Alien Introduction. **Topic: Alien introductions: You are confronted by an alien being sent to Earth to gain information to take back to his planet. He asks you to explain three things as follows...** Alien invasion 😂 that's what I would call this. This is another question that I did justice on from the "**Weekend Experiences**" community on Hive.

Three Tune Tuesday Week 61 - Be Happy. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/turned-on-black-samsung-smartphone-between-headphones-1337753/ My Tuesdays stopped being ordinary since I found out about Three Tune Tuesday which is about exploring songs that made my childhood fun and exciting. I am always more than happy to recommend these songs and a little story behind them as well while sharing my perspective as to what I think of the song. I decided to go with happiness…
Nickname. **Topic:** **Do you have a nickname or pet name given to you by someone else? What is it and why were you given it? Or, have you given someone else a nickname that stuck What is it and how did they earn it?** Ah... Finally... I can share the meaning of my nickname and the ones I've given to others except for one person's own which I won't share yet 🤣🤣🤣😂😂🤣. I'm very good with giving nicknames, they just come naturally to me. I am very good at observing and also…
Pub With Tribe. I am always a fan of pub questions because it's like a peep into the way I think and how I see things. I always enjoy engaging in them because I love opening up more. I do that more when I'm asked questions. Here are some of the pub questions I dealt with. **Give your best tips in three attempts - What a newbie should do to share good content.** **1. Engagement:** You cannot share good content without engaging others. Engaging others means sampling different…
Complaint and Compliment. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/collage-photo-of-woman-3812743/ **Today's Topic:** **Complaint and compliment: What is the biggest complaint you have about a person in your life? Also, what is the biggest compliment you could pay the same person? In each case explain your answer. Your family are excluded from this writing suggestion.** **Complaint.** I am someone that observes a lot and it takes me a long time before I would complain if I…
Purge Yourself. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/healthy-light-fashion-person-4456737/ We have been shaped by the things we have been exposed to over time and we need to purge ourselves of certain things if we want to experience real growth. We can't desire change and keep doing things the way they used to be. Some things need to change and that's what we are to unlearn and relearn a lot of things. Holding on to our ways without opening up to learning would always…
Purge Yourself, II. This is the second and last part of this two-part series. If you missed the first one, kindly read about it here: Purge Yourself. I shared 4 ways we can purge ourselves - by letting go of those things that have limited us for so long. https://read.cash/@Olasquare/purge-yourself-06d6d60a **So, how do you purge yourself?** Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/a-scrabble-tiles-quote-on-a-white-background-7803022/ **1. Make a choice.** Being better and…
Three Tunes Recommendation. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/crop-man-with-wired-headphones-in-studio-3771842/ Music is powerful, it has the opportunity to heal and to give a better perspective. Many people have used it to show their intention, speak of love, and share their struggles and most people have used it to explain their side of a story so the audience can have a better understanding which might have gotten lost during a media interview. Songs are powerful…
I Am Dynamic. I was told to explain and describe myself in 500 words. I am not the type that loves blowing my horn. It's not for lack of confidence but some people find it strange when I tell them that I can be shy too. They tell me I can't be shy due to my personality of always disturbing people and being humorous. Well, sometimes I am, especially when I have to "hype" myself or speak about some random acts of kindness I've done. I get to speak about myself mostly when I'm…
Pub Questions... Another Pub discussion and I always enjoy answering these questions. It's another fun for me because of the uniqueness and the mixture of the questions being asked. Let's do this...I am sure you will enjoy the questions and the answers. They are not limited to me, so feel free to answer them too. **What does your perfect day look like? When would you say you had a great day?** Every day is a good day and a perfect one too depending on how you see it and what…
Wrong Motive. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/wedding-rings-916344/ I always say it, a relationship is not by force. You would marvel at some strange reasons why some people want to get married. It would make you doubt if they know what they are getting themselves into and it would make you question their sanity. We all need to understand that being in a relationship requires a lot of commitment and some basic understanding. Now, moving to marriage, you need to…
Wrong Motive, II. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/wedding-couple-taking-a-traditional-ceremony-758898/ I have heard many people say they want to get married because they have held on for so long and would love to have sex. As much as sex is part of the total package of marriage, which should never be your only reason. When situations happen and reality stares at you in the face, then you will know that marriage is more than sex. I have heard many people say they…
Stop It - Live and Learn. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/close-up-shot-of-keyboard-buttons-2882510/ We are humans and it is natural for us to make mistakes but we need to own up to those mistakes if we are to grow. A lot of people spend more time trying to cover up their misdeeds rather than owning up to those mistakes. In life, either deliberate or not deliberate, we will hurt each other but the moment that person points out what you have done wrong, stop…
Three Tunes with Slow Emotions. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/photo-of-man-holding-microphone-949274/ I see music as art, as we use words to carve out every inch and paint a beautiful rainbow with our emotions. You can't love music and not appreciate art. Just as they say that whoever opens their eyes while kissing isn't giving the kiss the attention it deserves, I would say whoever just listens to music for the sake of listening doesn't understand the artistic…
The Club1BCH Fantasy Football... It wasn't a pleasant experience for me in the opening week and it's understandable because the season is just starting and most teams haven't taken the shape yet. I just decided to go with my gut feeling and it was average at best because nothing spectacular happened. Before I delve right into that, the KONRA and #Club1BCH Fantasy League is on and you should kindly join. First, pick out your team and fill this Google document to be listed:…
