Depression

Teen Depression | What it is all about

November 1, 2016

Depression is misery. It tampers heavily with emotions and it goes beyond just that word “depression”. I see depression as a miserable thing with many branches that can destroy one’s life, in bits. Have you ever imagined this happening to an adolescent? It is tragic. I’m not saying others deserve to be depressed, no one deserves it at all, it’s like a disease that should never be gotten in the first place. … More Teen Depression | What it is all about

My School Crush- 1

October 29, 2016

The day I decided I couldn’t hold it in any longer was the night we were both sent on an official assignment, so we slept in a hotel just for that day, Dayo suggested we share the same room, I didn’t argue, I even loved the idea so I could finally tell him how I have been feeling for the past NINE years. I started with a light topic by how he was never serious with girls, that he was not getting any younger. He just smiled and told me he had a surprise for me… … More My School Crush- 1

Fashion Styles and Wardrobe | by Toluwalase Ayomide Bismark

It’s good to clear out your closet, once in a while, and give out clothes that you aren’t wearing or haven’t worn in a year. Makes it easier to dress up plus you’ll know what you’ve got. Try everything on and if one doesn’t fit any longer, get rid of it. It’s miserable keeping clothes you can’t wear! … More Fashion Styles and Wardrobe | by Toluwalase Ayomide Bismark

Life’s Lessons Through My Years | by Amao Williams Praise

October 27, 2016

We are shouted at and told, “No! Get away from there! Stop that! Put that down!”. Physical punishment and the withholding of love, possibilities that scare us and make us feel insecure, often accompany these shouts and criticisms. We soon begin to believe that we are too small, too weak, incompetent, inadequate, and incapable of doing anything new or different. We express this feeling with the words, “I.can’t, I can’t, I can’t.”. The fear of failure is the primary reason for failure in teenagers life. As a result of destructive criticism in childhood, we hold ourselves back as teenagers. We sell ourselves short. … More Life’s Lessons Through My Years | by Amao Williams Praise

From Young Boys to Real Men- 5 | by Anointing Ogie

The careless listener only sees that Bill Gates dropped out of school, he doesn’t see how that Bill Gates studied and was somewhat a bookworm and a National Merit Scholar who scored 1590 out of 1600 in his SAT examinations. He seems not to understand that Bill Gates dropped out of “Harvard University”, not as an excuse, because he was careless with his academics, nor because he was mediocre. … More From Young Boys to Real Men- 5 | by Anointing Ogie

Clarity

Clarity | Life-Trip

October 20, 2016

If I were to pit the knowing voice that arose from the confusion against the confused voice, the knowing voice would be like me after eight hours of sleep and a good breakfast, and the confused voice would be like me with no sleep and a shot of tequila.
The former just feels a little more trustworthy, a little sounder, and a little more grounded. The latter is louder, more repetitive, and maybe even a little more passionate, but it lacks substance. I get the very clear sense that I might be better served by the former.
That’s how I know that the knowing voice was clarity. … More Clarity | Life-Trip
