"Beyond Beauty:A Story of self love"
Avril just gave birth to a baby girl but her joy was short lived,as she was recovering from postnatal or postpartum recovery her husband,Alex made a thoughtless comment about her changed body.
"You look different, Avril.you have gained weight and your stomach is saggy ," he said, scrunching up his face in distaste.
Avril felt a sting from his words, like a punch to her already vulnerable postpartum self.she had expected support and understanding from her partner,but instead she got body shaming.
Tears pricked at the corner of her eyes as she looked at her reflection, seeing the stretch marks,the soft belly,and the tired eyes.She felt like she had lost her identity, like she was no longer the attractive woman Alex fell in love with.
But then,something inside Avril shifted.she realized that her body had done an incredible thing _it had grown a life, nourished a baby and brought a new human into the world.she thought about all the women who had gone through the same transformation and how strong and beautiful they were.
Avril stood up straight ,looked Alex in the eye, and said "my body may look different,but it's still mine and it's still beautiful , motherhood changed it but I acknowledge the fact it brought in precious gift that's something to be proud of."
From that day on,Avril embraced her new body, and she expected respect and support from those around her.she knew that she was more than her physical appearance _she was strong, loving and capable and that was all that mattered.
Note:This story reflects on the experiences of many women who face body shaming and negative comments after childbirth.its essential to promote body positivity, support and self love for new mothers.

(My Journey to Motherhood :a story of love and strength)
As I hold my baby in my arms.I'm overwhelmed with emotions.the journey to get here was not easy the sweet pains,scars and trauma but they worth every moment.

I had to stay strong even though I don't know how far my strength could hold,the anticipation and preparation for motherhood and the ultimate joy of meeting my baby for the first time ,it's been a journey like no other.
I have learnt so much about my self and what it means to be a mother.i've learned about strength, resilience and the power of love.
I hope my little story will inspire and encourage you whether you are a new mom or mom to be.

(Domestic violence).
A message to men who beats their wives.
Your strength is meant to protect, not harm.your role is to love and cherish not dominate and control.Domestic violence is never the answer.its a sign of weakness not strength.
You may think you're asserting power,but you are actually destroying the very person who loves and cares for you.The scars may fade,but the fear and pain linger.
Seek help,seek healing.Learn to communicate,to listen and to love without condition.Remember, real men don't hit.they uplift, support and cherish.
Break the cycle of violence.choose love not hurt.
Say NO to domestic violence.

(Gender Equality)
Gender equality is a fundamental human right yet many women face depression and marginalization due to gender bias.
The pursuit of a specific gender can lead to depression, discrimination, unrealistic expectations and disappointment.
Let's break free from gender stereotypes and embrace equality.every individual deserve respect , opportunities and love regardless of their gender.
Let's create a world where all genders are valued equally, where choices are respected, depression replaced with joy and equality is the norm.
Most women has lost their lives due to this gender discrimination during pregnancy especially the "Africans" most of them fall into depression and even develop mental health disorder, all this has to stop let the world embrace gender equality and value both genders.

(Body Shaming).
"The mirror reflects your body but it doesn't define your worth".
Body shaming is a hurtful lie that says you aren't enough.But the truth is you are so much more than your physical appearance.Your worth is your strength, your heart and your spirit.
Everybody is unique and everybody is beautiful.Lets celebrate our differences and embrace our individuality.
You are more than your weight,shape or your size.you are a work of art,a masterpiece,a one_of_a_kind wonder.
Don't let body shaming hold you back from living your best life.you are worthy of love, respect and happiness just as you are.
Let's rise above body shaming and lift each other up.you are beautiful inside and out.

(Drug Abuse)
Say NO to drug abuse!!
Drug abuse is a dark part that promises fake freedom but delivers real chains.its a trap that hides behind temporary highs but leads to permanent lows.
"You are the future and your life is precious".
Don't let hard drugs define your story.you are stronger than any substance and dreams are worth more than any fleeting thrill.
Remember,every high comes with a low and every addiction has a cost.
Your health, relationships and future are all on the line.
You have the power to say NO!!!.

(Weakness)
Weakness is not a limitation,but an opportunity for growth.its a reminder we are human and that we can learn,adapt and become stronger.
Embrace your weaknesses, don't be afraid to ask for help.
You are stronger than you think!
Remember, Weaknesses are a chance to learn and grow, and asking for help is a sign of strength not WEAKNESS.

