SPREAD THE LOVE EVEN WHEN YOU FEEL DOWN - FINDING LOVE ON STEEMIT
So yesterday night I was thinking about so many things and feeling depressed and just unhappy. I wasn’t happy that I was almost clueless about my life even though I appear to many as knowing exactly what I am doing and what I want from life.
Age has always been on my side, education pretty fast and all but with the speed of moving above my age came the overwhelming responsibility. I always felt like I had to do so much, I always had to prove myself, leadership roles all around and I just wasn’t permitted to break or cry or basically to be human.
I was thinking about all these yesterday night when I decided to explore around steemit, which was when I stumbled on some amazing individuals and later on, some others through their posts inspired me to write what I am about to write.
The first post I stumbled on was @surpassinggoogle If You Can't Find A Stranger To Love; Love Me & Entertain Freedom When You Do! and I was filled with so much warmth all of a sudden, I felt hope and love all together. He pushed me to stop worrying about myself and to just love, to just be happy. I read some of his other posts and I was just happy to be on steemit to meet such selfless persons, I mean his warm personality, intention in helping and it was that moment I promised myself that I was going to post something about sharing love around even when I didn’t feel much of it.
The point is, in sharing love around somehow you will get some to yourself, it lifts you up and helps you forget the sadness and depression, even if its for just a little while. My father would say there is really nothing worth killing yourself over as you will still die and leave everything in this world. So just put a little smile on your face and share some love around.
Laugh harder! Tease someone! Make baby faces and just make yourself happy even when you have no reason to!
So I got to work today and just kept smiling and working, I am sure people must have been wondering why I was so excited but I was just determined not to let anything dampen my high spirits today and well…nothing did.
Another post that brought so much hope and joy to me on steemit and concerning steemit was @tojukaka Steemit: a Beacon of Hope . I basically saw myself in that post, I saw that I could be hopeful and optimistic about the future regardless of the mess I am in. I kind of just wanted to dance when I was done, maybe in another post and at another time I might get to talk about how steemit came to mean so much to me but for now I will just bask in the euphoria of the hope I have found.
I basically got to understand how one must be hopeful and persistent in the midst of hopeless situations. Particularly, I believe in God and that God is always watching over me, so that gives me a lot of assurance.
Please don’t forget the point of this whole post; share some love and joy around even when you do not really feel it, eventually it will come.

I hope you have gotten something from this post and if you have do not forget to upvote, comment and resteem….much much love…
Spot on!
Thank you!!!!
Don't forget sadness and depression. Use it. Will visit later. I haven't read this post, when i said that i may know you more than you know yourself and it is true. I became sure in this post. As for your last comment, nation is nothing to me, human is and i do have the gift you mentioned too. You have it too but its in you and really really deep inside but we all have different compositions; some genes stronger than others and this is not philosophy or psychology, i don't read those books. This is raw downtoearth, real deal info
and again i am wowed by you! use sadness? i guess you will still explain that.. i really appreciate you telling me this...maybe now i will look inward closely and see these things inside me...thank you so much Terry
My role is to open your eyes to what already exists. I have never tasted full happiness. I have been using sadness all along
I think I have a clue about what you are saying....but do you care to elaborate?
Participate in my last post. You will grasp a few things in relation to this. Read between the lines, look for underlying concepts and principles. Again, it is not about years etc, it is about how much you can see. The spanlessness of your mind. I pace things, we'll be ready for more serious talk in due time, else info might be misunderstood
Alright then....thank you once again!....off to check your post!
Love yourself. It is important to stay positive because beauty comes from the inside out.
it is indeed
Your posts, always soothing!
thanks so much..glad it means something
Yea, optimism is a key to living a happy life, always stay positive even in the worst situations
Exactly ooo
Wow....this is great! Am inspired...followed
Thank yooouuuuu.....same!!!
Giving generally is a very good attribute. Now sharing love alone give that peace of mind and comfort.
Will like to see your entry into my last post
I will be glad to join the Steem untalented contest. I'm really flattered you have me at heart.
Yes, i have you at heart. Please share as well. This contest does more help than appears
I will gladly share. Resteemed and will also be informing LAUTECH STEEMIT COMMUNITY.
Awesome. I trust
that's just so true
There an adage that says it is when you have not seen another man's farm that you will say your farm is the biggest.
A happy face can be a sad heart. But dont ever think you are the saddest of them all.
We all have things eating us deep and some of us cannot even raise our voice.
But we pray everyday for a better tomorrow.
Nobody has to be sad. Nobody has to go through pains. But that is just the way this life is.
Thank God for steemit where we can relate and console ourselves not considering the social status.
And thanks for the likes of @stellabelle and @surpassinggoogle that gives happiness to us for free despite their own predicaments.
you know my dad just told me that adage recently, really i get encouraged sometimes when i think that regardless of issues i might have, i still have a lot to be grateful for
You have a lot to be grateful for. You cannot begin to imagine what i go through everyday in other to earn a living
There is something called choice and you have it. I was going to respond to one of your comments that mentioned choice. I can imagine what you go through everyday, cos you i have done worse but there is choice. Naija is dead hard but alot of these issues, you can sit over, once you find yourself fully and you will just walk into any room and they will give you food, in any nation in the world and that money, will look for you. See steemit as an enabling environment, forget SBDs. Look at the big picture of this comment. I told tolarnee, i know Naija more than her and she doubt it but i so so so do
yes thank you Terry. You have said it. i have a choice and i have taken it. it is a rough part but will be smooth later in the future.
My choice
Going to sch had the intention of become somebody great in future. NOW A GRADUATE AND THERE IS NOTHING TO SHOW FOR IT.
instead of becoming a nuisance, i decided to take up a family farm which belongs to my mum. I clean wastes of pigs everyday. at first when i started i felt bad but seeing other people in worse conditions. i appreciated my position.
to me steemit is just a plus to whatever someone is doing. I have a dream and i wish to achieve it sooner or later.
Thanks for always taking your time.
you are a man of substance
A friend of mine will say
There is more to you that i wish to explore. Thank you once again
Talk in the chats soon. Participate in my recent contest too
i will bro
Application of the adage, in relation to our discussion. Your desires now, may not be your desires, when you finally know who you are.
Will like to see your entry into my last post. Thank you for awesomeness here
always Terry... Always
Keep steeming
And share the love in the air!
