Adult Problems We Are Not Ready For

Adulthood is a phase in which we progressively begin to decline in a variety of ways as time passes, and while you may think you're preparing for adulthood, it has already begun.
The following are some grownup issues that I believe we are not prepared to deal with:
**1. LACK OF FRIENDS**
We will have to make some difficult decisions on our journey to adulthood, including the necessity of unfriending some people due to their detrimental impact on us, even if it will take time to recover. As a result, we'll have fewer pals as adults, which I'm sure we're not ready for.
You'll constantly wonder, "Where have all my buddies gone?" Meanwhile, they are all residing around us, but they are no longer our friends due to the circumstances we have found ourselves in.
Sometimes it's caused by a move to find a better career or a more conducive living situation, and you have no choice but to leave where you grew up because it's the only way to live a better quality of life, and you'll lose some friends along the way due to the distance.
The most typical is death; unfortunately, some friends may not live to see adulthood, and this is the normal way for friends to drift apart. Making friends as an adult is one thing, but maintaining them is quite another.
**2. LACK OF PURPOSE**
When we were younger, we had goals that we wanted to achieve, such as getting into college and passing tests and exams, but after all of that, we are left to our own devices to find meaning in our lives, which can be extremely difficult.
That is why most people lack purpose in adulthood, and the minority people who do have purpose do so because they have had one since childhood and have maintained it till adulthood. We gain more understanding in maturity only on rare occasions.
I have some companions who were good in sports as children and are now almost adults who have lost interest in sports because they have been left alone with no one to sponsor or encourage them because they believe that once you reach adulthood, you are capable of taking care of yourself and that is sufficient.
**3. HEALTH ISSUES**
You can't avoid health issues as you get older, though some people may be fortunate enough to avoid them. Let's start with weak bones and gums, which can lead to tooth loss, diabetes, hair loss, and sagging skin.
You'll begin to take things slowly because you no longer have that youthful vigor, and everything appears to be a source of stress to you. Every day also appears to be getting fairly close to your death date, and it grows scarier by the day. Meanwhile, as you try to deal with your health concerns, your parents' health deteriorates, and your children face a variety of challenges, making life increasingly difficult.

Simplest thing that makes me happy
AUTHOR: OMOJUWA FREEDOM
DATE:18 JANUARY 2022
Happiness is an emotional state in which you are ecstatic about something excellent that has happened or is about to happen, making you feel good and pleased. Simply said, it is the polar opposite of melancholy.
I'd like to share some of the simplest things that make me happy, and I don't have a choice but to be happy.
**SEEING AN OLD FRIEND**
Yeah, I have some buddies who I don't have their contact information for various reasons and haven't seen in a long time; some may be my primary school classmates, while others may be childhood buddies who left the community because their parents found better employment or moved to a different apartment.
When I meet them and we recognize each other, it makes me happy, and we talk for a bit, exchange contact information, and plan to meet up again in a more convenient area.
**SOMEONE TELLING ME GOOD LUCK OR HAVE A BLESSED DAY;**
That's one of the encouraging words I love to hear when I'm attempting to prepare for anything crucial that I truly need, such as a test or a job application. That individual genuinely cares about me and wishes me well, and I will naturally encourage myself to surround myself with similar people.
**SPENDING TIME WITH MY PET;**
Going for a walk with my dog, and what I like about it is that my dog is quite large, so people stare at me as I walk down the road. Though it's an estate, there aren't many people wandering, the few people asking me for the dog's name makes me feel happy because it's the only time I have conversations with people who live on my estate.
**LISTENING TO MUSIC;**
This is undoubtedly one of my favorite things to do, and I have a few favorite artists who make excellent songs, including Wizkid, Juice WRLD, Burna Boy, Ed Sheeran, and Travis Greene. Though I have many favorites, I'll take this chance to share a few of my favorites, which include Ocean Eye by Billie Eilish, Stay High by Juice WRLD, Heart on Ice by Rod Wave, Outside by Buju, and Burna Boy's whole discography.
Music has a strong influence on my mood, which is why I listen to Gospel music as well as songs that lighten my mood, which are generally hip hop. I have a playlist for every emotion I'm in, as well as when I'm feeling low or mentally unprepared for anything.
**WATCHING KIDS SMILING, LAUGHING AND PLAYING TOGETHER;**
Before I returned to school, all of our friends and relatives came to the family house for Thanksgiving, and I was surrounded by children. As a result, I had to download animated movies, and when we lost interest, we switched to the children's program on DStv.
I had a great time with them in the little time I had with them, and I loved every minute of it, from interacting to watching movies to playing video games to taking them out for ice cream.
**Playing video games**
However, there are some video games that I enjoy playing and am fairly good at at least one of them. But my favorite game is pro evolution soccer, also known as pes, and defeating me in pes requires a high level of expertise.
COD, PUBG, Grand Theft Auto, and more games are still favorites of mine.
***What are the little things that people do or you personally do that makes you happy?***

Things that I find weird the more I think about it
AUTHOR; OMOJUWA FREEDOM
DATE; 17 JANUARY 2022
`KINDLY CHECK OUT KY AWESOME SPONSORS`
Just a random article about various events that occur in our lives, and as I consider them further, I begin to wonder why they are occurring. .... And there are instances when I am unable to find an answer, which makes it weird to me.
Some of the items on my list are as follows:
**1. BEING IN LOVE**
why I chose this was that; through out our entire lives we have been living with our loved ones and other relatives living close by and all of a sudden you meet someone by mistake or coincidence then they become one of the most important person in you life. what makes it weirder is the fact that; we never chose our parents before we were given birth to and we will never choose our children that we will give birth to but we will definitely choose a partner that we will love and this makes me still wonder.
the way we fall in love is what makes it more weirder; let me share a story of my uncle,
He was invited to a cocktail party at his friends' house late at night when he was 18 years old, and the girl they closely correlated him up with is the girl he married after 15 years, and I'm still baffled as to how they fell madly in love with just having attended a birthday party and meeting a girl you've never met before, and it just reinforced my belief that love is strange.
Another story told by my friend's father is that the first person he saw in class after admission was a girl, and it was love at first sight. They have been married for over 45 years and have six children, one of whom is my friend. I've never imagined falling in love at first sight, and the more I think about it, the weirder it becomes.
**2 . MUSIC**
Have you ever considered that music is a mix of sound waves that produce amazing sounds that are captivating to the ears?
Music has the ability to affect our emotions. For example, sometimes I listen to sad songs or hear broken songs, and I just start to feel sad just by listening to sad songs, and it can also lighten up moods when you're down and depressed. I'm still perplexed as to why things are the way they are.
**3. DREAMS**
I've heard that dreams are usually a message or warning about something you're doing or what's to come, and I began to question if irrational dreams packed with silly gibberish are also a message or warning because they make dreaming odd for me. and when you try to figure out what you dreamed about.
I've also heard that we dream about what we think about, and I'm still not sure what that means.
**4. OWNING PETS**
I observed that some individuals obtain pets solely to keep them alive and feed them till they die; they never consider the fact that the atmosphere in which they maintain the pet is unsuitable, they don't even have time dedicated to play or go on a walk with their pets and it makes me uncomfortable to think that people buy pets solely to keep them alive and feed them.
***That concludes the accumulated list; it may not seem strange to you, but it is to me. Don't forget to share anything in the comments section that you find strange the more you think about it.***

Few of my philosophy on life.
AUTHOR: OMOJUWA FREEDOM
DATE:16 JANUARY 2022
Good Day, everyone, it looks as if January is taking its time well before it actually leaves because it seems we have spent over 2 months but we're still in January 🤣🤣, let's enjoy the moment though it seems longer than usual.
`Kindly check out my awesome sponsors`
Basically, I'm sharing some of my few philosophies on life with my write up and piled up they are nine in numbers.
**1. JUDGEMENT**
Whatever you do in this life, someone is watching you and doesn't like what you're doing, even if it's good. They have this irrational animosity for you for no apparent reason.
**2. AGE AND WISDOM AREN'T RELATED**
There is a popular assumption that we should always listen to the advice of elderly people since they have been on this planet longer than us and, as a result, have accumulated enough life experience to believe whatever they say. To be honest, you may have the experience, but just because you're older doesn't mean you've comprehended everything there is to know about life.
**3. BEING NICE**
Being nice is great, but being nice to someone and showing them you care while you're expecting anything in return means you've never been nice.
**4 . BEING KIND**
Actually, I do express kindness to anyone who needs it if I have the opportunity to do so at the time because I have no idea what the individual is going through. So I lend a hand with what I have. Despite the fact that there are scammers everywhere masquerading as if they require assistance, I have never shied away from extending generosity to those in need.
**5. WE LIVE TO DIE**
We got closer to death or the grave the longer we live on this earth. So live your best life and don't be troubled with what others say to you or behind your back. So be cheerful and smile all the time, tell the people you care about how much you love them, and tell those who hate you how much you love them.
**6. BE YOURSELF**
Always be yourself; don't attempt to be someone else for any reason; you're unique the way you are, and it's better to be yourself than to try to be someone else because if you try to be someone else, you can end yourself somewhere you don't want to be or doing something you're not supposed to be doing.
**7. LOVE**
Not All love is genuine most of it is lust and love Is really hard so don't try to force love on someone because later you would regret lt.
love is hard sometimes you love and you don't get loved back in return and it's really tough, so don't fall in love when you can't handle the pain that follows it.
**8. FAILURE**
Instead of being afraid of failing, be afraid of not trying at all, because you'll never know if you succeeded or not. As a result, seize any opportunity you come across and put it to good use.
**9. GOD BLESSINGS**
When you think God hasn't done anything in your life, start counting your blessings and naming them one by one and also taking note of them. From the previous day to the next, you will discover how many blessings he has bestowed upon you.
***Let me leave you with this encouraging message: blame no one; when you look in the mirror at the other side, you see a tremendous opportunity because tomorrow is the first day of the rest of our lives, so that's a great opportunity to start over and practice becoming perfect and mastering everything you once failed.***

