SELF LOVE??? NAH,TRUE LOVE


Self love:regard for ones well being and happiness.
There are two sides to everything but i guess self love happens to just have 4.One side is the victim,the other side is complications while the remaining two sides shares fear.Everyone is preaching self love when the other person  is at rock bottom or let me rephrase;we blame the people who are at rock bottom or something close for not loving themselves enough.By the way, amidst our self love preaching we are still not loving ourselves.
Moreover,it is easier to say people are not giving themselves the kind of love they deserve when you are on the other side of the coin because to be on the side of complications is better than being a victim.
I feel most people who think they love themselves a lot are actually on the level of complications.Trust me,complications love themselves but still feel a slight emptiness the self love journey they embarked on isn't filling.
Maybe i do not understand what self love really mean or i have a falsified perception about love but i believe self love doesn't stand on its own
Self love is a plant that needs to grow
self love needs water and nutrient
self love needs sunshine
self love needs someone to remove the weeds around it
and this plant on its own cannot do all these
Self love needs help

 Some people just need a little love from others while the rest needs desperate love.Even though on most scenarios,this may not be achieved..NEEDING SOMEONE TO LOVE YOU SHOULDN'T BE SEEN AS WEAKNESS.This is the reason why the self love we are walking towards seems to be running quite fast.

 We have hidden what love really means,captured the moments we feel should be termed as love, applied filters on it and then presented it to the world as to what love should look like, after all; our pictures with filters look way better.
The need for love,the real meaning of love has no connection with weakness.

    Wow sis! This resonated with me so much. I too blog about developing self love and it's so easy to preach yet way harder to feel and practice. Sharing and advising is great but to live it fully is my goal, and yes, it is complicated. Keep up the great work!

My Identity Crisis

  Oh, hello This is uum kind of awkward. You would think after doing this for so many years, I would be so courageous and confident to stand before a crowd. It's almost like every event I'm invited for,is a chance to stand on the stage again for the very first time.  Somehow I believe that's the beauty of it all, the nervousness, excitement, the adrenaline spike that rushes through my body helping me prepare so I don't get so comfortable in my God-given abilities and slip up. Well, as some of you may know My name is Emediong Francis Udoudoh and I wear many hats but for this event, I choose to wear my green public speaking hat. Can I have a seat please? I hope that's fine yea, okay I think I would be more comfortable if I assume the friendly kind of vibe position. Thank you very much. So, as I was saying my self and my green hat we want to talk you today about identity. As many of you may know, I am the founder of Dimensionsofgold conglomerate but what you don't ...

It's My Body I Can Do Whatever I Want With It

"It's my body I can do whatever I want with it" Amongst the numerous quotes and sayings I have recently deduced as 'wrong', this happens to be the most insane. To crown it all, there are movements to actually support this notion  headed by women who claim to be Christians when the question of religion and going to church arises but when it comes to how they should dress to church and life at large it suddenly becomes; 'its my body, I can do what I want". This movement has been covered under the canopy of 'self love and do you, the world will adjust' and it just surprises me when Christian women pledge to this movement with their dressing without understanding God will never adjust to mans movement when he has a movement of his own. Click to read my views on making vows It is very confusing because in as much as these women claim to pray and study the word, I have reasons to believe they ignore verses where God says our bodies belong t...

On Being A Feminist

The other day I was privileged to attend an event, it wasn't necessarily a church program but it centered around Christianity and women. So of course the guest speakers would be women but one was particularly very interesting. This lady  went on and on about how Christian women should act, which I agreed for the most part and learnt new  things. However, she took me aback with a particular statement she made "you can't be a Christian and a feminist". She went ahead to attempt to back up her claim by saying "feminism is a cult group". At this point the only thing I could utter was Hmmm, wahala dey o. I immediately had to google the meaning of feminism and right after I searched for misandry. I know there has been a lot of attack on people who identify as a feminists but this was the first time I heard "...you can't be both a Christian and a feminist". I had a lot of questions as you might have guessed. I honestly just wanted to understand where ...
