This is an unedited memo from Stella Damasus:
I have been
trending for the past two days now. Day one was about people wishing me
well and praying for me on my birthday. Day two is now filled with
gossip, scandals and all sorts, but that is as far as the so called
journalists and bloggers are concerned. As far as I am concerned I had a
blast on my birthday and I will not allow other human beings steal my
joy regardless.
I choose to enjoy my life because I know I
deserve it. Nobody went through my own trying times with me and I did
not go through any with others.
When God decides to bless me,
turn my mourning to dancing, turn my tears to laughter and turn my anger
to happiness, no man on earth can change it or spoil it.
Truth
is, I laughed when I saw some of the blogs and websites quoting and
saying things they know absolutely nothing about. Writing things they
have heard without concrete evidence, ghosts that cannot show their
faces and ask direct questions. But they believe and think that they can
wake up one day and decide people’s fate and destiny. Unfortunately
they are made to feel important because people hate to read positive
things and achievements, but give them juicy gossip and all of a sudden
you become the most popular writer who has gist on everybody.
I
realized that when I write blogs and articles about important
information, encouragement, education and positive things, only twenty
percent out of a hundred actually read it and leave comments. The other
eighty percent jump at the gossip and scandals and then start to ask me
stupid questions. These are people who have not communicated with me in
ages but all of a sudden they feel the need to profess undying
friendship and a listening ear. The fact that they believe I have the
time or energy to respond to the most trivial issues baffles me.
Let me repeat myself in case some of these people missed it. “I really
do not care what you say or write, the truth is who God has blessed no
man can curse” , and if you believe that trying to turn a wonderful
birthday into a global gossip game will make me feel bad then I am so
sorry this Stella is not as stupid as you think”
