FORCED LOVE

                                           

The more I look and think about this title, the more confused I become.  How can love be imposed on someone? It baffles me a lot and I honestly do not think such love will ever see the light of the day.

Love is simply a feeling that comes and flows naturally from within, no body have the power to control the emotion and striving forces of love that is natural.  Same applies to forced love because, people around will vividly notice that the feeling is not natural and mutual.

Nevertheless, love is natural and unconditional and simply not “a four letter word with so much strings attached to it” like some people I have come across would say.  Love should therefore, be allowed to flow freely between two consenting adults and not to be forced based on several inconsiderate and conditional grounds.

MY FAVOURITE CAT IN THE HAT BOOK IS “COOL CATS”

                                            

Yes, you are not mistaking, what you are looking at is actually a cartoon not a book because, I do not read cat in the hat books, although, I enjoy the “cool cats” cartoon movie because, it is funny and mind relaxing.

Moreover, whenever I feel like I need some fun and relaxing moments to forget about the serious circumstances life itself presents, I tune on to cartoon network when it is time for the cool cats and savor the moment.

Nonetheless, the “cool cats” is very interesting for people who actually love cat in the hat related books, movies or cartoons.  Yes I know I was pretty boring on this one, well I guess is because, I am not really a fan of cat in the hat.

WHY I HAVE CONVERSATIONS?

                                   

Having conversations for me is a way to get my message across, make my point known and share my opinion about something.  I often feel the need to converse with people because, i can hardly stay silent when something is bordering me.

Therefore, conversing with people when i am troubled is a way of setting myself free, when i share my worries, concerns and opinion with people around me, i feel like a load has been lifted off my shoulders.

In order words, conversation is very essential for me because, at every point in time, i have one or two things that needs clarification and am sure we all do at some point. After all, life is living, loving and learning and the latter demands conversation for learning to be reached.

WHY DO PEOPLE THINK PR IS ALL ABOUT PARTYING?

                                         

Public Relations from my understanding entails the building and sustenance of a mutual long term relationship between an organisation and its stakeholders, it could also be regarded as reputation management from a different perspective.

Now, how that constitutes partying and clubbing is what I do not understand and as a matter of facts it baffles me.  I got into a discussion today at school with some IT students and they were of the opinion that, public relations students are idle people and party freaks.

Although, the impression they have about public relations may be as a result of the calibre of public relations students they come across. That goes on to illustrate how relevant it is to understand what you are doing and be able to defend it in public because, however you portray yourself out there will determine the impression people will have about the entire organisation or department you represent.

THE ENDLESS CHAIN OF PARENTAL TRAITS

                                  
                                  

Often time, we feel that, our parents are so out dated and uncool, we believe that, they perhaps act the way they do because; they did not have some of the privileges’ we now enjoy.  Considering the dawn of the new social media networks and other technologies that surrounds us.

I feel that, they act the way they do basically, from raising us, paying bills and facing life challenges they would not ordinarily be facing if they were single nor had no children they are directly responsible for.

Nevertheless, there is a tendency that we may act the same way when we are of similar age and thus; encounter similar challenges and responsibilities.  We will be just like them without even realising it because, obviously our parents thought the same of their parents at some point just like we are doing now.

100 THINGS TO DO BEFORE I DIE

                                          

If I decide to write down a list of what I intend to do before I die, I don’t think 100 will be enough which is why, I have decided not to give you up to 100 things because; as we advance in life things we feel the need to do begins to pop up.

Nevertheless, the following are a tiny bit of the things I would love to do before I die just to give you a perception of the things I desire and the calibre of person I am.

·         Before I die, I would love to have my own children,

·         Before I die, I would love to tour the world,

·         Before I die, I would love to give my mom her dream trip to USA,

·         Before I die, I would love to spoil my siblings a great deal,

·         Before I die, I would love to drive my dream car, own my dream house,

·         Before I die, I would love to get to the desired level in my career and make a difference in the life of orphans around the world.

I JUST WANT TO SAY “THANK YOU LORD”

                                          

I don’t want to ask for any favours’ I have not come to ask for silver, gold nor am I in any trouble that I need your help.  All I have come to do is, to say thank you for your mercy that endures for ever.

Everything I am and will ever be is by your grace, for the fact that I am alive and ready to move on with the challenges of the real world is by the privilege you have given to me, I say thank you Lord.

I say thanks a million times for your goodness, the unmerited favours’ you have always shown me right from when I was born to this present time.  I say thank you, I will give you thanks today, tomorrow and for the rest of my life, thank you Lord.

HOW ARE YOU PURSUING YOUR DREAMS?

                                                

                                 Don't trample on others in the process.

This is a very reasonable question whose answer could be predicted.  Just like everybody would say “i am pursuing my dream in a noble and modest manner”, is that really applicable to all?  I don’t think so.