what I look forward to each single day
AUTHOR:OMOJUWA FREEDOM
DATE: 14 JANUARY 2022
`Hi everyone, Graciously check out my awesome sponsors`
From the onset of this year 2022, though are currently still in the first month, I have noticed most things that occur each day and I would love to share what I look ahead to each day because it's now a regular routine.
****1. PRAYER****
A day should never be spent without prayer; it should begin with prayer and end with prayer. Prayer is a conversation that establishes a connection or conduit with our creator, allowing you to ask him for everything you require. We learn more about God's plans for us through prayers. Praying first thing in the morning allows us to connect with God before the evil outside, and God goes ahead of us to fight the battles we can't see.
since God is everywhere and all-knowing, you can ask him everything you need at any point in time and anywhere. through prayers, we can
Ask for forgiveness
Ask for grace
Ask for peace
Ask for a better understanding of ourselves
Ask for guidance
Ask for blessings
*you can get everything you need from God and when you don't receive it just know it's not the perfect time for you to have it and when the time comes you will receive it because God knows all that is good for us.*
****2. SCHOOL****
To be honest, there is currently nothing like fun in the school environment, and I only recently discovered it. Just a few weeks after the new year break, I'm swamped with school assignments and projects, and as a result, I can't participate in any sporting activities, and I don't have time to check out my girlfriend who attends a nearby college. Though it is not necessary to see her every day, at least twice a week should enough, but I am currently overworked.
The educational system in our country is a complete disaster; they force us to take superfluous courses in order to keep us in school longer, despite the fact that there is nothing we can do about it and we have no choice but to comply. The most irritating aspect is that the educational system is obsolete, and no effort is being made to modernize it.
****3. EATING****
One of the things I can go a whole day without doing is this. Despite the fact that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, I rarely have time to eat it due to my school activities. But at least twice a day I have to eat, and I thank God for that because there are a lot of people who can't enjoy what I can, and I'm not making fun of them, but I'm grateful for God's grace in my life.
Nonetheless, my favorite cuisine is a combination of corn flakes and golden morn that no one else considers to be food. ***"Short joke: when people ask what is my favorite food , I always reply; free food 😂😂😂."***
**4.** ****SLEEPING****
I believe that going a week without sleeping will result in mental disease or exhaustion. A day can't go by without me getting enough sleep. Sleeping is usually more enjoyable after you've completed all of your tasks and have nothing bothering you. I promise you'll have the best night's sleep you've ever had.
Sleeping helps a lot, when I'm mentally, physically, and emotionally stressed out, I think sleeping is my favorite thing to do at that moment.
****5. MID-DAY TEXT****
yeah, this might look surprising but every day especially in the afternoon I do anticipate a text from my cousin telling me how his day went and after that we have a slight conversation and now it has turned into a ritual because a day can not go without him not sending me a text message.
***Though there are more things I stumble upon each day these are the few ones I could provide with my article.***

Motivation where art thou
motivation doesn't just come up as if it was buried down someplace or beneath the dirt, when you have someone dealing with depression the best you can do for that individual is by showing up physically anytime they need help, not just giving advice now and then and expect them to be motivated or stimulated and if it's possible to go on a long walk with them, try and encourage them to do so.
To be sincere motivation doesn't just happen in a day, it's a progressive development that might seem inconceivable or impossible at some point. That's while progress is phase by phase, step by step, have you ever wondered why is not just a day that makes up a day but seconds make up minutes and minutes comprise hours and several hours bring about a day. same with the motivation you can't just get fully motivated in a day.
I once had a buddy who was depressed for several days when his wife betrayed him just a week before his wedding, despite all the introductions they had made. This hampered him, and simple morning rituals such as waking up early, washing, and brushing his teeth became difficult for him, and he was despondent for several days after the incident.
I couldn't just let him be alone and watch him squander his precious life because he was so close to me, so I had to be physically present for him because actions speak louder than words. So, mainly because of him I began going to the gym just for him to be motivated and with time I started noticing some changes and those changes didn't come overnight it was stage by stage.
There is this quote I previously came about and it chatters about life as being meaningless and there is no prize at the end of the adventure in life, though I almost fell for it when I started reading across the messages the author was passing through, I discovered that the writer was actually pessimistic after losing someone close to him and he then regarded life as being irrelevant without being with someone he loved.
Are you still on the lookout for motivation? let me try this and hope it works out, you can't just give up now, you've com a long way to get to where you are today, the path you've taken has been massively awesome, you've made some decisions that when you look back on, you're always proud of yourself, you remember the the little goal you achieved along the way, the numbers of people you have helped and nurtured. now think about everything, do you want it all to waste? That's something I'm sure you don't want. Now get up and become who you want to be because there is no stopping at this stage.
**Just know that you're never alone, you're doing great, don't ever assume you're helpless. whatever the reason that caused your u depression don't overthink it but learn from it because better days are ahead.**

Love for football
**Hey everyone, I would cherish to share the love I had for football and how it started.**
`These are my remarkable sponsors`
When I was a child, I didn't have anything to do, so football was my cheerful place. Football was all I minded about, and despite my lack of knowledge, I was anxious to learn and outshine my peers.
I recollect this day like it was yesterday; I was still young at the time, and my sister was very sick, so I was sent on an errand to get nourishment and medications for her; there was a football pitch I had to pass before arriving at the location where I was sent.
I went there and bought everything they asked me to, and on the way back, I had to go through the football field again, but this time I had no clue when I just stood there and began watching middle-aged men play football, and I did not recall until I noticed something leaking, and then I realized it was the delicacy I had gone to buy.
At that point, I discovered I had devoured nearly 2 hours simply watching other guys play football, and it was at that point that I fell in love with the game, and it was at that point that I decided to give it a go.
It's gotten to the point where whenever there's a football gathering, I'm always present. My first goal was still fresh in my mind. At the time, I was in primary school, but I don't recall which class it was in. I tried curling the ball past the goalkeeper, and all of a sudden it was a goal.
The reason why I could remember this was that when I scored the goal, one of the senior instructors recognized me and yelled my name. He also gave me 20 naira, which at the time was more valuable, and I used it to purchase chocolate for my buddies.
I reminisce about my first live football match, which was between my country Nigeria and Argentina. Though we lost, I witnessed the thrill of people coming together to support their country, even though the match took place very early in the morning.
I remember the exact moment I saw Cristiano Ronaldo don Santos, the greatest player to ever step on a football pitch, play for Manchester United against Chelsea in the UEFA champions league final; I could see the excitement on his face after they won the final, and I could see how fans of Manchester United were delighted after the penalty shootout; I was younger at the time, but I managed to understand the impact of football on our lives.
I recall being told to be a goalkeeper for the first time in high school, even though I was the promising player in my primary school, and I had no choice but to accept it because all I wanted to do was play in a football match, and from that experience, I learned that you can be the best at one phase or environment but be a novice at another.
Football is a tremendous portion of my life, and I enjoy playing football video games when I don't have anything else to do. I can play football and modify what I learn on the field to the video game, so I'm pretty good at them. This was the last football video game I played on a given laptop from a friend;
Even though I cease playing football at a youthful age because I relinquished interest in it and as a result grew grossly overweight, I occasionally go out to watch others play since it brings me excitement.

