Entertainment is actually a good thing. What is life without some enjoyment? This is one thing we can't sacrifice, especially when we need something to keep us relaxed after the day's work. We want to recharge and feel more in the present moment, than being clouded with daily hustles. So, every individual has one way to keep themselves entertained, whether it's by unwinding through watching movies or escaping into the world of books and simply feeling alive.

Sincerely, I wish I could be a book freak like some other people, as you would always see them with books, either while walking or just sitting in one corner to escape from distraction but to focus only on another world of books. These ones can read even in the air and still feel good. Then we have those who wouldn't get tired of reading over 300 pages in a day.

Seriously, I can't remember the last time I read a book this year, but I can count the number of times I have watched movies. Just last weekend, I had to spend the day watching movies, moving from one to another, and I never felt tired except for when I needed to eat and pause while strolling out to see what was going on.

I used to love reading story books when I was very young. Those times, I would get new storybooks from the garage whenever I was travelling so I could get busy and entertained while on the journey. But now, I only go for some specific books and choose movies even when travelling, so I won't feel bored.

Don't get me wrong, I still love reading books, but not as much as my love for movies. For my entertainment, I tend to think about movies first before the option of reading a book comes to mind. Maybe it's because I find it distracting enough to read on my screen, but when it comes to a movie, no matter the distraction, I wouldn't stop halfway, especially when such a movie is getting interesting. I tend to be more engaged and engrossed when watching than reading.

But there are times when I would be focused when reading, and that's because the book must be a very good one. I mostly read books on personal development and self-help rather than normal stories or romantic ones; I find these ones more boring than novels like The 5am Club, The 5 Love Languages, Psychology of Money, etc., because I want to learn and practice the ones I feel are good to make me develop.

I also learn lessons from movies, too. I love having my notebook and pen, mostly using my notepad to jot down things I come across while watching movies. So, whenever I need to destress and feel entertained, it's easier to fall on movies than on reading books.

Yesterday, I woke up, prayed, and got ready for work. I cooked my favorite food, rice, and then proceeded to warm up my stew. After eating, I dressed for work, leaving my stew on the stove. Unfortunately, I forgot to turn off the gas.

My workplace is 30 minutes away from my town. While going to work, my instincts told me I hadn't turned off the gas, but I waved it off, thinking I had. I started to think about my morning routine, but I couldn't recall turning off the gas.

Since I always take my keys with me, there was no one to call and check. Thankfully, no one called me to report anything burning at home. I assumed everything was fine.

After work, I stopped by the market to buy some fresh groceries. By the time I arrived home, it was already after 4 pm. As I opened the door, I was hit with the smell of burnt stew. I rushed to the kitchen to find my stew completely burnt, but to my surprise, the gas was turned off.

I was amazed and grateful, wondering if someone had entered my home and turned off the gas. I asked my neighbors if they had seen any flames or smelled anything unusual, but they said they only noticed a strange odor and thought it was coming from the next house.

All my neighbors was also surprised, because no one knows the smell was from my room.

It wasn't until later, when I turned on the gas to boil some meat, that I realized the gas might have turned off automatically due to exhaustion.

After realizing how close I had come to disaster, I couldn't shake off the feeling of gratitude and relief. I took a deep breath, sat down, and tried to process what had just happened.

As I was thinking about it , I remembered a story I had read online about a woman who had forgotten to turn off her gas stove. She had returned home to find that her house had narrowly escaped a gas explosion. The woman had smelled gas when she arrived home, but after turning off the stove, she had gone out to run some errands. When she returned, she had turned on the stove again, unaware that gas was still leaking. The stove had exploded, burning her hand severely.

As I reflected on the experience, I realized that it had taught me a valuable lesson about being more mindful and responsible. I had always taken my safety and the safety of those around me for granted, but this close call had made me realize that complacency can be dangerous.

I decided to take steps to ensure that something like this would never happen again. I made a mental note to always double-check the gas stove and other appliances before leaving the house.
<div align="justify">
<div class="text-justify">

The rest of the day was a blur, but I couldn't help but feel a sense of appreciation for the small mercies in life. I had come close to losing everything, but thanks to a combination of luck and divine intervention, I had been given a second chance.

This experience taught me a valuable lesson: always double-check everything, especially potentially hazardous things like gas and electricity. From now on, I'll be more mindful and cautious.

Thank you, Almighty God, for your protection and mercy.

Have you had any experience about gas stove?

The day I almost burn down my house!

<div align="justify">
<div class="text-justify">

Years ago, there was this sister that cheerfully greeted me, but I responded in an unpleasant way towards her due to the fact that I was having a bad day that day and not in a good mood. Still, to this day, if I greet her, she still reacts somehow, and I know it was because of what happened years ago. I regretted my actions, which I am now trying to make amends for by greeting her cheerfully now.

