The ungrateful woman

  I met Sandra in 2005 during a church conference at St Paul's Cathedral. She was one of the participants from Fort portal. A church friend introduced me to her and that's how we became friends and later we got married in 2006 after a lovely kwanjula. We had a simple wedding . About 3-months after we got married, I asked Sandie to come up with a business proposal. I wanted to empower her. I was against the idea of her just staying at home without doing anything. She told me she wanted to do business of buying women clothes from Turkey for resell here. I was then working as an accountant at a private firm in Ebbs . I got a loan and I gave her the capital and that's how she started travelling to Turkey . Within a short period of time,her business grew, she would travel twice a month. She then stopped dealing in women clothes and started supplying Electronic appliances within entire Luwum street and kiyembe dealers. She started making a lot of money.My salary became peanuts to...

International Day of the Girl

  Everything and everyone has done everything possible to promote the girl child education, leaving the boy child behind and stepping on him alot, thinking that that's woman emancipation yes am not saying don't but balance. The same woman/girl who says she can leave without a man, is busy with sex toys, scared in the house crying for protection, saying men don't love and care, are trash etc, dating fellow women, asking for a sperm donor, going against God's will of creation of man and woman. And also expecting man to be the perfect creation and control the earth but the question is how?? All I am saying even the boy child has got to be promoted and taken important as well . #kwats #oscar

International Day of the Girl Child

  International Day of the Girl 2022 "Our time is now—our rights, our future" In 2022, we commemorate the 10th anniversary of the International Day of the Girl (IDG). In these last 10 years, there has been increased attention on issues that matter to girls amongst governments, policymakers and the general public, and more opportunities for girls to have their voices heard on the global stage. Yet, investments in girls’ rights remain limited and girls continue to confront a myriad of challenges to fulfilling their potential; made worse by concurrent crises of climate change, COVID-19 and humanitarian conflict. Girls around the world continue to face unprecedented challenges to their education, their physical and mental wellness, and the protections needed for a life without violence. Girls with disabilities face additional barriers to accessing support and services. COVID-19 has worsened existing burdens on girls around the world and worn away important gains made over the las...

Emotional sensitivity

  When you’re emotionally sensitive, you experience emotions more intensely than others. Your feelings of love, joy, happiness, anger, sorrow, and fear are stronger than average . If you aren’t able to manage your emotions, you struggle every day to cope. You sometimes don’t trust yourself because you can’t predict how you’ll react in different situations. Too often, your emotions get the best of you, and you act on them in ways that aren’t helpful in making your life better—sometimes adding more anguish and trouble to your life. Emotionally sensitive people have a deeply sensitive perspective of the world, such as being connected to animals and nature more than most. They are generally attuned to the emotions of others and can exhibit both excessive tolerance and intolerance. Most have rejection sensitivity and can easily perceive rejection in everyday situations, such as an email or text that isn't returned. They’re intuitive thinkers and often can’t verbalize how they know what ...

Heartbroken 💔

Sometimes it's hard to tell someone's intentions towards you. Someone can come into your life, they start talking to you day and night. They make you believe and get used to them. They make you believe that they are different from those you ever had, or you will ever have. You look into their eyes and see a true reflection of yourself. Slowly, you get emotionally attached to them. You start finding ways of making things happen. You totally get taken up by that person's care and love. You start to lean on them and you find your life can't do without that person. You believe in everything they tell you. You get down on your knees and thank God for sending you such a hero. You now ignore other people that are into you. You comfort that person, you be there for them. You trust them but then, one day,... they wake up and start hurting you without thinking twice. They torture your feelings, they break your heart into pieces without thinking of what you have gone through with ...

