I miss that fella.
So time moved on and i reached senior secondary school where every take the first step into choosing a career for himself. Part of me wants to be an Architect or an artist and another part wants to be a scientist. I was so dull. I wasn't sure if I want to be in Art or Science class. I chose to stay in science classes at first but my teacher disagree because I had bad grades in mathematics. So sad.
So with all the ups and downs and after careful thought and random decision I fell into Commercial class without even knowing fully where I was heading, but I knew commercial students got to work at a bank or big organizations and that felt good enough for me. And then the struggles began.
You see all of us at some point in time there's a moment where we all had a dream to be something else than what we are today. Most of us never dreamt of becoming the person we are today. It happens that we are made to be this way and not what we wanted.
**So** ***whatever our dream and whatever we planned and hoped to achieve, we only achieve it because it was meant for us but if it's not we can never have it, no matter how we try. You don't have full control, you only have part of it, but you can always do what you love. That is life.***
**Thanks fellas**

CDs Sensitisation
In case you are not aware, I am a serving corp member in Jalingo Taraba state. Although, excuse me for saying this_ Jalingo is not as cool as I expected it will be but I tolerate the weather. I love the beautiful nature around, the hills and mountains give me a tireless view. I love the neat environment and the low population, the low commercial transport fare probably because the town is not that big but everything else costs higher than it costs in my own home town, so I can say I love it and I'm managing.
Okay let me skip to the main topic of discussion which is about my Community Development Services (CDS).
The community development service group was created to give corpers a bridge to providing development services to the community they are serving in. I belong to the Financial Inclusion Community Development Service Group.
Financial Inclusion helps in Sensitising and educating people in the community those who have poor knowledge on Finance and anything regarding money management. Financial Inclusion as described by it's motto helps in eradicating financial illiteracy especially among local communities.
We educate them about on how they can best save their own money for the future and how they can invest their money in businesses that will fetch them good profit. We teach small businesses how they can prepare and keep records of their financial accounts or financial records and make them see why it is very important for a business have such records and the how and why they should be well kept.
Now in our last CDs group Sensitisation, we took a journey to Sangere local area, though the journey was bit long but it was a great fun. We took Keke(Tricycles) to drop us at our location. We had some beef with the Keke drivers about the transport fare as the demand a higher fare than we calculated but later we realized it us at fault since we didn't discuss the fare before we board the keke. It was hilarious. Hahaha...God Bless the NYSC.
The Sensitisation took place last Wednesday at a local public School in Sangere where we meet so many wonderful and bright students who I can they really impressed me more than I expected. And we learned alot together on the topic SAVINGS. The students have been encouraging and communicative and they have contributed alot.
At first I was shy to give full concentration to the activity but later on I got dragged in with emotions. They are such wonderful students and I am glad I was there. We only got to engage the higher secondary school classes One, Two and Three of Science, Art and Commercial classes. It was a wonderful experience and I look forward to the next Community Development Service.
***Greatings to all my readers, my subscribers, my likers, my upvoters and honorable sponsors. You have all been a great support and motivation to me through out this time. I am always greatful for being here always.***

You reap what you sow
You reap what you sow
They say you reap what you sow
What you do to others will be done to you
You reap what you sow
Is not just a proverb but more like a prophesy
You reap what you sow
You don't always see it coming
Stab a friend in the back
You reap what you sow
Leave a friend in the dark
You reap what you sow
Save a life today
You reap what you sow
Take a life unjustly
You reap what you sow
You Live patiently, your own hand wrote your destiny
You reap what you sow
Make someone sad and someone happy
You reap what you sow
Respect or disrespect the elderly
You reap what you sow
Pity the weak or oppress them
You reap what you sow
Be good or be bad
You reap what you sow.
Cater for the needy
Or be a their bully
You reap what you sow.
Love or hate,
You reap what you sow
*Life is a circle, I think that is why we have a Monday, a Tuesday, a Wednesday, a Thursday, a Friday and a Saturday and a Sunday on repeat.Is why the Clock goes in circles, why the earth is spherical. Like what whatever you do in this life comes right back to bite you, the good and the bad. Your fate ten, twenty or thirty years from now depends on the actions you are making today. Whether what you commit is good or bad you will see it as you planted it today, because our actions are like planted tree or seed. Just like how a noble farmer will not plant Beans today and expect to cultivate rice tomorrow neither will he plant rice today and expect to cultivate beans tomorrow. No, that is impossible because you only reap what you sow.*
*So if you're to commit a good or a bad deed today then rest assured you're gonna reap another of such deed in the future. People carry out their daily lives without watching out for the consequences of their actions.*
*So try to be on the lookouts for yourself. Do more good than bad, try and make people close to you happy and even the ones you just mate. Create a good legacy for the future you and be a blessing to your future self by being a person of integrity today. Be ethical and refrain from inappropriate behaviors.*
Be innocent like a child
See wrong as wrong
Know doing wrong is not right
No wrong is ever right
And right is right
What feels normal isn't always right
Sometimes the wrong feels so right
Nothing can beat the light
from the moon and the sun
The world has turned pure dark no lights
Some folks live life in a bright light
But hearts so dark darker than the night
Heart filled with hatred will always be in the dark
Hunted by the shadows in the dark only the lucky ones can fight out
Stay out, fight the shadows and remain in the light.
**Thank you fellas**
**May 28, 2022.**
**Although a bit late but better late than never. So I say Happy children's day fellas.**
**Special Greetings**
**To my able sponsors who never disappoint, always reaching out and giving a hand** @Talecharm @Tomi-Ajax @remona **Thank you for your support, thank you for your motivational and thank you for your sponsorships. You always make a huge impact. Much love.**
It is a lovely day fellas. Today I want to extend my gratitude and good wishes to my loving and relentless sponsors @Talecharm and @Tomi-Ajax for their generous sponsorship renewals. Thank you fellas, you are my motivators. I wish you all well, God bless.
Things That Make me Happy.
**Good day ladies and gentlemen.**
Came across an article some days ago here on read cash. The articles was a topic from a writing challenge menu I also wanted to join but unfortunately I wasn't able too, been too busy these days. Now since I don't get enough to sit an think on developing a good topic on my own I guess I should put this menu into use. And because some of the topics require long time to pounder and write on, I will randomly be selecting a topic whenever I am free and write on.
So today I feel like writing something about what makes me happy. I always like being happy.
**What are the things that make me happy.**
**1. Food**
Not just any kind of food, but a nice and well prepared yummy recipe. Because I love food, I am a foodie. Whatever happens I make sure I eat. Nothing ever make me loose appetite even sickness. Because I am hungry it makes me wanna go crazy. And beside I am useless when I am hungry, hahahah.
**2. Workouts**
After I finish eating I always yearn for a good body workout with or without equipments. It makes me feel healthy and agile which makes me very happy. Plus workouts makes your body feel refreshed. And I love to at myself in the mirror and see that sexy physique.
**3. Sleep**
Sleep, Sleep, Sleep. I love to lie down and sleep for hours and hours, it is the best action I love. Whenever I miss my sleeping time then there's a problem. I sleep in the morning, in the middle of the day and in the night. It makes me more healthy and gives me sharp mind.
**4. Watching Movies**
I love to sit back and watch my favourite movies when I am not sleeping. Watching movies gives me the best entertainment and I am more happier at that moment. And my best favourite movies are Horrors of any kind, adventures, action movies and Romantic love stories.
**5. Bank alert.**
Yeah I love to see that incoming bank alert in my phone, the joy I get from that is endless. And who doesn't love money anyway. Especially in the condition am in I you want make me happy just send me some cash or even some Bitcoin cash will do.
**6. Seeing other people happy.**
There is some magic in seeing people happy all the time. There smile and happiness just automatically infects me and I feel some coolness in my heart. And on the other hand there sadness also infects me. When I see people in a bad mood, in pain or sad, then my own mood is ruined because I will be sad, in pain and unhappy as well.
There you gou I just most of the things that make me happy everything single day, there are more these are as much as I can spill now. May be till next time again.
**Thanks fellas**
**Have a blissful day.**

