Unsaid words

-


You know how it feels when you have so many things going on in your life with no one to share them with? It can really be tiring and frustrating because you take so much in, tolerate a lot, endure and suffer many hardships all on your own. It almost  feels like you’re carrying the whole world on your shoulders and at this point the end can't come any sooner.

You feel so hurt and wounded inside and you prefer to keep it that way because your silence is loud enough. Having these feelings cloud your thinking may  be disheartening but in a weird way satisfying. I mean, it’s not like anyone would really care about you or what you’re going through because everyone has his/her own burdens. So why bother another person with yours when you can feel it yourself?

You may be surprised but that’s how I’ve been feeling for a while now. I’ve been feeling alone despite the fact that I do have friends and acquaintances I talk to on daily basis. I guess it’s because  I’m  conscious of who I give access to my life. 

Compared to the previous years in my life, this has changed as I now try to talk to a few people and open up about how I really feel, but deep down, I still feel hurt and I don’t even know why ( Oh, I guess I do). 

To my fellow silent people who do not speak up on what they go through or how they feel, it’s high time we reached out to people. I know it may be difficult to trust people especially if you’re like me who has trust issues, but you’ll feel better if you reach out to people. Part of your problems would be solved by merely sharing them with confidants.

    It really is hard opening up to people because you don't know the real friends.

    Bottling up how you really feel about a particular situation or challenge you might be facing isn't the best thing to do... Share them with people you can trust!! That'd be a good relief & support system.

    True!! Like they say, a shared is half solved. But the real question is whom do you trust enough to share them with. Remember we all have frenemies around us. I just feel that if you've gotten to the stage when you now communicate with the Holy spirit regular, he's the best person to share our innermost thoughts/problems with. Thanks for this beautiful piece, God bless you.

    "comme ci, comme ca". Though it might be difficult to find trustworthy confidants, it is still wise to search and "prove" diligently before sharing because in the multitude of counselors, there is safety. In addition, we have open invitation from our Heavenly Father to discuss and share all issues - prayer time is not meant to be solely for petitions. Finally, self reflection also has some benefits. Thanks

Youthful Lust

-

 The phrase “Youthful Lusts” means different things to different people and it encompasses different areas. A simple definition of the term is an unusually intense, unbridled desire or craving for something which often occurs among people who are young and not yet mature. Youthful lusts do not only border on sexual desires or impure thoughts or ideas but also in the lust for money and the intense desire for power,fame and recognition.    Sexual desires are common among youths of today because we cannot help being attracted to someone but when we begin to fill our hearts with immoral thoughts about the person (most often one of the opposite sex) we are attracted to, allowing these lustful thoughts and ideas to take up space in our hearts, it is sin. It is also a known fact that most times, the spirit is willing to ignore these lusts but the flesh is often weak. Win the battle of sex and you win the battle of life.  Like the common eye defect, myopia, most ...

Garment of praise for heaviness

Something happened some days back - the results of an exam I wrote several months ago came out and I was short of words. My emotions were mixed -not happy, not sad, but something in between. What I got was totally different from what I expected - I expected grades extremely higher, but what I saw was ‘low’ in my eyes. Not necessarily low, but I wasn’t content with what I saw. When I did a rundown of all the grades, I had nothing to say than ‘thank you Jesus’. Some things that would have drastically tarnished my career  lifted me up. I saw ‘A’ in those courses. My joy knew no bounds because I remembered the battle I had with God to give me an ‘A’ or nothing else. I prayed earnestly especially for those courses and I had a pleasant and delightful surprise. My mood changed again. I mean, the devil was in action. He took my mind straight to the course I wasn’t happy with and all I could feel for approximately the next 30 minutes was sorrow. I lamented severely, spoke to my parents and ...

Tit for tat?

  Have you ever been in a situation where someone treats you like trash? I don’t mean a one time thing. I’m talking about a constant habit. This person has no regard for you, your emotions, your well-being and everything that has to do with you. To the person, it’s like you’re a nobody and your viewpoints have no worth. To be honest, it’s not surprising and it necessarily isn’t your fault that the person behaves the way he/she does. You try as much as possible to be a good person that you are, only to be treated like crap. You wonder why the person can’t reciprocate the kindness you show but your thoughts do not count because they can’t influence the person’s nature. Neglected and hurt, you wonder what can be done to change the way things are. Sometimes, you may even contemplate on dancing to the tunes of the person in question, but to be honest, that is not the best way to resolve things. What then do you do when you’re in this situation? Do you keep on being nice? Do you give up ...
