Stagnation, my new obsession .

By -

Ever been in a predicament were you have no clue what to do next, who to be next, when to be what you need to be even up to matters as insignificant as what to eat ? I like to call it the stagnant stage.
Stagnant stage: a phase in life which does not allow you to experience new success, joy or achievements because you have been stuck in a particular level with no hope of moving forward.



Sweethearts! That's the phase I am experiencing, a phase where I know I have to write, but I know not what to write, I have to eat but I don't think it fixes the problem, I need new business ideas but yet I seem to fall short, I need love all  round but it seems the world is already consumed by hate. So what do I do ? I am sick and tired of trying to be and look miss Perfect. It hasn't helped me in anyway , because people do not expect me to have problems. In fact their everyday wish is to be like me, but they have no idea what goes on in my mind behind my beat face, my slayed  body and even my oral b smile because, I have mastered the act of pretense so well, that I deserve a Nobel for my ability to mask the truth even from the shadows . 







I am dead inside and I can't seem to find the light at the end of the  tunnel, or was it just a figurative statement meant to give hope to us susceptible and gullible children to swallow hook, line and sinker as we enjoyed the charade of the fact that whenever life got  tough there  was a supposed and expected victory at the end of trying times to keep us going. But how can I experience the victory when the phase won't pass over like the angel of death did the Israelites, rather it rests on me as it did on the Egyptians. I know am speaking Bible, but it seems to be the only book that can explain this emptiness I feel, looking out the window and watching all my dreams die inside of me, long before anyone gets a chance to see it manifest. Is there a doctor for this , a medicine or even a miracle? or just anything that could pick me out of this dormancy into a free flowing terrain? I might speak as one who is lost, but truth is I am still on the verge , cos if I were lost I won't be able to realize my faults nor my issues. I am desperate for help, what should be my solution? 
My name is Desire! And this is my current state of the heart. 

Welcome to Harobed Talks, hope you enjoy my mindless musings, experiences and imaginations.

Have you ever known love? Have you ever felt love? Have you ever been in love? I ask because all three have happened to me and it was the best feeling and experience I could have ever wished for in my life time. It made the 9decades I spent on earth worth the while, reason being that Margaret made me know love, feel love and be in love she was bliss itself.  Have you ever experienced a love so strong that even when she nags you can't help but smile and love her even deeply? I recall so many times I would literally frustrate her with my annoying traits and she would not even move an inch, or try to react but rather walk into the kitchen and make me my favorite meal. She was a proverbs 31 woman with her issues of course but then, they were the best 40 years of my life. Yes 40 years! And no I didn't get married at 50,but Margaret left me quite early,umm cancer came when we least expected thinking it could stop me from knowing, feeling and being in love but Margaret's

THE ILLUSION!

Pain isn't something that gives you a choice as to the intensity or the severity. It kinda has a mind of its own.  I once saw a poster for a pain killer I think IBEX or so and it read "pain is constant but suffering is optional" and that day it made so much sense to me  cos I felt, there was sort of a cure for every pain no matter how intense, it could be rid off. This belief was so strong that when I experienced a pain I could not cure, I dared not believe it! I said "there has to be something, anything that could rid me of the pain I felt all over, physically , spiritually, emotionally and all the rest". So I kept searching for the cure at all cost, mindless of the consequences hoping that the pain would cease and the void would be filled.  I tried every and anything from sleeping pills to pain killers to hard drugs to cigarettes to alcohol to sexual exploitation and yet that dull ever nagging pain just won't leave.  I had lost all hope,in fac

MY YAHOO BOY EXPERIENCE

EPISODE 1 My name is Edidiong Ugoma, I am 21 years old and I am fresh out of the university. I was born into one of those homes you would call average, in the sense that we always had food to eat,the necessities we needed and we got good education. My parents aren’t overly religious, but they sure as hell are overly protective and I was their only daughter so you can imagine the pressure. I went to mission schools, like OLA and the rest and wound up in a Christian private university. I was sure going to become the president of CAN one day. Now because of all these restrictions, on a scale of one to ten I was a very decent girl. But deep down, I knew that a part of me wanted to break out, see the world, explore, do all the fun stuff that youths these days carry out. I didn’t want to do bible study classes any more or evangelism outreaches, as they had been my bread and tea for the past twenty years of my life. So I studied hard, not because I wanted to make anybody proud b

DEAR ALEX: A Tribute

  Alexander Thomas Emmanuel Longsam For all the pictures on the gram I didn’t like. For all the goofy comments I didn’t post . For all the phone calls I never made. For all the hurts that I never forgave. For all the times I never reached out. For all the times I put a wall up so you could never reach me. For all the times I thought you’d never leave me. For all the times I took your love for granted. For all the times I took advantage of your friendship. For all the times I’d never hear your voice because you’re gone. I grieve !  The Curse   I thought we’d grow old together  Remember how we said that we’d be funky grandparents sitting down on our pouch by the beach, Skyping each other and gossiping about our grand kids and their crushes. How we talked about lighting up the stage with our fine acts. How you wrote me a letter telling me this friendship was for eternity.  What do I do with all these failed promises ? How do I cope with this v

"I have made money" party

  The youths of these days amaze me a lot, how will someone that worked hard,toiled, sweated and even starved to make money  💰  finally get the money and decides a few days/ weeks later to throw a "I have made money party" is that one not proper brain disorder? I don't understand it, when my friend mentioned it to me I started wondering what the person did to get that money. I mean if it was I who had gone through all that stress my first agenda would not be to throw a party telling the whole world how much money I had but rather think of an investment that would ensure the stability of that cash before throwing one useless party that will only be a liability.  My generation though! I won't blame them much after all the world has provided so many get rich easily schemes that nobody knows what it means to toil for their money. Am sure you're wondering what kind of bad belle person I am for wanting people to suffer before becoming comfortable, well that's