Poem: Let her go or tell her
*Let her go or tell her*
*It's been seven years since we've been together*
*I thought my life would be better*
*Upto the day that I will finally meet her*
*And look into her beautiful sexy eyes and tell her that I love her*
*That she has always been in my heart since the first day that I found her*
*And then I will tell her that I want to live my life only with her*
*And all my sacrifices will be for her*
*And I will make sure I keep her happy, there's no one I will favour over her*
*I have been waiting for a moment with her for like forever*
*And today's makes it a dream come true, the best day ever*
*I have been meaning to tell her how I feel about her*
*But my poor financial position and distance between us made me loose my liver*
*Not because I'm afraid she might say no but if she says yes, how can I take care of her*
*So I waited and endured all the pain for the day that I might get stronger*
*And harder I tried every day to be a better version of me and stand on my own feet*
*But i couldn't, Couldn't get a job, Couldn't start a business*
*And now she has found someone who loves her*
*Someone who told her*
*When I wouldn't*
*Someone who fend for her*
*When I couldn't*
*Someone who reached for her and convinced her*
*When I Couldn't even express my feeling to her*
*She has found someone who is ready and desperate for her*
*Someone who is prepared to marry her*
*And soon they will be married and our friendship will be over*
*While I am here, head all banged up with unsolved thoughts*
*Debating in my head to let her go or her that I love her*
*That she has always been in my heart ever since the first day that I found her*
*That I want to live my life only with her*
*And she is the only one that caught me heart*
*And all my sacrifices will be for her*
*And there's no one I will ever, ever favour over her*
*And I have been waiting for a moment with her for like forever*
*To finally hold her hands and say yes I have made it*
*And today's makes it a dream come true, the best day in my life, ever.*
*I have been meaning to tell her how I feel about her*
*I will tell her that is the most wonderful, sweetest, intelligent, kind, friendly and beautiful girl I ever met*
*But it is not as I anticipated*
*I love her*
*Should I tell her*
*Or let her go.*

A Bad day for me
**An unfortunate day for me today has been total rough and hard day for me. And I will tell you what happened.**
`But first have peep into these wonderful talented people. They are amazing`
So I woke up in the morning, done my morning prayers and just sat back with my phone surfing online from watsapp to YouTube and its like. Usually I used to feel week in the morning and always in need of more sleep but this morning I woke up feeling so energetic.
I got tired with my phone and then I decide to take care of some work because my body was thirsty for some stress. So I got up and decided to do the laundry, the whole of it, and there was a junk of it. Poor me! I should have just did some workouts and went back to sleep but no, I actually went ahead with it.
So I washed my whole laundry and everything that need washing even my shoes and hats. One could say I was under the influence of a hard drug. After I finish the laundry then I decided to wash the toilets but it wasn't hard, but I hate washing toilets.
After washing toilets I made up my mind to do some cleaning in my cleaning which I did. I cleaned and mopped the floors. All of that work but there was no sign of fatigue with me. Like what the hell!? What did I eat before bed last night?
So after all that work I took my bath and ate my breakfast after which I should have went to bed but the foolish me remembered I had to do some shopping. So I got set for the market made some list to carry along. I got a tricycle to drop me at the market and he did. I did my business, bought everything on the list and head back home.Now this is where shits went crazy.
As I reached I put both my hands in my pocket to bring my phones. I brought out my Android phone but shockingly I couldn't find my other phone. This is not happening, I said to myself. I am so confused even right now. I went back outside to see if I could find it close by but it is gone.
And i am so frustrated right now, I love that phone and the sim card inside is my oldest sim and I can't even begin to tell narrate how much it means to me. Because hurts and cuts deeper than all the breaks up I have had. I need to at least recover the my sim card now but I am not if I know where the sim pack is. What a bad day.
But I guess everything happens for a reason and I'm sure it is a good one. And what is once lost is not lost forever, something better will surely replace it except if it was never lost. To God I pray.
**Thank you read.cash stars.**

Grateful Day: New month and Eid.
It is a new month, actually two new months; second day of May and first day of Muharram in the Islamic calenders. I have been aiming and aiming to write something about the new month of May but I was too busy and the little free time I got, I used it to chill, relax and recover my energy, but after recovering my energy I dosed off. How funny is that.
Yesterday was a disappointing and annoying day for me, not because it was Sunday and of course Sundays remind me that Monday is close which turns my mood off basically all the time. No that is not the reason. But it was because I wanted Eid Al fitr to be Tomorrow, but unfortunately we had to fast which is okay. But I just don't feel happy when I expected something to happen and it didn't.
`Best of all wishes to my sponsors`
And Today we woke up to a new day, new month and a gigantic celebration that billions of people around the entire world are celebrating thesame day, Eid Al fitr. Mind you there is no multiple meet supply and eating this Eid, no. So don't ask me for meat. That has to wait till the next Eid. But this Eid no meat, just some delicious dishes. And I planned which I have already put into motion to eat everything that comes my way. Because it is time to eat and I Will eat to my fill but not too excessive, that is bad.
Although Eid celebration is always grand and although I don't always do much or too excited during Eid but I will say that all my previous Eids have been memorable and sweet. But this Eid however feels quite different and silent and lifeless as the one I used to have. Fir the first time in my life Eid feels different, looks different and extremely sounds different. And it is sad, I felt pitiful. If you still haven't guessed yet, is definitely because this is my first Eid away from home.
I already visualized that I would not enjoy this Eid where I am but yet I chose to stay. I thought I could handle it. I thought I could be a man about it. But now I know I was terribly wrong, because I am not handling anything here. It's a strange place, I don't know places and I don't know where to go to for fun. Oh I miss home, my home. I miss my friend, my family and everyone. I miss all the fun and noises and disturbance. I am sure people at home are having the fun of their lives without me. Awesome.
So with all the disappointment and everything, though people here are also nice and a bit fun. I appreciate them all. I want to extend my love and greating to all people around and wish everyone one Eid Mubarak and an unlimited happy new days and celebrations. May the almighty guide us all and forgive us our shortcomings. Ameen
**Happy new month.**
**Happy sallah.**
**Eid Mubarak.**
**Peace.**

Far from home
When life starts to change, everything moves with it. You in particular, as a person, have no control over the change that occur around you and within your own body. The changes within our body begins without our notice and we only realize it when the change becomes considerate.
Sometimes our body change on its own but sometimes it is caused by some external factors. These factors, controlled or not, have a considerable impact on us. At times we want to control these factors but it is not the best way to handle them. When change comes or when you're in a situation or place that requires you to change, the best option is to accept the changes and take flow with them.
Some people have been in one place, doing thesame thing for over twenty to thirty years with zero change to it. These people find it hard to change what they are used to. They will always have a high resistance to change no matter how positive that change may be.
`God bless all my honorable sponsors.`
I am someone who at a young childhood age, hates leaving home. I never liked going to other people's houses not to talk of leaving for another state. Even when my mom wants to visit her family in Kaduna or Katsina, I never cared to go along. I always prefer to stay home even if I have to be alone. A huge introvert I was, ohh I still am. But not that bad now.
Today I'm living in a place that is between 12-13 hours ride from home. And I am still alive. The people here are not that completely different from my home but they are different in mindset, knowledge and way of live a little bit. And yes there's language. They sometimes speak a tongue that I do not understand which I'm still trying to learn. And I will.
The one thing I can say about myself is I love a challenge and I always welcome a big challenge, anything that will take me out of my shell or make me face my worse fears. Yes I am Open. And being Open minded in this era is very important. Being open to new things, new changes, new environment and being Open to new knowledge or education.
When you're open minded you won't lack good ideas in your head that might help you solve a problem and people's problem because you are someone who is open to new ideas. **Never disregard knowledge, no matter how little it is. Every knowledge is important and has great power somewhere. As they say “knowledge is power”. And that is no lie**
And know that life is meant to change no matter how sweet or difficult it is, it will change someday.
**#Ramadan Kareem and Eid Mubarak in advance.**

