Contentment, Fears, Insecurities
On Fear
Nobody owes you anything
Understanding this alone will send a shock wave right down your spine if and when you come to terms with this reality, at certain points (age) in our lives, some things are other people’s responsibility, but it is wisdom to find your feet or explore your own pathway as soon as you possibly can all things been equal. The longer you stay in the “La La Land” of other’s people’s influence and ways of thinking, without having your own opinions…..till then chances your fears will be conquered…..Selah
On Insecurities
We are all guilty of projecting our fears on people, past failures, past regrets, past failed decisions, it takes a level of self-awareness to know when you begin to do this to people, it also takes another higher level of self-awareness to know what “Insecurities” to accept and not to accept from anybody, In this my young life, I have learnt to never allow anybody prepare you for a war, that is not yours and more importantly you’re not prepared to fight. We are all always going to project our insecurities at certain points in our lives to other people, I have learnt just say what you have to say, and keep it moving, no long talk, everybody will fine at the end of the day.

Re: “Nobody owes you anything”
In the wise words of the under my umbrella crooner, “all of my kindness is taken for weakness” people tend to gravitate to anybody because of the perception of what they feel they can get from said person, we are all guilty of this, the question now then becomes is there a mutual exchange of value? it is sacrificial to give, but as with all things ,even with giving, requires wisdom, wisdom to say when is this enough at this point. “Nobody wan die, but we all wan go heaven”, both literally and figuratively
