Addiction

I'm sure we all know what addiction means or at least must have heard about it or read about it or maybe, maybe we are addicted to something or someone.
I think we are all addicts, I mean, there is something you always want to do or someone you always want to be with. Think about it, it won't take you long before your addiction becomes clear to you.
Personally I'm addicted to music, I just love music and I crave it all the time. You can hardly see me without my headphones, I don't care if my battery is running out though it doesn't because I do everything possible to keep the music playing.
Some people are addicted to drugs, social media, fashion, art, nature, research, adventure, the list is endless. They crave for it all the time probably because it completes them or because they think it does.

Yes, we are addicted to whatever because we feel we are incomplete without it but it shouldn't stop there. I'm not judging but I think some of us are addicted to certain things more than is required.

Have you ever thought for a second about what your addiction is doing to you?
Have you ever pictured yourself without your addiction and what was the image like?
What does it cost you to be addicted?
How does your addiction make you a better person?
How does it make you a good influence to others?
What brought about your addiction?
How much time/energy/resources do you spend on your adventurous trips, following fashion trends, drugs etc, think about it.
Is your addiction worth the pain?

You keep killing it mehn. Personal and self evaluation is what we need to do at all time. Either in the bathroom, kitchen, school, church, bus station....anywhere and everywhere we need to just keep thinking on how best we can live and set a new cooler record from the previous day.
Stay clean, stay healthy n live happy. (I mean the Godly kind of happy)

My Marriage Story...So Far

I get to be asked about how marriage has been a lot by some of my unmarried friends. I’ve not even been married for long enough to be qualified to answer that question. From my little experience, marriage, like any other phase in life isn’t all smooth. It has its ups and downs. There’s an extra respect you get as soon as you get married. I get to be called MA a lot by people who wouldn’t ordinarily call me that and I’m wondering why. I guess it’s just the way the society has made it. Oh and I lost some friends as soon as I got the MRS title. Some people don’t care about how serious your relationship is, they’d still be on your ‘case’ but as soon as you say “I do”, they’d forget you like you never existed. This was good and bad for me because I considered some to be great friends but then, I guess I was wrong. Then there’s the pressure to get pregnant, I got lucky to get pregnant earlier than I thought though I wasn’t even ready. But before my body began announcing it, I still...

Life after Death...real or not?

Life after death....hmmmm      I know we've all heard or read stories about people who lived after they died.      I'm not talking about reincarnation this time, I'm talking about people who were confirmed dead but were still recognised elsewhere alive, hale and hearty.      Okay, there was this lady who resided close to my house diagnosed with tuberculosis or something related because she was drying up real bad, might have been Hiv too (just saying), she usually patronised my shop where soft drinks and snacks were sold. She usually bought only pepsi or 7up, as the spirit led her I guess.      I was very young then and observant too as always so one day she came as usual, bought 7up and left. Not long after she left, I heard that she had died the previous day.      I wondered how someone could be dead and still buy her usual the next day, I thought it was a strange thing so I never told anyone.   ...

My End Of The Year Note

Dear OTTH Readers, how are we? I'm very fine and I can smell 2016 already afterall it's just some hours from now so I guess I'd just use this medium to say merry Christmas in arrears and happy new year in advance. I hope we all "shouted out" to our uncles and aunties, class teachers, lol, don't mind me. I'm sure we remember those Christmas funfairs where kids shout out to their loved ones where some even cry while talking, it's very hilarious watching them. Okay, now to the reason we're here. This year wasn't so bad for me though it didn't start so well but I have a lot to be thankful for and I'm going to share them with you. Let's start with the negatives so the story can have a good ending. For about half of the year, I was jobless which means I was frustrated, broke, you know the drill. Recently too, I lost my school's Vice Chancellor, Mrs. Esther Tchokatcheu who played a very important role in the process of my being a gr...
