Where is your first love?
Do you still remember the lady/guy that you promised to always love? not just a lady or guy but the first we ever said "I love you" to. No, not your mum or dad or sister. I'm talking about your former colleague, neighbors, or the one you meet on the way. Where is she or he?
Being teenagers without having much responsibility gives us a whole lot of freedom to explore our thoughts. However, this stage is a very important developmental stage where the next part of our lives will take shape. One of those features about this stage of taking crucial decisions. Some we may call miss and some we succeed. But altogether teenagers need the advice of more experienced individuals to help them make proper decisions.
It brings butterflies to the stomach each time that handsome guy in class or school expresses his love for a beautiful girl in school. And for the guy, he seems to take a notch higher above his peers as they look at him in maybe more different ways. They call him bad boy, real guy, and the soft ones call him, lover boy. For the girl, she becomes the envy of other girls like her who wishes to have that hot guy.
At some point, the feeling grows that promises that may never be fulfilled are made. You will hear words like "I'll lay my life for you", "I will die for you" or I can not live without you. After all these, and as advancement comes in life with other responsibilities, they look back to say well and realized that what they were doing was not exactly important even though they may still respect each other.
Life changes and people change too. While eventually, we get to meet that very first love, after all, we may have been through. Some of them may finally keep true to their promise and they get to open a new chapter of love in their lives. While others may never get to meet again and go on to have another chapter of love lives with other partners.
They said the first love is always the real love that we had and I have for some time now try to understand what that means. And this is what I came up with. As teenagers as we are we get to love the opposite genuinely, not for what they have as it had to do with the material stuff, but sometimes simple. For looks, brilliance, smartness, or strength. More like how our ancestors choose their partners. This is what makes the first love best in my opinion. As we grow older love becomes more transactional, which erodes the genuine sweetness of the first love.
It is even more beautiful if the person we get to settle down with for the rest of our lives happens to be the very first love that we are used to. This kind of relationship often lasts longer as fondness, genuineness, and love are real. Everyone benefits from such a relationship in the latter days. Their children are happier and loved as the couple will not always be fighting and they deal with the issues like there always have in the most peaceful and friendly ways or even better than what it used to be due to maturity. Parents won't see any need to intervene in an issue with them as they are friends and would get through it all. It gives parents peace of mind.
For me, each time first love is talked about I always thinks of best of friends. Yes, first love is best friends. Maybe not all but most are best of friends. I know after reading this article most of you wouldn't want to imagine yourselves ending up with the first love of your life probably due to some circumstances best known to you. Whatever the case may be, we must always respect ourselves at all times. It doesn't matter what cause of the fight we had is but going about to talk bad about them is bad enough.

Pollution in the city and how it kills slowly
Dear readers, my apologies for not posting an article for a couple of days now. Schools have resumed and it has taken back the time we once had, leaving us with no choice but to conform to its schedules. And hope you are having a wonderful time.
Something stroke me yesterday, on passing one of the busiest towns within my city. The scene of it was much like what is obtainable in many big cities across the globe. Given that my country is developing one as classified on the socio-economic scale, perhaps its situation as it has to do with pollution is different. Different in a sense that it is worst compared to more developed economies. The air in this town have been messed up that breathing for the inhabitants of these foul odor is a way of life. What a sorry state.
The city is the melting point of all people. Be it job seekers or employers who see opportunities for creating lucrative businesses. The need to advance individual economic status has caused a huge influx of economic migrants from the rural areas to urban centers which are the cities. No doubt, a good number of individuals who made this economic journey aways from their villages achieve their aim. But, this is not without consequences to the cities. The consequences of pollution.
Developing nations, as well as developed nations, generate toxic pollution to society. While the pollution in the developed nations is majorly from industrial pollutants, developing nations' pollutions comes from very more interesting dimensions. For developing nations, pollutants are everywhere; talk about industrial, domestic, or individual.
Development in developing countries is at a much slower pace which does not commensurate with the population growth. That is, the rate at which the population grows is faster than the pace supporting facilities available to support living are developed. Take, for instance, housing; houses in the city are few and premium which are made available for those in the middle or high-income classes. In many developing economies, there are often poorer people than there are rich or middle-income people. The quest for an improved life causes the poor to leave rural centers where they live a quite stable life. On reaching the cities they find things ways different than they know but for the need of survival and to climb higher the economic ladder, they are willing to do anything even sleeping in odd places like under bridges, uncomplete homes, places of work, or business, in the streets and open places. The list is endless.
The consequences of this lifestyle in the city are; it has turned the towns in cities into slums. People defecate in drainages and the open. They generate tonnes of waste which fills the air with awful smells. Animals become sick and die of this human pollution of the environment. The city which was supposed to be an economic sanctuary then becomes toxic. Children are not left out as with the level of pollution diseases easily spreads when it breaks. Adults too fall sick. And the expensive medical care in the city is out of reach of this class of economic migrants. They surrender to fate as they slowly die of this pollution.
