...OF AGEING AND GETTING OLD

-

From the last time I made a post till now, I have aged tremendously this is because I had to go through very stressful moments. 

I had a very beautiful and well-drafted timetable as to what I had to write and even how I was going to go about writing all of them, but because we do not always get what we want, I didn't get to make any of those posts. 

I do not know if today's post has anything to do with health, but I know that today is my birthday and people say that we age every time we celebrate our birthdays (though I want to believe that I'm not aging 😪) 

To understand how it is that the fusion of a sperm and an ovum gives rise to a human never makes complete sense to me despite the biology and anatomy lectures I've been privileged to attend. To further understand how people are born, how they grow, and how they eventually get old with time is not something my brain finds easy to do. 

I know that while aging, people decline and eventually lose the ability(ies) they have to do certain things, and they tend to become fragile. 

While reflecting on my birthday, and the fact that I am supposedly "aging", I had a prayer request in my heart: it is that like the palm tree🌴 in Psalm 92:13-14, I'll still be very productive while I age, I bring forth so many fruits, and that I am ever fat, fresh and flourishing (not just in the physical). I desire that I bear fruit in my prime, and when even when I am supposed to have stopped doing so. 

To aging and getting old while flourishing and being ever productive, Happy Birthday to me🤭🥂💫



PS: I got a T-shirt today to celebrate my birthday and my blogversary. It was a very thoughtful gift and I'm so grateful. 

My main birthday wish was to spend the night outdoors and I didnt know how possible it was going to be, but thank you to my friend for making it possible without even knowing it. 

Also, thank you for all the prayers and birthday wishes across various social media platforms. I am indeed grateful.🙌

      Thank you for the wishes. And yes, even if you wish to age gracefully, add a little bit of "graceful-audacity" and face life with much courage. Thank you for reading.

ABOULOMANIA

 Dear Reader,  . . . Saying "Happy New Month" on the 5th day of the month doesn't feel weird and since we haven't met this month, Happy New Month. Here's hoping that you have been faring well and that your year is coming to an end in the way God wants it to.  I'd love to share a story, which will launch me to my topic for today. It is about a young person who was trying to "figure out" life when he got to a 'crossroad'. There were mixed feelings. Moments of indecision, confusion, insecurity, and uncertainty. This affected the person's ability to make minor decisions necessary for their day-to-day activities.  Seemingly little as this might appear, it relates to a condition known as ABOULOMANIA which is a mental disorder characterized by pathological indecisiveness. It can be referred to as the paralysis of the will . It is usually diagnosed alongside other mental disorders such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), depression, or sub...

MEMORY LOSS

Dear Reader, Today happens to be one of those long and hectic days. Days when you do not really imagine your schedule to be tiring and draining, but you just come back all weak, and completely drained. Yes, that was what happened to me.  I lost my device just recently, and it wasn't a fun experience. Everything happened so fast that I didn't even know how I felt. I was stranded and confused. I know that I was hoping to get a better device soon, but I also didn't want to lose the one I was using the way I lost it. In fact, I cried after the incident 😄😅 Thankfully, I didn't have to stay without a device for long as God used my Dad to provide another one. I was happy and I tried to activate it and get things back to normal... That was when it began to dawn on me that I had lost almost everything in my former device. My pictures, my chats, my random notes, my messages, and almost everything I had stored in the phone all the while I used it. It felt like a part of my memor...

DRY SENSATION

The weather has been quite hot and dry in most places this period. I know that so many people like myself have been quite dehydrated and easily thirsty due to the weather change. Even after taking water sometimes, I still have this dry sensation and I always want more water!  The body has some mechanisms it uses to maintain homeostasis whenever we are thirsty or dehydrated. These are actions the body takes to ensure that a constant internal environment is maintained even when there is less water due to the hot and dry weather.  Whenever the body has lesser fluid or a higher concentration of certain osmolites, we tend to become thirsty. The hypothalamus plays a vital role in the regulation of thirst. One thing the hypothalamus does is increase the synthesis of antidiuretic hormone(ADH) called vasopressin , which is secreted by the pituitary gland and travels to the kidneys to perform its function. In the kidney, it causes water to be reabsorbed from the urine, thus reduc...
