FINDING YOUR INNER VOICE

Imperfection, a flaw or a curse?   WHY?? This is totally unfair, take a look at Kemi, or Tolu or even Nkechi, they all seem perfect with no flaws or problems to worry about. They all have amazing boyfriends, and they can travel anywhere they want, it is just so unfair. What exactly did I do wrong? Why is nothing exciting happening in my life, I barely even have a good job, I am so sad right now, I do not even have a manly shoulders to lean on, but I want that so badly, why do guys not notice me, am I cursed?

All About the Nigerian Writer; Her Story and Her Reality This life is a Performance that, if not properly documented, will fade away and be forgotten forever.  It's a superhero story in which, fortunately, everyone is a character with a specific role.  My role in this play is that of a Nigerian writer who is here to tell her story and her reality. My role is that of a writer who tries to imagine that her fears are also the fears of others and would like to voice them out through writing.  In this performance called Life, I am a simple girl, not sophisticated, not complicated, shy, and scared of disappointments. I tell myself daily that I am a good person. I say it like an anthem. " But I am a good person, but I am a good person ". I always say these words and accept them with all my heart. But the real question should be, ' What if I am not? What if I am the worst person ever?' ----------------------- Every day, people fight with their fears, hopes, and aspiration...

The Power of Giving: How Helping Others Brings True Fulfillment and Joy I have a Facebook friend whose mission and greatest joy is to put a smile on people’s faces. At first, I didn’t know who he was, but one day, I came across his post, and I had an overwhelming feeling that he was a kind and genuine person. Months later, I realized my instinct was spot on—his true aim was to help those in need, especially the less privileged, live better lives. This filled me with a sense of excitement I couldn’t explain. Here was someone who shared my values and believed in kindness like I do. Although I don’t have much—sometimes it feels like I have nothing— I’ve always wanted to give and  make a difference in people's lives. I often pray for God’s blessings, not just for myself, but so I can bless others. My life has been a testimony to the power of giving and kindness. People have shown me immense care and support in many ways, making me feel compelled to pay it forward. If people...

DAVE -  Do Anything Very Easily: Finding Light in Darkness My mother left me alone at night With no care, with no light All I want is to hold her tight And wake up in the morning all happy and bright.
