Romance / The Ungettable Girl. Beauty And Brains by JoeyDdamsel(f): 9:46am On Feb 15, 2018
The secret to a good relationship is to meet the 'UngettableGirl', this is the kind of lady guys need.

I repeat Need not Want


Lets begin with an illustration of 3 women;


Woman 1 will be walking into the bar first. We will classify her as an average looking woman with a great personality. As she steps foot into our “fake” bar no one notices. No men actively pursue her and she has a fun night out with her friends.



Woman 2 is going to be walking into our bar after Woman 1. I have decided that she is going to be a beautiful woman with a bad personality. When she enters the bar she gets a lot of attention. Men will actively pursue her. Of course, with her personality her prospects of a lasting relationship are not very high.



Last but not least is woman 3. This woman is the whole package. She is has the beauty and the brains. She is going to enter the bar and get a lot of attention just like Woman 2 did. Men will pursue her continually and since her personality is great she has a good chance of establishing a lasting relationship.

Literature / My Vision For Nigeria, What Is Yours? by JoeyDdamsel(f): 10:21am On Feb 14, 2018
The problems we face in Nigeria, Electricity being one of them. It is not steady, very very unreliable, the bills at the end of the month is ridiculous considering the bill doesn't account to the few hours of electricity given for that month.

Every newly elected President or Governor that comes into office promises to fix the problem but things just keep getting worse, so the question is

What are they really doing to improve the Electricity in this country?

Take for example, Port- Harcourt, Rivers State has not had any light whatsoever for the past 3 days, most communities longer than 2 weeks, What is Governor Wike doing?

Not all of us can afford to constantly run Generators for hours, and those who do, feel the pinch in their pockets at the end of the month when the alerts roll in.

Okay fine! I give him Kudos for his constant road Constructions in some remote villages but I believe we deserve alot more.

Literature / 87 Year Old College Student, Rose by JoeyDdamsel(f): 11:54pm On Feb 12, 2018
The first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn’t already know.

I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me with a smile that lit up her entire being.

She said, “Hi handsome. My name is Rose. I’m eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug?”

I laughed and enthusiastically responded, “Of course you may!” and she gave me a giant squeeze.

“Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?” I asked.

She jokingly replied, “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, and have a couple of kids…”

“No seriously,” I asked. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age.

Literature / The Circle Of Relationships by JoeyDdamsel(f): 2:02pm On Feb 06, 2018
Hello guys, If you enjoyed my last posts. Kindly click on my link below and kindly subscribe. Thanks

https://mybleedingedge..com.ng/

I have learnt a lot from my previous relationships but nothing could better explain the "Circle of Relationships" like Tyler Perry- Madea's powerful words of advice

If someone wants to walk out of your life... LET THEM GO especially when you have done your best, You have put in your Time, your Energy and have been the best person you could possibly be.


They say "You don't know what you have till you loose it" and when they realise they made a mistake it would be too late for them to come back running to you.

When you reminisce three, four years back about some relationships you cried about you would think 'What on earth did I see in you?' 'I must have been on some real good Crack'

Some people come into your life for a lifetime while some come in for a season, You have to realise which is which... and you will mess them up when you mix up the seasonal people with the lifetime expectations.

You realise your life has turned to SHIT, you are never happy and you wonder why you never have peace.

She classified people that come into her life in the category of a Tree...

Some people are like Leaves on a Tree. When the wind blows they move, always unstable. Season changes they wither and die off. Most people in the world are only there to take from the Tree never adding value.

Some people are like a Branch on a Tree, they make you think they are good friends - strong and reliable but when you step on them they break off and leave you high and dry.

But these are very rare, the Roots, if you find some people who are like the Roots of a tree then you are truly blessed cos they are not going anywhere. They are not worried about being seen, they are not worried about what people will say or about what they doing for you.

You can have a million branches but without the Roots, the Tree can't live. So if you have some Roots in your life hold on to them and the rest you LET THEM GO.

After reading these, I scrolled through my contact list and differentiated the Roots from the Leaves and the Branches.

I also realised that I couldn't remember the last time I was single. I always had a boyfriend at every point in time, someone to cling onto, which I didn't need. They were always there to TAKE, TAKE, TAKE never giving back. They take your Money, waste your Time, your Energy and use your Body.

I said NO MORE... I broke up with my boyfriend and concentrated of fixing Me because two bad yokes make a bad Omelette, One bad egg and one good egg still makes a smelly Omelette.
You get where this is going?

Society makes us think that we are cursed if we are Single, that a girl has to be married at a particular age or you are 'Old Goods'. We need to learn the 'Act of Singleness' cos no matter how many people you date and you haven't work on yourself, then am sorry to say this but that new 'Relationship is Doomed'.

People praying 'Where is my Man?' 'Lord, Help me find my Prince Charming'... Girl, Shut the Hell Up and Wait !!! If you don't know how to be by yourself what you gonna do with somebody else?



