FREE WILL
by CHINYERE MMA OKOH | February 4, 2012 at 10:33 PM
I HAVE A RIGHT TO DECIDE WHAT I WANT IN MY LIFE AS LONG AS IT'S A GREAT DECISION ...MY FREE WILL.
SAD THAT EVEN TODAY MY PARENTS THINK THEY ARE IN CHARGE OF THAT ASPECT. I HAVE OFTEN BEEN TOO RESTRICTED EVEN AS A CHILD ALWAYS DOING THINKS TO MAKE THEM BETTER AND MORE SECURE BUT I AM WILLING TO HEAD IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION BECAUSE MY FEEL IS NOW BEGINNING IN A GREAT WAY.
I SOMETIMES FEEL LIKE A CAGED ANIMAL WITH LITTLE OR NO EXPOSURE TO THE SUNLIGHT BECAUSE THEY PRACTICALLY MONITOR EVERYTHING I DO.
THEY SAY THEY DO THINGS FOR MY OWN GOOD BUT SOMETIMES I FEEL IT'S FOR THEIR OWN SELFISH INTEREST IN ORDER TO MAKE THE SOCIETY SEE THEM AS HIGH ACHIEVERS.
I KNOW THEY LOVE ME.....DON'T GET ME WRONG, THEY ARE GREAT PARENTS BUT IF YOU SQUEEZE SOMETHING TOO TIGHT, YOU MIGHT END UP CRUSHING IT.
PARENTS... PROVIDE AND SUPPORT THEM BY TEACHING THEM VALUES AND PRAY FOR THEM. BE THERE TO LEND A HAND. BELIEVE IN THEM AND BRING OUT THE BEST IN THEM, SO THAT THEY WILL VOICE OUT FOR THEMSELVES AND ALSO BE A SOURCE OF STRENGTH FOR OTHERS.
LETS JOIN HANDS TO REDUCE ANY FORM OF CHILD ABUSE BY GIVING THEM THE CONFIDENCE TO VOICE OUT EVEN WHEN THE SOCIETY STIGMATIZES THEM....

Thank you so much for stopping by to greet us at our New Office.
And thank you again for promising to support us thru connecting us to Nafdac.
A friend of mine, An actress needs your support too. I will check on you this week.
Its really nice that we are connected on Worldpulse and we still deem it fit to check on each other in real world.
As regards your write up, our socio cualtural, religious and economic condition are amongst other things causing these problems. Don't be sad. It is a phase, soon it shall pass.
Do have a lovely week ahead good sister.