Such a tricky life
Life is like a chess, even those who have mastered all of the available ways to win and every part of the game have dealt with loss at some point in their early stages, and those who subsequently mastered the board are those who got up stronger and more resilient and never dreamed of having to give up; **The same is true in life. You can only get better if you don't give up due of your previous failures.**
Even if they have mastered all of the strategies and ideas necessary to defeat any opponent they face, they will suffer a shock loss at some stage in the future, and it will be devastating, especially if it is a loss to an aspiring young or an amateur chess player; **Similar to life, even when it appears that you've solved all of your problems or overcome all of your hurdles, things don't always go as planned.**
That's how life is because we all struggled and gave our all to achieve our dreams at one point in our lives, so we never gave up, and we confronted every single problem we encountered, and gradually we became efficient and effective, and we may have mastered every possible way to succeed in life, that we all have the power to do anything we want and get away with it. Some times in life, **Most people fulfill all of their goals and rise to positions of power in society; they confront more obstacles, but they focus on the major issues while ignoring minor ones.**
The minor issues we ignored because we believed we couldn't make any declination in our progressions are what will eventually catch up with us and harm us, similar to what occurred to the chess master who was defeated by an amateur.
What is it about life that makes it so perplexing? When you believe you deserve something because you've worked so hard for it, everything changes and it appears as though everything is working against you when it wasn't always that way.
What is it about life that makes it so perplexing? You may believe you have everything and that all you need to do now is enjoy life to the fullest and spend as much time as possible with your family and loved ones, but then problems arise and everything begins to deteriorate, and the money you intended to spend on personal satisfaction is now being forced to be spent on healthcare expenses.
Why's life so trick? Why is it that occasionally you plan everything ahead of time for the abundantly clear day and then problems appear; I once had a friend who was quite great at football and he was contacted to a trial so he could play in Europe, he spent two months making preparations for the football trial and then a day before the trial he was carjacked and they shot his toe and that's how he couldn't play football again; why is it that sometimes you plan everything ahead of time for the obvious day and then problems appear; why is it a day to the football trial that this had to happen, is life playing a trick on him? I don't know.
**Why is it that when it's time to attain what you've been working toward, your troubles seem to multiply?**

Considered Easy But People Find It Hard To Do.
Happy Sunday everyone! Were you all able to attend church today? , As I'm sure you all know, the Sabbath day is meant to be kept holy, and not just only Sunday; every day should be kept holy as well, for our Creator is holy.
I went to a different church today, not because my previous church was bad, but because most of my friends go there and rave about how great it is, so I decided to give it a try this morning, and I'm glad I did because everything from the praise and worship to the sermon to the grace was incredible. Despite the fact that it is the second Sunday of the year, I'm delighted I did today.
Definitely, I'm going to the next service because I don't want to miss the next preaching and another fantastic praise and worship in God's presence and I'm sure I'll learn something or two by the conclusion of the sermon. I can honestly say that I had a fantastic Sunday, despite the fact that it is not yet done.
`Kindly check out my awesome sponsors`
Basically, the purpose of this article was to provide for things that are deemed easy but difficult to do, but I will just put more emphasis on **living** as the main subject.
This should come as a shock to you since, if you're reading this, I'm sure you never expected living to be something we take for granted but find difficult to achieve. Living in an era of pandemics, economic instability, and, most significantly, the global warming scenario is not easy.
As a student, you attend classes every day and are given tasks to complete, and you may not properly understand what you're simply attempting to do, but they will still try to give us tests and examinations, and they don't think it matters if we understand what they're teaching or not, but we must ensure that we pass the exam without understanding what we're doing, and will you tell me that having to live as a student is easy?
You wake up every morning to take a job just to put food on the table for your kids at home, and you also afford to support your children in college who keep trying to contact you for financial support for projects, assignments, and feeding money, and we shouldn't forget about the house expenses, the bills that keep piling up, and the birthday of their very own child coming up, which must be celebrated despite their financial constraints. Will you say that becoming a parent is easy?
**Final Thought**
To be honest, some people live comfortably and do not face significant challenges in life, but the vast majority of people are struggling, and for them, existing is usually easy, surviving is a bit difficult, and living is a bit difficult.

Things that progressively get me upset
It's been increasingly difficult for me to come up with an article recently, yet inspiration always comes from surprising places, and then I write an article. School stress is unavoidable, and that's what I'm experiencing right now, despite my best efforts to avoid everything that might cause me stress this yea
`Kindly check out my awesome sponsors`
There are a few things that have been bothering me recently and that I've attempted to ignore but it seems I can't, which are:
**1. NOISE**
I used to be able to ignore people making noise around me, but I've suddenly lost that superpower; they now start making noise when I have something essential to accomplish, which greatly irritates me, and sometimes all I can do is evacuate the place where the disturbance is.
Currently, the hostel i stay is close to a building that is under renovation, and every day they work with machines that make a noise, which keeps me awake most of the time. When the workers aren't working, they play music through their speaker systems, which is very loud, and we've tried to persuade them to turn it down, but they don't listen.
**2. SKIN REACTION**
Because of the skin irritation bumps that appear after coming in contact, my skin is quite sensitive, and I try to live with it. Being very receptive, I struggle with it because, I normally wear long sleeves to avoid getting into contact with another person's skin or any dirty textures.
It's gotten to the point that it irritates me every time, and it's one of the main reasons I stopped participating in sporting activities as a kid (though I still sneak out every now and then to play football), but it doesn't happen all the time, unlike now when even a bruise can be so itchy....
**3. SLEEPLESS NIGHT**
I currently have an assigned task to complete, which is project paperwork involving the total taking off of a three storey structure from foundation to finish, which I must submit according to the task list and schedule.
Unfortunately, I have no idea what to do, which is quite aggravating. I've done my hardest to fully comprehend the foundation portion of the project, but it's been difficult because this is the first time I've been on such a journey.
Basically, the assignment is the reason I've been having sleepless nights recently, but I've found someone to help me with it, and I'm confident I'll be done by next week.
**4. HAVING TO DECIDE WHAT TO EAT FOR DINNER**
This may be the easiest thing in the world to do for some people, but I find it tough to make meal decisions, and I generally end up consuming snacks or junk foods, which are clearly detrimental for my health.
**These are the activities that progressively get me upset recently**

Non COVID reason people like wearing face mask
Unfortunately, we are in the COVID 19 era, and we are aware of the implications of being infected with COVID 19. The World Health Organization (WHO) affirmed COVID 19 a public medical emergency on January 30, 2020, but according to some research, the first incident of COVID 19 occurred in Wuhan, China, in December 2019.
To keep a long story short, we all started wearing face masks to avoid or lessen the danger of being infected with Covid 19. At the time, wearing a face mask was required for any social gathering or activity involving two or more individuals.
The major benefit of wearing a face mask is to lower the danger of being infected with Covid 19, but as time passes on, we learn about other benefits of using face masks, which I'd like to discuss with you in this article. Some people use it for great things, while others use it to hide their anxieties, which is acceptable because we all have something about which we are self-conscious of and the list includes
1**. TALKING TO OURSELVES AND SMILING TO OUR OWN JOKES**
Those days of not being able to laugh at our own jokes in public or at social gatherings because people would wonder why we were laughing are long gone thanks to face masks; now we can grin without anybody noticing and it has become a part of us because no one asks why we are laughing.
Now we can confidently whisper sing while strolling in public because no one will question why you're whispering or smiling because they won't notice.
**2. TO COVER THEIR TEETH.**
I have this close friend of mine that had braces on his teeth since October 2020, no one knew about it and I never knew about until he came over for my birthday celebration, we had to talk for a while that was when I noticed about it and he told me how unsecured it was but thanks to facemask people don't notice about it only those closer to him.
**3. FOR FASHION**
People have to design a unique face mask for themselves in order to match their footwear, haircuts, or clothes, according to what I've heard largely on social media. They consider the black facemask to be the ideal nose mask because it suits every color of your outfit, but the blue nose mask is out of style.
Girls don't have to worry about putting make-up as much as they used to, especially on the lips; they only have to worry about their eyebrows and that's it, and they spend less money on make-up as a result.
****FINAL THOUGHTS****
There are other reasons why individuals wear facemasks, but while we're doing so, make sure we're following the safety precautions to avoid getting into contact with COVID 19.

Reason for anger
Anger is the most instinctive and fast expression to pain, which can be created by a variety of things that are meant to happen, as well as by our irrational decisions that later come back to hurt us.
Sometimes we're intended to be angry since there's hardly anything we can do to prevent it, and it's unsurprising at the moment because life grows tougher with each passing day, and only those who have prepared ahead of time are strong enough to make it through.
There are many motives to be angry, and I'd like to share a few with you, but before that, feel free to check out my magnificent sponsors.
**1. DEATH OF THEIR LOVED ONES**
When someone you love dies, you feel compelled to live a life full of grief, which leads to you being furious at life itself, which is completely normal because it's the only thing you can do at the time unless the person isn't close to you.
**2. BEING HOMELESS**
Sincerely, everyone ought to have a place to call home and enjoy the benefits, but the current state of the economy causes expenses to increase substantially, and the available jobs to keep a house stable is now not offering anything, causing many to become angry.
**3. BEING IN A TOXIC RELATIONSHIP**
Not every relationship is going smoothly; some may appear to be going well on the internet due to the way they portray it on social media, but nothing is going well at home, and they are both tired of their partnership. However, because they already have children, divorce will be difficult to achieve, and both partners will undoubtedly be angry.
**4. BEING SCAMMED**
I have a number of colleagues who have been defrauded by all of these online investment platforms and have lost all of their monetary assets. It has made them very frustrated, and they have no alternative but to be angry.
**5. GROWING UP IN AN ABUSIVE HOME**
Some people will never be able to let go of their past since their childhood was traumatized by narcissistic parents, and the only thing they recognize is to be angry, and the more they think about such experiences, the angrier they become.
**6. LOSING YOUR PET**
Losing a pet, especially one you've cared for since it was a puppy and lost due to kidnapping or mortality, can be agonizing, and all you can do is become enraged since there's nothing you can do to bring it back if it passes away.
**FINAL THOUGHT**
There are many reasons we see individuals upset every day, and we don't get to know what's causing it, so we assume it's a mental problem.
Inequitable treatment
Financial difficulties
Negative incidents in the past
Stress
Failure
**What do you believe causes people to become enraged?**

