The Boss You Are

You're probably reading this and wondering "how am I the Boss when I still had to come to this annoying workplace (depends on how you refer to your workplace if you have a job)?" If you were truly the boss, you should be on vacation somewhere around the world you won't even have to consider your bank account balance to get to, if you were truly the boss, you should not be reporting to any boss; if you were truly the boss, then you shouldn't be hustling the way you are; if you were the boss, you shouldn't be in school studying; if you were the boss, you shouldn't be unable to afford furthering your education; if you were the boss, you shouldn't be struggling with eating thrice a day talk less of having money in your bank account...the list is endless.

Ironically, the real bosses aren't always the ones who wear suits, sit on executive chairs, CEOs or everyone else who has the "Boss" title attached to them. We are all bosses, we just don't realise it yet. If you have a mind of your own, you're the boss; if you can make your own decisions, you're the boss, if you can persevere in the face of difficulties, you're the boss. Still doesn't make sense? I know it’s easier said than done but if you flashback on issues you’ve dealt with, challenges you’ve overcome, you would agree with me that it wasn’t easy but you were able to scale through still. Why? Because you’re the boss!


Remember that time you had to make a tough decision? A take it or leave it decision. It was tough then but you thought it through and finally decided yeah? And sometimes the decisions you took didn’t produce the kind of result you thought you would get from it, it hurt but you were strong and let go gradually. That’s because you’re a boss. Bosses make tough decisions, sometimes it even affects their relationship with others but they just have to do what they have to do. That’s why we’re superiors no matter how small we may feel sometimes, we’re strong regardless of life challenges, we take charge because if we don’t do it, who will? We make sacrifices no matter what it’ll cost us (sometimes) because as bosses, you just have to do whatever it takes, as long as it’s going to produce the outcome we want.

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...
