"Are you sure you're going to do this?!"
"This topic is going to be so boring!"
"oh really?! But Men don't read lifestyle blogs, they'd rather prefer a technology blog"

These and more thoughts kept flooding in my head when i finally decided to change the niche of this blog to a lifestyle blog for young male especially young men. One might wonder, what brought about this idea?



I understand the fact that there is this conventional thought which expect a male to figure out all things by himself (which is one of the disadvantages of being a male) but still yet a lifestyle blog could come handy sometimes. Moreover having been blogging for a some years, i recently discover you could hardly find a lifestyle blog for young men on the internet.

     Meanwhile reverse is the case for the opposite gender as the female seems to have quite lots of online platform which share lifestyle tips and almost all miscellaneous things about them.

This motivated me to change the niche of this blog to a male lifestyle blog and apart from that, the thought of owing a platform to share stuff on male lifestyle had been on my head since a while (something about a year or more ago) but i just couldn't face it.
  And right now, am ready to do it!

=> The topics to shared are still the same as before which are Lifestyle, Self-Motivation, Relationship and Growing up tips but just that i hope to focus on the male gender.

Although there are still some future posts on this blog that would apply to both gender especially the Self-Motivation tips.

NOTICE:
If you're of the female gender reading this post, you can check the list of the female blogs and online platform below;

1. FunmyKemmy - a career and entrepreneurship blog for women
2. NaijaSingleGirl writes about lifestyle  of a typical Single Nigerian Girl
3. Esther Adeniyi's Blog focus majorly on general tips for young women's lifestyle
4. BeingGirl.com - From the popular Always, this platform share personal hygiene tips for women
5. Gloriafinesblog - Gloria talks about self development and self motivation for young women

You can do with these five blogs for now, hopefully in the future, i might share more about the lifestyle blog for women and also gives full detail on the ones mentioned above. Don't want to miss that? Subscribe here now!

As regards the changes to this blog, I'll be updating the social profiles connected to this blog which includes the cover photo and bio as soon as i can.

All the best!

Before anything else, am well aware of the popular saying which says growing up is a scam. Infact, this can be really true because of some things life might threw in your way from "making the toughest decision, Saying No, feeling confused, and etcetera.

Even quite recently when i dig a research on Google, the search results and keywords for "bad things about growing up" seems to be far more higher than "good things about growing up".

    But does all these really mean growing up ain't interesting?
        Of course, No!

On this post, we shall take a brief look at some interesting things about growing up.
 Shall we?

5 Positive and Interesting Things About Growing Up

1. You get to travel anywhere - Perhaps one of the best things about growing up is the freedom to do things you love without being restricted unlike when you're a baby.
     If you have a flexible job or earn well enough, you can decide to change your environment temporarily and go for a short trip to another places just to relax your spirit, learn, catch fun or some other purposes.

 Life is an adventure to be explored, and the more you move around, the better you feel. Isn't it?


2. Be Independent - I know it can be a little bit hard when you're independent or trying to be knowing the fact that you'll have to bear responsibility whether you make the right or bad choices. But then it's going to be really interesting as you would feel less disappointed if you don't depend so much on someone else like we do when we're crawling as a baby.

    Like if a crawling baby wants to take something from an high place, she would have to depend on her parents or older person for it else she won't get her choice. But as regards Growing Up, you can decide to do something or choose not to.

3. Fall in Love - Love is undoubtedly one of the most powerful tool existing on earth which can move mountain if it's a true one. A popular love quotes says thus;

"Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength while loving someone deeply gives you courage" - Lao Tzu

    Infact one of the most important 3 Tools You Can Use To Hack Life's Negativity is Love. However at childhood, love is just a mere word and doesn't have so much meaning but Growing Up, one gets to understand it better.



4. Skills & Career - Someone who loves Video Gaming once said "i wish i was still a kid, all i would have to do is Eat, Play Video Games, and Sleep without worrying about anything". But the truth is; if the person didn't grew up to that stage, he wouldn't know what Video Games are talk less of how to play it or have you seen a 3 year old kid playing a video game before?
  Just raise up your hand if you had cos i doubt it.

