Tissue didn't clean up the mess Finale | Damocheese Style

Latest update It's been a long time since my last time Signs of victory linger in the horizon So unfamiliar a sight, yet soothing. 2 months, 3 days 16 hours and counting, I've regained control of my flesh. Nudity in music videos, Nakedness in movie scenes No longer inform a lust in me. No need to retire early to bed; I can stay up and alone all night With no fear of a relapse, Or I thought I could. Night time! Evil lurks in night time. Something about the silent ambiance Weakens my resolve. Catching up on a few more episodes, Late night whatsapp conversations; From the first stroke of lust On the canvas of my heart I could sense what was coming There was an absolute lack - Lack of strength to resist. Pity filled my heart, as I was about to fall. Only for my phone to ring 'Let the devil know not today' As Taya Gaukrodger's voice echoed. Strength.

Latest update BRAND ARCHITECTURE- Creating a 'HOME' for your Brand(s) by SamuelDUYILEglobal. Brands need a home - a place to live and you need to define the Relationship that brand has with other brands in that home- called Brand Architecture. This is because you can have several brands within a Master brand as we will see shortly. There are 3 major models of brand architecture. 1. House of Brands In this model, each brand stands on its own and has no Relationship with each other - consumers know each of the brands but dont know the name of the company that owns them...like you don't know the 'house' but you know the different 'rooms'. 2. Branded House In this model, the company is the brand and all products and services within that company are associated with that SINGLE COMPANY BRAND but they themselves don't exist as a brand. E.g *CATERPILLAR®* (the brand)...All you know about them is that they make very big mechanical machines but yo...

Not A QUITTER by Raji | Writers challenge | Damochesse Style

Latest update GIVE UP My dilemma on whether to stay strong or give up Been so weak lately, want to end it all. My dark mind with twisted intentions Just had my bathe,dressed to kill,put some cologne on then i proceed to sit in a dim lit room on my reading desk. Taking in what could possibly be my last wine,with a cigar on left hand my ink on the other . My mind all dark and life seem blurry,the only thing in my mind is suicide (self murder). As i write my last note and about to down the pills. Something came through,a ray of light shone through the cracks. My mind reverted to my childhood aspirations of  been so great,of when i was a happy lad. My mind reverted to when i felt i could conquer this bitch called life. Reverted to when i made conscious and logical decisions. My face now with strange love that looks like a smile. I smiled wider as the light continued to shine brighter now bursting to laughter. A drop of tear simmer down my cheeks. I already pushed all my...

Not A QUITTER by Jemima Oduwaiye | Writers Challenge | Damocheese Style

Latest update As she laid out on the cold hard floor, deeply frustrated about the decisions she was about to make, “How can this be, everything’s all juggled up, time has been stolen” she said.  Doubt and uncertainty crowding her thoughts,she started to weep, “I never should have believed I...” she started to think. Suddenly, a voice said, “You’re not a quitter!” Looking around her with anxiety written all over her face, she began to search for who was with her in that cold lonely room. Everyone had left her behind,seeing that she had no ambition in life , “how could she possibly hear a voice other than hers” she thought. Fear raced through her heart and just then she figured she must have been hallucinating. With the broken bottles of vodka all around her,she definitely couldn’t have been thinking in the right order. She crawled back to her position of uncertainty and frustration, lamenting all her worries before she took the final step to the end of time. Just then she he...

Latest update A poem by Janet adegoke Title- When the plague came When the plague came they were ill prepared So it ravaged them and the damage could not be compared When the plague came they couldn't cross the border "Run home" they said! "Go and stay with your mother!" When the plague came the leaders couldn't flee They were stuck with the system they disrupted and the citizens entered a state of jubilee When the plague came the world powers bowed People who formerly wanted to start a war began to cower and cry aloud When the plague came the religious zealots where no where to be found "Pay your tithes and offerings! Or else this disaster will abound!" When the plague came they panicked for a cure "Help us" they cried!!! "This pain we cannot endure!" When the plague came sanity began to be restored Industries were closed, traffic, excess parties and other forms of  madness were abhorred When the pla...