What other people value but you don't.
AUTHOR: OMOJUWA FREEDOM
DATE: 3 January 2022
We all have something that other people regard highly or value, but we show little or no concern for it since it doesn't really matter whether we have it or not, and it doesn't really define who we are.
`So kindly check out my awesome sponsors`
For things people value, For me I just think they are much but I would love to share just 3, which are
**1. BEING UNDERSTOOD**
I was recently chatting with a friend, and she thought I completely misunderstood a point she was making, but I didn't; in the meantime, I was just trying to keep the conversation going and not get bored, and she might have gotten irritated during that time, though she did not inform me, but I clearly knew through the conversation.
I won't dispute that it's delightful to have someone who understands you when you're trying to make a statement, but I'm fine with being misunderstood since I believe it's inevitable for someone not to grasp what you're saying, and we can never be comprehended by everyone.
While I was writing this article, the same buddy sent me a voice note of her singing. Her voice was really good, but I tried to joke with her that I was expecting something better, and she took it way too far. I attempted to explain that it was a joke, but she didn't believe it. It's natural to be misconstrued from time to time, and you simply have to tolerate it.
**2. BEING LOVED**
Even if you put on your right mentality or personality, not everyone will love you; there are just some individuals who don't care, even if you've supported them in the past by showing them love; they are who they are, and you can't really change them.
Even if you strive to emulate someone else in order for them to like you, some people will still reject you. So the best you can do is just be yourself and love others, and those that care about you will undoubtedly love you back.
It's fine not to be adored by everyone; at the very least, you have some people who actually care about you, and even if it's just one person, I'm sure you're content because someone actually genuinely likes you for who you're.
**3. BEING FAMOUS**
A colleague recently asked me whether I would prefer: **"being wealthy and famous" or "simply being wealthy without fame."** Obviously, it didn't take me more than 5 seconds to respond, which is because I just prefer to be wealthy and enjoy a life where I can help others in need rather than brag about it.
I just want a simple life encircled by my loved ones, and I want to make them wealthy as well. Whether they want to show off or not is up to them, but I want to be wealthy without the fame.

What should be free
AUTHOR: OMOJUWA FREEDOM
DATE: 2 January 2022
Obviously, we live in an era where things that should be free are being paid for due to the situations in which some nations find themselves. However, I believe that there are ways in which those particular things can be free, but the corruption, crony capitalism in which my nation lives makes it difficult for them.
There are a lot of things I'd want to discuss that are paid for at a higher price in my nation but are provided for free in other places.
`So before I share my awesome idea, kindly check out my kind, awesome and fantastic sponsors`
These are the list of things that are meant to be free:
**1. Hospitals In General**
If someone's life is in danger or about to expire in my country, they will still demand money for diagnosing and treating patients before any treatment can initiate, which is extremely detrimental to the country as a whole, and if the person dies, they will still demand money before releasing the body to his or her relatives.
These costs are extremely high, and the government in this country doesn't seem to mind because they have the financial means to cover them. In fact, they frequently travel to other countries for better treatment, deciding to leave their own country's health care in complete disarray.
At the very least, if it cannot be free for all, the least that could be done is that persons over the age of 60 should be eligible for free medical treatment, and children under the age of 16 should be eligible for free treatment if they are conceived with a health problem.
**2. Public Transportation**
Even though it might look impossible bin some countries but at least they can make it free on weekdays when people don't go to work and most especially free for students who are still in highschool.
If we're all wealthy no one would consider using a public transport but the situation we find ourselves we have no choice than to use it and now public transportation fee is getting more expensive as each day passes and it affects a lot of people.
**3. Education**
Education should be completely free, Even if it appears unfeasible in some nations, they can at least make it free on weekdays when people are not at work, and especially for students still in high school.
No one would consider utilizing public transportation if we were all millionaires, but in our current condition, we have no choice but to do so, and the cost of public transportation is increasing with each passing day, affecting a large number of people.
****Final Thought****
Nothing easy comes easy, and we should be aware of this. If we are in a position to help someone for free, please do so because you never know what others are going through, and what we consider insignificant to others means a great deal to them.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. 💙
`#2 Article of 365`
What I think everyone should know.
Happy new year everyone, I couldn't come up with an article on the 31st of December, the last day of 2021, since I was too busy collecting groceries and making preparations for New Year's Day, but I made sure I was able to write today, the first day of 2022 in other to start my 365 day journey of writing.
So, let the 365-day writing adventure start 👀.
`First Time, thanking my sponsors this year, I really appreciate everything you all did last year, kindly check them out and you won't regret doing so.`
Back to the main subject of the article, based on the experiences in 2021, these are some of the things I think we should all be known to us
**1. What You Say Or Do Have An Impact Especially On People Really Close To You**
That's why there's this popular saying **“the tree remember what the axe did but the axe forget As soon as its job is done"** which also applies to we human being, words can be so sharp than a sword when it's coming from someone we really have feelings for or regard as a mentor it really hurts.
We may not even know each other in person; you may only have know each other through social media, and what you say in response to their tweet or post may have potential damage to them, even if you had no intention of hurting them.
We don't really know what individuals are going through, therefore making fun of their circumstance isn't okay at all and it's never acceptable.
**2. Because You Are Angry Or Stressed Out Doesn't Mean You Should Take Your Anger Out On Someone Else.**
Things usually go as anticipated. Every time things don't go as planned, it's natural to be irritated. The best you can do is to work harder and learn from what had recently happened, as well as accept that those situations are natural outcomes of this extraordinary universe which we can't fully understand.
If you're actually going through this and have done it before, go ask for forgiveness from those you've wronged and adjust your attitude toward them because it will make a lot of difference in your relationship between you and the person, and I'm sure you'll notice new improvements as a result.
**3. One Day We Will All Die**
We are all getting closer to our death day with each passing day. So we shouldn't live a life filled with pride, believing we have everything already while your net worth is someone else's wristwatch, so we should live a life without thinking we're better than everyone else since one day we'll all die and appear before God, whether we're rich or not, kind or not, wise or not, proud or not.
**4. Being Rejected By Someone Doesn't Mean They Hate You Or Make Them A Bad Person**
Rejection is hurtful and can be really drain you mentally, but it doesn't mean you should make the person look terrible or think of them as someone who despises you; it's possible they told you “no for an answer" for your own good.
Obviously, you may not be able to communicate as effectively as before, but don't make them appear or believe that they hate you. If you can't stop yourself from thinking of them as someone who hates you, at the very least, don't make others around you believe that they hate you or try to make them appear to be a bad person because that's a very bad behavior.
**These are the little idea I can provide with my article this time around**
Happy New year
Thanks for reading 💙

100 years from now, things that might be illegal
Another lovely day, December have not ever ceases to astonish us; amazing things keep on happening regardless of the fact that the year is drawing to a close and the new year is just about 3 days away (not over 48 hours).
`Kindly check out my awesome sponsors that keeps supporting despite what's going on;`
Returning to the subject, I'm not sure my prediction will come true, so don't believe me totally; but, here is a list of items that might be illegal in hundred years;
**1. Use Of Bank Note**
As we can all see, we are living in the crypto era, and it will soon overtake the civilization of bank notes. There will come a moment when cryptocurrencies will be the only currency validated for payment of goods, professional services, and even payment for tickets in theatre to see a movie.
It will definitely not just happen at once but gradually it will take over till it's done and finally we will confidently say we are in the complete era of crypto currency, 100 years is like too long, within maximum of 50 years crypto would have completely take over bank notes.
**2. Means Of Transportation**
I'm not saying that people won't travel around the world, but some of the modes of transportation we use today, such as land (cars, trains, donkeys), water (ship. Boat), and air (planes, jets), may be illegal in 100 years. I'm not sure, but I believe teleportation will be the legal mode of transportation in 100 years time.
Obviously, we'd be breaking certain multidimensional rules, but I believe that by that time, everyone will have a better grasp of teleporting, and it would be the fastest and easiest mode of transportation, but I won't say safest just yet because I need to experience it first at least 😂.
**3. Privacy**
Apparently, this is true; at least for the time being, we can still enjoy some privacy; nevertheless, in 100 years, there will be no such thing as privacy since the government will have complete knowledge of everything we do, and they will know where we are at all times.
As we all know most of our personal data are out there and they are all been sold out through the apps we use and also the Google survey we partake in.
**Final thoughts**
These are some of the activities I believe would be illegal in 100 years, and while some of them may turn out to be true, others may not. There are certain things that are somewhat unlawful now but would be entirely illegal in 100 years, such as;
Cutting down of trees without using it or taking approval from the right authorities
Hunting down animals without any reasons.
Slave trade
Hopefully racism
Child marriage.

