Everything Happens For A Reason.

This is the first time I'm using a phrase as a title for my blogpost but honestly it's the best way to express how I feel right now.

Sometimes life seems to be falling apart like a Nature Valley granola bar but, just like that bar, it all works out in the end. In the case of the bar, it gets digested and you get the necessary nutrients from it, and in life - the purpose of the tough situation eventually surfaces and it all works out.

"Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning" is a beautiful bible scripture that explains the ups and downs in life beautifully. Sometimes you may feel so beaten down you'll think you don't even have the bones to get back up on your feet, I'm here to tell you that no matter how hard a situation may seem, so long as you're still alive, there's still hope.

The same boiling water that softens yam will harden an egg - its not about the circumstance but it's about what you're made up of. You can decide to let the situation you're in break or make you. 

It's all up to you.

The Mole.

Knowing that no one gets away with anything scot-free is all the consolation I need in times of painful betrayal. For anyone who has been reading my blog right from the start, you’d know that it was a case of betrayal that led me to start this blog in the first place. Ah, that time the pain was as fresh as a knife wound, but hey, it started off a good thing right?

                                   The style of my latest case of betrayal was classic - a mole.

But see this mole not only betrayed several people who trusted him/her, no, this mole went further and beyond the scope of his/her assignment. This mole, after stabbing us metaphorically still came around as a lovely nurse only to pour salt into our wounds.

This mole continued life as though totally free of any wrongdoing and weaved their way amidst their victims as though all was well.

This mole; is convinced he/she has gotten away with the ill deeds that were committed.

But I know better. I know that I serve a God who said, “Vengeance is mine” and “Touch not my anointed and do my prophet no harm.” I also know my God never sleeps nor slumbers so he definitely knows what this person did. So I’ll go on with my life as normal, and I’ll leave it to God.

Privacy.

Privacy is something that isn't regarded as much in today's society as in the past. Today we have people's diaries being read and iClouds getting hacked. Today we have private Direct Messages being screen Munched and put up as display pictures for all eyes to feast upon. Today we have trusted conversation's content being spilled for cheap jokes.

Privacy, where did it's respect go? Why is it okay to rummage through someone's messages when you ask to see their phone? Why is it normal to ask in-depth questions to surface friends?

The truth is, it isn't. Know your limits and respect other people's privacy. Don't let your aproko (nosiness) push others away from you. Let them be. If they haven't told you a certain fact about their life be patient enough for when they're ready to tell you - don't badger them into spilling.

Note: respect is reciprocal.

Modest Fashion 101
