Dear Boy Child

Dear future boy child, I dream about having you every single day, I dream about holding you, I dream about sitting down with you and teaching you a few things about being a gentleman and all but I'm not sure if you will be like those guys that kill and hurt females, I'm not sure if you will be like those guys that sit in silence and don't do anything to end such bad behavior. I'm writing this to tell you that one day I'm going to be your mom, I'm going to be that woman that will be proud of every milestone you reach but again I could be that woman that sits and wonders what are you doing out there what kind of person are you when I'm not watching. I'm hoping and praying that you won't turn out to be like those guys that when they walk they make females fear for their lives. I'm praying that your future girlfriend (who will later be your wife) won't be scared of you, I pray she won't settle down for abuse coming from you simply because she's scared of leaving you because people will judge her. I pray her independence won't intimate you to a point where you raise your hand to her. I pray you remember that a woman is your equal she's not someone whose beneath you, someone who you are superior to.

I'm praying for you future son but most of all I'm praying for your father more, I'm praying that my future husband whose going to be your father won't doesn't raise his hand to me, I'm praying that my independence doesn't intimidate him, I'm praying that his actions and behavior towards me doesn't make me grow fear towards him. I also pray that he teaches you to be a good gentleman because his actions are the ones that will have a greater impact on your behavior.

I've grown fear towards males, I've grown fear towards any man that walks behind me, I've grown fear towards any man that raises his voice when his talking to me, it scares me and I always wonder to myself what if he hurts me? What if I can't stop him? This fear is growing every single day and I'm praying for my future husband and my future son to lower down the fear towards me and other females that they will come in contact with.

Remember GBV is a pandemic and it starts with you small actions have a huge impact.

Why do I crave a relationship so badly? This is a question that many people ask themselves, especially if they have been single for a long time or have experienced repeated rejections or breakups. It is natural to want to share your life with someone who loves you, supports you, and makes you happy. But sometimes, this desire can become so intense that it causes you to feel anxious, depressed, or desperate.

How can I grow my connection with God?

Image
One of the most important aspects of growing closer to God is learning how to communicate with Him. But sometimes it can be hard to tell the difference between your own thoughts, God's voice and the enemy's voice. I used to think that God's voice was always loud and stern, telling me to stop sinning and do better. But as I spent more time with Him, I realized that His voice is actually gentle and comforting, His voice fills me with peace, joy and confidence, while the enemy's voice tries to distract me, make me doubt and confuse me. And my own voice is often stuck in the middle, wondering "Is this really God? God, if this is you, give me another sign". The Bible says in Psalm 145:18, "The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth." And in Matthew 6:33, it says "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." Here are some tips to help you strengthen your relat

How do I stop being so available?

Being too available in relationships can be a sign of low self-esteem, fear of abandonment, or lack of boundaries. It can also lead to resentment, boredom, or loss of attraction from your partner. If you want to stop being so available and create more balance and harmony in your relationship, here are some tips to help you: - Recognize your own worth and value. You are not defined by your relationship or your partner's approval. You have your own interests, passions, and goals that make you a unique and interesting person. Remind yourself of your strengths and achievements, and celebrate them. - Set healthy boundaries and respect them. Boundaries are the limits you set for yourself and others on what is acceptable and unacceptable behaviour. They help you protect your physical, emotional, and mental well-being. Communicate your boundaries clearly and assertively to your partner, and don't let them cross them. Likewise, respect your partner's boundaries and don't try t