My experience using Arc8 to earn GMEE Token
Arc8 is a mobile block chain gaming app where you can play games to earn gmee tokens. I first learned about it early because I enjoy mobile games, however the early stages were for mining gmee tokens, which would be used for staking while competing against other gamers on the mobile application.
I assumed it would be easy for me to earn gmee tokens because I was good at games and learned new ones instantaneously, but once I got started, I observed there are people out there who are geniuses at certain games I thought I was really good at; however, I wasn't so lucky and lost most of my tokens that I mined by choosing to play with other gamers on the app.
`Kindly check out my awesome sponsors, while I share my experience non Arc8`
**My experience on earning GMEE token on Arc8**
With the little time I spent over there, the list of games on Arc8 are 10 in numbers and I will categorized them based on how popular they are, which is know by the number of users that participate in playing them.
Pirate solitaire ( 11.1k players)
Solitaire star ( 6.7k players)
99 Blocks (5.8k players)
Asteroids (5.5k players)
Hexonix (4.8k players)
Globo run (3.6k players)
Wizard's 21 (3k players)
Pixel dungeon (2.6k players)
Samurai Hold'em (1.7k players)
Marble dash (1.7k players)
Every single game has its tutorial part, where you can learn how to play just in case you have no idea concerning it.
****How to earn credits on Arc8****
All you needed to participate in any of the game is a “credit" which is regarded as a free currency in arc8 which is used for practice, matches and tournament and it can be obtained by;
Claiming sessions reward: this is about claiming free credits which is limited to 4 times in a day and when you come several days in a row, you receive streak bonuses.
Winning practice match: just by winning practice match, you earn free credits. Staking 5 credits you earn 10 credits, staking 10 credits you earn 18 credits and finally staking 20 credits you earn 36 credits.
****How to earn Gmee token on Arc8****
**1. Daily Task**
The first way to earn gmee token which is free is by performing daily tasks, when you join 12 matches you earn 0.05 gmee and winning just 6 matches automatically earn you 0.20 gmee.
**2. Winning In Daily Tournament**
Your practiced abilities will be put to work here, and if you're among the top ten at the end of the tournament, you will receive free gmee.
The tournament winner will receive a minimum of 50 Gmee and a maximum of 100 Gmee depending on the type of game you played and if the first 200 finishers do well, a prize will be awarded across them.
THis is how the tournament block looks like and it refreshes after every 3 hours and for you to participate in any tournaments you must have at least 30 credits.
**3. Wining In 1 V 1 Matches**
Your skill is your most valuable asset at this stage, but this time you're wagering Gmee tokens with another gamer on the app, and the winner takes it all.
Finally, they host monthly competitions on their social media to earn more Gmee tokens, and they now have a pre-season competition going on with a prize of 400k Gmee for the winner, which can be won simply by doing daily tasks and advancing up the scoreboard.
This is my limited experience earning gmee tokens using the arc8 app, although I didn't really benefit from it because I wasn't an active user for a long time. I currently have only 3 Gmee tokens due to the fact that I have lost over 2 Gmee token in 1v1 matchups.

Experiences Which Everyone Should Have At Least Once In Their Lives.
We're still celebrating Christmas, and I'm sure we're still eating turkey and chicken. With only four days until 2022, I'm sure we've all started planning for next year and setting goals, and if you haven't, now is the time to start.
`Before we proceed to topic kindly check out my awesome sponsors, they've been So good for the 4 months I have been on this platform.`
I'd like to share some very incredible and remarkable experiences that I believe everyone should have at least once in their lives, even if everything is not possible.
Though I may not be able to discuss all of the fantastic moments, I will share a few of them in this brief article, which include;
****1. Financial Security****
I believe this is the most important of all the topics I will address; to be honest, it may not be possible for everyone to experience it, but I wish the majority of people could; however, I hope to influence lives with what I have.
Though they say money can't buy happiness, financial stability is satisfactory since it means you won't have to rely on others to get what you need and, most importantly, you won't have to worry about becoming bankrupt. Money cannot purchase happiness, but it can buy a lot of things; but, without money, you cannot afford anything.
****2. Travelling Out Of Your Country****
To be honest, your country may be lovely, and you may have everything you could want and be convenient, but the sense of traveling outside of it is just incredible.
You'll learn about how people live in various parts of the country; you'll witness the good and the bad of course, but you'll also learn a lot about their culture, religious doctrine, and meet new people with fascinating perspectives, and most importantly, you'll get to explore new places
****3. A Healthy And Non Toxic Relationship****
Not everyone will go through this; some have already given up on any type of relationship because of what they've been through in the past; I don't blame them; yet, some things are expected to happen in order to make us better in case we ever have another opportunity to establish a new relationship.
You will find that those in healthy relationships have greater improvement, are less stressed, and have a strong sense of purpose simply because their connection is not unhealthy. And for those of you looking for a non-toxic relationship where they will not mistreat you, cause you anxiety, or lead you to be afraid, I believe you will find it someday.
****Final Thought****
There's still a lot of experience we're supposed to have out there, but I believe those are the handful I could provide with my article, and I'd want to add just two more, which are;
**Witnessing your favorite artiste play live;** I used to think it was a waste of money to go see your personal favourite artiste perform till I went to a buju "sorry I'm late" event, where simply seeing my favorite artiste perform brought me delight just by singing along with them. I had a great time and would go to any live event that any of my favorite musicians are hosting.
**Finding someone you really trust apart from your family.**

Things That Are Completely Normal But I Find It Weird.
We're still in the Christmas spirit, though today is boxing day which happens a day after Christmas, even though we don't really commemorate Boxing Day over here, and to be honest, I'm not sure why it's designated as a public holiday. But I'm sure there's a reason for it, because everything that exists must have a cause, according to the "rule of causality."
`Kindly check out my awesome sponsors`
There is a cause for this article as well, which indicates Albert Einstein's law of causality is 100 percent correct..... I'm sure you're already wondering why I'm writing this essay. .... The reason for this blog is because I spent Christmas in my hometown, which I talked about in my previous article, which you can read by clicking here....... In the course of a single day spent there, I learnt that people eat dogs and it's completely normal to them. https://read.cash/@Freedom007/being-a-stranger-in-my-hometown-e3bea699
So here is a list of behaviors that I find weird but that others find normal.
****1. Eating Domesticated Animals****
I'm not sure what's going through their heads, but why would you care for a dog from the time it was born until it gets matured enough, and throughout that time, I'm sure the dog would have earned your trust and, more significantly, you would have considered it a family member?
But, unbeknownst to the dog, they are all planning to take good care of it and allow it to grow old so that they can eat it. I find this strange, and I will never participate in such an activity of killing a dog that I have cared for since it was a puppy so that I can eat it there is more than enough meat available.
****2. Keeping Fish As Pet****
I never said it was bad, I just think it's weird to me, like having a pet that I can't cuddle, or talk to or even take on a walk and most importantly can't protect me in the case of emergency.
I won't deny the fact that fish are more intelligent than we think, you can teach them some awesome tricks which they would learn as time goes on, and obviously very neat and you will never bother about cleaning them which is really awesome. But for me a fish as a pet is a no, I could just go into fish farm business rather than taking a fish and keep it as a pet.
****3. Smoking And Drinking Alcohol****
for the purpose of smoking I'm still not sure why people smoke because you won't be satisfied and you'll develop health problems. I've also heard that there are some ingredients or mixtures you inhale and all you feel is hunger and you'll become intoxicated and that moment you will get involved in doing things without realizing it.
For drinking, I do drink at times before, and I've noticed that during those days I drink anything alcoholic which I don't particularly enjoy the day was always useless, and I've wondered why I would drink merely to become drunk and waste the rest of the day doing nothing.
**That concludes my list. I'm sure you all have something entirely normal that you find weird, so please share it in the comments section if you do.**

