Thank you for the compliment

The month of May started so well and on an amazing ground for my family. The beginning of a new month started on a Sunday and it's that moment to spend with God with other brethrens. We prepared our meals as usual before taking our bath and we all got dressed ready for Church.

My cousin took shots of me and my sister who is the last born while we trekked to church that wasn't up to ten minutes walk from home. The service had just started a few minutes after Sunday school and there were still a few programs to take before praise and worship.

The praise and worship started and it was just fifteen to twenty minutes before we moved on to another program on the pamphlet we were given. I paid attention to everything being done yesterday in the church, and when it was 12pm and there was no sign that the service would be ending soon, because they were doing a send-off party for a pastor that was transferred from our church after spending six years with us. It made the service longer.

I stood up and signaled to my sister to follow me so she could take some shots of me before leaving the church. Getting outside, I met my brother and was about to go home too. He also came around from school since the strike is still going on in the country. My sister went back to church while I told my brother to snap me which he did and we left for home together.

Grandma as usual sat down in the sitting room waiting for us as she knew service would be ending and this has always been what she does every Sunday since she stopped going to church. When everyone returns from church, we all would pray together and serve our meals. I ate my food while I made a post for my Hive account.

I took some shots and posted on my WhatsApp status but a guy had to comment saying I am short. That wouldn't be his first time saying it and I didn't want to get annoyed at him but I smiled and replied "Thank you for the compliment". I don't know why some people are just like that. He knows I am short and continuously repeating it is what I don't like.

I have always been someone who thinks I am not beautiful and would always be sad all the time. Many times I have tried to ask why God made me who I am but it's a way of blaspheming Him and saying "God, you did an awful job in creating me". We all are wonderfully and beautifully made by our creator.

I have come to realize that if you don't love yourself the way you are, no one will. If you don't place yourself as a quality brand, no one will notice you. If you do not see your true worth, people will look less at you. The way you see yourself is the way others will see you.

Just like a marketer marketing his business and adding a big value to his brand or product which makes customers rush in to taste it. So, you are a marketer and your product is you. Give a high premium on yourself and people will value you. These are what I have come to understand in life and in a way boosting your high self esteem.

So, if someone thinks I am short, yes I am and I am never gonna complain again because God has His reason for creating me that way. He could have made me a tall being, but what do I think would have happened if I was a tall person?

So, remember to place high value on yourself because you are expensive and worth it, don't allow anyone's criticism over your creation brings you down. God has a purpose for the way we are created.

I went to sit with my brother outside while I was busy doing some videos on Snapchat and he showed me the video of the lady that went viral who slept with a dog. I watched the video and that was so disgusting.

Olasquare said something in his post when I read it that he didn't know dogs have the energy to make a lady scream. I smiled and commented that there are things we learn and if such didn't happen, we won't know another fact about dogs 😂😂😂 So, in one way, we get to learn facts about life, animals, and human beings. Include that in your list of facts today.

Just because of 1.2 million naira, she made a mockery of herself by sleeping with a dog. She even went bold asking if we had seen such an amount of money before and was still claiming that what she did was better than killing a soul. Whose mother would see such and be happy? That is so unheard of, but the Bible already told us we are in perilous times, so don't be surprised if more should happen.

How much is the money that she wouldn't spend even in a few days? I pity her because I don't think she would have someone to settle down with after sleeping with a dog.

Thanks for reading