</center>
Though it's been years, her reactions show that she hasn't forgotten. It's just greetings, which I didn't respond well to, but to her, it may have hurt her. No one actually knows what you are facing or passing through until you speak up. We are humans and not God, who knows everyone's thoughts until you tell someone. No one can know what you are passing through, and being moody and squeezing your face up and down won't solve anything or reacting to someone in an unpleasant way because of your problem is not the solution.

As a matter of fact, everyone is facing one thing or the other; they are just putting on that smiling face. Behind every smile is an untold story, so you now looking like your problem is not the way out. Talk to God; He is a problem solver. And if you need to talk to someone, don't keep quiet, thinking people will ask you what's wrong because of your being moody is wrong. Why not speak up? If you need help, tell someone, then don't bring your problem to the office or school, and because of it, react to everyone in a wrong way; that's uncalled for.

I realized that I had  taking out my frustrations on someone who didn't deserve it. struggling with issues should not be an excuse for treating someone with unkindness
Pray to God, talk to someone, and wear that smiling face. Squeezing your face makes you ugly. So smile; everything will be fine. God is in your business. He will never leave you nor forsake you. Cheers

How your approach can affect your relationship

<div class="text-justify">

I used to love certain songs and prayers, but now I can't bring myself to sing them. They go like this: 'Lord, if it's hard for everyone in Nigeria, it won't be hard for me and my family.' Or, 'If people are having problems, I and my family won't have problems.' These prayers seem selfish to me. No one wants hardship, pain, or problems - life just happens to people without their consent. Why can't we pray instead that Nigeria won't be hard on anyone? Why can't we pray that no one will go through pain? The more I know God, the more I realize God is love. I don't want to see anyone in pain. I'd rather pray for those going through hardship than say, 'If it's hard for them, it won't be hard for me.' To me, that kind of prayer is as selfish as the current government. I refuse to say Amen to such prayers, even if they're said on my behalf.

</center>
God can ease every pain, he can deliver everyone from hardship, God can lift everyone up not only certain set of people. Learn to pray a prayer of love and not a selfish prayer
Praying for the well-being of all, rather than just oneself, is a remarkable way to embody love and kindness.
God can ease every pain, He can deliver everyone from hardship, God can lift everyone up, not only a certain set of people." May your heart continue to guide you in praying selfless prayers that uplift and bless others. Remember, love and compassion can transform the world, and it starts with our thoughts, words, and actions.

I dream of a world where we can come together in prayer, not just for individual blessings, but for the collective good. Where we can pray for the healing of our nations, the restoration of our planet, and the unity of our human family. Where we can pray not just for our own success, but for the success of all.

"May our prayers be a reflection of our shared humanity, rather than our individual interests. May we learn to pray with hearts full of love, minds full of wisdom, and spirits full of compassion. And may our prayers become a powerful force for transformation, bringing us closer to a world where all can live in peace, harmony, and prosperity.

Growing up, I lived in an average Nigerian home, but my mother provided everything we needed, making our life feel rich. She always had food and provisions stocked up, so we never had to borrow from our neighbors. She even kept snacks like biscuits and sweets at home. While we weren't wealthy, everything we needed was always available in my mother's room.

When I had to live with someone else for a while, I experienced a new way of life. Every time we needed something, we had to buy it in small quantities from the neighborhood shop. This was a shock to me, as I was used to having everything I needed at home. I realized that not everyone has the same capacity to provide for themselves.

This reminded me of a story about a rich son who had never experienced poverty. He thought it was just an English word until he saw a beggar and asked his driver why they were begging. The driver explained that they were poor, and the son was surprised. He asked why they were poor if they worked just like his parents. His parents had to explain things to him, and he was moved to help the poor from then on.

This experience taught me that there are things we may not understand because they don't happen in our environment. That's why research and learning about different people, places, tribes, and cultures is important. We should always appreciate our position and never look down on anyone. If we have the capacity to help, we should do so.

This has made me to always render help to others in a little way I have, and it has also helped me to appreciate my mother effort.

This also helped to to realize that our circumstances are different. And we should not look down on anybody in different circumstances.

There is one of my  co-worker. We serve together in the same school, she come from different state and I also from different state. We argue a lot because she believes her state is better than other places, thereby always talking down on the state where we both serve. But I believe no place is better than the other, as long as the place is peaceful to live. Even if you are in a village and you believe you will make it there, you will. If the only thing you believe is "japa"( traveling out) before making it in life, that is how it will be. Because what we think about a place sometimes will make the place favor or go against us.

This is the message I always want to explain to her, but before I can finish one word, another word will cover it, resulting in an argument. It's not only about the town or city, but all her opinions are always different from mine. At times she claims I am talking from spiritual aspect 😂 well for this world to be normal you have to go through it spiritual , either through God or others means but through God is the only legit way I know.

