LOVE AND COMMITMENT




I have discovered that love doesn't guarantee the success of a relationship.
Love cannot help you stick to one person all year round,
And on the other hand, cheating isn't always a product of not loving your partner.
In fact, loving someone doesn't guarantee not falling in love with another person.
Relationships work out mostly because of our head not our heart,
It works out because of our emotional maturity, empathetic intelligence and self discipline

Because a time will come when you'll see
A more beautiful, handsome, romantic, intelligent, sexy, rich, curvy
And far more God fearing people than the one you're in a relationship with.
In those times, love will not help you, but self control will help you;
Emotional intelligence will come to your rescue and commitment will keep you going.

With those characteristics, no matter what you feel for someone else,
The person you're committed to will rank first in your life.
You think happily married people don't see better people than the ones they married?
 You think they don't feel funny or sexy about someone else sometimes?
You think they don't catch feelings, eye contact, smells or even a pleasant smile?

They do!
 But understanding commitment is greater than feelings
 and a great arsenal that destroys that very impulse.
You can fall in love with absolutely anyone, but building a relationship
takes so much more than what attracted you to them in the first place.

 It takes more than just love.

We are too fond of loving when it's convenient,
When it's sweet
We are too fond of loving when love is there.
But that can only last for just the first 3-6 months of the relationship
Then the exuberance of love and excitement begins to fail and drop.
Its then, you'll realize it's now your responsibility to make it work,
Not love's responsibility. Relationships are not ready made; you have to build it.
It's never always about love alone; it requires commitment,
 It requires intelligence it requires selflessness.

How I Wish I could Control The Clock

Tick Tock... Tick Tock... Life is counting down on your internal clock. Memories that feel as if they occurred yesterday, turn to flashes of moments that seem to fade away. People you once knew, walk by without a clue. The times you once shared, exist as if you were never there. . Years fly...friends die... and you never know when you'll say your last goodbye. Oh, how I wish I could turn back time, spend it with loved ones and cherish what once was mine. Or to go back even more, being a kid in a candy store. How I miss the way I used to feel, on Christmas day when Santa was real. But back to reality...back to today, family is scarce and memories continue to fade away. Tick tock...tick tock... How I wish I could control this clock.

SUICIDE BY SNIPER: A POPULAR CHOICE AMONG NIGERIANS - (PART ONE)

He inhaled deeply and loudly, as if trying to savour the freshness of the dusky air. He held a small white plastic bottle with his left hand and a camera device understood to be his phone, with his right hand, to capture the epic moment. It was barely evening. The yellow sun — seemingly not scorching — filtered through the bamboo trees behind him, playing on the dry leaves on which he sat. Depressed, he looked downward, then upward. He stared ahead. His eyes rolled sideways, seemingly forcing back some sordid tears, some prickly reflections. Suddenly, he accompanied the white bottle mouthwards. And in two gulps, he emptied it down his bowel. It was a Sunday in the month of February, a day when believers were expected to be in God’s presence, worshipping. However, Victor Oladimeji wouldn't attend church service like he used to. He preferred to be alone under the bamboo shed in a nearby bush. He appeared to have a much bigger task at hand; bidding this mundane world a go...
