Long or Short, How Do You Like It?

Long or short, how do you like it? The answer to that question largely depends on our preferences. Personally, I like it short but not too short. Now, you're probably wondering what I'm talking about, I'm talking about relationships. Like people say, it's not how far but how well. As much as I subscribe to that statement, I don't believe it should be too far. It surprises me when I listen to interviews of couples and they reveal that they dated their spouse for 8years, 10years, even 11years. I'm like dfghjhgfdsdi? Why? Two to three years isn't enough to decide if oomf was "the one"? It is understandable though if they started dating in secondary school but as an adult, biko what are we doing? The ones that even end up with that person they dated for "forever" is even better, how about those ones who do not get married eventually?

I know a broken relationship/engagement is better than a broken marriage but if we're going to break it anyway, isn't the earlier, the better? Why would you have to wait six years to break it off? By six years, I mean, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 long lengthy years to tell oomf you're no longer interested after all the time, energy, and material things that has been invested in the relationship? I don't get it still. An instagram post inspired this write up, not like I've not been thinking about how people date for 5years plus but then, the post just made me see reasons why this should be posted. Instead of telling us the genesis to revelation of the story, I'd rather post the screen shots here so you can read it the way it was narrated by the "horse".

The guy's narration;




The lady's curses;



Now that you've read the shots, do you think it makes sense to wait that long before deciding it was time to call it quits? After all the abortions? Investments? No, I'm not saying that he should marry her because she had committed four abortions for him or because she and her family "made" him but then, why let someone do so much when you knew you weren't ready to take it to the next level? And now, she had to curse him. Whether the curse is binding or not, she has cursed him from the depth of her heart. Before a woman can curse someone she used to love, it must have gotten to the height and I mean the HEIGHT. I'm not justifying the curse but then, things like that make people commit murder even when they're fully aware of the consequences of the crime. It hurts, wasted time is better than wasted money or so they say. Only those whose time has been truly wasted can deeply understand my previous statement. Six years, nothing productive to show for. He realised it was out of pity not love after six years and it took meeting someone else to know that yeah?

It's sad really, God sees their hearts and knows how to deal with them (HIM mostly). Do you think he "used" her to be great, I mean, her family had invested in him and all so he couldn't end it in between because he might stop getting the benefits attached to being with her? I'm just saying though. Or maybe he didn't really love her but after doing everything for him, he thought leaving her was cruel so he didn't want to? he probably realised this maybe two years into the relationship but my nigga had to wait 6 long years to gather courage from the north, east, west, and south before ending it. Or she didn't see the signs? She gave to much and expected much? To whom much is given, much is expected yeah? This is why you shouldn't give too much so that even if you get nothing in return, there would almost be nothing lost. Four abortions is too much for one person. I'm not going to judge the act of abortions but if you must, I believe you shouldn't make the same mistake twice. One abortion is enough for a lifetime in my own opinion, the next pregnancy should be left to mature hence having sex with caution or not at all (if you can).

Truth is, nobody deserves so much on no solid grounds. Yes, get engaged, walk down the aisle, then you can give your life savings to the person. You won't feel too bad, because there were "grounds", it would have been understandable. Love is never enough, never have, never is, never will. Love is one thing, commitment is another. If you're both committed, please get married. If you don't feel the person is right for you, please, walk away and walk away early. The earlier the better. Don't wait for 2 years if you are already feeling "funny" at 6 months, there would be less damage done. Everybody will be happy...eventually and probably find their one true love later. Its okay if you're not that one true love, you'll find yours. Respect people who leave you before it got too deep, than those who met your ancestors and still left you. No point.

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...

Love With Blood?

Dear OTTH readers, I hope we're good because I'm very fine. You know me and the things that bother me, lol. The other day, I was discussing with Anuli (CEO, Iluna photography)  about how I think it's abnormal to have sexual relations with any member of ones family and she made a point by saying that it's a norm in some places #onemansmeat...you know the drill but that it doesn't make it right. I understand that people crush on their cousins and all and I also understand that my culture might be a taboo someplace else but haba! Why would you have sexual relations with your family member? I used to think it was always sexual abuse when things like that happen but I've found out that people actually do it with pride and talk about it without shame. I remember someone telling me how he makes out with his cousin and he loves her so much and I'm like gfhdsshgk? Over the years, I've heard and I still hear of different cases of incest and it was beginning t...

Mirabel's Dairy

My name is Mirabel Blakewood, I'm 20 years old. My parents died when I was 6 in a car accident on the 25th of July, 2001 and I've been living with Maternal Grandmother until she also passed away when I was 15. I still stay at my Grandmother's till date. I'm quite tall, I have brown eyes just like my Dad's. I remember it when he used to read me bedtime stories, I would stare deep into his eyes till I fell asleep. I keep a small circle of friends - Jeff, Sarah, Lionel and Amy. We've been friends since we were kids. They've been my family too. My Grandmother was a very quiet woman, she was a woman of noble mien. She had no friends and she barely spoke to anyone. She would say hello to few people after the service on Sunday then be back to her normal withdrawn self. There was something my Grandma passed on to me, it's called the Peth spirit. It was passed on to her by her mother when she was dying but my Mum didn't live long enough for it to b...