The Philosophy of Life... When you want something does not necessarily mean it will come that particular time.... Nope but it happens at the Right Time not at Your Time.







You should never go into a Marriage thinking if it doesn't work out... well there is always the option of Divorce. You won't believe the Crazy things people put up with just to be in a Relationship!!!


For example, He beats the living day lights out of you and you still there? For Real !!! You ain't reported him? or filed a Restraining Order?


I rather be by myself Happy than be with someone else that will make me Miserable for the rest of my Life.

Literature / Your Companion... Your Food And Your Fashion by JoeyDdamsel(f): 3:18pm On Feb 02, 2018

https://mybleedingedge..com.ng/

Have you ever sat down to consider how these three things affect how you think, feel and how you are judged?

Well, I guess most haven't. So let me break it down for y'all.

An instance, I was in Paris during the Fashion Week and wore a Louis Vuitton Red gown matched with some simple Lapearl accessories and had my hair woven in a fish braid then tucked in a stylish bun. But the eye popper was the backside of my dress, while everyone else had on floral gowns and jumpsuits, Noo... Not me... I had a bare backside except for a series of beads running from one shoulder to the next. I had ladies who wanted to be me, I had guys who were eye-raping me and of course I had ladies who walked up to me wanting to exchange contacts.

I wouldn't call myself a Fashionista, I just love clothes and I love to shop a lot so I guess that makes me a Shopaholic

The catch Phrase

" You are what you Wear" comes to play here.

You ever been told

" Choose your Friends, Don't let them choose you"

Well... well... well... I'll tell you something now. If you hangout with hoodlums no matter how posh you act, you ain't gonna be taken seriously. Albert the guys that walk up to you also want your 'Cookie' and aren't interested in winning your heart. If you got a friend who is a known call girl, when you walk into a store or the mall to shop, What you think people are gonna be saying?


My all time favourite Food, I love food, I love to eat and I love chocolates. Yeah am a Foodie. I said it. I had always been on the big side but when I watched Khloe Khardashian's Revenge Body. I wanted to be her, I wanted to look like her. She is an inspiration to people out there in the world. It wasn't easy but she did it.

Fit2Fat2Fit believes if you don't diet you can't be fit.

'You are what you Eat'

You want to sit in front of the TV and eat a bucket of Ben n Jerry's then by all means go do that, only if you work out much more than you eat. If not....

I'll ask you a question

Can you go to the beach wearing a two piece bikini and still get whistles? If the answer is No. Then you got to marry THE GYM

"The best project you can ever work on is YOURSELF"

David Knox growing up in a family of 3, he felt different like he was missing something. Always had the feeling that things weren't right and couldn't figure out why. Being born a Jew didn't help him either when he found out he preferred the same sex to the opposite sex. Not only was it frowned upon by his religion but it was also not legalised in the states.

Peter White a quarterback for the school football team and also a close friend of David kissed him during an episode of 50 shades they were watching one night and that was when everything changed and things came crashing down.

He would do the math in his head like he was good in football, he loved interior decoration and also enjoys fashion which was different from the preconceived ideas he had. His parents always had an opinion for everything, they felt people of same sex could be cured with a little therapy, treatment and religion so imagine the horror when he found out. He was willing to kill himself than coming out, unless there was a law that allowed him to be who he wanted to be with no stigmatisation.

"When the fear of accepting change is stripped away, we learn to love people as they are not as we want them to be"

One evening, David was with his family having dinner, he had a gloomy look on his face which his parents noticed since he had been mopping around the house and seemed utterly miserable all week. His parent kept probing him about his sad state of being, after several minutes he blotted out "I am gay", on seeing his parents stunned looks he picked up his phone and left the house.

David went to Peter's house, explained what happened at home and asked to spend the night. They played video games and made out till the early hours of the morning before they both slept off cuddled together. At noon, David got home to find his parents in the sitting room, they called him over and apologised for not been accepting of his sexuality, they said he was their son and would always love him no matter who he decides to love.

Life was looking good for David, he felt like a weight had been lifted off his shoulders after the conversation with his parents. Even though David and Peter started dating * still in the closet* he had hope for a brighter tomorrow.....

"Only by speaking out can we create lasting change. And that change begins with coming out"

"If you posses enough courage to speak out what you are, you will find out you are not alone"

"You See chaos theory isn't really about chaos, it's about how a tiny change in a system can affect everything"

I know what you are thinking. What is this 'Change'?

Before I get to that, I would like to take you through Emily's Adventures...

While most of us look forward to having a bottle of wine and watching our favourite soap opera after a long working week, Emily from El Paso Texas was preparing for her own Friday night escapade in Las Vegas. And you know how the saying goes:

'What happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas'.

The 32 year old has spent the last years ticking off items from her bucket list. Hitherto she has dived out of a plane, gone hiking in an African jungle, auditioned for America got talent show and lived with a tribe for a week.

