So I’ve been here wondering what have I gotten myself into?
Sigh, I’m gonna follow through till the last shot drops so I’m not even about to tap out before this is over. Life is love and like love, it has its challenges, beautiful times, hurtful events, days when you just wanna give up on that spouse/partner/sibling/friend who seems to have repeatedly gotten on your 12 cranial nerves, hurt you on a regular even when he/she fails to realise this or says it’s totally unintentional. Some days the reverse is the case and you are the villain.
Life like love has its phases and some of these most shy away from without realising these are some of the most crucial experiences, these are the moments that shape our destinies, our purpose cause every decision at these focal points can alter a lot about your existence. There are so many sensitive topics and challenges we face but are afraid to speak out for fear of stigmatisation and also because we would rather not have to deal with the heart wrenching feeling that justice might not be served.
Anger is deadly when it gets the best of you, especially when you lose all control to it. Anger is mostly abusive if it isn’t channeled appropriately.
Abuse of any kind has an adverse effect on the general well being, growth and confidence of its victims as well as their outlook on life in a grotesque manner that most never get an opportunity to straighten.
Alcohol Addiction among other substances abused are steady on the rise. These things give us a false grasp at desperate hope/lessness but once the effect of such substances wear thin like a boomerang we turn in to despair like a warm bed after a cold day of hard labour hence using these substances over and over again as a resolve whilst acting irrationally and blaming it on these substances/vices.
Though most times we use them as a subterfuge; unashamedly display behavioural patterns we are too cowardly to gather enough courage to exihibit without these things as happy triggers. Due to the frequent or constant use of these substances in our system, we depend on their use to get by, but do we really get by, since we take these things till we get inebriated or high to the point that we become a hazard even to ourselves? Most of the things are resultant effects of causes influenced by choices we make and the impact of such decisions truncate our progress or stagnate it, as the case may be. If a loved one begins to manifest irrational behavioural patterns; an extrovert suddenly becomes recluse or an introvert suddenly loud and overbearing, please find a way to reach out to such a person to find the root cause of the problem & don’t be surprised if they are aggressive cause it’s a normal reaction with persons battling with some type emotional trauma or battling with any type of addiction.
It could be that someone you know who might have outta the blues started to act funny, irrationally or suddenly wouldn’t wanna do anything or be able to complete simple tasks, though such a one was a go getter before the appearance of these weird behavioural patterns.
Most times instead of reaching out we begin to spread word about how these persons have changed though when we meet with them we share hugs and smiles, some “fiends” distant themselves from such persons and never reach out to find out why the sudden change.
This is not what they need from us as this may push them further into their cocoon. Hurt and confused persons are usually defensive, they are prone to spewing hateful/hurtful words.
These people need love the most though they seem undeserving of it. Help a friend get help today. We all need each other, we all need love, love needs us to show love today, send love and a prayer for clarity and peace someone’s way today. Help the hurting to heal not to stray some more with the words you say or fail to say. Love is a verb.
Show love don’t make a show outta love Share some in whatever way necessary today.
Salaam!