Gratitude Friday
Today is Friday and I am super excited because I always love Fridays and I can guess most of you do love Fridays as well, I mean is the begining of end of the week and that is what gets me. I am not only happy for Fridays because they are Fridays but because Fridays marks the end of a week's struggle, five days of the week. And it is also the beginning of some free days (Saturdays and Sundays) oh yeah! That is why I love Fridays because they calm me down and remind me that a break is coming. And who doesn't love a refreshing break. So Fridays are best days if the week because they remind me of my super duper best days of the week.
I love weekends but as Fridays get me excited sometimes Sundays turn me off especially when the day runs out. Why? Who can guess?
Well...let me save you the trouble. Sundays turn me off because when they're about to run out all I can think of is that tomorrow is freaking MONDAY! I hate Mondays, I remember those days when Mondays use to make me cry. Yeah, those were my cry baby days. I go to bed every Sundays with cloudy sad face, disturbed mind and weak heart because tomorrow is MONDAY keeps singing in my head.
Oh I hate Mondays with an undeniable passion. And I am sure almost every person in the world can relate. Mondays are the busiest days of the weak. I mean is the only day in the week which you start preparing for since Friday. Especially during school days and work days Mondays are the worse days of the week. I have never met anyone who love Mondays.
Oh! What am I rambling about, this article is supposed to be about Fridays, Friday gratitude. So today's I want to thank God Almighty for keeping me alive to this day and for all his blessings. Alhamdulillah.
I also want to thank all my subscribers, upvoters, viewers and likers for sacrificing and giving me their time to support my work. I pray to the Almighty to send to you his bountiful blessings.
A huge and special gratitude to my sponsors @Talecharm @FarmGirl @remona @Tomi-Ajax for their warm gestures. Your sponsorship has been a great support and motivation for me. It is what motivates me to keep writing and publishing. Thank you brothers and sisters.
And this Friday today's marks the last Friday in this month of Ramadan and knowing that after this Friday Eid is just around the corner makes me so filled with joy, happiness and plenty expectations. I hope we all have a wonderful, happy holiday and Eid celebration. May the Almighty continue to keep us blessed and guided.
**Ramadan Kareem and Eid Mubarak in advance.**
**Thanks you fellas. Have a splendid weekend.**
Poem: Supportive and Devoted Lover.
*Such Supportive Devoted Lover.*
*She said she was meant to be mine and I for her.*
*See said it so confidently and romantically I couldn't oppose her.*
*She said her love for me is eternal and I am all she could ever love.*
*That she can't imagine being with anyone other than me, I am her only dove.*
*Her words, devotion and loyalty to me is fueled by so much hope in me.*
*that I wonder who or what gave her that much of assurance in me.*
*I am sad, wrecked, hopeless and highly inflammable.*
*Girl, don't you know I can make you beyond sad everytime we have a squabble.*
*Girl I am a boy so wrecked and believe me I am unamendable.*
*My wrecked heart will drown your beautiful innocent and kind heart to the bottom.*
*So beware baby girl for what you are asking for in me is not easy come.*
*There is absolutely no hope of the love and happiness you think exist in this hopeless boy.*
*So listen to me baby girl for your sake stay away.*
*and throw away all the hope you have for me because I do not want to toy with with your joy.*
*Because I am nothing but a lonely toy.*
*She said I can't leave you or get angry with you because I can feel it in my heart baby that you are special.*
*And I have seen the way you live your life.*
*You are kind, soft hearted, intelligent and caring baby my love for you is unconditional.*
*And nothing no matter how big can change how I feel about you because my love is eternal.*
*She calls my phone five times a day.*
*Texts me three times a day.*
*Make my every day feels like a super special day.*
*Everyday she gives me new smile that makes my everyday a unique day.*
*And everyday that goes by is she that keeps coming up in my mind.*
*Her face keeps popping up every time I close my eyes.*
`Give your love to my supporters and sponsors on read.cash`
*We have become so close that our hearts and minds are now binded.*
*Binded and bounded together we have become each others forever.*
*Now new hope is shining its light on my saddened heart and washing out the stain like a river.*
*She makes my heart so light when she said to her I am more than a partner or a lover.*
*I am her husband, brother, partner, lover and a father.*
*See, she lost her dad long ago and in my image she see her dad.*
*Now I feel like she is putting to much hope and too much responsibility in me it sometimes make me feel bad.*
*But for her, I will do anything.*
*Just to give her the assurance that she is my everything.*
*She has captured my heart and she is mending it for me.*
*She is my everything.*
*Because I know she'd do anything for me.*
*She said please baby give me the opportunity to take care of you.*
*And I will do anything and everything for you.*
*And now I can allow my heart do all the little things.*
**The biggest motivation we can have is having someone at our corner to cheer us even if we know we suck. We need someone grab our shoulders and lift us up and tell us we are enough and we can do anything. A trusted and supportive partner is what every one deserves. Those people that love us when we're feeling dejected are the true ones and we must never lose them. They are our everything, our life supporters.**

Why Keep Planning
**Do I have a Plan, do you have a plan? What is your plan? What are you planning? What do you have in mind? Whats,whats,whats! I'm so tired of these questions. And people always love to ask these pointless questions.**
I know they said ***“he who doesn't plan, plans to fail” and “to achieve a goal one needs a good plan or one needs to plan”.*** Yes that may be true, we all need to plan achieve our goals especially the difficult ones. And planning makes a little more easier to accomplish whatever we set before us. I agree with all of that.
I agree with all of that until I begin to have doubts. Doubts about the world, doubts about success,doubts about certainty and doubt that we have any control about the situations of this world. Well, I guess most people will believe they have some control and may be they do. **But most of us only get what is leftover for us and we stretch our arms and palms put open together and accept it with a big nice smile on our face.**
`Meet my gallant sponsors, more Bitcoin cash to your wallets dear ones.. I'm always greatful.`
**Plan were created to help us achieve an aimed objective, they were never ment to fail. And I think the inventors of strategic planning did not invent it so it could fail. Planing is the act of creating and organizing strategically the means to achieve a stated goal or objective.** This definition use to make me believe that it can be applied anywhere but I was wrong. You see not everybody's plan is meant to succeed, especially in this era where descrimination has become a norm. This is an era where you need someone who has connection with someone powerful to help fertilize your plans.
**The only thing most of us can do these days is to make God our friend and prayer our hobby for us to get our wish fulfilled.** And we have to be very patient and hopeful while we do it because **God loves the patient a**nd only helps his servant who trust fully in him. And then with great miracle and love from the Almighty out prayers will be answered and our wish fulfilled. That is why most of love the phrase **“IN GOD WE TRUST”** because only God can help us in this era, in this current situation of the world.
**What is the use of having a plan when all your plans get quashed by people who act like gods and the world is created for only them.** And they think they know what's better for you. Those that feel there is need for the world to have more poor and helpless people and fewer rich and wealthy people because as they say, it is the balance that the world needs. Shameless.
You make a plan today, a plan you are hoping to realize in the coming year or six months may be only for you to wake next morning and realize that some selfish clown has made your plan impossible to achieve. What would you do? What can you do? shake the heart break and make a new plan? Will that be so easy. We are in God's hands. Sadly.
In management I was thought to always have a contingency plan. **A contingency plan is a plan that you formulate Incase your main plan should fail due to some unforseen circumstances. Well, it is good strategy because it is good to have a plan B or even better a plan C.** But what if they all fail? Tragic, that will be. **Apart from plans failing people die before they are able to achieve their goals. I mean in the current atmosphere this world is in, death is always around the corner due to unfavorable factors such as insecurity, new viruses and pandemics being born every year, poverty and hunger, pressure, tension and depression.** all these are mostly created as a consequences of the actions and plans of some people.
I see people that plan for a future today only to die in the next day while some achieve their goals but won't be alive long enough to enjoy it. So what is the use of all the plans, ***why do we keep planning without certainty of success? People need to change and wish for others what we wish for ourselves. May God help us.***

The Magic Of Togetherness.
**There is this feeling that I can't seem to explain. It is refreshing, breath taking energizing, arousing feeling of extreme love of feeling of joy, care and connectivity. It is so beautiful that it gives me this unlimited connection of the world and the people around.**
This feeling only comes when I'm with family, new family or those that we just recently get acquainted with and even those that we have not met for a very long time. And when we are finally together, damn! One cannot explain accurately the connection felt and the joyous moment of love that is shared between these families. Oh! it is unmeasurable.
***I am an extreme introvert, and if measured statistically I would say I'm about 90% introverted, leaving the 10% extroverted.***
I sometimes long to be in the midst of people, family and friends. But I'm always able to enjoy sitting with the ones I'm comfortable with regardless of whether they are family or friends. But when I do stay among them I hardly get disappointed and I Sometimes miss the moments and fun that was shared. But I don't always like to show it. Because if you know a real introvert you'll know that we do not always get excited as others.
`I am always greatful for having this family with me here on read.cash. always greatful to them`
Today I'm among my family, at my uncle's house with my cousins and his two wife's whom I have no childhood history with, even if I had I can't remember. I have been here for more than a week and I'm still learning to be comfortable and connect with them. But of course as the shy and introverted person that I am, I know it's gonna take some time, it always take lots of time for me to come around and feel as a unit with strangers even if they are family, lol. pathetic, right?.
However, they are such nice people and surprisingly yesterday I sat with them (whole family) in the parlor and we had some family time. All chatting and laughing while I was just sitting there saying nothing just staring and laughing at their funny jokes. Even though i was just sitting there like I'm not part of the room I payed attention to them while I was paying part of my attention to my phone, yet I enjoyed that moment and it made me feel like I belong and I feel connected.
It is so beautiful and exciting that it is giving me this feeling of regret of why we didn't meet earlier, like how come we didn't know each other before, like since when we were young, why didn't our parents bring us together sooner. It is annoying and frustrating if I feel this way. I get this kind of feeling anytime I meet my part of family I am not so familiar with and it is sad. But I guess it is not too late. We can be family now, and I love them.
Being an introvert has really took a big toll on me. Considering my withdrawal from certain types of people and family. Shyness and not wanting to socialize with friends and families. Sometimes people say I don't like them but is not true. I just hate the crowd sometimes and the noice they create, hate the crisis and troubles that people always cause and I just love having myself alone in a quite room. It gives me this calm energy that allow me to think alot about my personal life and my future plan. That has always been my problem. And I lost some friends because of it and even closely related families.
**But is it who I am. And I guess i can't change but I will always try to be the best version of myself and make people close to me happily ever after. This is me.**
**Thanks fellas.**

