Temperament: I am Melancholic

     My name is Melancholic. I'm a perfectionist and emotionally sensitive. I like my things being in a particular pattern and hate when it doesn't follow the pattern. I hold myself and others in extremely high standards and I hate when my standards are not met. I'm always willing to learn and understand, I'm keen on knowing every little detail about anything because for me, to be ignorant is to stray from perfection. I'm very inquisitive and I ask specific questions to gain more understanding which sometimes leads to over analytical worries. I am very stubborn because I try hard to stick to my own carefully considered views and standards of perfection and I'm not easily shifted from this path. I do not go with the flow.  
   I am very pessimistic, and assume the worst due to my sometimes unrealistic standards. I think and plan before taking any action and I never resort to rash behaviours if I can't plan properly. It's easier for me to hate and reject things rather than to love and accept them. My interests are picked carefully and I hold them closely rather than have a lot that'll change quickly and often. I complain a lot but not in a put-down or demanding way. I tend to argue a lot analytically because I can't let things be if they seem wrong although using logic and explanations. The arguments are usually about the issue not me. I respond poorly to compliments and blame myself for mistakes as I'm clearly aware of my imperfections. I like things being tidy though not necessarily neat. I crave time alone and I love my own company.
     I enjoy spending time with others but it drains my energy most times and I'd have to spend time alone to get it back. People who don't meet my standards and outlook make me uncomfortable. I'm not all about talking to anyone and everyone. Once I have someone to talk to in a quiet and relaxed atmosphere, I can talk a lot and enjoy sharing thoughts and ideas. It takes me time to consider people I'm familiar with friends but once it gets to that point, I'm likely to stick to the person. I prefer having a few close friends to many acquaintances. I can be seen as selfish though because I prefer to be alone with my own thoughts, have my own things, rather than sharing them with others. I'm very possessive about things I own and very reluctant to let others borrow or use them because I believe they won't give it as much care as I would as I care about everything deeply.
     I'm more intense rather than easy going. I'm very emotional, I'm moved deeply by beauty and distress. I'm slow to snap but I hold on to emotions for a very long time and also easily hurt. I can become very moody at times, I'm not aggressive and I love fleeing from things that make me uneasy. I'm more likely to make people feel guilty rather than insult them just to get back at them. I'm all of this because I am MELANCHOLIC.

Who Says There Are No Pervs In Church?

Dear OTTH readers, how are we? I spent my weekend resting and going through dorisaniunoh.blogspot.com, you know as a writer, one shouldn't depend on themselves, so every now and then, I go through other blogs because not only do I learn a lot from them, they also inspire me to write something. I love reading from Doris' blog because like me, she writes real life stuff, something I could actually relate to not how Davido got robbed and the likes. I've been meaning to write about this in a while but procrastination won't let me but today I have bound the spirit hence here it is. I'm certain we all know who a perv is but just incase we don't, perv is the shortform for the word "pervert" and it refers to someone who's sexually obsessed according to Google and that's about what it means so I guess we all get the picture and we'd understand better as we proceed. I've always thought pastors would at least act like pastors no matter the tempt...

Na From Clap, Dance Dey Start

Good morning my loves, welcome to 2016. This is our first post this year so I’m supposed to be very excited but the issue I want to discuss is not one that gives room for such excitement. Of course, I’m excited that you can read this right now, that you came all the way from 2015 into 2016. It wasn’t an easy trip but we’re all here finally. Thank you so much for your love. Now to the business of the day. In a world of women and men, yes I put women first because I’m a woman just in case you were wondering why or maybe you didn’t even notice, the fate of a woman depends on the woman not the man and this is no merlin line. I’m really hurt right now and I’m too hurt to not speak up. I’m not a romantic person for reasons I don’t know but for some reason I’m grateful for it. I’m saying this because I’ve seen what people call love in action and it makes me wonder if it really is love. I’m not going to dispute the fact that I’ve also made my mistakes, I mean, we all have our stupid moments ...

The Hustle Of Many Colors

We are all "hustlers" before we become "chillers" whether we want to admit it or not. Some of us are in the corporate world, some on the streets, some in market places and some are in places I can't name. Some of us are dressed in suits, some in rags, some are dressed casually while some are dressed in clothes I can't even classify under any of the aforementioned categories. When I see people put up pictures saying "Lord bless my hustle" or "Oluwa bless my hustle", I just say 'amen' on behalf of whoever put up the picture. I'm very emotional right now because I've seen hustle at its peak. I remember entering a bus somewhere, I was the only passenger in the bus. The conductor did everything possible to get more passengers but all his efforts proved abortive. The driver then said "sorry aunty, we no dey go, we no see passenger" and I had to go with another bus. I could see the disappointment on his face, I wished...
