I think at one point in everyone’s life, we become obsessed with or addicted to something. “Oh that’s not true. I’m not obsessed with anything; I just read a lot of books and eat well and …" Okay, so you are obsessed with knowledge. Cool!
"Okay, but all I do is go to work every day, come home, and take care of my family. I only just want to have a good life where I can afford any…." Ohhh you are obsessed with good life? Cool. Guys, I feel like a debater right now although I’m not. Abenad, stop beating about the bush! Stay on course! Thank you for the reminder, Mrs. Tiny Voice in my head.
Anyway, back to what I was saying, we all get obsessed with something and I think for the past week, I’ve been blown away by the amount of information on YouTube. I was finding it hard to understand something so a colleague recommended YouTube and I must say I fell in love right after watching a couple of videos.
I’ve been watching a lot of videos, and now, I get the concept of what I was finding hard to understand. I then saw this video of how hard it is to escape country ABC. First thought: why would someone want to even escape Country ABC? What is happening there?
And then I watch the documentaries, the interviews, and the stories, and oh boy! I’m shocked. So for some days, I have been obsessed with the country. No, not that I wanted to go there. Of course not. Why would I want to visit a place people are trying to escape?
So I kept watching these documentaries, and then I couldn’t help but be grateful for freedom and free will. Some days ago, I was always nagging about something that’s been going on in my country, and tell you what. The videos I watched just shut me up.
We all know what free will is, and we talk about it a lot and even underrate it but it was my first time knowing that some countries don’t even have free will at all, not to mention freedom. Their whole life, every activity is dictated by another person. And I can just imagine being born in such a country and either having to live a certain way to fit certain criteria or regretting it for the rest of your life and also endangering three generations.
I was beginning to get worried about this new obsession of mine, but then I realized it wasn’t just an obsession; it was one of those phases where I was being ushered into gratefulness. And I won’t even lie, I’ve been feeling so grateful for the fact that I have freedom where I live and I am also able to exercise my free will anytime I want.

That’s why they say the less you know the better.
I literally follow everything going on in the world to the point where some happenings were starting to affect me. My friends advised me to take a break from all digging because I was literally their news channel cos I always had new info.
I stopped for a while but guess who’s back now.😂
Ohh welcome back to the club. Although I’ve left o. I cannot can.😂
