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, it gives no credit to the lineage you hail from, it tosses no preferential treatment to abilities and disabilities, it gives no stare at the look you wear. The popular saying “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder” makes no sense to change because as far as it’s concerned, everyone wears the same status and that status is called “Being Human.”

So far you’re human, the constant of life called “Change” will pay you several visits at different points of your life, and those visitations are what I refer to as “When Life Happens.” Since change is a constant in life, when those changes stroll into or barge into our lives, I see them as “Life Happening.”

What is Change?

A transition from one state to another is said to be a “Change.” A process that initiates a difference in the life of a man is a change.

If asked to categorize change in two forms, many would categorize it as “Positive (Good) and Negative (Bad) changes. However, I have a different perspective to categorize changes which I’ll discuss in part 2 of this blog post.

No one can escape change, it will surely come. What distinguishes individuals is how they respond to change.

To be continued.

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...

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...