Pollution also happens in the well-developed countries' cities. but while these kinds of pollution are different from those in city slums across developing nations due to more efficient management of the population and even distribution of economic developments across the nation's city, it surfer heavy air pollution. These kinds of cities are highly industrialized. The industries generate waste and release toxic foams into the atmosphere which pollutes the air. Polluted air in these cities is responsible for many lungs related diseases and in worst cases, cancer.
Pollution whether in developing or developed nations are responsible for many life-threatening diseases which slowly kill us.
Why you should always keep fit

I'm in no way saying some people don't get busy on the weekend too, No! No! There are sure so many people working hard this weekend and I say to you all God bless your hard work.
Like it is always and now, it is about health. As a student physiotherapist, I care so much about seeing people living the best of life in health and wellness. Often, we ignore the little things that should improve our general well-being for one reason or the other. Surely, every reason for not being able to cope with the demands of our health is legitimate. However, it is the discipline and resolve to move our situation from where it is to where it should be that makes the whole difference.
Even though we can mention some of the benefits of keeping fit the list that is not mentioned can be lengthy. And in this article, we will be showing you why you should always keep fit. Does that interest you? Then, hop on, and let's get deeper into the topic. Fitness in layman's terms is giving your body and system the ability. Ability to do what? Ability to free itself from any agent that may want to cause it dormant and win its freedom. It is this state of freedom acquired that gives you the fulfillment you enjoy. With this freedom, you can walk without cramps in your muscles, climb stairs without your heart feeling weak, or your body not being unable to confront some diseases that can ordinarily be kicked out by boosted immune.
Now, let's see why you should always keep fit:
1. It boosts the Immune system;
With a boosted immune, our bodies can counter just any kind of disease, keeping us safe and sound.
2. Improves cardiovascular health;
When we stay fit, our hearts thank us for it. Especially during exercises, veins pop open and more blood is pumped throughout the body enriching the system with oxygen. With fitness, the risk of cardiovascular disease is reduced.
3. Keeps you fresh-looking;
You know, keeping fit through regular exercise keeps us looking good and fresh because our metabolic activities are increased causing the body to use the food we eat more effectively.
4. Keeps you looking younger;
We are all surely going to get old but some will get old beautifully than others. With fitness, it is very possible for a forty or fifty years old to look twenty-five.
5. Improves beauty;
Yes, if you're already beautiful as a lady, then keeping fit makes you more beautiful, and for a guy, he becomes more handsome. They become more attractive to the opposite gender.
6. Boost our self-esteem;
When we are fit, our skin looks good, fresh, and healthy. This gives us confidence which improves our self-esteem.
7. Relieves stress;
A very good way to wade oneself from stress is fitness. Indulgence in activities that improve fitness relieves worries that contribute to burning away our stresses.
8. Boost mental health;
During fitness activities, our bodies use more oxygen as the body circulates more blood throughout the system. Our brains use most of this oxygen which helps them to repair damages thus boosting mental health.
9. Life becomes more enjoyable;
When we are fit, we get more fulfillment of life and vitality. But, why not? Given that in fitness, we are free of disease or even thrive well in a state of abnormalities. It brings enjoyment to life.
10. Thriving in the state of disease or abnormalities;
When we are fit, diseases are better to manage and we are always at low risk, compared to those not quite fit. Therefore, with fitness, we can thrive in diseases or abnormalities.

Tips to Stay healthy always
Hello, my spacious viewers, commenters, and subscribers. It is a beautiful Wednesday evening here in my country Nigeria and like I would always wanna ask because I care, how are you all doing today?
As a newbie and not having sponsors yet, I still want to say hello to my potential sponsorers too.
The topic at hand today has got everything to do with health. When I say health, I mean, your health, my health, and our health. Like it is with everyone, it takes a whole lot of deep thinking to come about this title. It now seems there is a rush to puck all the catchy headings there is. However, that only demands us to be more creative about choosing titles for posts.
It is no need to remind us how important health is and do all we can to improve wellbeing. We certainly can't do anything in a state of poor or compromised health. Not even holding up our phones to see notifications on read.cash if the random rewarder has tipped you yet. Knowing this, then it rests on us to seize responsibility for our health.
Understandably, good health or staying healthy can be expensive. But, that doesn't mean we shouldn't seek ways to acquire proper health care services. What made health care expenses is not exactly the amount paid over the counter to acquire a service. It is the constant effort we invest to improve the quality of our health.
This post aims to give you tips on how you can stay healthy always without necessarily spending huge sums to keep good health. Before giving you the tips, I would appreciate it if you click on the subscriber button. And drop your comments to tell me what you think about the tips on staying healthy which I will be rolling out.
So, are you ready? Let's go!