I Just Love Her.
**I Just love her. Have you ever fought or disagree against something that you despise so passionately only to one day wound up in the same situation you so ardently fight other people against. And this time around when it your turn you realize it wasn't those people's fault and may be they had no control over it.**
Does it ring any bells or are you still doubting? Come on I can't be the only one who has experienced such scenarios before. I mean every can be a victim of his own laws, right. Alright may be I am just whining for nothing.
But the deal is I am in love with my student! Ooops! There it goes I just spilled it. And yes she is my student. Well she WAS my student considering that I have quit working with the school. I guess being in love with a former student is not that bad a taboo, or is it? Because I am not sure but at least I hope that is enough to cool the heads of those who would hate the idea.
**How did it start?**
I have no idea. I guess plenty love stories will give same direct answer. And if you are still asking me I will tell you that at the first day she joined my class, the first day I saw her, I thought to myself “what a pretty lady that is” and of course she a very beautiful lady and that is all I thought, nothing else nothing more. And since then I swear she was only my student nothing of such foolish feelings existed. Shit! Why am I even swearing??😂😂 This is awkward.
No feelings existed until when my retirement from the school started and I was bidding my students farewell which most of the students were not happy with but her concern was extra. Dang! dang! dang! And that is when the unthinkable begin to happen😜.
My students asked for my contacts so they can reach me anytime because they are definitely going to miss there sweet teacher. Which I did gave them, first mistake🤪. Everyday is either a call from her or a text, an emotional, loving text saying how much I was missed and how special I am. Yeah she flirts and flatter me alot. Even though we are far away from each other. A long distance relationship with my ex student.
I mean I am a guy I know what a girl wants with just a little jesture from her face or body. I knew where this girl is going with it but I just wanted to confirm it I guess or may be I was just having fun. And of course I was not going to turn down a beautiful lady like her. No way, not any how, a part of me didn't want to hurt her feelings. So I kinda..... Playyyyed alongggg🙈🙈. Is that a bad thing? Well don't judge me if you've never fallen in thesame pit before just as me.
Well... to cut a long story short I eventually came to develop a tiny teeny bit of emotions towards the girl. I had no choice, she is nice, innocent, sweet, gentle and very good girl. And she is a very good caring lover and I love her more than I ever imagined. And anytime I look back at the past I laugh at myself and our relationship. I used to be against teachers falling in love with their students, I see it as a foolish and immatured idea. And here we are.
Alright enough of it, that is all I am gonna about my new relationship and new love. Is our relationship wrong 😕👎or alright😁👍.

Lazy me, it's Ramadan!
Three to four weeks in camp and far away from home have made me so freaking lazy and is so disappointing. I am disappointed in myself for my laziness, sometimes. sometimes I laugh at myself and sometimes I just don't give a damn. I enjoy my free time to eat, watch movies, chat a bit with friends and loved ones and sleep alot.
It seems like I went to a three weeks camping to be rehabilitated into an absolute useless dormant. Hahaha I laugh at my lazy self. I mean I only was able to publish two articles while I was in camp and after I left camp I was able to write twice more, in the first week after camp and then nothing until now. Pathetic.
`My all time kind sponsors, God will always bless you.`
And what's funny is how I have started writing on some topics couple of days ago and just dumped them with the hope in my mind that I will continue writing them later when I have more ideas but sadly those new ideas never come and I didn't get to go back to them.
I mean I love writing alot but I must admit my likeness for watching movies more often conflict with my love for writing and there was a time that playing video games conflict with watching movies. Bottom line, I miss all of you nice fellas, I miss writing and I miss read.cash and it is a great unmeasurable to finally be back with you once again. Hell yeah!
And I must break it to you that I am super excited today because hey! today is the first day of Ramadan and I wish everyone a great, happy, rewardful and peaceful unlimited ibadah through out the holy month. I have a feeling that this month is going to awesome and lots of wins and joy.
Ramadan is a month in the Islamic calenders in which Muslims observe in good faith abstinence from immoral acts and sins and observe all ibadah(worship) and good acts towards all other people in other to be cleansed of ones sins and personally a cleansed heart. Being good is not just for this month it is expect that one continue to be so even after and upto the next Ramadan.
In this month many who have been at one time before the month being bad and sinners become entirely different people and try their best everyday to be good and to please their Creator. They compete with each other to perform good acts for Allah's mercy and blessings and so they may be forgiven for their shortcomings.
Ramadan is a month of change, a chance to change oneself because it gives one the chance to change and be a better person that he was yesterday. It is a month of Peace, kindness, Forgiveness, Mercy, a month of friendship and worship. It is the most blessed month of all.
So to all those observing this month I hope you perform your Ramadan with all your best affordable effort and fully do your duty to Allah and take advantage and seek for his forgiveness and mercy. Because this is the month in which to prayer goes unanswered.
I to pray to Allah almighty to guide us to the right path during and through out this month and help us perform our ibadah in peace, joy and love, protect us from evil acts and evil beings and forgive our mistakes and shortcomings and make us pious and be among the cleansed ones by his strength and mercy. May he enable us to do just and do good with generousity to others in utmost good faith. May we by his grace be among the chosen, Amin.
**Ramadan Mubarak.**
**Thanks fellas.**

Kindness Is Always There For The Kind
***Kindness is an act of being friendly, generous,compassionate and honest.***
Times have changed and it seem like majority of people around the world are neglecting the act of kindness. Some see kindness as a sign of weekness, some a waste, some give kindness only for an expected return, while some are afraid to offer it as they are clouded by distrust.
Whatever the case however, being kind is something that miraculously goes dual ways like a two way street leading to thesame destination, as it goes off on one hand, it comes back on the other.
Many are afraid to be kind to others with the belief in the mindset that they are the only ones helping, they are the only ones giving or losing something. Little did they know that as they are giving they are also gaining back greater portion of what they have given and it may not come to them quick enough but sooner or later they will reap what they sow. ***I mean you can't plant a seed today and expect it to grow and bear fruits in the minute. It takes time and processes and those processes will take more minutes, hours, days, weeks and months and years but as long as you have faith those seeds will becomes trees and they will eventually bear fruits.***
So that is how kindness works. Be kind today and it will come back to you sooner or later no matter how long it takes because that is God's promise to those who are kind. A kind heart will always be a happy heart.
And who says there are no more kind people left in the world. I have seen a kind Samaritan, a total stranger who was passing by a private school and found twelve students at the gate on school fees drive, when he asked and they told him why they are outside he went inside the school, met the cashier and he paid total fees of all the twelve students. I will never forget about that man because I was one of those twelve students and he really shocked me and indeed everyone around.
What that man did and the reward he got, only Gid knows. But I pray that he always get greater kindness that he has shown that day. For him may be it was nothing but for us and our parents that day, he was a savior. I was in my SS2 that time and I will never forget him. His kindness had open a soft spot in me and I want to be just like him. God bless him.
That thought me that I don't need to have a reason to be kind, I don't have to know someone to be kind, i must always know what is needed and be kind to whoever it is that I come across anytime anywhere. As long as I can afford it.
`Meet my super sponsors. Follow them and witness there beauty.`
I have also met a young boy, not more than thirteen (13) years old who was the most compassionate young boy I have ever met. I was about to go inside a bank I was denied entry because I don't have a facemask on and unfortunately I didn't have any cash with me, this boy was standing in front of the bank selling facemasks, he offered to sell his facemask to be but I told me that I have no cash and he said take, this one is free. I stood there for a long silent moment looking at that poor boy thinking of all the possible ways how my poor self can repay his kindness. His name is Waleed.
To be continued... Follow me and I'll tell you about all the good people I have met in my life.
**Conclusion.**
You should know that while you are being kind to others, you are also being kind to yourself because before you get rewarded you become happy.
**Thanks fellas.**

