Lessons From Q1



So it's April, just like that. I remember us complaining that January was like three months, I agreed because it seemed like forever especially if your salary was paid on or before the 20th of December. February strolled in and out then march came too and ended just like that. The first quarter of the year is over but it won't really matter much if it's over if we made good use of our time and learnt enough lessons from the previous months that would come in handy in subsequent months. 

Personally, I've learnt a lot from life, experiences, and interactions with others and I'd like to share some of them with us.

People die, there's nothing we can do about it but to live. Let’s face it, what has happened has happened and it’s most likely not your fault (except you killed the person) so stop beating yourself up about it and live. Live your life so well that if the person is watching, they’ll be proud of you.

Save money, you'll need it. Saving money is not overrated. It will always come in handy so even if you don’t have a purpose, just save it, the purpose will come along at a time you might even least expect.
 
Be careful what you wish for because you just might get it. You need to control your thoughts and even your lies too because you can talk and think things into happening.

Be there for those who are there for you. Life is too short to not be there for people who are doing all their best to be there for you. Show some love.

Be genuinely happy for others, it won't kill you, might lead to your own blessing. I don’t get how people can’t just be happy for other people genuinely; I mean, what will it cost you? Be happy mehn, you won’t die and who knows, you might just attract your own blessings through that little act.

Live, love, laugh. You only die once as much as you only live once so take your time to live your life as productive and positive as possible. Love as much as possible and please laugh, find humor even in weird things.

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...