Being A Stranger In My Hometown
Yeah the day we have been waiting for has finally arrived and it's Christmas day; merry Christmas 🎄 everyone Let the lights of Christmas guide you to success and prosperity and bring happiness and peace to your life.
I'm certain you guys are all enjoying the Christmas and for me at the moment I'm tired of eating chicken or turkey, basically anything good Because I'm filled up and I don't think I can drink water for now.
`Back to my article, but before that kindly check out my awesome sponsors`
Actually, my holiday was cut short this year because my school didn't release us on time, so I made the most of it by having to travel with my grandma to my hometown of Ereke in Ondo state, after which she returned home a day before Christmas after a lengthy journey.
This mattered a lot to me because it would be my first visit to my hometown, and I was anticipating what would happen. I'm not good at making friends, but I had this impressions that People would be willing to make friends because it was Christmas, and Christmas is all about giving and loving.
My laptop screen was cracked throughout the journey because of the groceries my grandmother packed on my back pack, and she had no idea my laptop was in there. So as soon as I arrived at our destination, I promptly sat down and began looking for a place to fix my laptop and thanks to read.cash and noise.cash I was willing to pay without asking my grandmother for money. Though she wanted to pay.
It was difficult to find a computer expert because it was the Christmas season, but I was fortunate enough to come across a shop with three computer engineers, and I walked inside the shop and they were all speaking my native language, ilaje, which I could comprehend but not speak.
So they began speaking to me in ilaje, but I was surprised to find that I couldn't comprehend everything because this was pure ilaje, unlike the ilaje my grandmother speaks to me, which is a blend of ilaje and Yoruba. To make a long tale short, one of them referred to me as "omo ajéji" (which means "alien from another state") simply because I couldn't respond in ilaje and my Yoruba was not particularly fluent.
During a dialogue with someone who understood English language in the shop to determine the price which I would pay for my broke laptop, My cousin called me to confirm whether we had arrived in our hometown , so we were speaking English and some broken English during the conversation with my cousin because he doesn't really understand yoruba, and when I ended the conversation, I noticed the manager was looking at me startlingly, and what he said next frightened me.
He shouted in ilaje language; “**Tunde omà kàn ti gbè laptop was, ómà ekó ni, bà mi gbé awón alókun arà laptop wa, ati ri mugun";....** **(Which implies Tunde, someone has brought a laptop and he has just arrived from Lagos; we've seen someone we can scam today, bring only the scrap and abolish part of a laptop screen.)**
To be honest, I was baffled when I heard this, and I had no intention of saying anything, but my grandmother stepped in and blew my cover, asking me in my native ilaje language, **“ shey wan ti bà ré tun laptop ré sé " (which means have they repaired my laptop),** thus for the first time I replied to my grandmother in ilaje, although it wasn't very fluent, I just wanted those engineers and the manager to know I understood all they were saying all along.
The manager and tunde were caught off guard 😂, and their reactions were pretty hilarious. They apologized, and I forgave them, and they also gave me a discount because I was an ilaje.
This is what happened to me early on Christmas morning.
Thank you for taking the time to read this 💙.
life of a cultist
Cultists in my country, let me tell you a quick synopsis about cultism in my home nation: they live their whole lives as if they own them, and most of the time they are governed by a group leader whom they acknowledge as number 1 in ranking, who regularly gives authorizations and commands, and there's always a second in power just in case the number 1 (leader) dies, and it's undoubtedly monopolised by males over 90% of the time, with females only appearing on rare circumstances.
The popular ones in my country are the
Eiye ( bird)
Buccaneers; members are usually called alora, bucket men
Black axe; members are usually regarded as aye, axe-men 🪓
These are the three popular ones in my country but they are over 20 cultist group, but these three dominates when it comes to population and territory and the evil events that have occurred.
`Kindly check out my awesome sponsors, they have been really supportive throughout my journey here`
Through my little experience of having some as friends, they think cultist is all about protection, meanwhile when you join them, there's no escape and they always get involved with illegal activities and aim at controlling territories.
I've never encountered a cult member who is afraid of going to prisons; they do ridiculous things like drug smuggling and murder, which land them in jail, and they spend the majority of their lives there;...... That's when my inquiries enter the picture..... When will they be able to spend time with their children? ...... Their children are missing their father, who did not think of them before joining a cult or becoming a gangster.
When their parents are apprehended, their parents spend more time with their bunk mate in the prison than with their children, which is why you find children walking the streets and being labeled as thieves and con artists.... All of this is due to their so-called parents, who are cultists who were condemned to prison when it came time to care for their children.
It is almost certain that the vast majority of these cultist children will grow up to be cultists themselves. Give them two decades, and I'm sure they'll be sharing a bunk with their father in prison because they'll have grown up in the crime neighborhood where their parents grew up, and they'll have cultivated the habit of needing protection, eventually becoming a cultist learning that's the best way to get the immunity they required.
**Final Thoughts**
There's nothing like legal immunity in cultism, and it never ends, and there's something called karma in cultism, which means that if you kill somebody when you first started, they'll ultimately come after you, and if they can't locate you, they'll hunt down your family until you surrender.
In cultism, there is never harmony; when it's time to leave, they won't let you; they'd prefer you die than retire.
**The best advice I can give you;** is to not ponder about it, and if you do try to recruit, you will regret it in the foreseeable future. The ultimate goal should be to get heaven, and you can't be a cult member and deeply engaged in a series of scandals and expect to get there.
Thank you for taking the time to read this I really appreciate 💙.
Life isn't easy; people are going through a lot
This came after I had a dialogue with one of my friends about how broke he was and how he felt the world was very much against him; I was attempting to persuade him that things would get better if he kept trying and that there was always optimism; he had a hard time believing me, and at one point he simply said, "Man, you know I try so hard but nothing good happens in my life."
That got me thinking, and I started wondering how I could encourage him. After all, it's completely normal for him to feel that way; everyone faces a number of challenges, but what distinguishes one person from another is how they deal with them.
So I thought about it over and over until an idea came to me, and I decided to make something that would encourage him and others like him and I'm basically writing article on how his life changed and also I'm sharing his life story, which he gave me permission to share it but I'm not going to use his real name.
`Kindly check out my awesome sponsors before I share his story`
This began after Mr. Zach graduated from university and was still looking for work, which was difficult until he found a job as a bartender with a woman known as madam kofo, who wasn't very good at abusing people, and whether you were guilty or not, she would slap you for as long as you worked for her before she could listen to you, that's how short her impulsiveness was.
He was actually going through a lot to the point where the woman makes him thrive over until 10pm and she knows where he was living is almost a 2 hour bus ride and with traffic in our country that's another 2 hours, but my friend doesn't feel bad about it because he had no other alternatives, and he always says "at work that's where we'll know people who're serious only if your parents own the company that's when you can do anyhow."
After two months, Madam Kofo had lost all of her staff due to her behaviour and attitude, and the only person still working for her was Mr Zack, who was working because he didn't have any other options, so Mr Zack noticed Madam Kofo's behavior had changed, and all of this was as a practical matter of her looking for workers; but luckily, she found a girl willing to work for her, despite the fact that she doesn't appoint girls, but she needed a bartender so she appointed her.
Within a short time, this girl began to exhibit her true character, and if you purchased a drink of $5, she would sell it for $7 and keep the additional cash, and if you bought 10 drinks, she would insist that you bought 12. Mr Zack became fully cognizant of this over time and decided to tell her that the madam kofo is not the woman she thinks she is, and that if she nabbed her doing it, it would be her last day working as a bartender, but she refused to listen and began making excuse after excuse for why she did it, and Mr Zack's final statement was that "what is bad is bad, there's really nothing we can call it."
Mr Zack tried to warn her that this was a loyal customer and what she was doing now would prove to be fatal, and even the little money she adds on those drinks she sells won't even purchase her a house, so why is she confiscating? A few days later, she did the same thing, a customer came over to buy an alcoholic beverage, baileys, and she did what she typically does, baileys which was $10, she sold it for $15.
To cut a long story short, the customer returned to the bar and began complaining about how the bartender girl had added over $5 to his drink and that if it hadn't been for his brother who told him the main price, the argument would have escalated. In the midst of the explanation, madam kofo came by and before she could impose sanctions, the bartender girl was begging on her knees and castigating everything on economic hardship.
She didn't do anything, which fascinated Mr Zack, and before madam Kofo could go inside, something flashed into her head and she said, "But this girl just began work, how did she develop this kind of unethical behaviour?" She said confidently that Mr Zack was the one who taught her all of this inappropriate behaviour.
Madam Kofo repeatedly called Mr Zack and told him to come over before he could meet her. She tried to slap him, but Mr Zack grabbed her hand and said explicitly to her face, "Please don't try it because I'm not in the mood and I've been trying to tolerate your attitude all this time and if you try to slap me again, what will happen next won't be good at all."
That's how Madam Kofo got rid of Mr Zack, her best bartender. However, the adventure progresses in the next article.
****Final thought****
This is the first part of Mr Zack story and what I learnt from this is that; don't allow anyone to use you until you're completely worned out even though you're at your best behavior they will still want to see the beast in you.
Life isn't always easy. Even if you believe it to be true, it is never that simple for everyone. The gap between the rich and the poor is widening, and it appears to be worsening. People are going through a lot, but the wealthy will continue to put those who are less fortunate through a lot.
This is why I do my best effort to make a difference, even if it is a small one, and to aid the less fortunate by letting them know that they have someone on their side who understands their situation.

