Failed Dreams


She was a young girl that lived across the street. She had the cutest face and dimples that was like no other. I was and have always been a shy boy. Every time she stepped out of her house across the street, it was as if I had an automatic notification. I would always peep through our window and watch her walk gracefully, I would stare at her and wallow in self-pity because I wasn’t bold enough to reach out to her and every time she walks pass my house and glanced at my window, I would jump off out of fear, hoping she didn’t notice I was starring.
I had zero confidence in myself and I always took out that frustration by hitting anything and everything in sight till I fill so much pain and then I would sulk and cry the pain out. It was so much torture. I just couldn’t help but think of her every time I saw her and even when I didn’t but I was always shy of relieving myself of this gruesome pain and excessive burden until one day, she came out of her house and as usual,  I peeped through the window. She walked through the street with so much tranquility and carefulness. It almost seemed like she knew I was starring at her.
She looked back and waved. I got heart struck immediately and swiftly moved away from the window not knowing that was a good bye wave. I smiled and was happy about this but unfortunately she was reported dead the next day as she was hit by a bus on her way back home. I felt extremely traumatized as tears couldn't stop pouring from my eyes and everyother part of my body knowing fully well that my emotions and feelings for her died in me without expressing myself.

LESSON - NEVER EVER ALLOW YOUR DREAMS BE LIKE A MAN WHO CAN'T EXPRESS HIS FEELINGS TO A LADY UNTIL HE LOOSES HIS CHANCE AND ALLOWS THIS FEELING  DIE AND DECAY IN HIM. BE CONFIDENT ENOUGH TO TAKE ACTIONS TO ACHIEVING YOUR DREAMS AND ASPIRATIONS UNTIL IT AGRRES TO FALL IN LOVE WITH YOU AND OBEY YOUR EVERY COMMAND. YOU CAN MAKE IT ONLY IF YOU FACE YOUR FEARS AND TAKE THOSE BIG STEPS SO FIND THE KNOWLEDGE ESSENTIAL FOR YOU TO ACHIEVE YOUR FUTURE AMBITIONS AND LET OUT YOUR CAGED POTENTIALS.

Love Language

Love Language This is the way of expressing one's love feelings towards one's family, friend, spouse, girlfriend, or any other loved one Primary Language of Love: I refer to this as the best preferred way or act to express one's love to another person. Major Love Languages are: 1. Words of affirmation 2. Giving of gifts 3. Acts of service 4. Quality time 5. Physical touch All humans have one or more of the 5 major Love Languages as part of their attribute. They show it unconsciously to everyone they get closely related to. Most people don't know their Love Languages and that's part of the reasons they have interpersonal problems relating among friends, associates, colleagues, families etc. Love Languages aren't only for people sexually related or people in love but exist among friends and family. It is the way you presently relate with siblings, families and friends that you most likely extend to that soul mate of yours. Some people don't s...

APPRECIATED

It’s always a hurtful thing when we don’t feel appreciated or loved when we perform a good deed or help out in different ways that we can, especially for people we hold dear to our hearts. Funny thing is, everyone (Like God, our father) loves to be appreciated or acknowledged for a job well done or for a stitch in time that we make, and there is nothing wrong with that. In a small way we are all heroes. For us to acknowledge the work of others or the effort of friendships or any kind of relationship in our lives, we need to have an increased measure of sensitivity and a heart of gratitude. These magic words are short, simple to understand and are easy to apply but are not used as often as they should: Thank you, I love you, that’s thoughtful, Please, That’s thoughtful and I appreciate it, you did a great job; keep it up, etc. As important as words can be, nothing is more proving of your gratitude than your actions. Actions speak louder than words, you know? Another way to s...
