As they say, there is a limit to everything because too much of everything is bad. In everything we do, we should know when to stop because you never know the aftermath. As individuals, there’s obviously some parts of our lives we don’t go about talking to everyone about.
This afternoon, I was speaking to a friend and he spoke about how he prefers to keep his personal life private. You will never see him posting his wife, kid, or even his parents. This person is someone who posts every blessed day but there has never been a day I have seen him post his close family or even family matters.
Maturity as we all know has so many meanings. There are some things we all wouldn’t expect a matured person to do. For example, you wouldn’t expect a married woman to come and post what happened between her and her husband anytime they get into an argument. But it would surprise you to know that there are people out there who still do that. Sometimes they don’t necessarily have to write the exact thing that happened but from the quotes and memes they put up, you know there’s fire on the mountain.
Privacy is a very important factor in every individuals life. I for one value my privacy very much and everyone around me knows that. Growing up, my parents trained my siblings and I to learn to know our boundaries and also not to invade other peoples privacy. But then, in as much as they tried to make us understand why having boundaries is important, they made sure to create a safe space for us all to open up and talk about what’s bothering us anyday, anytime. My younger siblings can get back from school just now and start to rant about whatever happened in school that they felt wasn’t right. In some homes, you will never see this because one or both parents would just not even give the child a listening ear which is very bad.
Everyone is private in one way or the other but we all should learn to open up when necessary. There are obviously some things about other people you can’t just try to poke your nose into, even if they are your family members. In all my years of living, I have never heard or seen my parents or other family members concern themselves with whatever happens in each others marriages. But I have for sure experienced situations where family members came out to speak about how they felt to other family members and issues were solved amicably. Even after this, you would never ever hear anyone from the family talk about what went down because someone’s issue shouldn’t even be up for discussion in the open.
Personally, I would never ever try to poke my nose into someone’s personal business unless they decide to open up to me. You don’t necessarily have to leave your loved ones to be on their own all in the name of privacy. Make sure to check up on them, ask them about what’s going on in their lives but don’t push too far and be generally open with them. The rest would just come freely. It all has to do with the other party trusting you. If someone’s trusts you, no matter who you are to the person they would open up to you if they are going through a hard time. It’s as easy as ABC. Just build trust and you are good to go.
all images belong to me.
Yeah we need to allow them open up by themselves. But some of our family members need our help and don't just know how to ask. God will help us all.
Thanks for sharing
If you don’t know how to ask, you would have to find a way to ask because you can’t keep holding it in. Some people are just too proud to ask.
That is right.
Thanks for hopping in
It's a good idea to respect people's privacy, whatever they want to let out is what we get to know and what they want to keep private remains that way without we trying to know what they ain't willing to share just like your friend who keeps his family privacy despite publishing daily.
Everyone has his values and we must learn to respect that.
Weather looks so beautiful.
What I am curious about is the first and second images, were those also taken in Ghana or are you traveling around the world?😄
Haha, I travel the world when I can. Those pictures were actually not taken in Ghana.😂
I took the first one in the Netherlands and the second one in the US.
wow, you are living the life!😄
Nice one dear!
I’m learning from you.😅🤝

STOPPrivacy is indeed a fundamental aspect of personal well-being. It's commendable that your upbringing emphasized both respecting boundaries and creating a supportive environment for open communication within the family.
My parents did their best.😅
Thanks for passing by.
Hheheh, you won't blame people for keeping certain things private, some of them are doing so out of experience. It just so bad that most people don't believe that there are still good people in the world. Trust has it here,it's one of the master keys to unlocking people's private life.
There are some people you just don’t tell your business to. They are low key your enemies of progress.😂
Hahhah, life no balance Sha🤣
I tell you.😅
Babe, I am in love with your Images..so on point.. creative captures 👌
So valuable teachings from ur mum
And yes, we shouldn't push more if the person don't want to open up but one is sure...if we are good at caring for them, checking up on them, if they trust us, opening up becomes easy
Aww, thank you. I’m glad you liked them.😅
