Applied Christianity Hola friends. How's it going? Hope you went to church? I did and it was wonderful seeing that I hadn't attended in a while. I actually went early, so as to meet the first service, bcos I really don't like spending so much time in church, that I lose sight of why I'm there. So, you can imagine my surprise when service actually started when the first one should have been ending. It was then I got the idea. Obviously the two services had been merged into…

No End In Sight When I got admitted into the university after taking the entrance exam the second time, I thought I had taken a significant step towards changing my life, and it ought to be. I don't know about other students whom I like to think unfortunate today, to have ended up in the federal tertiary education system, but it don't feel that way anymore. I got a course of study that was supposed to last five years and thinking today, I realised I've technically spent more…

Read.Cash And Me I've been trying to examine my relationship with read.cash all day. As a matter of fact, I'm thinking it's bothering along addictive. You know, read.cash is a wonderful platform for a lot of reasons and I appreciate it so. Some of those reasons include: **Self-Expression** It's a platform that allows you to express yourself in ways that you can't do with people, virtual or present, without feeling weak, less or vulnerable. In a manner of speaking, it offers…

Live Life Your Way You see, the world is such a wonderful place for so many reasons. Sometimes, I look at the way men live and I can't help but wonder why they feel so arrogant, just because they are at the top of the food chain. For as long as I can remember, I've been told how to live an appropriate life, for the lack of a better combination of words. Growing up, through all the different mechanisms of education in this giant system of indoctrination called parenting and…

Relationship Talks It's been another long day for me folks. Hope your day was great? Mine was productive but hectic. I should be sleeping already, but I just have to write something, even though I'm completely drained, so I'll go for something quick, short and simple. This draft has been in my wps app for weeks now. I don't even remember anymore the person who first posted about it here. If you're the one l, please forgive me for not mentioning you. Guess it's time to post…

Shine Your Light There is a lot of darkness in the world that we live in today. If you really can't see that darkness, it's either one of two reasons, the light around where you are us so bring that you can't see the dark or you are just so oblivious to the darkness that you can't see it at all. When I say darkness, I don't mean literal absence of light, I'm talking about all the hate and pain and wickedness that is everywhere in the world today. I can't really say that this…

Read.cash And Me 2.0 I have been thinking about what to write and I'm finding it hard to come up with something, so I thought I might as well lay out the rest of my thoughts on this unfinished topic. You can find the 1.0 **here** https://read.cash/@Methion/readcash-and-me-68d3c8d8 I've detailed some of the benefits hence reasons that makes read.cash a place to be, but that isn't all there is to it though. The truth is there are always more then one side to a thing and…

Don't Ask Depending on who's looking, today marks the end or beginning of another week. I can help but think about how most people are just going to do all over again, the exact same thing they did last week, last month, last year etc. The unending cycle and to what end? I don't know, just thinking out loud. Okay, I know that's a lazy and somewhat sad way to start an article, but like always, was just trying to be honest as it is in my head. So, earlier today, I got caught…

Reality Vs Imagination I have finally come to the realization that, what I've been going through this past few days is what is known as writer's block. Before now, I was thinking or choose to see it as an extension of my emotional state, which was and is still going through a stretch, but I admit it to be what it is now. Naturally, due to that I find it hard to write. It's not like I find it hard to pick a topic or get the materials needed to write about it, the problem is…

Get Even Or Get Over It?? Again, I got home pretty exhausted, seem like that is my new normal these days and what's funny about it is that I'm not even working or anything for myself. I've spend most of the last two week running errand for my folks who seem to have no idea how exhausting it's becoming for me. I could say no to them, but the likelihood that they will understand is almost zero. One of the biggest problem I have with this is that when I'm physically drained to…

A Harrowing Experience: Prison Life I just read a harrowing experience about a lady who was poised to make it big in the banking industry but got into big trouble due to carelessness. So, here it is. Back in 2003, Annabel (not real name) had a flourishing banking career in one of the new generation banks. Due to her outstanding performance and dedication to duty, she was rewarded by the bank with rapid promotion. With fat pay cheque as a branch manager and family vacation…

Knowing My Personality There's this 30-day challenge thing that stumbled upon when I read @Ellehcim article a few days back. I really found the question interesting. She should be on her day four by now, you might want to check her out. I've decided to also take,up the challenge. Of course, I won't be doing it on a streak, but I intend to go through all of it. I'm starting off today with the first question there, which is all about personality. Describing my personality it's…

Relationships Rambles Sometime yesterday, I was scrolling through my WhatsApp status when I came across a status post and it really got to me. I was like 'that's my article for today'. I'm not saying you should take it, as I'm not a relationship expert, I'm just saying the little I know. **Trust, Then Love** One of the first criteria for a relationship is love, at least that's what the movies make it look like and that's great too. But what most people call love,that feeling…

Why Musk Is A Concern We all are aware of the whole Twitter drama that has been ensuing for some time now. If you don't, you can read @CyberCrypto **article** to be informed. A look at the whole Twitter deal situation, as it would be with any other big firm, will show that a lot more people stand to be affected by this situation. If you think I'm talking about the millions of Twitter users, you're wrong; not that they aren't important, but they will always find an…

I'm Getting Tired A few weeks ago, things were beginning to get better for me here on read. My earnings seemed to be improving in tandem with the marathon interaction I was doing. I was beginning to feel hopeful, a feeling I've tried not to have, so it doesn't hurt when it fails. This was only possible because I got my hands on a phone to be using, but that wasn't going to last, I should have known better. Sometimes, I wonder who I might have offended that probably cast a…

Do What's Right (Part One) The time for the general elections in Nigeria is upon us again and while the candidates are busy jostling around Nigeria trying to clinch their different parties' tickets for the different offices, another theme is being discussed amongst the populace, and it's that of voter's apathy. The level of voter apathy in Nigeria is quite alarming, we all know that. Over the years, there have been measures to try and eradicate or reduce it and for good…

Do What's Right (Part Two) One of the most talked-about topics in Nigeria in recent days is getting your PVC. You would think that the increased interest in getting the PVC amongst Nigerians as a result of sensitization by NGOs and CSOs, is to exercise one's franchise, but sadly it's not. Amongst the youths, the prevailing reason is to have an internationally accepted identity card for verification purposes online. As we know, the majority of online platforms that ask for…

Dark Childhood Memories Interestingly, I don't remember much of it. I don't know why. Maybe there isn't much to remember or there was a traumatic experience that I was trying to block out, so I suppressed everything, I don't know. But I do remember it in bits and pieces. The most prominent memory of my childhood that has stuck with me has been the circumstances of my birth and my near-death experience(s). The birth part is more of a story I was told and I built a memory out…

Cherophobia Is Real I was reading @Peter-Molnar 's article about four days ago when he talk about Cherophobia. According to him "While many people might think that fear of happiness seems silly, for some it's a very real and debilitating phobia. Cherophobia can manifest itself in many ways, such as an aversion to Christmas or other holidays, parties, and other social events. Those with the phobia may also feel uncomfortable when others are enjoying themselves or display an…

Trusting Wrongly Or A Genuine Mistake? I don't know which is best, not trusting people at all or trusting people by default and hoping for the best? I've tried both and they've had their days when I came to regret them. As of now, my strategy is to trust you but still expect you to misuse that trust eventually. When you do come around to doing that, I don't feel so hurt or surprised. Since I came back from my industrial training and attachment, I have not had a chance to go…
