Life without troubles is not interesting. 

What’s your favorite cartoon?

Just like Tom and Jerry

Even to this day I still could not figure out if my childhood cartoon is suitable for kids or adults, but one thing for sure is

despite my elderly age, I continue to enjoy watching Tom and Jerry.The truth is that I never really understood the morals underlying the fantastic graphics and tale, but I was attracted by their antics, gaffes, battles, and sense of humour, which made me laugh so hard I couldn’t stop. To my surprise, Jerry continually outwits Tom, despite appearing much sharper and harder.

We can’t do without our troubles

With both caught in a never-ending cat-and-mouse game, just like friends who couldn’t live with each other but also couldn’t tolerate one another, not minding the destruction that comes with vengeance for every wrongdoing, only to love and miss each other when apart.

Disguised blessings

What positive events have taken place in your life over the past year?

Learn to count your blessings.

I was so caught up in the process of negotiating life’s immediate necessities that listing my gratitude in the previous year seemed unimportant until the Daily Prompt question. What beneficial event has occurred in my life over the last year? Even as I write, I want to express in brief things that have become not only pleasant but also valuable in my life over time, which was initially stressful.

Not all storms are intended to damage your life; some are there to clear your path. Being a real and present father and spouse has been the most difficult and valuable assignment in my life during the last year. Having administered parenting obligations from a distance, I was unaware of the immediate responsibilities and pressures that come with experience, as well as the advantages; at first, it appears unattainable, but joy comes from patience and experience. 

Disguised blessings

Also seeing my writing habit has come alive all this time. As someone who appreciates writing, I’ve seen my interests and works emerge from the daily prompts and questions. I never believed I’d be able to keep up my writing habit, even as I compose these words in response to their question. Writing has become a part of my life, and I enjoy it more when it is watched, read, and appreciated by people worldwide. Grateful for family, friends, and, more especially, life and good health that other blessings revolve around. The past year has taught me to count my blessings even in the face of adversity since they bring about growth and happiness.

Mirror in You

Share five things you’re good at.

You know me better

Being good at something means being skilled or talented at it. In reality, it is not one position to claim to have the necessary abilities, expertise, and understanding to complete a work successfully. The power of such justification must be demonstrated in public, whether publicly or discreetly. In other words, I cannot lord over a talent or gift that has not been demonstrated or, better yet, noted by friends and adversaries alike.

Then comes the question: five things I’m good at!! Most of the time, we don’t realise how skilled, talented, or knowledgeable we are until we face a difficulty. You are a good writer, a comment that is frequently attributed to me, but I doubt it, even if I enjoy discussing interesting narratives. Time without numbers has both reprimanded and appreciated me for the silence that I like. What I like about you is your ability to listen and give good counsel; some of my friends’ thoughts Counting on him to tell the truth and be authentic at all times.

Life mirrow

I may not have realised I have these abilities until I was often addressed by people, which drew my attention to their harness. The fact is that my perspective may differ from that of the general population, which may not necessarilly undermine their assumption that no one is an island. Our style of life and the things we excel in cannot be hidden from those around us, no matter how indulgent.

It’s tough to express these attributes to oneself without seeming excessive. Why do I say **life mirror**? It is not the thing that reflects your appearance in the bedroom. Rather, it refers to your thoughts, beliefs, and behaviours in daily life.

That which you like to hear

What is one thing you would change about yourself?

I wish i could

They say that no one is more disliked than someone who tells the truth. People appreciate hearing what they want to hear when it favours their nterest. Yes, I am neither innocent nor a saint, but I appreciate it when it comes from the heart. Perhaps I may not handle criticism well at first, like most people do, but I truly value the individuals in my life who can look me in the eyes and tell me my faults without prejudice because only honest people wish you well and will tell you the truth.

You and I can agree on so many of the things you stated about me, but there are two things we both agree on: I am not false or flawless. Many people have been directly or indirectly affected by my candid nature at some point in time. Which may have strengthened or broken our relationship. 

Nevertheless, in as much as I would love to tell you what you like to hear, I will never regret telling you that which is just. It’s my way of life and how I was raised. .

Guilty of my meal.

What are your feelings about eating meat?

I’m not a vegetarian activist!

I adore meat dishes, whether cooked, fried, barbecued, roasted, or otherwise. I rarely eat meals without meat or fish. The sweetness of the meats, especially when prepared well, sometimes pulls my feelings off boundaries to the point where I don’t regard the right to life of the animals whose meat I want more to satisfy my hunger and appetite. However, my emotions can take over at times.

I am not a vegetarian, and I do not excuse the slaughter of animals for food or other purposes; the fact that I have eaten more chicken in my life than fruits, with the exception of carrots, speaks for itself, but deep down I recognise how horrific our actions have been. The number of slaughterhouses and the millions of animals murdered per day for human sustenance.

Meal guilty!

Watching my children play with a ladybug that was discovered in their room a few days ago, how lovely and priceless they thought it was, the smiles on their faces when they interacted with dogs on the walkway or their reactions to squirrels, chickens, and even ants makes me question my appetite and think about how innocent these creatures are and their right to life. Ultimately, I am unable to express my emotions; determining the causes of such enormous animal losses is necessary to keep us humans alive and, to some extent, address the issue of hunger. left me feeling conflicted about each meal.

How you dress!

What are your two favorite things to wear?