Anxiety attacks

  Anxiety attacks, also known as panic attacks, are episodes of intense panic or fear. They usually occur suddenly and without warning. Sometimes there’s an obvious trigger—getting stuck in an elevator, for example, or thinking about the big speech you have to give—but in other cases, the attacks come out of the blue. Anxiety attacks usually peak within 10 minutes, and they rarely last more than 30 minutes. But during that short time, you may experience terror so severe that you feel as if you’re about to die or totally lose control. The physical symptoms are themselves so frightening that many people think they’re having a heart attack. After an anxiety attack is over, you may worry about having another one, particularly in a public place where help isn’t available or you can’t easily escape. Anxiety attack symptoms include: Surge of overwhelming panic. Feeling of losing control or going crazy. Heart palpitations or chest pain. Feeling like you’re going to pass out. Trouble breath...

Love

 If You Love Someone For Their Looks: It's Obsession If You Love Someone For Their Kindness: It's Admiration If You Love Someone For Their Money: It's Interest If You Love Someone Because They Love You: It's Empathy   If You Are Confused Why You Love This Person: It's Definitely Love .

Facts you have to embrace

 1. As you get older, you choose the people that you accept in your life. You do not want to waste your energy trying to connect with someone, and it will not prosper into a relationship that is worth keeping.  2. You can't stop people from saying things about you. It is not your responsibility to change their minds. You only have to keep on doing what you do best. For as long as you are not hurting anyone, then there is no need to explain yourself.  3. You don't need so many friends in your life. You only need a few but are genuine with you. You cut off people in your life who do not respect you.  4.You are a work in progress,  so there is no need for you to be hard on yourself. You have to continue learning and embrace that you will never please everyone.  5. Kindness goes a long way. If you have nothing good to say, it is better to keep your opinions to yourself. Allow people to grow and learn from their past mistakes.  6. Those people who know you ...

Depression in youths

 She narrates,  "If I had died at 22,it would have taken weeks before anyone would have noticed, because at 22,I was studying; I liven in my own and I would pull myself away from everyone, without anyone really noticing." ( rubs a tear)  "Two years ago, I decided to put an end to loneliness. We can tackle loneliness by simply opening up a conversation, making sure that everyone is aware. I didn't understand how lonely I was, (laughs) and of course ironically the last thing you want, is to have people around you. You don't want to let anyone in. And I'm so far from being the only one who has felt like this." She continues. "Depression is a massive issue. Because we as humans are fundamentally built to be part of a group. We're fundamentally built to depend on others and to have others depending on us. There's nothing cool or brave or great about going through life alone. Do please call the friend that I know that you all have, and just be ...

Self esteem

 The rate at which youths (21_30) are committing suicide is alarming, the cause which is psychological; low self esteem perceived as lack of affection. Self esteem is your overall sense of personal value and self worth; the way someone thinks other people around think of them Typically, a person with low self-esteem: Is extremely critical of themselves, downplays or ignores their positive qualities, judges themselves to be inferior to their peers, uses negative words to describe themselves such as stupid, fat, ugly or unlovable. It's at this moment that they feel an emotional breakdown, followed by social withdrawal. Hey, just know you're loved. Finishing one's life doesn't stop the pain. Instead it transfers it to everyone who loves you. You have family, you have loyal friends who wish you well. You even have those who admire you, just like you have those that you too admire. Appreciate the way you are, because there's someone out there whose prayer is to be like y...

Ladies

  Single Ladies.. The difference between a husband and boyfriend is vividly clear.  If someone asks you out once go out return back to your home.  Be jealous of yourself.  Give that boy reason good enough to pursue you.  Give him an opportunity to need you.. Create room for him to desire you in his house as a future wife not a resident girlfriend to beat cob-webs on weekends and  act as a catering company.  Rate yourself so highly.. Put your price tag so up high. praisekwats256@gmail.com Kwats