Life
Have you ever asked yourself what gives life more meaning or what gives it purpose or how do we enjoy life to its fullest? I guess most of us have asked this questions several times but I'm sure mostly few have the right answer.
`Say hi to my awesome sponsors.`
The Oxford dictionary defines life as "the condition that distinguishes animals and plants from inorganic matter, including the capacity for growth, reproduction, functional activity, and continual change preceding death."
Having define defines the word let's now understand the meaning of the key terms; Growth, reproduction, Functional activity, Continual change and death.
**Growth.**
Every living in his life time must under go physical growth. Plants and animals undergo physical growth as they grow in size and shape. But that is not what growth is all about especially in the case of human beings. As human beings growth is not just about changing shape, increased height and weight and growing muscles. But growth can also be. Intangible, like the growth of the mind, growth in knowledge and intelligence, growth spiritually and mentally.
An average humans mind, knowledge, intelligence and spirit ought to grow along with his body growth or vice versa.
**Reproduction**.
The art of reproducing a life means re-producing a new life, giving birth to new born a new offspring of an existing specie. Human beings must not only produce new babies but reproduce new project, new forms, and new ways for development and growth. Like the creation of special amenities, production of food supplies, production of shelter, invention reproduction of machines etcetera.
**Functional Activity.**
Living things respond to stimulus and are locomotives especially human beings, which enable them to engage in fuctional activities like social and physical interaction with one another. These activities may include walking, running, jumping, mating, and traveling. In case of some animals even Labour.
**Continual Change and death.**
Right from birth living things begin the process of change irreversibly. Change is something that is inevitable and hard to accurately predict at most times. Whether prepared for or not, it must happen. But people must strive to change themselves through discipline; mentally and spiritually to the day they release their last breath.
Now back to the main topic of discussion, how to we enjoy the sweetness of life. How do we give our life a purposeful meaning.
**1. Love.**
To enjoy the beauty of life we must be willing to spread love around and be willing to receive it. Love is the cure to the evil darkness of man, when you love you cure yourself of that evil darkness. And makes you see the beauty in this natural world.
**2. Kindness.**
You must show kindnes to the people around you. Make everyone you come across happier than they are before they mate you. Be kind not just with money but with care, selflessness, humility and sharing knowledge. The biggest success in life is defined by how many people you've blessed. Success only comes through people and amount of kindness you have shown. The kinder you are to people the more love you get and the more love you get the more happier you are.
**3. Have something to do**
Get a job, start a business but never stay idle. Like it is said "idleness is the devil's workshop". When you are idle that is when you become vulnerable to useless thoughts that are mostly of no benefit to you. But engaging in one or two activities help you develop yourself and grow. Give and spend your time in doing something productive.
**4.Travel.**
There are two ways to amass a great volume of knowledge; school and Traveling. In school you are thought to imagine possibilities but when you travel you experience live what you're thought and things you are not even thought in class.
Traveling broadens the mind, increases your knowledge and intelligence and show you that there are many different dimensions in this world, different ways of life that you have never experienced. It opens up the door for you to meet new nice people, with new cultures and traditions different from the ones you are familiar with. Traveling make you see that the world is bigger and there are alot more meaning to the world than you already know.
Traveling opens your eyes to see the many aesthetics of the natural world and helps you appreciate where you came from, other people's culture and also appreciate who you are. It shows you how amazing life is and how Sweet life can be if you explour it.

A Glorious Day.
For a long long time in the past twenty one days, I have never been so excited waking up in the morning and feeling so energetic and enthusiastic and so overwhelmed with joy and longing for freedom and liberation.
For the first time in twenty one days I woke up in the morning without hearing the sound of a whistle penetration my head into my to disturb the peace in myind and sleep. It felt weird like something have changed. Lo things are about to change cause today is the best day of my life in the exhausted twenty one days I spent in camp.
`Allow me to introduce to you my dearest sponsors. I am always indebted to them.`
I woke up full of energy and zeal knowing that I am finally going to leave the camp retiring to my home soon where people live like normal human beings, knowing that today is my liberation and the day that I will get my freedom to be a normal human being again.
Immediately everyone started packing his things and gathering his luggage. I saw my bunkmates already packing out their mattresses and pillows to return them to the warehouse before collecting their clearance, at least that is the first thing everyone in camp is suppose to do before the morning address by the Director General to all corp members before the passing out parade.
So i packed and returned mine as well which gave me the most sensational feeling that I have never had before. Following queues used to vex me but the queue while entering the warehouse made me happier than ever. Because all I felt is that, that is the queue to freedom and when you're in a queue to freedom there is only happiness and excitement in your mind.
I came back to the hostel and I finished packing my things and then went and take by bathe, like taking the last bathe in prison. Before 5:30 in the morning I am fully kitted and most of corp members are as well. We went to the OBS(Orientation broadcasting service) ground to listen to the director General's address.
After the address we all rushed to the parade ground for our passing out parade; the last activity in camp, what a Glorious day today. I have never been happier. I am finally going to out of this cage_ I said to myself. I am going to be free today. And I am sure that is what is going on in everyone's mind; the thought of freedom.
We formed up in the parade ground and we welcomed all officials and then proceeded with our parade. First a slow march parade then a quick march. And it was amazing. Everyone on parade was wearing 6/7; meaning all kits excepts one which is the jacket.
We concluded our parade and everyone was excited and jubilating, some are taking pictures while some are just happy, some have already reached the gates, but I don't blame them, I understood their eagerness to escape. hahahah it was a hell of experience being in camp.
I shot some pictures with some of my friends, we hugged and said our farewells and we all went on our ways to a place we have longed to be for a long time ( home). Camp is finally over and we are once again normal people, normal people who have once lived like soldiers or prisoners, actually I am not even sure which is the perfect reference. I waited for some minutes for my ride to arrived and I rode happily ever after. What a Glorious day and an exceptional experience we had.
**Thanks fellas.**

Surviving Camp.
The NYSC camp is a camp made for the training of tertiary school graduates called Corpers or corp members after they have been sworned in. The training given to corps members is a rigorous training closely similar to that of the Nigerian army.
In the NYSC camp we under go various activities in a single day. All meant to improve discipline, intelligence, strength, hard work and self awareness.
*My deepest gratitude t*@Talecharm*ice* @Talecharm *for renewing my sponsorship. Thanks alot dear friend.*
**Morning meditations.**
The first activity in every day is Mo rning meditations. Where all corp members will wake up to the sound of the trumpet at around 4:40am in the morning. All those praying will pray and afterwards joins others at the parade ground where corp members will do their meditations.
The platoons having presentation will present and then at exactly 6:00am The Nigerian flag will rise and afterwards all platoon commandant's and instructors will take command of their platoons and start the parade excercise which is meant to train corps members for the passing out parade competition between other platoons.
Then there's also the man o war martial arts groups, they sometimes wear a red head band to stand out of the rest of the corpers on field.
This excersises stops at around 8:00am or untill breakfast is ready to be served.
**Saed lectures.**
The second activity during the day is the saed lectures meaning Skills acquisition and entrepreneurship development. This lecture is the most stressful activity is the camp, disregarded by all corp members because that is when everyone is desperate to go to sleep. The saed lectures start at around 9:00am–2:00pm. Yeah it is such a long lecture.
The saed lectures is meant to enlighten and educate Corpers or youths on entrepreneurial activities and how they can be self employed and independent on government jobs which is hard to get and pays very little.
It educate youths on businesses lsuch as Agro Allied like; fishing, poultry, crop farming, animal feeds production and hatchery. And others like cosmetology, fashion design, electronics, repairs, ICT etcetera.
After the saed lectures corper lunch is then served and everyone goes back to his hostel until 4:00 pm.
`Meet my capacitated Sponsors. Follow them and you won't regret it.`
**Man 'O' war**
The man o war is rigorous drilling excersise meant to train corp members spiritual and physically. It meant to raise the moral of corp members and to enable them fight their fear and be brave. It includes long kilometers jogging, stepping on bars, rope swinging, tunnel crawling, fence crossing, wall climbing, Rope climbing walking and rope sliding. After this drilling excercise you will have full confidence in yourself or not.
**Evening Parade.**
Just like in the morning there is also an evening Parade at exactly 4:00pm. Corper first join up at the parade ground and then splits into platoons with platoons instructors for a solo parade excerise. Corp member will train until 6:00pm when the Nigerian flag comes down.
**OBS.**
The last activity during the day is the OBS (Orientation Broadcasting Services). This is where entertaining activities are provided such as drama, dancing, debates and stage performance. Platoons also compete in all of the mentioned activities. Majority pay a close attention to this program but most sit and lay at the back sleeping. The Orientation broadcasting service is the most loved and entertaining program in the camp.
While in camp one must adhere to all rules and regulations given and must always obey command from the soldiers and officials for a safe And clean orientation

