Being Single is Natural

Being single is a natural state of being and should not be viewed as a wrongdoing. It is perfectly acceptable to wait for the right person rather than rushing into a relationship with the wrong individual, which is where the true mistake lies.

The fact that you are single does not imply that you cannot experience genuine happiness while waiting for the right person. Happiness is a positive and pleasurable emotion that ranges from contentment to intense joy and overall satisfaction. It can be triggered by positive life experiences or thoughts, but sometimes it can arise without an obvious cause. The long-term level of happiness is more strongly correlated with life satisfaction, subjective well-being, flourishing, and eudaimonia.

There is a misguided belief that being married is the only path to happiness and respect. This mindset has created a false narrative, leading many young people to hastily enter marriages in pursuit of happiness. However, they often realize that the happiness they were seeking cannot be found solely within the institution of marriage. It can be a disappointing realization.

Marriage is a lifelong commitment, and it is the only institution that grants a certificate before a thorough evaluation. It presents a variety of challenges and adventures. When you say "YES" to marriage, you are unwrapping a whole new set of identities and should be prepared to encounter the unexpected.

It is important to take your time and carefully evaluate your wants and needs. Needs refer to the basic requirements necessary for survival, while wants are the desires that are unlimited but the means to fulfill them are limited.

You may want something that you don't necessarily need. Therefore, it is crucial to choose wisely and prioritize what truly matters to you.

THE TWO SIDES OF THE COIN

'The Tale of a Very Good Bad Girl'  This girl is kind but with a twist of madness, an unpredictable force of nature. In her calm voice, she asserts, "If I can spend all my energy saving a soul, I can also invest the same energy in taking a soul." She embodies the sides of a coin with a magnetic effect, attracting energy at different frequencies, and wielding both light and darkness. Celebrating a decade of being a "very good bad girl" reflects a journey of resilience and adaptability. Life has served her portions of poison without pause, making the choice between the sides of the coin consequential. Maintaining the facade of a purely good girl is too costly, while the bad girl persona adds an enticing edge.  In a world where "bad girls" often seize better opportunities, the "good girls" frequently end up with the leftovers. This isn't mere sarcasm; it's a hard truth. Being too good often leads to having one's rights trampled u...

I AM NOT A RASCAL

I'm not a rascal; I'm strong-headed. There's a distinct difference between being a rascal and having a strong will and mind. I'm disciplined—not rigid, but unyielding and impossible to easily twist. Some people mess things up and claim that just because I don't change my stance or agree with them, it makes me a rascal. They mistake my firm voice and unwavering will for something negative. But I know what a real rascal is: someone with no good intentions, someone who breaks the law, violates rights, defiles people, robs, acts like a thug, and disrespects others' cultures.  Here's the truth: I’ve shown time and again that you cannot silence my voice—it’s strong and clear, reaching far and wide. Just because I’m strong-headed doesn’t mean I’m a rascal. And if I appear simple at times, don’t be fooled—simplicity is not the core of who I am. Remember this.

BLESSING IN DISGUISE

 Placing all our trust in humans instead of in God often leads to significant disappointment, as aptly expressed by Kuforiji Afolasade: "The height of your trust determines the depth of your disappointment." There are moments when we reach out to others for help, but they may not respond. In such situations, it's possible that God is using their absence to teach us valuable lessons that their presence couldn't impart. We may be disheartened and disapproved by those we trusted the most, but it's essential to realize that their presence might have complicated matters and prevented the right people from coming into our lives to offer genuine help. Perhaps, where we stand today, we have experienced rejection and disarray due to the absence of support from our parents, friends, or spouse when we needed them the most. This could have resulted in various setbacks, financial crises, serious health issues, broken relationships, spiritual attacks, business failures, unemplo...