How You’re Addressed 

I adore wearing flattering attire at home and out. As someone whose dressings are regularly misread. I enjoy dressing appropriately. Whether it’s casual, corporate, or indigenous, as long as the outfit looks good on me! I am OK.

Cap sneaker me😊

If you are familiar with my dress code, you are probably aware of my response to today’s Daily Prompt on my two favourite items to wear. My enthusiasm for sneakers and face caps is at an all-time high. Knowing that one’s clothing style represents one’s personality and influences how they are perceived, regardless of age, I attempt to dress the way I want to be addressed. However, I could be wrong in your opinion, which is fine.I literally love dressing simply. cap, sneakers, jeans, and a top. 90% of my appearances have me wearing them. 

Having been challenged with the idea of not dressed my age, I want people to understand that my clothing selection is focused not just on fitness but also comfort and flexibility. So, from winter to summer to autumn, you’ll see me not only wearing my trainers and face cap, but also looking very much young nice and handsome in them.

Busy sleeping?

If you didn’t need sleep, what would you do with all the extra time?

Sleep is essential

Given how busy our lives are, even if they are mostly spent doing nothing, we find it difficult to sleep well. If given the option of not having it all, I would take advantage of the opportunity to further my education and relax, both of which will be beneficial to me at this point in my life.

Sleep is extremely crucial for our health and survival. It’s an essential component of overall health and well-being. A phase of diminished mental and physical activity that permits our brains to cycle between REM and non-REM.

While I no longer have an abundance of time and resources,. As a victim of insomnia, I understand how essential sleep is in my life, and a lack of it leaves me stressed, anxious, and upset, which indirectly impacts my other life events negatively. If I didn’t require sleep, I’d rather spend my time resting because success is not judged by the amount of activities we are engaged in.

There are things We all share!

What are your favorite animals?

We all have lives and family.

I was drawn to domestic animals such as dogs and cats until I came across parrots and birds and began to admire them. I had never liked rats or frogs, though I developed an interest in frogs later in life. Perhaps the way their owners behaved with them influenced my perspective or my direct touch with them.

One life

My affection for animals has increased significantly.

In my early years, I went on a few bushmeat hunts and appreciated the food they provided, but most of the time I considered their lives and rights to life as well. Even as my conscience struggles to accept it. However, nothing beats hunger, which is the reason for my early hunt activities without guilt. But in my early adulthood, my overall perception of animals broadened. I became disgusted at our direct and indirect participation in this carnage.

Though I am not a vegetarian, whether for fun, business, or consumption, of which many of us are guilty, it is time we changed our attitudes towards animals. Observing the delight of my small children upon meeting pigeons, cats, dogs, even insects and ants makes me happy and increases my respect of them.

We should all do more to safeguard and protect animals. Seeing how well these creatures coexist with humans and follow animals equally helped me realize and appreciate life and every animal’s right to life as well. My favorite animals may be dogs, cats, and parrots, but I also enjoy lions, eagles, hawks, tortoises, sharks, and wolves, among others, even bugs and ants, because we all share things in common. 

Getting to know myself.

Look within.

I never really understood what it was I was looking for until I found myself. The journey of life is not only characterized by our choices but also the circumstances and nature that surround us. it is the nature of humans to be ambitious. Even at my age I still feel the pressure of dreams not fulfilled and the desire to attain success in all aspects of life. I have wandered and struggled even to the extent of giving myself up for success if that’s what it takes. 

Nevertheless, in the midst of my journey, even at the height of my assumed achievement, I am still not satisfied and contented. I realize that my achievements really weren’t enough or what I thought were missing in my life. Therefore I am still indebted to finding that which my soul longs for. I was told if I were to count my blessings, I would first count my struggles, which made them possible.

Look within

 To conquer the world, one must first conquer oneself. It was in the midst of my life I realized I am what I am looking for and what my soul longs for. I found that I am the center that every other thing resolves. I am the happiness. The peace, the prize. Until I am happy, nothing around me can feel interesting . Until I am peaceful, nothing around me will feel safe; until I am whole, nothing around me will feel complete.

 I must appreciate this present moment to be contented with what the future holds. I must conquer myself to conquer the world. This is not saying that the discovery of my self rids me of everyday troubles; rather, it shapes and strengthens my inner peace and happiness towards greater self-satisfaction, happiness, and growth, which otherwise I have been lacking and searching for all my life. I found myself, and I am keeping myself from being distracted, discouraged again

It all depends on how much I enjoy it.

Beach or mountains? Which do you prefer? Why?

It’s up to your sense of enjoyment.

I do not have much swimming experience. But I enjoy the seaside activities. I’ve been to the beach a few times on scorching summer days with my ex-girlfriend. Malaga, Spain, features lovely beaches crowded with visitors and locals. The pleasant, fresh air bracing your body while you enjoy the beach activities of other beachgoers is appealing.

Beach me

The photos are memorable, with volleyball, kids constructing sandcastles, people swimming with dogs and others sunbathing shirtless on the beach. Also, I’ve been to the mountains several times for retreats and prayers. I cherished its tranquilly. Going to the beach was easy, but climbing the mountains was difficult. While on the mountain, I enjoyed watching mountain bike races, camping, and picnic activities. In the end, our selections may rely on our motives and sense of enjoyment. While I may favour the beach due to its fun, full load, and beehives, others may choose the mountain due to its serenity.