Coming to Nysc camp
**I Slept around 9pm with the thought of excitement and a little sorry about the journey. The journey that I so desperately been waiting for. Now I am glad and grateful that I have finally got the chance to be a Corper and serve my nation.**
A long awaited, most anticipated and desperate journey that will soon turn out to be the most exhausting and undesiring one. We, some strange friends that mate online planned to start our journey to our call up destination where we will be observing our NYSC orientation program early in the morning at around 7:30am.
However on reaching the station where we're supposed to board in the bus, the funny thing happened. Everyone was at the station but however non of us was able to identify each other because like I said we mate online and we didn't properly introduce ourselves so we don't know each others face, hah! crazy.
*After all the hiccups and stress of making calls and going and roaming around the station, we finally were able to identify ourselves, seven of us actually.*
So we waited our for our bus to arrive and after it arrived we started loading our luggages and then hit the road at around 9:30am. We steadily began our journey to adamawa while I kept praying for a safe journey. The trip was okay and comfortable from Kano state to Jigawa state, but after Jigawa state our trip begins to turn into a stressful one. We entered Bauchi state which has good and stable roads but not as good as that of Jigawa and Kano.
**We entered Gombe state and behold the beginning of a cumbersome journey brought about by the worse roads in the country and what is worse is, that Gombe is such a big state with a vass land.** I never thought there's a state a Nigeria that will be bigger than kano in land mass. Gombe State, I got tired of driving in that state that I thought we were never going to get out of the state. But little do I know that Gombe is a paradise compared to the state we are about to enter.
We begin to experience the worstest part of our journey, closing the end of Gombe and entering into Adamawa state. How can you be driving on a street that is not supposed to take a twenty minutes ride but will take about an hour and thirty minutes rides going on a most lowest speed. It was tiring. Savanah, is what they call the area, dusty and extremely bad it gives us body pain.
**However Adamawa state has the most beautiful natural structure of land comprising of heals, rocks and valleys that I have never seen before. It is the most beautiful thing that I have ever seen. I am glad for having this chance, it almost seem unreal.**
It was a daring journey along Lafiya and savanah streets but it was worth it, the driver is very patient and skillful. We reached our camp at around 10:30pm after over 13 hours journey. We were all grateful that we arived safe and sound with no complications. Thanks be to the Almighty Lord for keeping us safe to the end of our trip. I pray that he still keep us safe on our way back.
The soldiers asked us to be in a long queue where they asked to to drop our bags and they begin to search our bags for illegal items, like sharp objects and harmful drugs. When they were all done, we proceed into the camp and made and queue where we're to submit our call up letters for screening. After we have submitted our call up letters they gave us mattresses and sent us to a big hall and told to sleep there temporaryfir the nest morning because it was late for any further screening.
**So we prayed, ate some biscuits and water, prayed and slept in the hall all exhausted and fatigued til the next morning. But It was a big relief reaching there safe.**
**Thank you fellas.**

*****It's been a while since I published an article. I Apologies for my inconsistency which is due to the limited time we have for ourselves here in the camp. I'm sad that I can't write everyday till after three weeks.*****

Life Lesson
It been a hard for me these days, trying to steal the time for myself and be myself, work for myself, have fun, take a nap and long refreshing rest. My busy schedule keeps getting tighter and tighter, with work activities and trying to get a hold on all information and requirements concerning my NYSC. And more other miscellaneous activities steal the only time I needed to rest and do something for my own pleasure. It has been a terrific week.
`Give a warm welcome to my dearest sponsors, such wonderful people they are in this amazing platform. I am always super greatful to them.`
For the pass two weeks however I have learned and experience new lessons about life and people. Something I always find interesting_ LEARNING. Learning new things from people whether good or disappointing ones, I find them super interesting. Because I love to learn new things about life and people. I guess that is why is still cherish schooling.
**The things I learn recently about people and life are as follows.**
**Never Depend on Anyone**
This is the first thing I learned. Never Depend anyone even if that person is the closest person to you. It is sometimes good to have someone around to lean on but don't lean on too much. Because when you get too comfortable, they will get tired of your burden and eventually they will slip away. So to avoid and save yourself from disappointment, Never depend on anyone. **Look for a way out yourself and stand firm on your feet.**
**Never Trust anyone**
Sometimes people smile and show love to you and show that they care about you, but most of those smiles are fake and they don't give a sh*t about. They are just smiling to deceive you into falling in their trap. And people will only become lenient with you when they hope to achieve something from you. **And when they're done using you, they will then discard you like a piece of trash. So I say it again never trust anyone. Do what is right for yourself.**
**Put Value on yourself**
People won't value if you are super soft and don't put Value on yourself. Learn to say no to people when what they are asking is not more their benefits more less beneficial to you. Is good to be selfless but these days people stomp on super nice people anyhow. So put Value in yourself. Know your worth and don't ever let anyone disrespect you no matter who the hell they are. **Nice people die with emotional pain these days. When you try to be nice get ready for all kind of trash to be thrown at your face.**
**Learn to work for yourself and be your own boss**
You try and find a handwork, or invest in business no matter how small. It is better than to go seeking for job from anyone. When you have your own business you are your own boss, no one is gonna puppet you around or look down on you. **You are not slave to anyone. So be your boss.**
***That is all my observation and experience fellas, some of you might disagree with me but it wont change my mind. Thank you read.cash stars. Have a nice evening.***
**That's all fellas.**

Love Out of Pity
**Hello guys, today I want to talk about** **love but not any king of love, i want to talk about pity. Are you familiar with that kindof pity for a stunning cute girl that slowly turns into an unforseen romantic love. Love that may or may not last long. Some are forever as I would to believe while some turn out to be a big disappointment.**
`Check out my capacitated Sponsors.`
***Here is a short poem I wrote, is not that good but I hope it gives the gist.***
*The first time I saw you I knew we couldn't be the perfect match💝*
*But your nice smile and display of care slowly gets me attached💞*
You seemed so brilliant and understanding so I thought what a catch💘
*But I ignored you, never paid attention to you.*
*Even though I know I have a big consuming crush on you.*
*I bury it deep in my heart, my mind forced my heart to never pay attention to you.*
*Without even realizing that one day we would be together.*
*It's hard to believe, but it all happened so fast it seemed like magic.*
*The first time we spoke I told myself you are a perfect pick.*
*I told myself that you must be a brilliant and intelligent chick .*
*The first time we spoke we connected so perfectly like our love is magnetic.*
*I also saw that we were both broken and toxic.💔*
*All I wanted was to get close to you and know you better.*
*For the very first time in my life I sent a woman a letter.*
*It is the first time i desperately wanted get closer to a woman and know her better.*
*You see I thought we were special, a match from heaven.💞*
*I knew you were trouble, but I looked into your eyes and I saw love.💗*
*I looked into your smiley face and I saw kindness.*
*I thought I saw kindness.💖*
*You opened up to me like a book and read yourself to me.*
*You shared all your dark secrets and sad secrets with me.*
*You opened up your private life to me making me see clearly all your dark flaws.*
*I swear I knew I should have left you long ago but I had my own flaws.*
*So I thought we can share our flaws but I didn't realize that your flaws had claws.*
*But I was stubborn to let them scare me away.*
*In you the most I see is a woman so dear.💖❣️💘💝*
*Never paid closer attention to the infectious flaws that were so clear.*
*May be is because a part of me find them a bit sexy.*
*So I thought as long as they don't evolve I can keep you steady.*
*You offered me the contract to your heart I signed and our love I begin to levy.*
*Even though I knew that our love life together is a beginning of a bad idea.*
*Time have passed and I was happy I found the one.*
*You have become the best friend I needed when needed one.*
*I said you're the one and you said I'm the man.*
*And then suddenly in a blink of an eye everything came crashing down.💔*
*We had a little fight and you turned our relationship upside down. 💔*
*You stopped listening to me and turned to your friends.💔*
*I was hurt I thought I should be your best friend.💔*
*But I was wrong💔 .*
*All this time you've been playing a tune and you made me foolishly danced to it.💔*
*I wish your beauty and sexiness is skin deep. 💔*
*But you said you don't care what I say or feel.💔*
*Your enchanting tune charmed me.*
*And now I have no one to blame but me.*
*I should have known never to fall in love through pity. 💔💔*