One day, I got home and sat down, and I started asking myself, "Why do this person and I always argue?" because I don't usually argue with people. Why is this person different?

And this was the answer that kept rushing to my mind. I decided to share it because it can help other people as well.


We all come from different places, environments, families, culture and backgrounds. The books and movies we watch are different. Even if we watch the same movies, our thoughts about them are always different. Our experiences and the information we hear are different. That's why our thinking is always different, and it's what we think that comes out of our mouths. And when two people with different thoughts come together to talk without an agreement, there will always be an argument, which can lead to a fight.

That is what causes fights sometimes between people. The only way to avoid this is silence or agreement. You either agree or keep silent. Know when to keep silent or agree before it leads to an argument. But in my case, it's silence because I never agreed to that belief: "Every place on earth is a good place as long as it's peaceful to live in.

And also because our culture is different, there will always be different in what we believe in.

I also relate it to relationships (husband and wife). Can two walk together except they agree?
A wife or husband that can not agree or keep  silent when argument occur will always fight 
It's not everything you reply to.
At times you ignore and remain silent for peace to reign.

Another solution to avoid aurgument that can lead to fight is

**Understanding**
 Understand the person perspective even if you don't agree with it. By this you understand that our experience , background, environment are different. 

Lastly , effective communication. Tell them the things you don't like , the things you don't want them to do to you.

By this we will learn to live peaceful among each other.

Good day, Hive! I am a newbie on Hive. I am a passionate writer and storyteller. I love to talk about my experiences and the lessons I've learned from them.

Let me start by introducing myself.

My name is Toluwani Hannah. I love my first name so much because it's as if my mother knew what I would be passionate about before giving me that name, as I am very passionate about God and everything that revolves around Him. I grew up knowing that the meaning of my name is "God's own." Indeed, I am God'own, and I feel blessed to have such a beautiful name.

I was born into a family of eight, and I am the seventh child. However, among my mother's children, I am the third. That is to say, my father had two wives, and sometimes I regret being born into a polygamous family. Well, we don't fight, but there has always been a feeling of resentment. As we children grew up, we learned to embrace love for each other because we couldn't continue fighting our mothers' battles. Above all, love is the greatest thing.

When I was still a secondary school student, I used to think that life was a bed of roses. I had everything planned out in my head, until life happened to me. I fell sick, and during that time, I felt down, useless, and meaningless. The pain was unbearable for me to withstand. I cried so much and prayed for God to heal me. And God came through for me. This experience made me realize that no one deserves to be in pain, no one deserves to go through suffering because pain is truly agonizing. So whenever I see anyone in pain, I love to encourage them and pray with them, helping them overcome their pains.

I am a certified business administrator. Ever since my teenage years, I have been passionate about owning my own business because I dislike spending all my precious time in exchange for money every day. I want to be my own boss and have time for myself. This mindset has given me the opportunity to sit and think on my own about how to improve my business.

Just last month, I finished my NYSC. NYSC stands for National Youth Service Corps. It was established by the Nigerian government to serve our fatherland for a year, oh! I have forgot to tell you I am from Nigeria, Oyo State to be precise. NYSC help in giving us work experience and fostering unity among Nigerians. NYSC has helped me connect with new people, like my dear friend who introduced me to Hive. She saw my writing on my status and recommended this platform where I can further explore my writing skills. Thanks to @princessbusayo for telling me about Hive.

Now that I have shared a little about myself, let me briefly talk about my hobbies.

**TEACHING**
I love teaching, especially teenagers. I enjoy talking about my struggles and how I eventually overcame them. During my NYSC, I was delighted to be assigned to a school as it gave me the opportunity to teach.

**BAKING**

Baking is another passion of mine. I absolutely love it. I enjoy everything about baking and I always have a smile on my face while doing it. It has been a passion of mine since I was young, and I eventually went to learn it. I am so happy that I did. Baking is the addition of different ingredients to like flour, butter, sugar , baking powder e.t.c to create a delicious snacks like cakes, chinchin, doughnut e.t.c. Baking can be stressful at times especially when you don't have the required equipment like mixer , you have to use your hand to mix. As stressful as it is, it has been one of my passion.

**WRITING AND READING**

Writing and reading are activities I adore. By reading, I gain inspiration to write. Reading exposes me to new things and expands my vocabulary.

**REASON WHY I JOIN HIVE**

The reason I joined Hive is to connect with like-minded individuals, people who love writing and expressing their thoughts. I want to read about other people's experiences and share my own.

What I can contribute to Hive is sharing my experiences, especially how I overcame my struggles. I believe it will give others hope and encourage them. I am committed to providing valuable content to this platform.

Lastly, I would like to express my appreciation to my friend @Princessbusayo for introducing me to this wonderful platform. I met her during my service year, and this is one of the advantages of NYSC—to connect with new people. I want to thank her for her patience in explaining everything about this blog to me. Thank you so much.
