The Essence of Time

Let’s talk about Time. It’s an enigma that governs our lives yet slips through our fingers. Time is both our greatest ally and our most daunting foe. From the moments of severe trials to the treasures that emerge, time is the silent witness to our journey. It's one attribute that remain glued to us, even when its presence seems to have slipped our memory. 

How do you see time? What’s your view of it? Have you ever had a deep thought of what time is and how it affects you? What opinion do you have about time?

Many people flow in and out of our lives, like a river. Challenges and trials drill into our existence, but they never stay for ever. However, time remain glued to us, come rain, come shine. In your happy days, time is there with you. In your darkest hour, its presence still hovers around you.

What’s our viewpoint of time in days of adversities? Those days feel like eternity. Every second stretches, testing our patience and resilience. It’s in these trials that the very essence of time unfolds. It demands from us a degree of fortitude we never knew we possessed. Time many times helps to bring out the strength in us. As we navigate several storms, we learn to value the present, knowing that each second incubates a lesson, a story, a chance to grow and an opportunity to thrive.

One thing we don’t pay attention to is the fact that, it is from these very trials that treasures are born. As time goes by, wounds will heal, and scars will become tales of survival. The difficulties faced today will become the wisdom of tomorrow. Time, with its persistent forward march helps to transform our struggles into strengths, our failures into a citadel of experiences that governs our future decisions. Time is a powerful tool of progress only when you see it that way.

Every time the clock ticks, it’s a testimonial to the transient nature of life. It reminds us to seize the moment, to cherish the present, and to embrace the lessons time dishes. The elegance of time lies in its duality- its capacity to test and reward, to challenge and comfort. Time is indeed a powerful tool.

So, let us treasure time, for within its trials are hidden gems waiting to be discovered. embrace the journey, for every moment is a precious fragment of the mosaic that is our life, our existence. Every single moment, no matter how tiny and insignificant, adds to the richness and the depth of our existence.

In the end, it is time that shapes us, molding our experiences from mere trials into priceless treasures.

MY JOURNEY SO FAR: WRITING THE NOVEL TITLED “THE DANCE OF LOVE AND PAIN”

Image
  2018 was the year it all began, just a few months after I graduated from university. I had joined a WhatsApp group named “Singles & Married,” and was always thrilled by the series of short stories shared on the platform. As I read through the stories, I felt a nudge deep within me, beckoning from the abyss of my soul, whispering, “You can also write engaging and thrilling stories.” Back in primary school, I had written several short children’s stories which I compiled into a storybook. That was the plan, but it didn’t work...

WHEN LIFE HAPPENS Part 1: THE CONSTANT

  WHEN LIFE HAPPENS Part 1: THE CONSTANT In the equation of life, change remains a constant; a fixed value that’s never altered by the alternating variables around it. In fact, all variables dance to the tune of the constant in any equation they find themselves. Irrespective of the length of the equation, no matter how long it takes to get the equation solved, the constant remains unmoved. Every equation is a process targeted towards achieving a desired result, it’s either you cooperate with the constant to attain the desired result, or you sideline the constant and ditch your desired result. The desired result can never be attained without cooperating with the constant of the equation, and such is life. Life is an equation, a process driving towards a result. However, life has a constant in its equation and that constant is called “Change.” Change is no respecter of status, it doesn’t care if you’re wealthy or not, it has no gender preference, it pays no attention to your height, ...

VICTIMS OF LOVE?

Image
Many hearts have crashed severally, while millions are currently crashing because of this four-letter word: LOVE. Heartbreak have become a norm in our society as it appears to have come to stay. Many are drowning in the pit of agony, deception, and betrayal, because of this same word: LOVE. They have been submerged in pain, stabbed with a dagger in their hearts and left to bleed. Many hearts have crashed so hard against their ribs that it echoed in their brains,  all because of LOVE. Some people call them "Victims of Love." Is that the truth? Love is good, love is fun, and love is pleasurable. Love births great things, but when not properly handled, a lover can become a victim. As pleasurable as love is, it has been misused and abused by many. Many victims have crawled to recovery while the scar remained permanent, but many never recovered. Was love meant to be a source of pain and distress? Is it right to call them victims of love? The fact that many have abused love d...