Arrogance Of The Privileged
**People of privilege no matter the status can be so despicable.** I am not trying to call out anyone or shoot at someone specifically. No, this is for anyone who is exactly like what you are about to read henceforth.
`But before you go any further, meet my amazing sponsors.❤️❤️❤️`
**God created us as people and created every other thing, living an non living things as he deems fit.** Everyone in this world must accept his creation as he is. Whether he likes it or not there is nothing one can do about it, because that's how the Almighty wanted us to be. And I am not talking about people with deformities of any kind, I believe some deformities can never be accepted no matter what, and they should be fixed if possible.
**What I am aiming at is the special favours that God gift some of the people in the world around us, a gift of wealth.** While others are created poor and with no status. That is God's will, and he does what is best all the time. Extraordinary.
However, most people who are favoured with God's blessing of status and wealth tend to believe they got it for themselves, boasting around, taking no shit but always giving shit to people they feel are beneath them. **Disgusting**.
They boast around and brag with pride superciliouly about their success and achievements, without remembering the Almighty giver and provider and that he can give and take what he has given. If you're not up to their level they treat you like a piece of garbage. **They have no regards to your feelings as a human being let alone of your pain.**
They just want to display and flaunt their success right in your face just to make you feel inferior. Trying to tell you that you are not enough, that you are nothing without them, that they are superior. Then they will want to make you their slave and worship them like they are the sons of pharaoh. **They become unapologetically disturbance of your peace.**
**What is funny is,** when you are in need they hide their faces, stealthily avoiding even an eye contact with you. Never want to show that they notice you in pain and in need. And even if you were to ask for help, that is when they remember they have a twenty million problems that they need to solve. Beating around the bush here and there until you give up hope for their help and accept your faith and turn to the Almighty helper of all. They are Stingy and selfish as hell.
Until you find your own solution, they pretend you don't exist, they act busy and not having your time. People say don't be shy to ask for help. But with only these absolute selfish and stingy folks around you how much courage and confidence would you have as a poor pitiful soul? **How are you going to let them help you without humiliating yourself Infront if them.**
**People who will humiliate you while helping you are not even a wee bit worthy of being asked for help of any kind.** They are not the type of people you should accept things from. On a normal day they make you believe you are all brothers and sisters from one family and in a rainy day they magically turn to total strangers. Huh, ironic. **Truelly you only discover a friends true heart when you are in dirt.**
But I guess your fault is being poor or less privilege unlike them. May be if you were in thesame status or level they would have showed you some more love. Then they would have done all their best to please you and solve your problems without looking down on you. And may be you wouldn't notice them showing off. So I guess we should wait until we are rich to see their other sides. Huh, funny.
***They look down on me and think themselves high, superior and mighty. But I see people like that only as vile and despicable.***

I Hate Stress.
**Stress isn't a funny friend. It has been a hella long stressful day today, not just today including yesterday, I used to have at an hour or two hours nap everyday to relieve myself after a stressful work but this weekend was so unpleasantly different. I can't even remember if had a thirty minutes rest until night break.**
**I have been busy through out Saturday, busy with school work preparing exams questions and notes for my students.** Busy trying to finish my NYSC registration at the cafe, which consumed almost half my day.
And when I was finally done and back home I continued with the school work till real late in the night, and I mean reeeal...real late, after 4am I may say. Yeah! I know it's crazy. So you can guess how much heavy long sleep I have missed. I slept at 4am almost to 5am, technically you can say I didn't even sleep from Saturday to Sunday. Sick right?
I woke up on sunday morning at around 10am, honestly I was woken up by my sister. And I hate it when someone interrupt my sleep especially if I didn't sleep early enough. **What is worse is it was as if I only closed my eyes for a second only to open it again and it's been almost six hours. Scary how quickly and unconsciously one could get lost in sleep and time. It an unsolvable mistry.**
So I woke up after six hours, took care of all morning routine chores and when I was finally relaxing, guess what happened? **My dad opened my window and asked me to do his laundry.** *I swear I wanted to decline and say no but when the man if the house gives a command, the rats in the house must comply and abide.* I am not even sure if I should use those words together *comply and abide_* I am not sure if that is a correct Grammer, **I am just so tired.**
**So I got up, got the laundry, and then I remembered I didn't do mine; And for three weeks for that matter.** My laundry was stacked. So I went back into my room and brought out all my dirty clothes. I actually overlooked some, that my lazy soul told me to just ignore for a reason that I don't even know. May be because I knew I wouldn't or could not be able wash them even if I took them out. Lazy ass me.
I somehow gather up the energy and started washing those clothes like my life depends on them, well it does. Because if I skip another week then i could hang myself, literally. I hate washing clothes more than any other chore, I rather wear a wrapper, enter the kitchen and make ponded yam with draw soup. **Because I hate stress and I love food. So freaking much.**
I started the laundry at around 11am and finished only after 3pm. Even though I had returned some of my clothes that i could not wach back. **It was so terribly f....cking exhausting. Damn!**
Now my body hurts, it hurts all over in pain and strains, my wrist and fingers, my arms and everywhere. I feel like I was beatened up by 50 heavy weight lifting men. **Even my feets feel like I used them to wash and scrub the clothes. It is excruciating.**
**Now after I am done with the laundry I will still need to iron. I hate stress, I hate to work my ass off and get exhausted at the end.** It is not my thing. Now I am tirelessly lying down on a mattress typing bravely this article.
`Meet my dearest sponsors`
***Oh you want to know something funny? I actually dosed off into three hours sleep while in the middle of typing this article.*** But what is not funny is I can't seem to locate my ear peace, I know it was with me but I can't remember if it was in my ear it not. hahahaha...hilarious. poor me. I really, really hate stress.
**Thank you for your time fellas.**

Tears Of A MaN
**A Man is seen always as the brave one, dauntless and courageous. A man is not given the excuse to feel pain and to react to it. He shouldn't be complaining and should always accept his fate as a man.**
**A man is not perceived to be a creature that should show weakness especially Infront of his assumed weak gender(the female).**
*Yes a man is supposed to be the strength of a woman, he should guide her and be her armor, he should feed her and be her confort. He should fend for her and be her hope, he should fight for her and be her pride and joy. A man should take care of his woman and be her river.*
All of that is what the society and nature and formalities and solidarity have made made men to be. But what if I tell you that a woman is more stronger than a man, emotionally. What if I tell you that a woman deals with emotional pain more better and faster than a man. What if I tell you that a man is not strong as we all are told. What if I say_ man is weak? **Man is weaker that a woman.**
`Say a big hello to my wonderful sponsors. They are so great. Lots of love guys❤️`
**Man pretends to be strong because he has to, because he believe it his duty, he believes that, if he don't take responsibility, then who will?** So he strive to in his duties to perfect them. He make decisions that he is scared of, decisions that he is not sure of, decisions that may break him or leave him with a scars.
He does all that because to him it matters even if others don't feel like it matters. To him that is what will make him who he is_ A man. **Every man is born with a bit of pride. As he grows old and gets expose to the world's struggles and trials it develops or gets crushed.**
A man is faced with duties of taking care if his families. He sacrifice his body and health to put food on the table, provides shelter, satisfy their needs and wants and make them happy, even if he doesn't get or have anything for himself, he is okay.
If he fails in his duties, if he fail in carrying out his responsibilities, then he should be ready for the shame, embarrassment and humiliation that will follow. **Failure should not be in his image. A man must always be successful no matter what it takes. That is what is expected by a man.**
**I guess that is why women are created as a providers if confort to man.** A happy and healthy man is the man who has woman that can feel his pain, a sympathetic woman. A man also needs a woman who listen to him, care for him, help him solve his worries and problems. A woman he can lean his bleeding heart on and cry while she wipe his running tears.
**Yes, a men also cry.** Men shade tears of pain, heartbrake, family burdens and responsibilities, men even cry when they are exhausted. But not always visible tears. **We cry in silence and hide the tears while our family laugh and dance with joy.**
No one ever ask the man if he is happy with his life, with all his daily struggles. If anyone does ask him, I guess he cannot give an answer. Because even he is not sure if he is happy or not. When you are used to pain, you unknowingly accept it and let it becomes part of you to the extent that you can't tell if it can be called pain.
**Just because you are a man doesn't mean you are not allowed to cry or shade tears when you are hurt or in pain.** No, cry doesn't make you a real man. A real man cry when he is in pain or heart broken. When you cry it doesn't show weekness, it shows that you have the courage to let go your pain. **Buried tears bury massive pain and hate, hate that could turn to unquenchable rage.**
When you cry and shade tears, those tears flush out the pain. Rinsing your heart of hatred and rage. When you cry, your heart let go of all the pain inside you. Keeping your heart clean, free and clear. So a man's tear is not weakness it is rather a strength.
**So dear men, when you're hurt and in pain, is okay to cry. It is okay to have a shoulder to lean on. You don't have to be a macho man and carry all the pain in your heart. Cry and let it out.**
**Thanks fellas.**
*And thanks to read.cash for giving us a golden bucket to pour our tears in. And also a job for some Bitcoin cash. Lols.*

