THE PERSONAL CHALLENGE

Ever since I started sewing and creating stuff, I’ve become close with a few other people who like to sew too. So when my friend hits me up on Whatsapp the other day that he’s almost done with a new challenge, I’m like “Oh my goodness, trust these people to keep you on your feet even when you need those feet to rest”; ‘cause trust me, when your friend tells you hey I just made this, you like?, you start to feel like you’re the laziest person ever! Like, you could have been doing something instead of watching that stupid soap cos really you already know how the story will end. *hisses* so you get up your ass and get on the machine!
So I lazily reply him, “oh really, let me see it when you’re done”. You can’t imagine my relief when he said it was not a sewing project!

His project, his personal challenge was… *drum roll* *pause for effect* … staying away from porn and masturbation for a month! I know some of you will say, oh c’mon! I’ve gone without for longer than a month! *yinmu* ehn, we have heard! Drum roll for you too.

Now you might be wondering why my friend would disclose something like that to me… well, cos I and my friends can be close like that! Moving on…

Staying away from porn (and all other things that follow) can be quite a challenging thing to do; that’s why I’m always proud of folks who struggle to stop, abstain, burn CDs, Shift+Del their porn videos. So I know 3 people now who have made it their challenge to stop watching porn and I yaaaay them! Even if you’re just abstaining for some time, I’ll still yaaaay you cos that also is a bold step!

So why does this make me happy, and why am I blogging about it? Why, cos I think it’s worth it to cheer on people who have decided to drop really bad habits; cos not only have they taken on a big bold step, they also are courageous! May the good Lord grant the rest of us such courage! Amen.

PS: If y’all wanna start a Porn Anon. forum on my blog, feel free to ask me! Lol. No really, ask me!
