Dear Distinguished,

Dear Distinguished, 

  For the past few weeks, I have been to you consistently and you've never thought of visiting me. Is that good enough? Is it? Don't even give me that I've been busy line or I'll put you in my visiting plan for next month. What stops you from visiting right away? Not as if I don't do same for you. This one does not even know the privilege of...
 Oh please ignore that . I was cruising as usual.

Talking about plans, how far vision2021? Sorry, I meant 2021 resolutions? You've not written it down? You don't like stress yeah? Or you're scared of not meeting up like last year? You think it's better not to make plans and fall by the way side? You're plain scared of failure? You believe dreaming big will only get your hopes high and then leave you dry? Or no matter how much you try, you may not meet up with the bar you set? Why can I relate so much? 

Since we're in the same boat let's row together na. Abi? Let's write a very long list of resolutions.It will be so long! Must be the longest list we've written since we knew the word 'resolution'. It should be as long as one sentence. All we are doing this year is embedded in eight words: take up my cross and follow Christ daily. Amazing? Yes! Thank you. 

We're following Christ daily. We're staying with the word and dwelling in the place of prayer. We will bask in the love of the Father and take up responsibilities as sons and daughters. On the other hand, we will grow into the fullness of all God has for us. We're not using 'follow Christ daily' as a mask from shining our light academically or career wise. We stay with God and download moves that will shake the whole world. We make plans for our academics, finances, relationships and commit them into God's hands. We trust God with our goals and He'll bring them to pass. Amen somebody? 

Let your light shine in your goals for 2021. See all the rooms they said we could not rent? We're going back to buy the building. 

Selah,
The Distinguished.

7 Reasons why you shouldn't delve into a relationship as a teenager.

Relationships are really sweet. When I say relationship, I mean romance/love relationship. And if you’ll agree, teenage love relationships are usually the loveliest. You guys are still rocking your teen adventure, full of energy and glowing looks. Nowadays, it is somewhat strange to see an average 21st-century teenager who’s never been or isn’t in a love bond. They call it boyfriend and girlfriend and it’s been made so obligatory that there are some insecurities you feel when you are not in one. In my secondary school days, I could remember how guys who had no girlfriend were evacuated from groups in the class. Nobody wants to regard you if you’re not among. So, everyone seeks to have a love relationship even when they are far from the prerequisites. Having a love life in your teenage years isn’t a bad thing to do. Of course, there are folks whose relationship survived the storms and are now happily married. It works, but it’s almost rare. A lov...

Journey With My First Boo 2

Image
We started talking and he went to the issue of kissing but this time, he said he would not force me if I wasn't ready. I was deeply in love with him. (or so you thought) I closed all the windows so no one would see us and I said “Kiss me”. He kissed me and he said “let's have Sex”. {Insert mysterious tune here} I told him I was a Virgin and that there would be blood everywhere and he jokingly said, “how many tanks of blood do you have there?”. He told me there was a way he would do it and everything was going to be fine. I felt that I was ready and I was really going to have sex with him but I remembered something. My elder sisters got pregnant when they were teenagers and I was just 16 as at that time. I told him to stop that I wasn't ready. Then he stopped and told me he was leaving. That was the last time I saw him and the relationship ended. It has been 3 years since then and we haven’t been communicating. You can guess what my age is now, right. I am in my last l...
