INTRODUCTION

It's about time we took a deep breath, cleared our minds off distractions and faced the truth concerning who we are and aren't, what we can and can't do offline, and what we pass through in the actual and factual sense and not just some kind of heroes or stars that we claim to be online.

Online, you might be everybody's favorite, and everyone sees you as their idol. You wake up in the morning, wash yourself up and get dressed for the day's activities appearing smart, strong and sound, then putting on a smiling face before the world to see, and everyone thinks life is just perfect with you. Many say, "I wish I could be like you." This is simply because they really don't know you well enough, or know about you in the closet, and they've got no idea what you go through; they only assume that with the nature of your great social status and influence, which they see on social media and based on how you appear publicly, you must then be at the top of the world. "Ah! I wish they understood!" So you say. Should they get to know what you're facing or what you are in need of, they would understand that reality isn't a role you play in a movie.

For a moment, let's take our minds off social media, or movies and the world of entertainment in general. Let's talk you, let's talk me, let's talk about us. Let's have a reasoning together concerning this very life, your life in the secret and on the inside; when you're alone, the challenges that you're trying to deal with in which the public is unware of. Are you deeply happy with this life? Let's be honest with ourselves, are things going the very way we plan?

Sometimes, when you sleep, you dream of big things, of how you find yourself living the life you've always wanted, a life void of awkward circumstances and divers issues bringing heartaches and heartbreaks, and you always live that life in fantasy. But then, when you wake up, opening your eyes, it only reminds you of how stuck you are in the real realm and reality of trauma and unbearable situations.

Someone said, "The greatest lie we always tell is, AM FINE." Technically, don't you think you have always been passing such false information to people and to yourself? When you are asked, "How are you?" Very few persons care to answer, "Am not fine." What you do instead is smile and reply, "Am fine." Sometimes you say it with such smile and pride, or maybe by faith. But deep down inside of you, you know very well you are definitely not fine.

Things are absolutely going contrary to what we hope and plan, yet for the sake of people, for them not to ask, "What's wrong?" And this they ask not with the intention of offering a solution, we try as much as possible to appear bright and smart. What's the essence of telling them about the fact of not being fine when they won't even do anything about it, right?

Humanity in general is full of H- Hardship. Sometimes you struggle and hustle, yet it seems things are just not working out. Also, you become stuck in U- Unhappiness. Many can't find happiness in life. No matter how hard they must have tried, things keep going within the same axis of unhappiness. They look back and all the could see are the M- Mistakes they have made and can't go back to change it. Now, as they struggle to fight through the huddles in life, they encounter A- Afflictions. Most times, giving up begin to set in.and N- Negativity, I- Insecurities, T- Trauma, and Y- Yoke.
