Can you hear me now? Complex & Communication.

We share an age where our confidence-level is being sapped by the circumstance around us. The challenges of criticism and critics who analyse our actions and looks leave us with uncertainty in our thoughts. At this we become judges of who we are, giving our critics the necessary support and telling ourselves " I'm no good, I've got a big nose and my teeth are not so white". This leaves enough room for self-pity to build a mansion in our pathetic thoughts and mind. Sadly, a great number of share such similar fate.

When i was in secondary school, the fastest sprinter in our house was a tall dark hairy guy with a slight hunchback. His name was Adelawal Olugbese, school being a mischievious environment; he later got to be called "Ademonkey Olugorilla". We all found it amusing because of the match between the name and certain physical features that he possessed. Well, Olugbese only got closer to each of us, the closer he got to us, the harder it became for any of us to address him as olumonkey or adegorrila, and by the time he started representing our house in the Inter-House sports competition, no one called him Ademonkey Olugorrila.

Lawal was able to communicate his true nature to us notwithstanding the names he has been called due to his physical looks. Communicating who we really are has been a challenge for a lot of us. People all over the world hide their fears and insecurities behind a false mask.

I feel that blogs have brought about a new generation of complex-busters, with blogs we are able to share our opinions freely, communicate our doubts openly and even support our belief firmly without fear of harrasment.

Blogs have supported us but we need to help ourselves overcome whatever insecurity we have about ourselves. Oh oh, my laptop battery is down, it's NEPA again. We'll continue this conversation in subsequent post..