Trapped (continuation)
Thank you so much ma I really appreciate your kind gesture towards me,I said after accepting the food from her."Pls don't bother returning the food flask I will come for it tomorrow let me leave you to enjoy your meal" she said heading to the door ,I felt this goose bumps all over my body "alright bye" she said shutting the door from behind,I locked the door sat for a minute to pounder over everything starting from the weird dream to my landlady bringing me food I knelt down and said a little prayer after praying I felt it wise to call my father to explain what has been happening,he advised me to rent out the place and add up some money to it and search elsewhere for a new apartment.
I was thinking on how to pack out from an apartment I just moved into not even up to a month that's strange and awkward I quickly disposed the food into the waste bin cause I felt this coldness deep down after that I went out to get food stuffs to prepare lunch and dinner on my way out I met a young man sitting outside the next compound close to mine I decided to say hi and make a little research about the house,right now I can't wait till evening to talk to the neighbors cause I'm becoming more curious "Good afternoon bro,pls can I have some moment with you?" I asked the young man,he stood up giving me a friendly look"Afternoon bro how may I help you, I haven't seen your face here before " he said moving closer "yes you are right I just moved into the next house last week I'm new here" I responded with a smile "ooh no wonder! you are welcome, hope you are enjoying your new apartment " he said giving me a warm look " not really the thing is this morning I went to get somethings for breakfast just down the street the lady selling there asked a question about where I lived which i replied but her reaction was strange not just that I became worried when she refered to my house as a death trap I have been restless since then " I explained what happened between I and the lady to him ,"Hmm..I don't know how this might sound bro but she's absolutely right there is something wrong with this particular building ,the landlady has been rumored to be a Witch! People flourish only when it's time to renew there rent after that suffering continues hmm I know I ain't supposed to say this but you staying here is like buying a ticket to prison,most of them here had lived here for years with no intention of leaving it's like a bo***ge " he said in a low tone looking around in fear
"My God" I exclaimed "what have I gotten my self into but how come they don't pack out when they get the money to renew their rent" I asked out of curiosity "it's a spiritual thing I can't explain further did you ask about the last person that lived in your own apartment ? He died from a strange illness hmm this house is really a Death Trap I feel for you seriously "he said in whispers at this point I couldn't move nor say a word.

(Decency)
Decency is a superpower!
In a world where negativity and hate can spread fast, choose to be a beacon of kindness,respect and empathy.Treat others the way you want to be treated.stand up for what's right even when it's hard.
Decency is not just about how we treat others,but also about how we treat ourselves,be gentle with your heart and don't be too hard on yourself.
Remember, decency is not just a virtue,it's a strength.lets rise above the noise and create a world where everyone is treated with dignity and respect.

Do you know men cry too?
(The Unseen tears)
The strongest men are often the ones who cry in the shadows, bearing weight of their family's wellbeing on there shoulders.the pressure to provide, protect and be the rock of their loved ones can be overwhelming.yet they silently endure.
Their tears are often unseen, hidden behind a mask of strength and resilience.But make no mistake they cry too.They cry for the struggles,the fear and the uncertainties that come with being a father, husband and provider.
Let us not forget that men also have a heart that beats with emotions that breaks when they see their family suffer, and that longs for support and understanding.
May we create a world where men can express there emotions without judgement and where there unseen tears are acknowledged and valued.

(Continuation from Jenny's pain)
Jenny did you just say start up a business like this is the first time you are doing such,how about your provision shop which you opened with the help of your siblings and some of your friends which I supported too immediately you started doing well in your business your husband stopped taking responsibilities for feeding and the up keep of you and your kids he stopped bringing in a dime remember! You had to do everything yourself including feeding from the business till the shop became empty. Remember, your clothes and bag business you started after the first crumbled he did same thing to you, you started spending much more than your gain to the extent of selling below cost price in other to pay the house rent when you have a man by your side Jenny can't you see this marriage of a thing is slowly ruining your life, I'm sorry I didn't mean to hurt nor add to your pains but jenny I think you need to involve the human rights into this, this is domestic violence take a look at your body "Audrey you are absolutely right, I'm slowly becoming a shadow of my own self but when ever I look at my kids I don't know how they will cope without there father moreover my family won't even give me a listening ear they keep telling me to bear all this for my kids sake,Audrey do you know he keeps late nights atimes sleeps out I'm tired of crying and bearing all this when I met Jason he wasn't like this,he promised to take good care of me after the birth of my second child Mira he just changed Audrey I don't know him anymore this isn't the man I said yes to ,he can't bear laying on same bed with me as if he feels irritated being around me he sleeps at the children's room over a year now" Jenny broke down into uncontrollable tears.
I rushed to her and gave her a tight hug,it's enough Jenny you have cried enough now you need to stand your ground it's far better you become a single mother and have peace of mind than stay in this torture called Marriage.

Broken
Emily starred at the shattered mirror,she couldn't help but feel a reflection of her own brokenness.
The pieces of glasses seemed to echo the fragments of her heart.
It has been a year since the night that changed everything.The night she was sexually abused, violated and left being broken.But Emily refused to let the darkness define her.With every shard of glass she swept up,she vowed to rebuild herself.
Pick up the broken pieces of your life and watch healing come.

I asked with a cracked voice "It's me your Landlady,pls open up" right now,I flashed back to the horrible dream I just had,now am scared same time trying to maintain my balance I adjusted my panties picked up my shirt and opened the door "I have been knocking since sorry to disturb pls" she said giving me a warm smile "I was actually sleeping ma sorry for keeping you standing pls come in" she came in immediately" this place is beautiful,you are very neat too I'm impressed with what I see" she said looking round like someone in search of something "thank you ma" I responded with a smile.
I just finished cooking you know I live with my niece she went to work,she would have helped me bring it to you I made rice and stew Its really much you needed to see my pot filled to the top I decided to bring some to you,I observed you are always at home and a bachelor too " she said taping my shoulders in Laughter I don't know if I should accept the food or not though it's noon already and am famished I flashed back to the dream again!!

