Don't Shut Up!

By Misslara16 @misslara
Hi everyone!
This is just a quick one to remind you to never let anyone or anything shut you up. Let people call you "I too know" and the likes it's not in your place to care what they think.. Sometimes we feel the need to keep quiet because we don't want to be perceived a certain way.. well, I say don't do that to yourself. Do not  hide your 'specialness' because of what people will think or say about You.
Let me give you a cool story!  Everyone knows I talk a lot so earlier this year, I decided that I was going to talk less especially in public. Thing is the only thing probably special about me is the fact that I talk a lot except from my big belly sha... thats a talent! Wink*
 So it happened when I initially resumed law school in Nigeria a discussion was going in on in lectures actually it was a series of discussions and I have good if not excellent knowledge in that field because of my study of jurisprudence. The discussion went on in class and everyone was saying things that were not quite right the answers were burning on my insides all this time... They kept going round and round on the topic and I sat there not saying anything because I felt I didn't want to be the girl that talks a lot reason being its a new environment and people will be forming opinions about other people. In short, I kept quiet, said nothing and let the mediocre discussion continue for about an hour. Still I said nothing. I let all the information I acquired through pain lie in waste and dormant in me. People clearly needed that information I had it yet I did nothing.
After the class, I started to feel disappointed in myself, I had let me down, let God who gave me wisdom down and my tutor Doctor James Slater would not me proud of me because he did so much to teach us jurisprudence.
Moral of the story is, don't keep quiet for any reason. God has called us to be a solution to our world and we can not achieve that by keeping our mouths shut. Let anyone think what they want about you they are not your god, neither are they your destiny. So I told myself... I will make a change God has given me something special I will say it till people get bored of me... or not.. maybe not the bored part.
My people let's speak out and be a light to our world.
