3 Types of Couples

Image
If you're not in a relationship or married yet at least you know someone who is. Behind every relationship is a unique sweet story or a unique bitter story. So, I came to the realisation that there are three major types of couples. I know you're wondering what I'm talking about right now but here it is. 1) The   mismatched   couple These couple are the definition of romance and love. They make you want to question why you're with your your partner at first sight. When you're with one half all you get to hear is what the other half said, did and even when they are just a yard away from each other their phones keep buzzing because it's like one half can't survive without the other.  When they finally take a vow before family and friends to stay glued to each other forever..Boom! 1-3 months down the path of marriage things get sour, then comes the bitter discovery that they were not in any way compatible; they begin to see a thousand thing wrong

Stop The Abuse On Children

Today I read a disheartening story of a nine year old girl staying with her aunty, and got raped by their neighbour someone around reported the ordeal to the girl's aunty, first she did the right thing which was confrontation, but the man begged and offered a bribe so that his wife won't hear about it, and the aunty took the money without pressing further charges.  Fortunately enough the same person that reported the ordeal to the girl's aunty made sure the pervert was prosecuted. While reading this the coal of resentment was burning brightly from my ends for this pervert who could not keep his hands in his pocket when it comes to little girls.  The sad thing about this story was the girl's aunty who was supposed to protect her, and stand up for her succumbed to the temptation of 10k at the expense of the little girl's health and safety. The questions that raced through my head while reading the story were; what coud be attractive in a nine year old girl

Unspoken

She recalled the first time he came to her room, her mother had been away for some women conference, and she had gone to bed a bit late because of her home work and was barely asleep when she heard a tap on the door, when she opened it he stepped in, she was surprised, confused and frightened seeing him in her room that late. He immediately pushed her to the bed, and started caressing her with his face in her neck and his other hand between her thighs "don't worry you won't feel any pain"  he said in a hoarse voice. She tried fighting and pushing him away, but his body felt solid against hers, she was tired of struggling and lay rigidly with her eyes squeezed shut, determined not to let them open with the tears flowing steadily as her heart pounded. When he was satisfied he stood up and told her sternly "if you tell anyone about this I'll kill your mother and younger sister".  When she had tried to move her legs It was moist and slippery. She

How To Tell If You're In An Abusive Relationship

Image
People have different definition of what should be and what shouldn't depending on their perception about relationship. When it comes to relationship I strongly believe there are lines that shouldn't be crossed. Relationship in general should be about trust, respect, and freedom to be yourself in the relationship. If you're not really sure of what counts as abuse I'd suggest you follow your guts your safety is the number one priority, but if you're still confused here are some few signs to help you. Stalking If your partner stalks you by texting or calling you all the time and expects instant response, and is always checking your social media handle in a way that gives you goosebumps and make you uncomfortable, and requires an explanation for everything. If he keeps track of you even when you haven't made plans to be together this here is a sign. There is a difference between an obsessed person and one who cares. Control If your partner want to

6 Ways To Move Beyond Societal Pressure

Image
We live in a world where a lot of pressure is placed on a person's achievement and success in the society. A society where "your business becomes everybody's business" with a lot of demand like what they expect you to achieve at a particular stage in your life, and when the achievement of such goal is not possible or delayed you're seen as a failure. With all this it is important to follow your path in life without regrets. Here are some few practical tips I'd like to share. Do things to improve yourself image   It is important you motivate yourself, appreciate yourself for who you are, and what you have been through.

Most of us intrinsically understand that not all relationship are meant to last forever, while some of us find ourselves going back and forth with exes that have hurt us and still hurting us.

Focus On Your Passion

Image
There is nothing unfulfilling like doing what you don't like. Finding oneself in a place of work where you feel you are intellectually wasting away, a place where there is nothing new to learn, and when you try to give your all its not appreciated most people find themselves caught in this where they wake up each morning look their best to work, but in that work place lie their nightmare, a place that restrict their countless skills and abilities, a place where they can't speak up, where they don't feel confident and comfortable enough to voice their opinions or share their thoughts, they stay in the job not because it makes them a better person or challenge them intellectually, but because they want to take something home at the end of the month. Most people today find themselves doing jobs that make them go on an emotional roller coaster, but on social media feign love for such jobs and use hashtags to describe how much they love this job that is drowning them sl

Before Saying "I Do"

It's another Saturday, another day of the week to play dress up well, before you go struggling to catch the bouquet with a hundred other single ladies at a wedding reception, and using all the tricks in your little book to get him propose to you before the end of the 2019. Here are some few honest questions you need to ask yourself. Does he accept you for who you are? Do you fight and argue over everything? Can you be yourself without being criticised around him? Because there are a lot of people that have become a shadow of themselves after jumping on the wagon without thinking. Does he accept your opinions? Is he judgemental about the way you look? Does he share the same interest with you? The thing here is you might love good music, movies, books and might be an adventurous  person who loves to see the world, use the little you have to feed the less privileged, but he sees all these as a waste of good time and resources. Does he question your beliefs? Does he questio

How To Deal With Insecurity In Relationship

Image
It takes time to pick oneself up after a bad relationship, and when we do it makes us feel emotionally vulnerable we always feel the past will come back to bite us, we begin to suspect the people we are with and misinterprete everything they do by being anxious and practically making ourselves detective and judge over their actions  even when we know our partners are decent, caring and honest people. This insecurity has led some people to end their relationships before their partner even get a hint of what is happening- with the excuse that it is better to walk away rather than risk the hurt of being abandoned. An insecured person can confuse imagination with reality, just like the artist considers painting as a pathway across dimensions, same can be said of the way an insecured perceive their relationship, such a person will interpret every action of his/her partner in a thousand way. They feel every acquaintance or friend is concealing something about their partner they are