I moved into a new apartment last weekend a room self contain I was so excited though the outside might look discouraging but the interior decoration was topnotch I was so excited you know that feeling moving into a new apartment having new neighbors and seeing new faces I felt happy and same time tensed I observed no one in the compound stays at home at noon except I and my Landlady it's obvious they all leave for work every morning and comes back in the evening well am a personal shopper also a freelancer so I work from my comfort zone, the compound is always quiet and cool same with the Street i was kinda enjoying the calmness until three days ago when I went to get Noodles and veggies for breakfast the lady selling at the store kept starring at me I was wondering why she's looking at me like that I pushed forward to ask her what she's starring at she just smiled " it's seems you are new here " she said I replied with a nod " pls don't be offended where exactly do you stay" she asked again I pointed at the building where I stayed " I just packed in Last week that's my place" she immediately gave me my change saying "I really pity you"I was surprised and same time curious to know what she meant by that I asked her what she meant by feeling pity for me she picked up a broom started swiping her shop "that place you call a house is a death trap, did you ask questions before paying and packing in I guess you didn't, the Lord is your strength pls leave " I was just starring at her with lots of thoughts running through my mind what does she mean by death trap that word kept ringing in my ears as I walked home getting home I wasn't myself anymore I loosed appetite immediately I started feeling cold I reached out to my phone called the agent that brought me here I asked him some questions about the house and told him what I experienced not quite long he assured me nothing like that will happen or is true that the lady is a popular gossip that I shouldn't go there again

Yesterday on my way going out I stopped by at Jenny's house she was looking so worn out and weak I was just starring at her wondering what could be wrong with her she broke the sillence by offering me a sit "madam this one you remembered me today" she said with a weak smile " I was on my way to the market so i decided to say hi, Jenny you don't look okay to me what's going on with you, how is your Husband too" I asked out of curiosity.
She offered me a drink and sat down facing head down "Are you okayy? Your face look swollen and stressed out " I asked once more cause this time am becoming worried she went inside and came out with a dress stained in blood "Audrey this is my dress the blood stains you see here are also from my body just take a look at my body she took her clothes off the bruises on her body made tears drop from My Eyes "Who did this to you Jenny" I asked with tears flowing down my cheeks "My Horseband" she muttered living with a man who molests his wife whenever he feels like is really a painful situation "He beats me when ever and how ever he wishes nothing I do makes him happy,when ever he sees me smiling he starts looking for faults bringing up unnecessary topics,his a chronic womanizer, a Narcissist this bruises you see was given to me by him no one in the compound, family nor friends listens to me he always play victim and make it look like am the insane person here Audrey! Am loosing my mind"
"So you mean you have been going through this all this while and you didn't bother opening up to anyone? Seriously Jenny you have to quit this sham called Marriage. I said with a serious look. "I can't Audrey,I have three kids already my parents warned me about him but I fell deaf ears they don't talk to me anymore moreover I can't stand the societal trauma of being a Divorcee,I just need money to start up a business that's all" she opened the drink with a look "what's wrong with you Jenny you rather listen to the society than taking care of yourself?

Once,there was a beautiful garden filled with vibrant flowers and lush greenery.but one day,a dark cloud named Depression descended upon it casting a shadow over the entire garden
The Flowers began to wilt, there colors fading away.the trees stopped growing their leaves crumbling to the ground.The garden's beauty was hidden , and it seemed lost forever.
But one day,a gentle breeze named hope whispered to the garden "You are not alone.you are strong and capable of healing" The garden slowly began to respond.The flowers started to bloom again their colors brighter than before.The trees regained strength, their leaves rustling in the wind.
The garden realized Depression was just a cloud and it would pass the gardens beauty was still there waiting to be nurtured and loved.And with hope by its side,The garden flourished once more.
Remember, Depression is like a cloud,it will pass.You are strong and capable of healing.Hold on to hope, and your beauty will flourish once more.
Feel free to share this story to spread hope and support to those struggling with Depression!

Truly Depression is real!!! I come in contact with people who wants me sad by all means ready to go any length to see me in pains going out to get something to eat after crying my eyes out on my way I passed by some group of girls they bursted into Laughter immediately I wasn't certain I was the reason behind there amusement next I got to my customers store and got some snacks and soda they started spilling out words not suitable to the ears they were body shaming me cause of my stature that I look Tiny,malnourished And breakable I think they are saying all that to get my attention probably because I don't vibe with them I'm an introvert and enjoy staying within my comfort zone (home) I nearly lost my balance immediately those words pierced through my chest I try to maintain my posture and focus on what brought me outside but the Laughter coming from them was loud I felt cold shiver running down mine spine took my snack and change and left immediately without saying a word to them I walked as fast as I can in other to get home faster cause my body wasn't aligning with my thoughts,Lots of people out there are the reason most people fall in to Depression.
Kelly's journey to Depression didn't just start here.
