The other side of life ...

     
 There are some parts of life we see everyday, for rich people/celebrities they see people always coming around, bringing gifts, acting all loved up but there's another part of life most people don't get to see which is sad. Most of all this people coming around now just come because they know "you have" they can always benefit from you in one way or the other. Can you just try to pretend like you don't have for a week? Everyone would become a stranger straight up!

Sometimes we have put our mind to things, we are waiting for that specific time we wrote down to make it come through, but at times thats not the time God wants. God can make everything look like jazz/juju is having power over you but he knows what he's doing, when he now does it most of us even forget to say thank you :(. 
I have heard a lot from people, so many stories and I would share one. 

A woman was working in a very big company, her husband was very rich too but sickness and all didn't let him live long, after he died, the pressure and everything made the woman relent, the company wrote a letter to her about her recent way of life at work, but with all she had to quit because of her kids, she wanted to do something she would be able to watch over her kids, working in a company at times women don't even have time to watch over their own kids,they start to behave in weird ways that they learn from outside and it's mostly the duty of the mother to guard the steps of her kids, so thing started becoming hard, her husband was highly connected when he was alive, not even up to a year the connection was useless, everyone started acting strange, then she understood the say that (people only know you when you have and when they can benefit from you). 

She worked so hard to get the little she could afford so that her kids could go to school, her first born was a boy, he grew up to be very tall and had interest in basket ball, he wanted to help himself and make his mum proud and provide so much for her, he just met one man one day that helped him with connections, before we knew it, he had gone to America. Things started changing as the kids were growing up, he had 2 younger sisters, not too long ago he sent for them, to make life a little easier for his mum since he was already making little cash, and that is how this woman bounced back,it took years but God still fought for her, all her husbands family, her husbands friends now remembered her, ah how is this boy and his sisters? 

(Left to me I would forgive but just go your way and let me go my way please! I don't have problem personally but if I don't want you to be around me please just accept and be on your own if not we would be clashing a lot). 

But with her good heart she accepted that life comes like that too just to show her and her kids how people are, today the woman lives in a very big house built by her son in ibadan and she has a driver and a very good cars :) . Her daughters are married and one lives in lagos with lovely kids and successful husband,  the other is also married and living America with her brother & family .

       What am I saying? Trees fall and grow back same as human beings, whatever situation, position you are now isn't permanent, you would bounce over it very soon and you would be like I remember those days, in life we have to be hurt to grow at times. Also if you are rich, you can't be rich for life you can only be comfortable, you can't be famous for life so use you time and position wisely because it doesn't last long :). 

May God bless ussssss and open doors for us! #DamStar

  2. Love it. It reminds me of the bible verse in Job 14:8-9 where it says although a tree might be cut and dying at the scent of water it will rise up. Well done. Xx

Finally! - Am A Writer & Author

i came back from school (America) December 2014 hoping to go back as soon as possible but my dad had another plan for me. He wanted me to transfer schools. Different things happened. I had the longest holiday from school in 2015, it wasn't easy for me too many things happened at once but then God doesn't just delay you for no reason, this particular holiday am talking about Birthed "ONCE UPON A TIME"..  I was bored, nothing to do, then I picked up my laptop and started typing. I am grateful to God for making this my dream a reality. From the onset my dad supported me and my mum was my backbone, my siblings would read the story over and over again and say "Sister Damilola you tried".. I never knew I would write a book but I always knew I loved to write, and I had intention of writing scripts and probably sell or give out but i never knew I would do this, right now i have about 3 short stories i have written almost like once upon a time. i had a tough

Independent woman!

I don't blog on Sunday's but I had to just put up this story and I want it to get to as many people as possible so because of that, there wouldn't be any story up until upper week :).   Every day of my life since have been growing into a woman, I have always imagined myself as a very strong and independent woman. I don't like depending on people at all, I hate it! If you ask my parents am sure they would tell you, i just love to do things on my own because that brings no dissappointment.. Parents dissappoint, friends dissappoint, even partners and siblings dissappoint the only person that doesn't dissappoint is God and I know he has my back. Growing up has shown me so many things and how people can be, it's even the ones that you really love deeply that start showing you that you don't really mean anything to them, some wouldn't even want to talk to you because you probably forgot to message or something and it's even worse because you even ask peopl

The spirit of STINGINESS!

I have watched serveral movies and read different stories and even heard different ones. So am going to share one of it today.   Somepeople are so stingy like I can't explain, it's very sad because me if I like you I can do anything for you and if I don't and I see you need help I would do it but somepeople are self centered with anything, if you ask them for somethig they would always give excuse, I have people am very close to that are like that, they are nice but they are stingy and am sure they even know. What's there to help if you have? Ordinary 1000 somepeople have but they would still cut it to 500 naira 😑, somepeople are even from very rich homes but they would still minimize their life. If i don't give you, believe me it's because I don't have and if I have i would try my best to do one I can. And to stingy people, your reward is coming . There was a man and his wife, they were stingy to the core, asin they were so stingy that if they fart and the