Doubt Weakens Your Faith. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/distressed-woman-sitting-on-lakeside-and-touching-face-in-despair-5542905/ God cannot be tempted but when the Bible tells us that the Israelites tempted God, then you should understand that they did a grave thing. The same thing with the same passage that says they limited God. How can a limited man limit the unlimited God? It means God wants to do great things with them and for them but with their act of…
Do Better. Image Source. https://www.flickr.com/photos/nenadstojkovic/48988152882 Life tries to get under our skin and get us down but then we need to keep our head above the waters. There are different ways by which people end. Some people end "so-so"; all they want to do is just to finish anyhow. They are not bothered about how things end, all they want to do is just to end the year anyhow and get through the year. They have been accustomed to a lot of heartaches during…
No Lingering Tears, No Regret. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/dramatic-tattooed-male-sitting-at-piano-3760269/ *Sometimes I wish I waited a little longer* *Often times I wish I could go back in time* *I wish I had the opportunity to change some things* *I wish I never had to go through some things which I did* *Well, if wishes were horses, even beggars would ride* *I wish I can close my eyes and bring a halt to that tide* *I just wish for every trouble that shows…
Impactful Life. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/business-quote-on-white-background-7661288/ I want to believe everyone wants to live a life of impact, or most people want to. To avoid generalizing I would say, I love to live a life of impact. I would rather live a day and touch many lives than live a hundred years and not be remembered by anyone for having impacted a life. There is always this joy from within when you know you are making a difference in the life…
I Can't Understand... Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/man-working-using-a-laptop-2696299/ **Topic:** **Below is the beginning of a sentence which you need to finish. Explain what the thing is and why you answered as you did.** ***"I don't understand people who..."*** I don't understand people who react rather than respond and after the dust settles they have no decency to apologize. As humans, we always want to find excuses for our actions and of course, I've done…
Your Perspective Matters. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/brown-wooden-view-deck-2260038/ Life comes with ups and downs which is a statement of reality which I am sure most people would have experienced. Life has its way of getting to us and sometimes getting us down but we cannot afford to keep our heads buried like an ostrich in the sand. We need to soar like an eagle because we can always bounce back only if we choose to see things differently. Our perspective…
It's Not Rehearsed. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/sorrowful-black-man-touching-head-in-dismay-near-supporting-wife-5700186/ No pain cuts so deep as the one where you lose a loved one. You have memories flowing in your head all at once. You feel overwhelmed with the emotions and you get lost in the moment. I visited a family many years ago that lost the head of their family; the father. It was a dull gathering with everyone trying to deal with the pain in the…
Give Me Character, Please. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/upside-down-photo-of-a-woman-1821095/ There was a time a lady walked past me and a guy while we were discussing and the guy beside me muttered, "***This lady is beautiful***". I heard him and I smiled slightly. I knew he would bring it up again because he is the type that would always go over stuff in excitement. He looked at me and said, "***Can’t you see how beautiful that lady is?***". I said, yes, I…
Poetry. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/man-in-white-shirt-writing-on-a-paper-3780003/ I love my poems in simple form as most would have noticed and that's what I want people to relate to the most. I want people to understand in simple terms and then explain it the way they can in their heads and on their terms. I like making it relatable and with rhymes too. It doesn't have to be complicated and with big words. Most people run away from reading poems because they…

Relationship 201. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/man-and-woman-near-grass-field-1415131/ We are shaped by our experiences in life. What we have been used to over time has a way of staying with us in the positive or the negative. You have to be smart and considerate when you are in a relationship. You need to go into it with your head as well as with your heart because a balance is needed - You can’t be too emotional and be detached from reality and you can’t be…
Relationship 202. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/man-and-woman-in-brown-leather-coat-standing-on-brown-soil-984946/ The moment he dropped the call, he called his mother and the mother went to his house to get him to the hospital. At the hospital, the mother called this girl and started threatening her. She called her all sorts of names and even threatened to wipe away her family if anything ever happened to her son. She called her a gold digger who wanted to kill…
Fantasy Premier League Week 4 Review. I don't know if this **Fantasy Premier League** is for me 😂🤣😂🤣. I am tired already because these players are getting on my nerve and just when you take them out, they start performing and the ones you stick with, they are not doing justice to their inclusion 🤣🤣😂. I am about to make some bold changes for **Game Week 5** and I don't mind if I am docked some points while at it. I just want to get some players out and focus on certain…
Human Ways. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/people-on-sidewalk-selective-focal-photo-1687093/ It baffles me to see humans behave in ways you never deemed possible. Well, maybe we sometimes expect too much of certain people and when they finally come short, it gives me this look of disappointment. It's a popular statement we say here in Nigeria that it's painful when you expect wisdom from someone but you are met with foolishness. It disappoints and hurts deeper…
Human Ways, II. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/group-of-people-enjoying-music-concert-325521/ We can’t change anyone and that is what most people need to understand. They feel offended when someone didn't take their advice or listen to them. Rather than hold someone by the shirt to be heard, you had better hold your tongue than them. We can suggest and advise, but the decision is entirely left to them to accept and change, based on the information they have been…
