LOW MAINTENANCE COST


We all at some point in our lives have used machines, gadgets etc. Basically, no one likes getting an device or machine that has a high maintenance cost. It only leaves you with loads of regret. Then you start wishing you went for something else with less stress.
Today I will shift our focus from machines and devices to humans,
Yes i said humans.
We all have people in our lives who were sent our way to teach us how to be patient. Even you... with your interesting personality know how tiring you can be.
Do you have friends who you are always careful around?
Do you have that person in your life who you cannot say NO to? not because he or she is awesome but because you don't want to be in his/her bad book.
Now all these shouldn't be. Yes I know you cannot always be on the same page with your friends but not to the point of being careful not hurt their SELFISH feelings.
High maintenance cost friends drain time and energy, plus you don't even get to enjoy the benefits of the relationship. Be it intimate or not. I mean if it's intimate and you have signed the marriage certificate then you are in for the longest ride of your life.
Chill, don't be in a hurry to point fingers and call up names to mind. I always tell you, start from YOU.
                                      **HIGH MAINTENANCE /  LOW MAINTENANCE**
Do not be that friend who everyone is careful around.
Do not be that spouse who is always receiving sugar coated lies because your partner isn't sure if the devil has left you.
YES !!! I know the just don't get you atimes...scratch dat... A LOT, but you must not react.
NOTE : High maintenance cost folks never truly have friends. If you think you do, think again.
Now I am not advocating that you now become cheap and loose your core values...but be REAL and have a heart.
As always, leave your thoughts in the comment section...questions too, if you have any. I'll surely reply

GOOD INTENTIONS - A HARMLESS VISIT

Image
Monday morning came with its usual nagging and longing for more bedtime, but Frank was already used to it. The shrill cry of the weird Chinese melody that was supposed to be his alarm tune never failed him. Now fully awake, he stood up, stretched his limbs and chuckled soon as he noticed his breakfast boner, reaching for the air-conditioner remote on his nightstand, he turned the cooling unit off, then walked across the room to switch on the lights. After bathing, he got dressed for work and sat down on the bed. Opening one of the nightstand drawers he retrieved his daily devotional which he read before kneeling and praying for a little over ten minutes; fellowship with the Holyspirit was very important to him. After praying, he grabbed a particular notepad from the only table in the room and stuffed it into his backpack before exiting the house. Frank got to his workplace a little earlier than usual, so he seized the opportunity to follow up on th

INSIDE STORY

The alarm goes wild and Janelle’s phone falls from the bed as she stretches and wearily opens her eyes one after the other.  She suddenly realizes how cold her pink-themed room is and sighs as she spots her duvet nestled to one corner of the bed, far from her reach. “Thank God I live alone,” she says as she sits up nude and lazily walks to her live-sized mirror to admire her very unique physique; her legs are as straight as the Pillars of Hercules, joined to her pelvis on which her very African hips sit. The brown of her skin glows and only darkens where her areolas sit on her perfectly formed upright bosoms. This appears to be a regular routine every morning and the smile presently adorning her spotless face is proof positive that she enjoys looking at her reflection in the mirror. Her reverie is cut short because the reality of being queried should she get to work late, dawns on her, so she saunters into the bathroom. Opening the cabinet to her right, she finds

Dear Tola,

We fell in love and that was the problem, seeing as we sauntered towards an end that had no beginning. We laced our hearts with a love that was borne of pure lust and eschewed every promissory note of trust. Tee...I'll lie to you if I say I didn't have my doubts when we decided to try. You had your reservations yet the forlorn feeling that adorned your guts motivated you to trudge whilst pushing for a relationship that had no foundation nor a reasonable future we could see at the time. Last night when we waved goodbye and I watched the lights of your taxi trail off , I thought for a moment what my life would be like without you... ...I had no answer, and this really disturbed me. If we were characters in a movie, this would be the scene where a montage plays out, showing different scenes of our show of affection. We would be holding hands , dancing wild in the sun, throwing food at each other as we cook in my kitchen, there'll definitely be the pillow fight and it'