Tips to staying healthy always
1. Eating healthy foods:
Our everyday busy schedule and having to hit appointments and commitments very early in the morning, get us out from homes and even return late without allowing us the time to make quality meals. This leaves us with no choice but to patronize junk foods just to keep us going. Junks are unhealthy to the system and why they may seem to be the options available, we must strive to cook meals at scheduled times so that we always have a quality meal as at due. It also saves costs, cooking your meal, then buying unhealthy, costly, junks.
2. Exercising regularly:
Exercise has been proven on the medical ground to improve fitness and health. It boosts the body's immune to counter diseases. Our cardiovascular health is not left out because our hearts smile at us each time we exercise. Veins pop open and carry more blood to every part of the body. Exercising regular causes us to age, less and look beautiful always because we are healthier and fit.
3. Eating fruits/vegetables:
Fruits and vegetables contain very important vitamins and elements that help boost the body's biochemistry. Eating fruits and vegetables improves the proper functioning of the body.
4. Keeping good Hygiene:
This is a point we must keep to always. Good hygiene does not just tell about our cleanliness, it wades off disease-causing organisms. The fewer germs are around us, the better our bodies are to fight diseases when they surface. We must endeavor to keep good personal hygiene and on the surroundings too if we care to live healthy always.
5. Keeping a good relationship with people:
Yes, keeping a good relationship with other people boosts our emotional health. It keeps us free and encourages us to be happy always. Happiness has a good effect on our health.
6. Going on vacations:
After a while of being glued to work, there is a need to take time out, go for vacations, visit places and enjoy time with friends. Vacation reduces stresses from work and would help you rejuvenate before coming back to work. After vacations, it causes you to develop a sound mind and attitude towards work because you are stress-free. A stress-free life is a healthy one.
Thank you, for taking the time to read my post.
I'm a newbie. Try not to laugh (Russia and USA)
Hello friends, it is so warm meeting you today. I'm new to this platform and would like to make so many friends as possible. It would be nice if you drop a comment to say hi, and just hit the subscribe button to start this friendship journey.
Guess what is installed for you in all of these? It is sure going to be loads of fun. And I bet you wouldn't want to miss a bit of it. Well, I'm no comedian but maybe we can still laugh about a thing.
Before I tell you the story I'm about to, let me relate to you an experience between myself and a friend on joining read.cash. He joined the platform long ago and I happened to pass the night at his place to relax a bit from a journey I was making throughout the previous day. After all the merry for the night, I went to bed, so tired but couldn't sleep, even though I will be continuing the journey the next day. We got talking about different ways to earn, then he talked about read.cash and how he is already reaping from it. That was in November 2021. Well, I didn't join the platform, or maybe let's say I never took it seriously at first. But seeing him earning for real on it, I decided to jump in it today.
I'm a bit not sure exactly how I was going to start. Waking up this morning and thinking about what article to publish as my first was really tough. Sure, I did come up with this one and do hope it thrills my viewers. So, if you find yourself reading this post, maybe you should tell me what you think about my first post on read.cash. And thank you as you do that.
That was by the way. Okay, let me tell you something. And I would want you not to laugh. Just try not to. Once upon a time, two powerful leaders of two countries were in a meeting. I don't want to mention the names of these leaders but I'm going to say their countries. Hmmm, it is Russian and the USA. It is no need to remind us of the constant friction between these two nations ever since the end of the world war. The quest to outsmart each other in technology and the military might grow stronger by the day. The argument about who would win a war if ever such encounter happens will forever go on. But war is never what any should look forward to or even wish. It may look beautiful, the war machines display by both nations now and then. But until they are tested in a real war, we may never know the degree of destruction that may come.
In a bid to enhance their country's relationship, they were both attended a meeting to negotiate ways to de-escalate tension between both nations and chat a peaceful course. Suddenly, the negotiations turn tense, and there were heated arguments. Soon after, it degenerated and there were verbal exchanges. These were the exchange between Russian leaders and the USA:
Russian; your head is as ripe as Chinese potatoes.
USA's; Oh really! Did your citizens tell you your face is as white as the snow in winter?
The exchange continued until one of the leaders released gas because he was speaking forcefully. Although you wouldn't expect such gas to smell much due to the well-ventilated atmosphere but the gas was powerful that the odor could not die away easily.
For a moment, they paused and steer at each other in silence. Soon, the banters resumed.
Russian; I know you did it.
USA; No, you did. I can perceive the odor coming right from your butt.
Russian: seriously?
USA; yes!
Russian; Okay, let's find out. Turn around let me smell your butt.
USA; Okay!
The confirmation started with the USA leader. And immediately the Russian leader brought his face closer to confirm, he had a hot release to his face. And this ended the argument. They both smiled back to their palaces.
Hey, I told you guys not to laugh. And hope you kept to that?
Thanks for reading guys!