Find someone to talk to

 "I saw my father hurt my mum. It made me suffer. I wasn't a joyful little girl anymore." After experiencing domestic violence, 19-year-old Srey Neang from Cambodia started having mental health issues. She was sad all the time, couldn't focus and her grades started dropping.  As she struggled to cope, she shut out her friends and family.  "When I was feeling sad, I stayed alone, but it didn't help. It made me more depressed and feeling so lonely."  One day, Srey Neang took up circus training. She loved it and decided to keep going. Soon, she felt happy again.  "I didn't feel lonely anymore. I had teachers to guide me and many friends to talk to. It made me feel better and better." Today, Srey Neang is on a mission to help other young people who are suffering, especially during COVID-19. "Find someone you trust to talk to. It will help you feel better."  #OnMyMind #UNICEF

Relationships

 When you have just started dating someone, DON'T quickly trust them so much, don’t quickly give them all your heart, don't easily open your legs for them, don't quickly make permanent decisions like future plans with them, don't quickly talk about them or show them in your friends and family, don't quickly go to where they stay, don't quickly give them big promise you might not fulfill, don’t low down your standards, don’t relate them to your past and innocently punish them for it, don’t quickly lead them on, don’t misrepresent yourself, don’t forget your lessons learnt from your previous relationships.  When you find someone and you develop true feelings for them, please love them and give that relationship your best so that you don't live with regrets in case they ever walk out of your life. Enjoy and cherish every moment you get with them because you have no guarantee about tomorrow. And if they ever bang the door to leave your life, don’t block their ex...

This generation

 Alot of relationships don’t work these days, because we are dating people who are still in love with there Exes. people who have besties of the opposite sex, people who still text their Exes at 2am with “i just wanted to check on you” type of message. we are suffering insecurities we didn’t create. We are dating people who are trying to move on. people who are trying to show their Exes that they can live without them. We are dealing with breakups we didn’t create. A confused generation with so many HD photos. Photos with expensive beers and looks but living a miserable private live. A generation where big daddies are breaking young relationships with expensive things. A generation where young energetic men from broken relationships are damaging marriages. A generation where its hard to love someone being raised from a broken family. We are a happy generation on social media but deep down our hearts we are bleeding and hurting . A generation where we are now hurting other people in...

Love

 It takes a lot to be a friend and a special one at that.  It hurts to love someone who doesn't love you in return. But what hurts most is when you love someone but you don't get the courage to tell them how you feel towards them. You truly look in the eyes of your beloved one and you see a true depiction of yourself. Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people such that when we meet the right ones, we learn to be grateful for that gift. When one door of happiness closes, another one opens; but we often take too long looking at the closed door and we fail to notice the one that has been opened before us.  It takes a minute to crush on someone, it takes a moment to like someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.   You'll never know the importance of something unless it's taken away from you. Love is when you sit with someone, you don't say anything and walk away like it has been the best conversation of your life. love has no formula. True love never a...

Be good

 Only if a few pipo knew the role they play in our lives. We live happily, we smile because of them, though we won't tell. We can't stop thanking God for bringing such in our lives, but to wish He had brought them earlier. But God's timing is always right.  It costs you nothing to be good. Do for others what you want them to do for you. (Matthew 7:12)

Find someone

Find someone who isn't afraid to admit that they miss you. Someone who knows that you're not perfect but treats you as if you are. Someone who's biggest fear is losing you. Someone who gives their heart completely. Someone who says I love you and means it. Last but not least, find someone who wouldn't mind waking up with you in the morning seeing you in m wrinkles and your gray hair. but still falls for you all over again. ❤️

Crush

 Crushes are more beautiful than affairs  because there is no responsibility, no worry, no commitment. Just look at your crush and smile like an idiot.

Love

 It's ok to love and not be loved in return. True love requires the right person and the right time. Your right time has not yet come. Never hesitate giving out love to the universe. One day, it will come back to you, even with interest.

Happiness

 You were born when you were crying while everyone around you was smiling. Live your life such that when you die, you'll me smiling while everyone around you is crying. 

Irony of life

 News comes it becomes difficult to decide whether, we laugh, or cry jubilate or wail,  smile or mourn  we end up becoming entangled in a world of contrasting realities. #kwats
