A PRIVATE LIFE IS A HAPPY LIFE🤗

The world we live in today is a place where most people want to overshare everything about their lives to seek validation from strangers on social media, from the food they eat to their relationships with people, details about what happens in their family, and practically everything that goes on in their lives.

I will never compromise my privacy for anything. Having freedom of speech is good, but we live in a world where your safety after exercising your freedom of speech is not guaranteed. People have been picked up from their homes by government officials as a result of exercising their rights to freedom of speech. People can no longer have a peaceful protest demanding justice or asking the government to do right by the people because they will be shot down by military forces or get arrested, just like what we experienced during the ENDSARS protest in Nigeria.

In my opinion, a private life is a happy life because it reduces unnecessary drama, malicious intentions, and gossip. Although that does not still prevent people from gossiping, it allows us to choose not to engage them since it is usually out of speculation and not always true since they have little or no access to my private life.

Bringing my personal lifestyle online to total strangers will only give them the right to have opinions over my life, just like we see every day, especially with so many celebrities and influencers, and you will have to start defending or trying to give explanations to complete strangers over things that do not even matter to them, people who would use your stories to chase clout or to keep them entertained, which to me I do not agree with that.

People cannot respect your private life when you, as an individual, have no respect for it. Most cases of blogs destroying or tarnishing people's image online can only happen because those people have consciously given them permission to do that by putting out every little detail about their personal lives.

Keeping things private guarantees your safety and that of your close friends and family; this cannot be overemphasized. We have seen situations whereby people get killed or kidnapped because they are fond of dropping their current locations online.

Keeping things private is not the same as staying or living in complete isolation, pushing people away, or not having someone to confine.

Keeping my personal life private allows me to focus more on what matters and on the people who are dear to me. It means I get to connect with a small circle of people who really understand me and have my interests at heart, people who are trustworthy and will not stab me in the back. Most celebrity scandals that have been leaked are usually gotten from their closest circles, people who claim to be their friends but are having malicious motives for reasons best known to them.

The way I love my privacy is the main reason why I applaud those people who go on reality TV shows. I cannot imagine myself being televised for people to watch me as I hang out with friends and family, go about doing my business, be goofy, breathe, cough, eat, and even sleep. These are things I would rather keep private and enjoy the moment without having cameras following me.

I so much cherish my privacy; hence, I always try my best to keep it protected both online and offline.

Thank you for coming to my blog🤗.