Depression at its peak
Depression is a serious Condition that may appear ridiculous until you are unable to feel anything, even on an emotional level. You often become bored with what you enjoy doing, and you have an inclination to become irritable.
You may enjoy watching movies and listening to music, but after you are diagnosed with depression, you will lose enthusiasm to view movies again, and listening to music that helps you cope with your depression will become inconvenient and time consuming.
Every day looks to be the same because you continue to perform the same things; everything emerges bleak, and you find no excitement or happiness each day; it appears as if you are re - experiencing each day.
A time will come you will get weary of sleeping and spend the day lying in bed staring at the ceiling or glancing at your phone and doing nothing positive and productive, the processed food that you can't live without will become something you don't even consider about anymore.
Even if you try to motivate yourself by doing something you enjoy, you will question whether you are wasting your time. As time flies, you develop low self-esteem, lack concentration, you lose interest in even trying to socialize with people close to you, and all you want to do is sit alone in your room and do nothing.
You won't feel desperate for food if you're depressed, and you won't realize you haven't eaten because you don't have any appetite. Probably the most disgusting part is that you won't accomplish anything everyday, you get fatigued quickly and believe that no one needs you and that you've always been a liability to others.
Most of the time, your best friend will notice what's going on and will try to help you feel better, but your pessimistic self will not be excited, and you will occasionally chase them away with your temperament, and they will continue to check on you, but you will do the same by having to chase them away with your traumatized attitude.
Even on days when you're really hungry and want to prepare and cook, the thought of getting up only to walk up to the kitchen and grab the food you want is physically demanding, so you just lie down and wait for the day to pass.
At some point, all you want to do is go for a long walk alone at night and keep walking till you get exhausted because you don't want to see anyone, and sometimes you will sleep for over 15 hours and be incredibly tired when you wake up.
**My personal thought on depression; it has 2 main categories which I would love to share;**
The first category is the behavioral symptoms. These symptoms include, but are not limited to:
Loss of interest in doing things you used to enjoy
Loss or gain of weight
Changes in sleep patterns
Non-behavioral symptoms make up the second group. The following are examples of symptoms, however they are not exhaustive:
Feelings of guilt and/or worthlessness
Difficulty thinking, concentrating, making decisions
Aches and pains, as well as headaches, that have no physical origin
Suicide attempts or thoughts of death or suicide on a regular basis.
****Final thought****
Being depressed is similar to contracting a disease that you brought on yourself, and while it can be addressed, you are the only one who can alleviate the problem yourself.
When you're a teenager, you imagine "life" to be full of happiness and prosperity, but depression is a disorder that can appear "crazy" until it's identified. Depression isn't a trend or a means to draw attention to yourself. It is a dangerous condition that can strike at any time in one's life. Depression is characterized by a depressed mood, a loss of interest, and a lack of energy.
It can happen in conjunction with other mental health issues including anxiety or addiction.
Depression has an impact on how you think and feel about yourself, others, and your situation, as well as how you think and feel about the future.
**A quick analogy to describe a depressed state of mind.**
Imagine you're a kid who can play ball, and your buddies are outside playing football, but your parents have forbidden you from going out. You will be sad but not depressed, but in terms of being depressed, your friends are playing football outside, and you really want to play, but you stopped yourself from going out to play, and you were looking out the window at your friend playing football throughout that time.
You indirectly cause depression, and you can pull yourself out of it if you can, and if you can't, encourage yourself to seek help from others.
I appreciate you taking the time to read this💙.
Genuinely you're a good person; how did I know?.
Being holy isn't enough to make you a good person; there's nothing wrong with being holy, but it doesn't make you a good person. I'm not trying to be impolite here; I always have a tale to back up my thoughts.
`Kindly check out my awesome sponsors`
My grandmother once told me of a beggar who stood across the highway 24/7. He was always there, even amid rain, sunshine, and floods, and as each day passed, he was always there, never sick.
No one ever went near him since they were afraid, therefore the best thing people can do is simply put some money they can donate to help him in a bowl that the beggar placed next him.
Until one day, when a young rich guy claiming to be holy approached him and lectured him about life, its struggles, and all he needed to be motivated again, so when this young man tried to inspire and encourage the beggar, after which he had done that he always go home to sleep after a long day.
So the rich man came by once again to try to inspire him, but this time he saw that the man was not pleased, so the rich man told the beggar not to worry because he was going to help him out and that he would be back in an hour to grab something from his house which would change his life forever.
The day passed, the rich guy forgot what he had originally offered the beggar on the street, and the beggar died two days later...... What could have caused the beggar's death? ...... He was killed inadvertently by a wealthy guy who claimed to be sacred.
The reason I claimed the rich man killed him was that, at first, the man was content with where he was, he recognized his obstacles, and he fought them all and managed to stay alive..... Once the rich man assured him that he would assist him get out of his situation, he gave up on what he believed kept him alive, believing that the rich man would help him, and the beggar died as time passed.
After a few months, the rich man discovered the beggar was no longer around, but he never found out what he promised the beggar profoundly killed him.
**The question now is, "How can I know you're a good person?"**
1. Only make promises if you are confident in your ability to keep them.
2. you help people out when they are in need and actually Not waiting to receive anything in return.
3. when you realize someone is headed down the wrong path and you try to correct them despite the fact that they are not your friends or won't listen.
4. Even if you are unable to assist someone who requires assistance, you strive to aid them by locating someone who is in a better position to assist them
**Final Thought**
The way people treat cashiers or food waiters, especially when they are at fault and yet trying to prove that customers are always right, can reveal a lot about a person's character and from there you can know whether he/she is a good person.
In general, being helpful, showing kindness, and also being willing to listen to someone who wants to share his or her impediments with you, being polite to elders and younger ones, respecting people's secrets and never making fun of them by telling others, and being always happy seeing other people happy makes you a good person.
Have you ever felt like you couldn't sleep at night or were restless or uncomfortable after doing something wrong or intentionally hurting someone? If so, you're a good person. If you're doing something with the intention of hurting someone and have no remorse or guilt and you're comfortable doing it over and over again, you're not a good person.

2022 prediction
Only 11 days till the end of 2021, and we will finally see a new year, which, of course, we are delighted to learn is closer than we thought. I'm sure we have plans for 2022, and I hope we'll be able to carry them out.
Predictions are never 100 percent accurate, however some predictions may turn out to be true. I'd like to share some forecasts with you, but first
`Kindly check out my awesome sponsors`
**1.** My initial prediction for 2022 is that read.cash and noise will become more prevalent. Read.Cash will undoubtedly have more users; as you can see, read.cash has over 79,735 active users, but I believe it will surpass 90,000 users by 2022, and most importantly, BCH will reach its highest point, which I'm sure will please everyone.
Concerning the read.cash I'm also planning to surpass the 200-subscriber milestone, and I'll make every effort to do it.
**2.** Things will get more expensive, as seen by the rapid rise in the cost of the most basic necessities of life. Foods are becoming more expensive, petrol and diesel prices are skyrocketing, and even clothing, which is a fundamental need, is becoming prohibitively expensive, therefore most prices will rise in 2022.
**3.** The wealthy will get even wealthier, while the poor will become even poorer, according to my third prediction. The wealthy will continue to accumulate more wealth by exploiting the poor because they are compensated.
**4.** 2022 will undeniably be a year of films; some major blockbusters will be released this year, and I'm sure we're all anticipating them. Let me actually recommend a handful of the most intriguing films coming out next year.
John wick 4
Spider-Man; into the spider verse 2
Doctor strange
Aquaman and the lost kingdom
Black panther
Black Adam
The flash
Batman
Sonic the hedgehog 2
Minions; the rise of gru
Jurassic world
Mission impossible 7
Thor; love and thunder
I'm a huge admirer of interesting films, and I'm sure we can't wait for the day when they're all shown in theaters.
**5.** The day we've all been waiting for will only come once in our lives. The date is Tuesday, February 22nd,(22-2-22) and the time is 22:22:22. Don't be surprised; this is an accurate prediction. I'll absolutely wait until that moment and record it with screenshots.
6. When it comes to football, the year 2022 will undoubtedly be the finest since the fifa world cup will be held in Qatar, and I'm a huge lover of football, the greatest sport ever, so I can't miss any match, especially my country's match, and I hope we win the fifa world cup this time around.
These are my few predictions for the year 2022, and while I am confident that they will come true, I cannot guarantee it.

Bad advices widely accepted (2)
I recently published the first portion of this article, in which I identified a number of commonly accepted wrong advices and explained why they are incorrect, some of which are included below.
Never to bed angry
Always be yourself
There are plenty fishes in the river
If you ask a girl out and she says no, keep trying
Money doesn't buy happiness
You're still young
To check out the reasons why I said they are bad advices click here https://read.cash/@Freedom007/bad-advices-widely-accepted-04e62d72
I would love to add more to the list of the bad advices but before I do so
`Kindly check out my awesome sponsors`
**1******. Fake It Till You Make It****
There's nothing wrong with feigning confidence; some of us aren't naturally confident, perhaps due to insecurities or other issues, so feigning confidence when you fall into this group isn't a terrible thing; you'll be more receptive to opportunities.
If you're faking it till you make it it actually depends on what you're faking. Imagine living a fake life and you're still struggling, you'll start living a phony life and spending your savings to match the fake life you're living.
Actually, if you're faking your life, nothing will change; you'll either linger worse or cause ruin to your life, and as a result, you'll miss out on many possibilities to achieve since those who genuinely want to help you will assume you're already successful, not realizing you're faking it.
****2. There's No Right Time To Have A Baby Just Do It****
This has to be the most horrifying thing I've ever heard; it makes no sense to have a baby you aren't capable of caring for; you simply want to send the baby here to suffer.
The answer is simple: don't have children if you aren't ready to take on the duty of caring for them, and avoid doing anything that could lead to you having children you can't care for.
****3. Do What Makes You Happy****
This is a fantastic saying because doing what makes you happy will ensure that you are mentally stable and in good health.
This could also be a really bad piece of advise. Have you ever considered telling a murderer, a thief, or a terrorist to do whatever makes them happy? I'm sure you can guess what happens next.
****4. Live Life Like There's No Tomorrow****
I'm sure you've heard this someplace if you're a Nigerian. Young men who make money illegally frequently say things like "enjoy life like there's no tomorrow" or "next day is unknown."
They spend lavishly their entire lives, with no savings or investments, and when tomorrow arrives, they have nothing since they squandered all of their money while they were still young.
As they grew older, they would come to regret everything they had done, wishing they could have planned for the tomorrow they had rejected because they imagined it would not exist.
****Final Thoughts****
Seeking advice is entirely fine. When asking advise from a friend or loved one who has dealt with similar issues to yours, take the time to understand what you're doing and don't try to accept the negative sides of the advice. With practice, you may develop more effective problem solving solutions, widen your thinking, and improve your decision making skills.

