That feelings


Dear Diary,

7th, January 2020

11:58am, Nigerian Time

I have never experienced that feelings. That feelings some girl do feel. The feeling of having a boyfriend. A full-time boyfriend. The contentment that comes with having a partner, one where feelings are mutual. I miss that part. Maybe I might experience the love later in my life. When others are having sex, I am on my little bed sleeping away time. When friends talk about their boyfriends, I get sullen, hiding in my shell. Every part of my life have been about struggle and love is one of it. Well, now I worry less. I let things flow naturally. I don't force friendship, relationship or a lover. I don't assume it in my head either. Now, I love myself more.

Most times I wonder if I will ever get married because I have never dated anyone before. I have had sex, but not really in a serious relationship. It was more of fun and a playboy thingy. I gave my heart out and got it broken. I am always friend zoned. No guy ask me out. And sometimes I just feel I am not normal, maybe something is wrong with me. A 24 years old girl going to 25 without a man. And other times, I accept everything in good fate.

Each time girls talk about their boyfriends, I don't tell them I don't a boyfriend to avoid being mocked or ridiculed.

I wish life be kind to me that I don't have to struggle or beg for love and things anymore. The past 24 years have been that of struggling. Struggling to be born, struggling to be in school, struggling to go to school, struggling to get good grades in school, struggling to get love from parents. I had everything I ever needed but I found myself struggling. Struggling to stop abuse at home, struggling to get my father say good things about me, struggling to be a good daughter. struggling to see a good marriage in my parents, crying as a child and thinking when my father will stop beating my mother and when things will be alright. But things went worst as the days break. 

It's lonely here I must say. Having to sleep at night with no one to cuddle me. Crying and no one comforts me. Expressing my love to myself because no one loves me better.

I hope life be kind.

BLOGS I LOVE READING

Image
I discovered a new hobby, reading blogs. Surfing the internet and reading personal blogs is my new found hobby. I feel inspired and encouraged reading the lives of others especially a diary, journal or personal blogs. And I do lots of research online too. Every morning, I peep through www.makingsenseofcent.com. Making Sense of Cent is a personal finance blog owned by Micheal. She started the blog to document her student loan debt. I enjoy visiting her site even now than ever when I read she is pregnant and would be expecting her baby in December. I am super excited and waiting to see her beautiful baby. Another blog I visit is www.Bellanaija.com. A lifestyle and entertainment blog owned by Uche Pedro. In her blog, you see beautiful brides, happily ever after marriage and beautiful Nigerian weddings and couples. One thing I love about Bella Naija is her positivity towards marriage. Even though many marriages today are collapsing, she till put up beautiful and lovely stories of marriage.

Everyday Gratitude

Image
 Today I am grateful for life. I am grateful for good health. I am grateful for peace. Just being happy without anything being responsible for it. I am grateful for all the things I have in my life. I am grateful for my friends and the good people I have around me. I am grateful for love. I haven't found one yet but I am grateful. I am grateful for slow living. Waking up everyday, not rushing over anything and just living. So far, the feeling is wonderful. And I learned to trust God through the frustrations, obstacles, fears, tears and rejections. In my life I have seen the power of God. This is why I keep myself for Him and stay faithful to Him. No matter who I turn out to be, I will be grateful to God. I have gone through a lot already but each day, I thank God that those obstacles, bitterness and frustrations never took my life. I kept living. So everyday I live, breathe and see a new day, I give God praises.  Elizabeth Diaries ❤️

WORK GIVES FULFILLMENT

Image
Work is life, life is work. Work is fulfillment. Work saves us from depression, anxiety, frustrations of life, death and troubles. Also, it pays our bills. So a person who isn't working is a dead soul. Even though your parents are well to do or your brother, husband or whosoever is catering for you, it is good you have something doing. This is very necessary because at the end of the day, you see a housewife complaining about money and her husband's behaviours. What happens when they person catering for you dies or in cases of accident or eventuality? Everyone was born with a purpose, a calling and dreams. You discover your purpose and pursue your self development. You go to school, you learn a trade or skill, you perfect your craft, you create time for yourself and your hobbies, you develop yourself in any way you can. Apart from the money that work brings, work gives happiness and a sense of purpose. You are defined by your work and service to others. Moreover, work takes you