Emily always felt that life was too short to have a boring- marathon lifestyle so she decided to live life outside her comfort zone. She lost her aunt to breast cancer and one statement her aunt said that changed her mindset forever;

'She wished she lived more, Travelled to Paris with the one she loved but she would always regret the things she didn't have the courage to do but that Emily should not make her mistakes and always find time for a little adventure'

This statement made Emily consider what she was doing with her life and if she was happy, and she realised she wasn't.

She took a leave of absence from her job and bought a one-way ticket to the UK and spent the past months travelling around the world and pushing her boundaries. People thought she was crazy for doing something so spontaneous and she told them

'You only live once, so might as well make it the most of it'

One of the craziest thing she has ever done was to travel to Vegas with the intentions of marrying a complete stranger. She went to a male stripper club and met this Gorgeous Greek god who captured her attention with his moves and had the most amazing emerald eyes she had ever seen. She told him what she wanted to do, he laughed and said 'I like you so why not?'

So she found a chapel and and there were around 30 people there but he didn't show up. She was embarrassed and red faced, so she looked into the crowd and asked if anyone wanted to marry her and a random guy said 'Yes'. They had to go through the process of getting it annulled within 24 hours. It wasn't consummated either.

She would say most of the things on her list were realistic while some were just dip-shit-crazy but she wouldn't have it any other way. She still travels every weekend and ticks off an item from her list. After years of this amazing adventure she can proudly visit her aunt's grave and say

'she has finally scratched her itch'

'Life is all about taking chances and doing the unimaginable'

'One day you will wake up and there won't be any more time to do the things you've always wanted. Do it now'

Skin! soo much skin. Skin to hide my scars, skin to hide my flaws. skin I cover with layers of garment.
Fear! soo much fear. it keeps me stagnant, not voicing it all out, when will I ever overcome it?
Words! never enough to express feelings. words that could change nations but am biting my tongue.
Love! soo easy to feel. soo hard to keep. Love, fades in n out, never in focus. pure souls that become one, eternal.
Attention! I crave it, like the air I breathe. seeking it for all the wrong reasons, from that one person. Just to look my way!
Relationships! soo gullible every time. I think with my heart not my brain. hurts me every time but the same cycle on repeat. when will I learn?
Self! am flawed, you are flawed, who isn't? soo much hope I feel, So long... So long I breathe, all can be overcome.

Most times I watch a movie I think about you, about us, our adventures and times together. About what was, what could have been and never will be. You never put in the work to allow it blossom.

Relationships are like flowers, they look soo beautiful at first sight but with time they dry up when not taken care of or nurtured, they wither and die off but when maintained they grow, produce, blossom.

“I don’t know where I stand with him. And I don’t know what I mean to him. All I know is that every time I think of him, all I want to do is be with him”

This is exactly the way I felt before until he showed me he was not the right person for me, he was years older but not wiser. I wonder when he will be!

I never dated wealthy guys, they seem to be too self absorbed but you were an exception to that rule, I bet you never knew how lucky you were maybe never will.

I watched you dressed like a gentleman, invading my world only to leave it in destruction and open promises. It is such a pity you will never know what you missed until it is too late and I will not be here to run back to.....

[url][/url] mybleedingedge.blogpost.com

I was just 16 and thought I could do anything but little did I know my whole life will change soon with one little decision. I had a boyfriend, who took my virginity got me pregnant and decided he was not ready to be a father. I found myself alone with no help. I did not have the courage to face my parents or my friends with the news. I was sure I would not have an abortion because I would be killing a life and did not want the guilt on my conscience.

I made a decision to go away from home and have the baby. I moved to a place with no friends or family to help with what I was going through in my life. I decided to start a new life with the little money I had saved in my account but it wasn't easy. I found new friends with the neighbours at the little apartment I stayed, ladies who helped me during my pregnancy and also who were there during my labour.

9 months and 3 weeks later I welcomed my baby boy on the 28th of September. I couldn't believe that I could create such a pure being and I made a vow to be the best I can be for my baby. I want him to know he was never a mistake but a blessing.

I love my son and am prepared to do anything for him, but I was also determined to finish my studies, because I knew it would be important for our future if I did. Taking care of my son and staying up all night working on school projects was not easy. Not to mention how we had it financially. 2 years later I graduated with first class honours and got a job in an oil firm.

And even though I now work, my salary is unfortunately not that high, so I still struggle sometimes and have a difficult time giving my child all he would need. I never buy myself anything. If I ever buy anything it is for my son. Sometimes I was depressed and frustrated and felt like my life was over until my son said:

'Mommy, when I grow up, I want to be just like you. You are the best mummy ever!'

And so it was, one day, whilst I was searching for info on how to make your own website online, that I found a really good web host that is also a small business solution. So now, apart from my regular job, I have been building my own websites in the evenings for about a year and a half, and have started to earn money from them. Not so much yet, but the money is starting to come in - slowly but surely. This has really given me a lot of hope.
