What Betrayal Is

When you saw the title of this post, did scenarios of betrayal come to your mind? Well scenarios of betrayal came to my mind because I've been betrayed quite a number of times. Don't worry, I'll tell you about a few of them.

Once I was acting all calm and reserved. I didn't want to make it known that I was in dire need of food. In that moment did my stomach decide to growl. It made noise so loud that my hunger was made known to those that were present. I felt betrayed. How could it? How could my stomach betray me like that??

Another time, I was asked if I had gotten medication for catarrh. I replied: "no, I'm fine now". You guessed right. My body chose that moment to let out a sneeze. This is a few among the other times I've been betrayed.


The dictionary seems to have several definitions of betrayal. But I like to see betrayal as more of deceit and deliberate  disloyalty. Betrayal involves breaking of trust. You know, a person once said " betrayal is the most devastating loss a person can experience". And I must say, betrays hurts really bad.

When a person tells you a secret, you betray that person if you tell that secret to someone else. Regardless of the circumstance. Betrayal in perfect words is "a stab in the back".

When someone believes in you enough to trust you, it doesn't speak well to break that person's trust in you. It causes a lot of damage. The person might never trust again. You might ruin relationships by breaking a trust. This is a few among the many damages of betrayal.


Betrayal causes heartache too severe. So I urge you, please do not betray.

    Betrayal is an attitude one shouldn't have because as you said betrayal causes a lot of damage to oneself i.e the person betrayed. As a kid when I lost my mum I felt betrayed by God and my mother but as I was growing up i start to realize that God loves me than my thoughts. I thank God. 🧕🌹

    Life is so funny, we can't live independently, yet all those we depends on will betray us at one point or another. We will always be betrayed no matter how careful we may deal with people. Always following ya ma'am

    Nice write-up. I have gotten from this that betrayals are natural especially with the two examples up.
    Expect them to come but never let them come from you.

What Friendship Is

"It's just me, myself and I". This was my status on one of my social media accounts some years back. This saying also played a great role in my life. I was a lone wolf. I didn't have friends and I didn't want friends. I thought I was complete all by myself. I thought I didn't need the company of others. I didn't understand the importance and sweetness of friendship until I got a taste of it. Friendship I realised was the basis of any good relationship. We're course mates and we have a group work together? I realised that it was easier to work on group projects with friends. And that working on group projects became easier and more fun, when my course mates became my friends. Friendship I've realised goes beyond words. Friendship is love. Friendship is patience. Friendship is arguments, it is small fights and it is forgiveness. Friendship is company. Friendship is food when there's famine. Friendship is hope in moments of despair. Friendshi...

Growth Is Gradual

Think of increase -there you have it. That's growth.  Growth in simple terms refers to increase. Growth could either be increase in size, value, number, what have you. But when you refer to growth as a person, growth could be physical, spiritual, intellectual , psychological, financial, the list goes on. Growth has its stages. It doesn't happen in a day. Most times, a foetus stays nine months in its mother's womb. During this period, growth in the foetus is evident but not immediate. A proof, that growth is a gradual process. The problem is, many expect growth to happen immediately. They expect to become good at what they just started in a short span. I give credit to geniuses and fast learners, but think of it.. You crawled before you walked! And even when you started to walk..you didn't just stand, move one foot after the other and it all went smooth. It took time to perfect walking - an act that you probably don't think much of now before doing. So why ...
