From Addition To This Disciplined Me// Hive Naija weekly prompt 108.

Moving forward simply means that at some point something was holding you back but inorder to move ahead there must have to be a process of release so for me to answer this question effectively I would like to point out the fact that it was not a total hold back, I might have been moving but not freely and as fast as it suppose to be. Before going further this is me sending down my pleasantries from this side, hope you all are doing perfectly okay? So for today I would be participating on the second contest topic.

Am a movie lover, my usual self which is the me before watches movie like five or four per day, I also like reading novels that is booklet that contains a narrative of a story I always get attracted, it even got to the point where when ever I fix my eyes on the screen of a phone in the name of watching movies, anybody calling my name or needing my attention at that moment is disturbing me just like it is itching my body, it was that bad but at that time I never saw it like that it was just like a normal thing to me and when people complain about my been too attached to watching movies I usually think they just want to talk unnecessarily. Most of the movies I watch where not bad but you know what you do something and take it over board like you over do that thing it becomes harmful to us.

I do read novels but not to the extent of addiction to it, the movies part was what I got addicted to which got to the extent that I was familiar with most Nigeria movies that comes out new or even old, there was a time when I had finish watching the movies I had on my phone I was looking for new ones to watch so my brother said he has someone that he knows would have movies on her phone, and I was all excited that we went that same day during the evening time, but it was not my lucky day because as I met the girl I went through her phone, she had lot of movies but I had watched all of them except one which came out just that week, it was I who ended up sending movies for the girl and my brother was like I am the master of movies.

Recently I got a personal conviction about watching movies that I have reduce drastically using the instance of my recent move, it's not like I do not see the movies infact I have them on my phone but by God's grace I have disciplined myself on watching movies, like since a day before yesterday I started watching just one movie and up till today I have not finished that movie, if I were asked what I need to drop inorder to move forward I would say my time, I have noticed that I have been engaging my time doing things that does not benefit anyone just activities that seems like distraction but we tag entertainment.

If I can dedicate my time fully, detaching from those activities that I engage which seem irrelevant at this stage of my life, you are familiar with this saying that says "doing the right thing at the wrong time" is what I would refer to this as and it is because one do not know his purpose that such person would engage in various activities just to fit in, though it has not been easy but I since I understood this I have been trying to cut down on those activities inorder to move forward.

It's such a pleasure to do this with all of you and it is at this junction that I would drop my pen, I love, honour and appreciate you all 🥰.