Not A QUITTER by Sholafunmi| Writers Challenge| Damocheese Style

Latest update Not a quitter Nemo dat quod non habet is a Latin maxim for you cannot give what you don't have. If I am going to tell you a story about not quitting, I have to have not been a quitter... I believe. And if I haven't been able to do that, then I am more or less a hypocrite, right!!! In my first year in the University, I was deceived into being something I wasn't. When the 'end' came, I wasn't sure as to why I was living. I was broken into pieces and the fragments of my life didn't seem to make any sense. When you lose the sense of who you are and what you want, you are pushed into a corner to just quit. I am not a quitter because with the help of my heavenly father, I was able to push through. I am where I am by the grace of God, the way the Apostle Paul said it and I am not a quitter because I am not where I am but I am heading off to a beautiful destination. I am not a quitter because I have made some really bad and stupid decisions. I...

Not A QUITTER| Writer's Challenge| Akorede B.A

Latest update Just as always, I was about to quit writing; or at least this piece. I had been rejected so many times, I had the door slammed in my face; so often that it felt weird whenever a door was open. I was not always like this, life had made me into one with no wits, it was only sad that I had no wins as well. I was a writer, I was a winner; it hurts that everyone else sees me as a weakling; a feeble boar who could not roar but was identified by only loud squeaks even among an entire swine. Hold up, When did I get so low that I was described as a weak pig? Yes, I have heard NO so many times, but so far as blood still flows in these veins, I would give it another go. The doors may be closed, or my nose made flat from the slams; that is still not enough reason to stand down, besides even junkyards have doors. Multi-vitamins were going to help me go one more time, they were better than motivational speakers who spoke as though they never had challenges. My multi-...

Not A QUITTER by Francisco Uzoenu.

Latest update Not a Quitter. It took a walk through the land of ironies, to know that darkness, is an angel that coughs out light. Mama once told me, ''cast your gaze to the air, for there lies the stories you wish to grasp". Pain is the rooster, that crows at the backyard of daylight; and sorrow, the maiden that tells me bedtime stories. Life gave me its tatters to wear, sending me into the streets; without a father to paddle me through the storms. I cried. I cry. And still cry. But giving up is not an option, and will never be. For I skate on the roller blades of optimism. I am not a quitter, and can never be. For everything good, will eventually come.

Latest update Not A Quitter Life has so many meanings and we all view life differently, I see and view life to be me, the things I want and dream to achieve, my purpose, my happiness, my family, how I relate with people, my existence, and because I’m a follower of Christ, I see life also as my relationship with Christ and of all the meanings of life my favorites are these “the course of existence of an individual, the actions and events that occur in living”. “ the period during which something is functional” These two definitions say a lot about life. During the functional period called life, you’ll experience and pass through so many things, things that’ll make you question your existence, things that’ll make you question your creator. Life will toss you up and down, make you sad and happy, and finally at some point, you’d feel like relinquishing all, I used relinquish because your life is your possession, it’s what makes you, you and at some point, because of some issues tha...

SEO- How to get your website or blog ranked at the top of Search engines like Google!!

Latest update Search Engine Optimization(SEO) is the art and science of getting your website or blog ranked at the top of the search engines. SEO now look at a few factors for priority placements on search results...See them below: 1. Time on site- the more time a person spends on your site, the more interesting it must be and the more the chances of better ranking. 2. Bounce rate- You have a 'bounce' on your site if people come to a single page and then leave again- basically, they hit it once and are gone.

Tissue didn't clean up the mess Part THREE

Latest update The memory is quite vivid; How I got entangled in these webs of lust This despicable act has a genesis Its revelation feels like a dream world away. Twelve years and counting, I've hoped to stop Finally! No more! Then an uglier head comes up No one has ever found out But I've let few people in, regrettably. They try so hard to hide their disappoinment I could see right through them. The unseen gasps and screams of surprise: No one would have thought... they thought Normal for all lads your age...they said. Spiritual, moral, so-so...they wondered How could he, the preacher...they whispered. Since everyone sympathises with a survivor, I lay emphasis on it being a practice of the past, Stating my brief atheism stint as a backstory. I wish someone could hold my hands And whisper comfort to my ears My silence is a scream for help - Help I need but can't ask for. No doubt a mess and an object of disgust Sigh! Frustrations, I need to chill o...