I know for a fact that, some people are pursuing their dreams in a noble way because; they actually aspire to succeed while others trample on people’s rights without any feeling of remorse provided they get what they want.

That notwithstanding,  I am pursuing my dreams in a way I deem fit and right, following due process of determination, hard work and total commitment.  If you want to get something in life you must be ready to work towards it and give up your time in absolute commitment to achieve your goals.

WHAT MAKES YOU SMILE?

                                             

This question is quite simple, easy and tactical at the same time.  It is very obvious that whoever stumbles on this question would see it as a simple one and will immediately strive to give you a list of things that make them smile, without even giving it a thought.

Therefore, Smiling for the sake of it is very different from a smile that comes from the heart, devoid of any conditions or obligations, am saying this because, it is not everyone who smiles that is happy, some do it to make the next person happy while others actually smile from their heart etc.

So, before you answer this question, please ponder on it carefully and sincerely tell me what makes you smile?  Hence, believing and imagining a better future and the love of my family makes me smile.

TAKING CHANCES

                                        

Everything we do in life is a risk and all about taking chances, some chances we take may turn out while others may not.  Some people misinterpret taking chances on somebody on something as giving chances and that is not the concept this post is intended anyways.

Taking chances for me, is about investing your time, energy and money on a promising venture especially on someone who obviously have the potentials to do something great but; simply needs support to go through with it.


Hence, if the person succeeds, the chances are that; you made it happen because; you were courageous enough to take your chances on someone who exactly needed that extra support to make it.  Take chances to support a good course.

A LITTLE BIT OF EVERYTHING

                                         

A little bit of hope to the hopeless, a little bit of food to the hungry, a little bit of shelter to the homeless, a little bit of protection to the insecured, a little bit of strength to the weak and a little bit of power to the powerless.

A little bit of courage to the fearful, a little bit of love to the orphans, a little bit of direction to the lost, a little bit of companionship to the lonely and a little bit of support to the physically challenged.

However, a little bit of everything at every point in time would make the world a conducive, lovely and a better place to be happy.  Let us all work together to make the world a place we want to be and be ready to give and receive at least a little bit of everything.

MY BIG FAT DREAM

                                      

Dream is something people wishes or aspires to be, do or achieve in the future.  It can also mean something that is not real depending on the context it is being used.  Although, people always dream about one thing or the other, often things related to what they aspire to be in the future.

My big fat dreams are quite a handful; unfortunately I would only be sharing a few of them with you.  First, I want to achieve a lot of things that are academically related like; a B-tech followed by my master’s degree and perhaps a degree in business, travel the world, get married, have children of my own and never be a housewife.


Hence, dreams are aspirations that could be attained when the proper step is taken to ensure that they come to past, otherwise; they will only be fantasies, wishes and dreams.  Think big, dream big and act big.

BLINDED BY THE L-WORD

                                             

                                            

When you love somebody, you tend to be blinded by the feelings you are having for the person perhaps because, you are still on the first 3 months of the relationship (honey moon phase) and he/she seems perfect and faultless.

Therefore, he buys you gifts and chocolates just to win you over.  As times goes by, you will begin to realise and point out certain faults and things that have obviously been there but the (honey moon phase) kept you blinded all along.

That notwithstanding, genuine relationships are meant look real right from the very beginning with respect and understanding of the parties involved rather than a fairy tale that will fade away with time.  Love with your heart and think with your head, do not love with both, just a thought.

HAVE YOU EVER TRIED SLEEPING WITH A BROKEN HEART?

                                          

Being heartbroken is one thing and the ability to sleep with it is another aspect of the entire situation.  You may have some friends and family around to comfort you, they will share jokes and you smile and everything seems to be forgotten.

The moment you dive into your bed alone at night, you put on a soft music like; the Alicia Key’s “try sleeping with a broken heart” and you almost cry yourself to death while listening to the tormenting lyrics of the song.

Nevertheless, time heals all wounds, I strongly believe in that because; no matter the severity of the situation one is facing, as time goes by, the problems, pains and trauma fades away.   Sleeping with a broken heart is never easy and it is bad timing listening to “try sleeping with a broken heart” by Alicia Keys, just saying.

NINTENDO WARFARE

                                                
        

This is a techno- war game that; involves the fighting and killing of people who are portrayed as the enemy thereby; making the killer a hero and the good guy.  Is that really what it is or are we meant to believe so?

I really think we are being deceived into believing that it’s just a game because; according to an article by Eric Louw, this game is used to control the mind set and ideologies people have about warfare.

Nonetheless, they are used to curry a favourable image of war scenes, by making people believe that war is not such a bad thing and as such should be accepted by all as part of life.  Game or no game, war is bad and the fight against war or terrorism should be encouraged.
