THE THING ABOUT FEAR.



"You can only lead people with terror and fear for so long, but one day their eyes will open to their power and there will be no hiding place for the wicked", X. 

Fear is one weakness that often eats us up, it is an unpleasant often strong emotion caused by anticipation or awareness of danger. This re​peat​ed​ly gives the tyrant an edge. 

It is no news that we are controlled by what we tie great emotions to, fear is founded on really strong emotions and hence, can control us. You are controlled by what and who you are afraid of. 

The thing about fear is that it's more of a psychological programming that responds to trigger from similar scheme. Most if not all of us grew up scared of the dark, and even as adult some still remain that way, this is a clear example that fear is an illusion. 

Have you ever felt fear before? That heart-gripping splash of anxiety, I'm a very confident person but when I get up stage I might even forget my middle name, smiles. Why is that? I'm afraid of talking in front of a crowd and this becomes bigger than me and controls my actions. 

Now, at some point, I would get over this fright, and when I do, that's just it. Same as every fear, we overcome and conquer it and then move past it. 

The tyrant can be in control for as long as you let him, you can't let him forever. At some point, you'd get pissed and see the potentials you carry then take control. 

Nevertheless, it is not easy. To face your fears and conquer them is extremely difficult yet it is achievable, don't wait till the tyrant controls you excessively before you take charge. 


Face that fear, do the necessary.

"NOT ADMITTED"

Image
She clicks on the Whatsapp group chat,  Yet another "Congratulations, you've been admitted", with her heart heavy, she angrily leaves the group, minimize out of Whatsapp. There she is patiently waiting for chrome to load her admission status, this is the third time today she's logging into her jamb caps.  Her eyes almost eager with hope, she muttered under her breath, "God please" The network server makes matter worst by going sluggishly as she clickes "Regular admission status" she closes her eyes, hoping against hope, praying fervently, that this time it'd be different.  But it's not, because as she opens her eyes slowly, she's greeted with an arrogantly boldly written, "NOT ADMITTED", screaming at her. Suddenly the dam breaks.  Silently, tears begin to stream down her eyes, taking a rather familiar router via her chin.  The urge to throw her phone across the room intensifies, she wishes she could will her admission into exi...

TEAM WORK

Image
It can be quite frustrating when a collective effort results in only one person receiving all the praise. Even if my contribution is just 1%, it shouldn’t be overlooked. You never know how these small efforts can make a significant difference. My bubugaga is back from school, and today we did a lot of tidying up. It’s amazing how I suddenly find the energy to work when she's around, despite my usual laziness. After completing so much work, we took a break—we were honestly worn out. Fast forward to the end of the day: everyone applauded her for a job well done, as though it was solely her effort. It felt off because I felt I deserved some recognition too—it was teamwork, after all. So, the point is, you never know how hurtful it can be when someone's effort goes unacknowledged. No matter how small the contribution, appreciate it alongside the major ones. Dearest reader, do you find yourself annoyed like myself when your effort is overlooked in a team work?  @favvy_Ok...

LESS THAN ONE.

Image
There are days when my arms are too heavy to hold a pen, my brain too disorganized to put a sentence together, my thoughts an unending swirl of emotions. But then there are days—days when my smile can break through your screen, invade your life, and steal alongside your heart. Days when my excitement can be likened to that of a 2-year-old, where my inquisitiveness and curiosity know no bounds. Well, today is the latter. But like a poet I love once said, "Even if the light's turned on and my fears are not gone, I'll give it my best shot because the show must go on." So, I'd like to talk about something today: the idea of "LESS THAN ONE." But before we dive into this, allow me to tell you a story. ***** Once upon a time, I had a friend. You know that feeling of being friends with the girl every guy wants, so you get a lot of "Please help me talk to your friend"? In school, we had our lunch bought by different guys each day—one of the ...