Tissue didn't clean the mess part TWO

Latest update Reeled in by the guilt of yesterday, Consumed by a sea of disgrace. Yet with a smile and a high shoulder, I have an Oscar-worthy performance. Certainly, no one could suspect a thing. The answers I gave in Sunday school So profound... I got an ovation as heads nodded in agreement But do they know what I did? As I lifted my hands in worship, Crying and shouting at the top of my voice Shame kept ministering to my heart As we danced and clapped during praises, People showed abundance of joy Being the last Sunday service in the month I, in my traditional side-steps, 1, 2 Wallowed in embarrassment; It was too much to bear, so I did what was best I talked to God , asking why? I needed information, as to if I was the only one? Did I inherit these from my parents? Dad did it too? "No answers I see... But know this God I'll never let you down again, I promise." Said me, the umpteenth time

Three Simple Steps To Gain Self-control

Latest update Self-control is the quality that allows you to stop yourself from doing things you want to do but that might not be in your best interest.  Build your self-discipline. We aren’t born with self-discipline -- it’s a learned behavior. And just like any other skill  you want to master, it requires daily practice and repetition. Just like going to the gym, willpower and self-discipline take a lot of work. The effort and focus that self-discipline requires can be draining. As time passes, it can become more and more difficult to keep your willpower in check. The bigger the temptation or decision, the more challenging it can feel to tackle other tasks that also require self-control. So work on building your self-discipline through daily diligence. Avoid Temptation Avoiding temptation requires anticipating situations where unwanted desires might emerge and taking proactive steps to ensure that one doesn’t succumb to the problematic desire. For example, av...

How to improve your memory

Latest update Focus Your Attention  Train your brain Meditate Aerobic exercise  Sleep well  Eat memory boosting diets Get organized  Use mnemonic tricks -- acronyms, rhymes, and so on. When tightening or loosening lids, remember "righty-tighty, lefty-loosey." To recall the Great Lakes, remember "HOMES" (Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, Superior.) Understand your own style of learning. Most people are visual learners, remembering best what they see. They benefit the most from memory notebooks and signs. Others are auditory learners, remembering best what they hear. They benefit from talking out loud or using a tape recorder.

Relationship between Fear and Anger

Latest update Some of the most common themes which connect fear and anger are control, purpose, conflict, and regret. At their core, both fear and anger are rooted in feelings of control. In most cases, individuals who experience fear may feel as though they have lost control of a particular situation, circumstance, or individuals. More often than not, this loss of control can have devastating aftermath or, at the very least, create unease and uncertainty, neither of which is helpful for anyone. Inversely, anger is, in many cases, a means of regaining control. While a fearful individual may hesitate to fight back against the cause of their unease, an angry person may use their displeasure and antagonism to neutralize the source of their fear. Next comes purpose. For better or worse, both fear and anger have unique purposes. While fear often occurs for the sake of avoiding situations which could bring about one's demise, anger often serves as the motivating force to retaliate a...

Emotional Dominance is abuse

Image
Latest update Emotional dominance is a type of emotional abuse. According to psychotherapist Christine Scott-Hudson "Emotional dominance occurs when one person overwhelms the other's emotional boundaries and begins to control what the other is allowed to show, think, feel, and/or how to outwardly behave," How do you know you're a victim of emotional dominance ? 1. When you can't voice out your opinion on a subject or matter because you're afraid your partner or friend doesn't like it. Yes emotional dominance occurs amongst friends too. They're are friendships in which  value isn't balanced between the individuals involved. When one person values the friendship a lot more than the other and the other has emotional dominant tendencies it tends to spring up and bring the more caring friend into emotional submission. 2. When you're always getting disapprovals through body language for example sighs, glares, Shrugs etc. Your actions and...
