What made you stop?

-

 


For a long time, I’ve taken a break from this blog. Not because I don’t have content ideas or I’m not consistent enough. As a matter of fact, I’ve had a number of things to write about since my last published article, but I couldn’t bring myself to it. 

Why then have I not published for so long? What is the problem? It is you, my dear reader who has discouraged me. Not with your comments, but your lack of engagement.

For each article I publish on this blog, I share the link with about 100 people on my contact list and the views from posts isn’t encouraging. I can recall getting a total of 40 views from the last two articles I published and to be honest, it’s discouraging. It’s discouraging because I in so much effort to publish and the outcome does not help matters.

I need to know what the problem is. Does my writing bore you? Am I a bad writer? Or are you too occupied to read? 

The joy of every writer is for her work to be read and appreciated. So, I’m appealing to you to take time out of your busy schedule to read my articles and give me feedback. Let’s do better this second half of 2022 and beyond. But before that, I need you to be honest with me about something: What made you stop reading my articles?

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 ...