@Ling01 thanks for the sponsorship payment I really appreciate I hope I wouldn't disappoint you.
Bad advices widely accepted
I'm sure we've heard or seen some advise since the beginning of this year, or since the day we were born, and we've sometimes accepted it.
I'd like to provide some advise that I believe is not perfect and has implications, which are as follows:
****1. Never Go To Bed Angry****
I believe this is one of the notions I disagree with; sometimes when someone actually upsets me, the best thing I can do is go to bed early because if I stay awake, I'll be wondering about why he/she would do this to me the entire time, and I'll be crying on the inside.
You can't just stay up all night pondering about what made you upset and attempting to come up with a suitable solution while you're angry; it won't work; you need to sleep off your rage, and when you wake up the next day, your indignation will have evaporated, and you'll be able to solve the problem.
I've had days where I've been angry all day and then gotten a few hours of sleep, only to wake up wondering why such a minor event could make me so angry...... Sometimes all we need is a good night's sleep.
****2. Always Be Yourself****
This does not always work for everyone; we are not all the same; some individuals are short tempered, and you can easily elicit their rage.... Imagine encouraging them to be themselves; it's weird, isn't it?
****3. There are plenty of fish in the river****
Most people, in my opinion, misunderstand this quote. There are plenty of fish in the river is a saying that is said to someone who is of marriageable age but begins to make excuses for various reasons, which is where this phrase comes into play because there are plenty of single men and women in the world.
People make the mistake of thinking that because there are so many fish in the river, they can marry and still pursue other single people. This is completely false.
****4. If you ask a girl out and she says no, keep trying****
If a girl doesn't want you, there's nothing wrong with moving on; you'll find someone better; she can't possibly be the best in the earth.
****5. Money doesn't buy happiness****
When people ask me whether I'll be happy if I'm homeless or if I'll be happy if I can't afford basic necessities and believe money can't buy happiness, I always chuckle.
Though there are some things that money cannot buy, it is the primary source of happiness for most people. If you ask me what I want next to money, I will undoubtedly say more money.
****6. You're still young****
This has really ruined a lot of people Life z thinking they still have time to chase a lot of things and thereby relaxing more and thinking when they are older they would pursue their dreams, not knowing everything starts from the young stage.
****Final Thoughts****
We should be wary about taking advise from strangers, especially on social media; not everything works out well.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.💙
Better off being single
2021 is almost gone, and I'm not trying to be harsh with my words, but I still have to say it," most of you guys are still single 😂," are you satisfied with the way you're? ...... Out of all my friends, I'm the only one who's without a partner. We are all planning to see Spider-Man: No Way Home, which will be released in theaters on December 17th. Guess who is going alone because he's single? ..... Definitely me.
While my friends @Gaftekloriginal @Jumper-01 and a friend of mine who's not yet on read cash are going with their girlfriends, I'm hoping I make it through that day..... I'm thinking about fabricating an excuse to avoid going to the movies since they won't have my time because they'll be busy talking with their girlfriends and I'll have to be alone until the movie is finished.
The question is now...... Am I better off single?
`Before I answer that, kindly check out my awesome sponsors`
Some people enter relationships because their friends are doing so; otherwise, they would have little need to do so. What they confuse for love is actually lust, which they won't recognize until their lust has been gratified; this is one of the main causes for the recent rise in divorce rates.
For me, being single is preferable because it allows me to devote my limited free time to hobbies such as football, video games, ping pong, and going to the gym, not to mention writing articles, with no distractions. However, if I were to date someone, I would have to divide my limited free time between her and other activities.
Let's not even get started on distractions; instead, let's look at the main reasons why people date in this day and age....... Most individuals nowadays enter into relationships for the sake of having fun and wasting some of their time with the wrong person, and inevitably, one of the partners will be caught cheating, and the relationship will come to an end.
Some people enter relationships because their friends are doing so; otherwise, they would have little need to do so. What they confuse for love is actually lust, which they won't recognize until their lust has been gratified; this is one of the main causes for the recent rise in divorce rates.
****Final Thoughts****
Being in the right relationship is fantastic; a connection that is founded on more than simply lust, but also on love, trust, respect, honesty, anger management, commitment, and effective communication.
You should not be pressured into a relationship simply because your friends are in one.... And just because your friend's relationship isn't going well doesn't indicate yours will be any better.
Being single is a challenging choice since you will have to contend with numerous sins. It's never easy to be single, and it's even harder to be in a relationship.
If you haven't found a better companion yet, trust the process; if you haven't, just stay single because getting into a toxic relationship will make you regret it.

Brutal truths
Monday, December 13th, 2021, with just 12 days before Christmas, I'm sure we're all excited as the big day approaches.
There are some brutal facts that we should have been told when we were children, but most of us don't get access to them until it's too late, and we gradually live our lives without them in the back of our minds.
I'd want to share a few of the truths I've learned via experiences, friends, and strangers.
`Kindly check out my awesome sponsors before I continue`
1****. You Can't Make Everyone Happy****
It is not our responsibility to make everyone happy in the first place, and the most we can do is cheer up those who are close to us or whose lives we can improve.
The best we can do is support those in need, and if you see yourself in a position to help, please do so; if you don't see yourself in a position to help, please don't try to do something that will come back to haunt you later.
There's no point in pleasing people if you lose your worth, something important to you, or your life in the process. There's nothing wrong with being the source of someone else's happiness, but it's pointless to keep being the catalyst of such happiness if it's affecting you psychologically, physically, or emotionally.
****2. We Are All Going To Die****
The most fascinating aspect is that we have no idea when, how, or where death will strike, but it is inevitable that it will, and the question is how we will prepare for it when it does.
Essentially, life is a succession of stages; we are born, we grow up, and throughout that time we try to do as much as we can, chase our dreams, and slowly but surely we die.
While pursuing those objectives, we should keep in mind that death is near; we should live each day as if it were the last, giving it our best and making a good difference in the lives of others.
Everything has meaning for the time being and will continue to have meaning until we are on our deathbeds, at which point it will all be completely irrelevant, and we shall know the ultimate meaning of existence.
****3. You Can't Be Perfect****
The most important thing you can do for yourself is to strive to be a better version of yourself by making changes and modifications, increasing your talents and capabilities, and learning from your failures.
There is never a literal depiction; there is always a better version. Don't try to be someone you're not merely to look good in front of others; it will never succeed.
****Final Thought****
Life is too short to strive to please everyone while you are unhappy. Instead, try to be happy and content, and keep in mind that you could die at any time, and you won't know how, where, or when it will happen.
Finally, perfection is unattainable; instead, aspire to be the best version of yourself, because we all have flaws at some time in our lives.

Happiness
From my previous article pursuit of happiness which you can read from here and in the comments section some of my readers gave their own personal meaning of happiness to them and I would love to share it before I continue writing https://read.cash/@Freedom007/pursuit-of-happiness-5805d9fb
@Jijisaur explained happiness being motivated and when she's been motivated she becomes more happy to achieve her goals.
@G_lenahhh explained happiness as when someone gives her a lot of books to read or sees her parents happy, that's where she found her happiness.
@Jumper-01 explained Happiness ad seeing his friends and family happy and having a loaded account with money and Bch 😂🤝, I think that's the main reason we are here 🤑
@Seni explained the things that makes me happy are expensive😂, but sometimes she just find happiness in singing or talking to some people or being around family and also making people happy makes me Happy.
`Before I continue Kindly check out my awesome sponsors`
Some people find happiness by doing random acts of kindness for others, others find happiness by getting to watch soccer matches on weekdays, and still others find happiness by participating in sporting activities.
Some people find happiness by praising and praying to God, while others find happiness simply by going to church, and still others find happiness simply because it's Sunday and they don't have to work.
Some people find happiness simply by going to school, while others find happiness in meeting new people and experience different things, and still others find happiness in attempting to read new books.
Some people are content simply by sitting and doing nothing, while others are completely happy whenever they see food, even if they have just finished eating, and still others take happiness in cooking.
Some people are pleased when they find out that the person they love has the same feelings for them as they do, and it's not just a one-sided relationship; others are happy when they ask the girl they like out and she says yes; while yet others are happy staying single.
****Final thought****
I have mentioned different ways people accumulate their happiness but for me
I'm content as long as I'm not negatively affected by what's going on around me.
I'm completely happy because I don't care what other people reckon of me.
I'm happy when I have free time to do nothing.
I'm delighted when I'm around my buddies.
I'm always thrilled when I successfully prepare a meal and it tastes pretty good.
It makes me delighted to walk alone at night while listening to music at maximum intensity.
Receiving hugs from individuals I care about
Seeing others smile as a result of what I did
Making my siblings frustrated
Playing with a baby is a lot of fun.
When you're driving down a freeway, all you can see are animals and trees.
By chatting to myself, I am able to make myself chuckle.
Finally, the random rewarder who comes to see me every day makes me happy, and I can't forget that.
We find joy in practically everything we do, and don't forget that not all good causes people to be happy; some people are heartless and callous.
Seeing people fail makes them happy
Seeing someone having challenges makes them happy
Treating people bad makes them happy
Being delightful in people misfortunes
I hope we don't fall into this category because it's a horrible thing, and anything awful can't be called anything else. And the only two possibilities I can think of are that you are either jealous or full of hatred.
