Greetings, everyone!
Welcome to my blog and the last featured contest for this week. It's been an amazing week full of beautiful topics that teach, and exploring our creative ability in ideas and writing.
According to the contest question; Is it really possible to be invisible in this day and age?
My response is yes, but not fully. The majority of people want to be visible, depending on the kind of business they are engaging in, and to go viral and be known for what they are doing. Meanwhile, the invisible ones, want to be known by their words, content, and anything else, and move away without anyone seeing them physically by their names.
Let me share a story of what my fiancé did in disguise. To tell you that I don't like anonymous text or chat. My fiancé used another phone number to chat me up on WhatsApp, and he introduced himself with another name and said where he is from. To be sure of who I was speaking with, I asked him to drop a picture of himself, let me know who I was speaking with, but he refused. I told him that going to block him. That was when he called me by my pet name, to calm down, and his fiancée, who was chatting with me. I was like What? You did this in disguise? He laughed and I laughed.
I love to know who you are, your personality before I can have my open chat or conversation with you. On my own part, I wouldn't like to be invisible in this age. Let me be a blessing to people visibly. Let people feel the impact of what I carry and be known for it.
There was a day when I was asked to lead in prayers at the youth gathering. I came out to read a scripture, and I explained it. While doing that, I made a statement that stuck in someone's mind who was a student, and I didn't know, till we met on the road, and he recapped what I said, and I was shocked. In my mind, I was like What if I said the wrong thing at that time.
Moreso, having a visible conversation, or putting your profile pictures, would make you stay conscious of what you are doing, saying, or content in public.
Invisible conversations don’t create bonds, they create boredom and no direction to some extent. It's just like me, having a chat with an AI that is not a human being, no feelings or emotions, but a robot. There are conversations or questions I would ask, but there would be no response, because there is no human being to see my facial expressions.
For instance, a husband and wife can't have an anonymous chat or conversation in the house, if they do, they will not bond or have a good relationship with each other, and they will be problem in the house. There must be physical contact, body contact, to make their relationship sweeter.
Therefore, I don't think I can hide behind the keyboard without anybody knowing who I am. I want that relationship to be there not hiding.
This is my response to the Hivelearners featured contest week 203 episode 3
