P-Pressure Or Something Like That

Peer pressure is a very funny concept abi funny kind of pressure. This is because you don’t have to be forced into doing anything; it starts in your head. You might be constantly teased about not having something someone else has and it starts to register in your mind/head (choose one) that you’re not up to the standard you should be. Who sets the standard really so why bother?

It can also come in form of people around you having something you don’t which you probably admire but have no means of getting – yet. Rather than wait for your time, you feel you should join the clique so you hustle anyhow you can to get it. Funny thing is, those who own it might have been allowing you access to theirs (I don’t mean babe here, nobody wants you to share their babe) to the extent that you won’t feel the need to get yours but you just can’t (kent) keep calm.

Peer pressure isn’t always negative as it usually is made to sound. Peer pressure can inspire you to do amazing stuff with your life as well. Imagine having friends, who are very ambitious, it will rub off on you somehow. Even if you’re very phlegmatic about achievements, they will push you to do something. You might even feel pressure to step up to their level so this will make you up your game.

In the end, it is all about what you do with your time, who you spend time with bla bla. If evil communications can corrupt good manners, imagine what good communication could do to your manners/ life?

Tips On Reducing/Eliminating The Pressure

- - Watch your association, if it doesn’t inspire you to do better mentally, spiritually and financially, I don’t know why you’re there in the first place.

- - Feed your mind with good stuffs.

- - Don’t feel intimidated (I know it’s not easy) by what people own, you don’t know what they went through to get it.

- - Be contented with who you are. Strive to be better in positive and productive ways only.

- - Remember that you can’t be who you want to be ‘sharply’. There are processes, stages you must pass through. Pass through them in peace without jumping fence.

- - Go on social media to have fun not to constantly remind yourself of how far you are from achieving your goals.

- - Be yourself. Nobody matters more than you so who would you rather be except you?

- - Dare to be different. How about doing what no one else is doing rather than doing what everyone is doing?

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...