Valentine today is Overrated
I am about to shake some table here. But mind you, this is not to offend anyone. I know you're all fan's and lovers of valentines.
**What is valentine**
**Valentine is a festival held in mid-February for lovers to express and share their love and affection by giving out giftss and greetings to each other.**
Valentine's day also known as lovers day can be said to have originated from a festival of Lupercalia, a Roman festival. This festival was held to celebrate the pairing of women and men by lottery, which is then later modified into St.Valentines day by Pope Gelasius after he forbid the Roman's festival of Lupercalia between the 5th and 6th century.
**However valentine has a more longer history, origin and meaning than the ones currently being celebrated for.** As another record of history showed how valentine's celebration started with a more darker history performed during the festival which includes dark stuff like; blood sacrifices, drinking and abuse of women by men.
But only those that have done a deep research regarding the topic will have this knowledge on the history of valentines.
Nevertheless, I'm not here to talk about the history of valentines but of how the festival or celebration is overrated. And besides, who cares what some old people did centuries ago. This is our era. Now let's not waste time beating around the bush and let's get into the main topic.
`Here are my special sponsors. Wonderful people with wonderful work.`
**Valentine's day today**
Valentine's day today is so overrated as people are now celebrating it for all the wrong reasons. I mean, it is said to be a lovers day, a time for lovers to reconnect by sharing gifts mostly and share heart gracing greetings.
But we can all agree that this day is no longer a day for actual lovers to celebrate their affection for one another but only for other shameless reasons.
**In valentine, hearts get broken more than being loved and nurtured.** Relationships break instead of being strengthened, more lovers cheat in relationships during this period instead of fixing the important ones. Young girls and boys get wasted and spoiled.
**Today, this period is used and will be used in its name by most people to do the unthinkable and some nasty things.** Taking advantage of all the good reasons other nice people are celebrating it for. Sharing love and joy wrapped in shining gifts. While others share nasty heart break, dirt and disgust.
Some might say I'm saying all this because may be I don't have a valentine this year. Well... They may be right. But I have a couple of Vals the past years and honestly some have been fun and sweet while all the rest, total disappointment.
But I have seen better valentine's with lovely heart touching love shared between two people. I have seen those that ended in tears. And I have seen that they are so fake, so fake that it will disgust you.
**Talking about fake,** people now start relationships only for the sake of getting laid on Valentine's day. Sometimes this is one sided but most the times both parties will agree to start a relationship now and then end it when valentine is over. Isn't that disgusting? And this is not done by the minority but by the majority.
**Majority if teenagers who are still in secondary school and young adults in tertiaries and universities.** Especially university students, this is the period that most fresh innocent students in the university get introduced to the dark side of life. A life of lust, filth, heart break and drugs. It is sad, how these youngsters are now fully confide in the playboys that are singing the devil's song to their ears right now. Wish they really know the regret they are going to have after February 14. Terrible.
**So God bless the real ones who do it for the pure unbreakable love, who do it for the good in it.** Who do it for their loved ones and families and friends. God bless them all. And for the playboys and playgirls out their I say to them WISE UP and start taking responsibilities and have a good heart and stay honest.
**So I guess when I said Valentine is overrated who have understood what I was pointing at. Because what most people are sharing now is not or what will be shared will not be love.**
Hey fellas...Now who wants to be my valentine? Even though I am a poor and terrible lover. Haha!lol. I guess none. Happy valentine in advance fellas.

**Thank you read.cash stars, more Bitcoin cash to your wallets this valentine.**
Poem: Addicted to her.
*Two hours have passed already*
*And I thought I would be alright in the next two hours to come I will have no worry*
*I knew it will be hard and uneasy*
*But I thought since without her I will be less busy*
*I will get the chance to do something more energetic*
*I didn't plan for this*
*Few hours will be alright to miss*
*Never thought I will feel like this what kind of strange feeling is this*
*Why can't I keep my mind still*
*This is crazy, what is this longing*
*I am disturbed, I can't keep my mind at rest*
*Never realized that this would feel like a house arrest*
*Now my thoughts about her is all that is left*
*Stayed outdoor for hours just hoping that she will show herself*
*About seven hours have passed now and there's no sign of her*
*The only sign I see is her sexy enchanting figure*
*Her smooth back and sides with her face so clear and fair*
*The first time I set eyes on her I knew we could be a pair*
*I had no choice but to surrender myself to her*
`Here are my wonderful and gracious sponsors. Glad tidings to them and God bless.`
*I operate, she controls me*
*I control her, she operate me*
*I misuse her, she tolerates me*
*Yes, we are complicated*
*She lead I follow,I lead she follow*
*Oh we cannot be separated*
*Without her today I feel so lifeless*
*My breath so heavy almost breathless*
*This is new I can't stand this loneliness*
*I can't do nothing today without her sweetness*
*Only this time I have realized she have been my strength and my weakness*
*We are in the tenth hour now still lonely with my thoughts*
*Thoughts of the one who have made me tough yet soft*
*My other half my partner in crime*
*If I am a bad boy she is to blame*
*I have known her since when she's in her prime*
*I'm in my bed turning left and right*
*Her images in my head so clear and bright*
*I am trying so hard to sleep deep in peace*
*But the ache in my heart is way too deep*
*It's so unbearable my heart is breaking to pieces*
*For me to shake off this heavy weight*
*I need to behold her physical sight and shining light*
*I mean how can one forget the best moments ever shared*
*And all the fun and sad memories shared*
*Between two hearts so intertwined like Romeo and juliet*
*souls so merged like merger and acquisition*
*Our chemistry is so full of precision*
*I fell asleep miraculously*
*And I woke up so full of agony*
*Can't believe I was able to sleep without her beside me*
*She used to be the first I hold on to every morning*
*Now I wake up feeling her absence killing me*
*But for her I will wait as long as it takes*
*Because between us there is love at stake*
*So my hope and faith will never shake*
*For I believe she will find her way back to her place*
*A place where she has been soud and safe*
*After thirty two hours she has finally returned home*
*And I am elevated in spirit and joy*
*All my worries at gone*
*All my heart ache, sorrows are gone we can finally be together now and tonight we are going to a pillow*
*Letting out chemistry control the flow*
*After thirty two hours of sorrow*
*She has finally come around*
Can't wait to get lost in her hypnotizing sound
*She Is now looking more sexier than ever*
*Everything on her glows with glitter*
*And she is feeling again more like my smartphone*
*I am so addicted to this smartphone*
**Heyyy fellas.. that was a bit of what I went through 2 days ago after I gave out my for repair and they couldn't finish it in a day. What! You thought I was referring to a person? Hahaha...**
**Thank you for reading fellas.**

Good morning fellas. Most especially @Telecharm. Thank dear friend for renewing our sponsorship two days ago. I won't let you down. Lots of love.
How I See
Everyone has his own way of seeing things that happens around them. When I say seeing I don't just mean seeing with the naked eye what is tangible but also seeing with the mind and heart what is intangible. And seeing without actually seeing.
People mostly use only their eyes to look at situations that are not meant to be viewed with the eyes alone but are those that need to be viewed with insight and wisdom. Those that needed to be seen with the heart and mind.
The ability to see things that are beyond the use of the naked eyes are rare gifts that some people don't acre to use. Everyone has a brain to help him view situations in a different perspective from what they are portrayed to be or from what they appear to look like.
The ability to see things positively with the gifted insight of mind and heart enable people to perceive things in a positive point of view that will enable them make accurate decisions about a given problem in a given situation.
`All gratitude to my amazing sponsors who keep me going all the time. God bless you.`
**The way I see things**
The way I see things is quite different from the way people see things. In alot of occasions I seem to always have a different view of things and problems from a different angle other than the angle most people view things from.
**I hardly agree with most people's opinions because most people's opinions don't make sense to me,they don't always feel right.** So I always disagree with what most people suggest to be right or wrong, good or bad. I always have my own better opinion.
**I actually like to look at things beyond what is visible to me.** I like to think deep with my head, my mind and see things with the heart. Because what I believe is what we see is not always what actually is. And that there is always something more to it.
**When I am with people I see and perceive people in more than they show themselves to be.** Because I know there is always something extra about everyone whoever that person is. There is always something a person is not revealing to people, something hidden. That is why is hard for me to be fooled by many people. And this is not a brag. I'm just saying.
**I have learned for a long time ago to expect the unexpected and to see what is hidden.** Because people and the world can be so disappointing. And before you know it the world will surprise you in a way you never expected or imagined. So I learned to expect disappointment and to suspect the possibility of being surprised so that I don't feel the pain of disappointment.
**I see failure** as a test by God or as punishment for a sin or crime committed by me. So when I fail at anything I try to check myself and make adjustment to my life and the way I do things.
**I see Success** as test or a gift. I never loose my humbleness because I achieved something great. I may be happy but I never get that extreme enthusiasm towards my success. I stay calm and thank the Lord for his blessings.
**The weak and the strong I see them differently.** Sometimes I see the weak as the strong and one others see to be the strong I see them as the weak. For example I don't see violent people who take care of every problem with force and violence as strong rather I see them as the weakest of people. On the other hand I see those who are patient, soft, gentle and kind as the strongest.
Well that's all I can say for now, all I can see in my head for now.
Thank you fellas.
