MY STRUGGLE

BATTLE 4
*DON'T FORCE IT*

I need help,
I'll post all my pictures of me having fun,
Wearing my happiest smile 
Add a few comments to enhance the effect,
And impress all my great Facebook friends,
Making them think that my life is fulfilling.

I live like, I'm truly the best I can be.
Fill up my page with all kinds of lies,
So they all will be jealous of me.
Or perhaps make a post that 
Appear quite informed and so smart.
Creating a page that can trigger debate, etc.

Sometimes, I could post a poem of mine,
And show them how deep I can be.
They will be in such awe of the talent I have
They'll wish they could all be like me.
Yet, all I could think about,
Is how many likes I will get,
And maybe a comment or two.
But what if they simply ignore me,
I just don't know what I will do.

I have lived my life,
Comparing my page to all of my friend.
It has caused me a lot of sleepless night, worry and pain.
They have far more likes and a long list of friends,
It makes me feel insecure and ashamed.
It graduated to me,
Waking up each day and the first thing I do,
Is open my own Facebook page.
If I don't get up to my expected likes,
It can break me the whole day.
I really want to be myself but I don't know how" Tinuke said as she panicked 

Hmmm
The life of social media has killed and destroyed a lot of people.
It now look like people are losing their sanity just to please people
"I wanna be geng"

Dear Sisters,
When social media sets the standard so high.
And it constantly choke you,
Leading to anger, withdrawal and suicide
The best thing, is to take down the page,
Refuse to engage,
If you don't reject it, it could tear you apart.

Take care of your life,
Don't be under any influence 
Don't let social media win.
Nurture and protect your fragile esteem,
Be true and accept real friend. 

God bless you!

DON'T BE FRUSTRATED

Many at times, you don't look like what you are going through  Because you have tried the mastery skills of hiding and managing situations and have gotten used to it  Many at times, you wonder why people who has done the worst things ever, still get more favour than you doing the right thing  Many at times, Guys has played you even the believers and you kept wondering if the fault is from you because you are not just getting it right in relationships  Sometimes, you always try to understand the situation but the truth is, you are tired of it and most time you find it hard to let go and forget the situation. Sometimes, you just want to follow the crowd but you realize in between that you got lost and can't just proceed with the plan.. I know things can be difficult  I know many people or various things are frustrating  I know it's not easy living in circles with no progression I know you have plans but it just doesn't go the right way  So dear sisters, ...

THE JOURNEY

Last 2 year, I started a journey on my health and I'm grateful. Even though I wasn't consistent especially after the coaching session but I had to strive to ensure the journey continues even though I fall, I still get myself back  Imagine being a lover of heels and you can't wear it for too long Having to sweat profusely, Having knee ache pains, Sewing new dresses because you can't wear your favorite dress Imagine lot's more because of weight gain, That was me.. Before you go further and think it's only food that cause weight gain.  Mine wasn't, I could say it was stay at home, free hands and no stress kind of reason (I don't know how best to put it) I know I'm not a slim person but I was already weighing 110kg. Lolz, 2 bags of cement. Then I told myself Temilade, it has to change  I found the solution DIET, It was at the point where I realized I couldn't be myself and also seeing changes, I decided to take my health serious  I subscribed to a di...

A DAILY REMINDER

I know you are going through all shades of different phase, I know you are thinking of what next, I know the hardship is tough and you feel your strength is failing but, This is a reminder To relax, To not get angry over small things, To stay calm. A daily reminder To be yourself, To not care what people think, To know you can be anything. To love yourself, To not hurt yourself, To not work yourself up. This is a daily reminder That you are beautiful, That you can be hardworking  That you are amazing, That you will succeed. To always have hope, To have faith, To know everything will be okay. A daily reminder That you have made it so far already, That you haven't given up, And you are going to be amazing. Don't give up. Keep holding on and believing.  It's a start of a new year and it's too early to feel pressured or insecure God cannot fail you, Be persist in that Job hunt Be persist in trusting God  Be expectant, don't loose guard  Everything will fall in place...