The person mentioned earlier who's fond of Video Games was able to learn the skill while Growing Up not before growing up. The same thing applies to our other fields which includes Career too

5. You Begin To Understand Yourself Better - No one gets to understand his/her body in a day. As a girl, the first time you had your period, you'll be like O.M.G, what's this blood WHILE a boy might feel shameful when he first had his wet dream (especially) if you have not been briefed on it before by your parents or trusted guardian.
      Apart from Puberty, growing up gives us the chance to discover who you are, what you want to become and how to be it. Like the services i mentioned on my page here and some other miscellaneous took a span of 4-5 good years! Wasn't a day Job;)
  Some people could do so many things without getting it wrong and all those things were learned during the process of growing up.

   So you see; Growing up is an exciting time, you will just be fine no matter! Just trust in yourself and look at the bright side of things

I sat down on one of the cushion chair in the cozy room facing the best woman in my world (tuhamworld). At that moment, i was still trying to recover from the shock of the incident that recently happened and she had came on a mission to make me get over it faster.
   She looked into my eye and expect to see a sad face but was surprised when she found out am smiling. When i look back into hers, it was written all over her face that she is worried.

 We then talked about something else and i did ensure she got a smile on her face before she left my place - a location in one corner of the world known to only few of my loved ones.

After she had left, i walk back into the room, shut the door and then cried myself heartily! Apart from that a male is not usually expected to show emotions like that, Crying heartily is something I doubt if i had ever done ever since i recognize my left from right.
   Not that i haven't been in an unpleasant situation before but just couldn't bear the one that recently happened {i might talk about the incidence some other time on this blog}.

  On the night of that fateful day, i knew i wasn't going to be the same person in the next day as there were two options waiting for me in the morning and that is; Either i became a depressed fellow for the rest of my life or i got over it and choose to laugh over it for the rest of my life.
   When morning finally came, i walked up to an imaginary mirror expecting to see how horrible i had become. But to my utmost surprise, i was smiling! A smile so deep that i could feel it in my heart.

  "You look so handsome today, Tunde!" i said aloud to myself!

    And that was how i got to discover Self-Motivation and also gained the power of Humor (or maybe i had it before but was released that day).
   Today, majority thought am usually happy because i had it all, no i didn't. Am just a normal person like you but who chooses instead to smile often over whatever comes in his way while working to solve it rather than brooding over it.

Now, Bottom Line: I didn't write put up this article on this blog to show off, or for you to feel sorry, i needed that few years back (when the incident occurred), but i just wanted to share this with someone out there who's facing something unpleasant to tell you that, #YouCanDoIt!

  You just have to believe in yourself and be determined never to allow difficult situations weigh you down. That is the only way to get over it and become something greater you are destined to be!

Do you know that there are some common mistakes one do make of which can affect one's lifestyle negatively?

Ever heard of this sentence before "Too much of anything is bad”! And to be candid, whoever came up with that sentence is absolutely correct.

Rest, especially sleep at night is very important. It helps to refresh the brain as well as the whole body system, and prepare them for the next day activities. Yet, it is not uncommon to discover that some people tends to ignore this maybe when they are engrossed in an activity!

You know you should do that work today but a voice in your head keeps saying you can still do it tomorrow and that, you should keep it till then. This is Procrastination at work and it is known as a thief of time which diverts your attention from the important things and made you focus on the less important ones.
     Procrastination is like a rocking chair which gives you something to do but does not take you anywhere!
The only way to overcome procrastination is to STOP THINKING what you ought to do, AND START DOING it right NOW!

6. Hurting Yourself To Make The Other Happy
Any form of Relationship ought to be the combined efforts of the people involved in it but if you find yourself in a situation where it is one-sided, then one really need to make some changes or maybe even call it quit.
