How To Live Right

This isn’t exactly the next post I envisioned for my blog but like the saying from my overused piece of art, “WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE” whoever said what will be, will be, didn’t mean what you want, will be“, so writing this kinda feels right. I wish someone or my parents told me with full honesty the reality

THE GREATEST INFLUENCER

The first time I watched Yellow by Coldplay, I was a depressed teenager.I played out two scenarios in my head: Out there alone in the multitude of people, probably feeling euphoric thanks to MDMA or a mind/emotional altering substance, and just feeling every sort of emotion rush through my being. Out there with my lover, his arms around me and

She Tried

I did it! Exceptionally and oh so satisfying. I just completed the 40-day plus fasting for Lent (for the first time!!!) and asides a little headache, all I feel on the inside is Gratitude. Immense gratitude to be honest. I feel nudged in the spirit to hold back on my full expression but if I really do that, wouldn’t that

Still Here

Oh my God! Hiiiii! Did anybody miss me??!! I strongly believe that it would be a great disservice if I don’t start the new year off with the gift that God has blessed me with; WRITING!! If you’re an old reader and you are currently reading this, I’m really thankful for your support through my inconsistent phases of creativity. The

Well, if the subject title caught your attention, I would like to plead that you share this with anyone & everyone, because in one way or the other, we are all going through a tough

My Short Term Relationship With A Street Hawker

When we think about death, love and birth; how what was never here, appears and how what was once here, disappears. My relationship with the street hawker explains it all. The month of December 2019 was a great one. From my balcony, I would look out for her and run downstairs to get hot steaming puff puff, buns, donuts, fish

Positive Vibes

It’s been a turbulent year if I am to be very honest. I have felt emotions on bi-polar waves and at some point, it felt as though, I was losing my mind. I have also seen myself manifest in the hardness and the softest depths of existence. I have seen myself pay a visit to the therapist when my self-love

Freewill and Choices

I originally intended for this article to be dropped on the 1st of August, but I am too overwhelmed not to share this joy that I feel. First things first, God is real. I say that because in my search and quest to understand the supreme being, I am met with mind-blowing revelations. Talking about the subject matter steamed out

Twenty Six on the Sixth of the Sixth Month

5 whole ass years. What a journey! Five years ago, I was a young teenager who still had a sizable amount of self-esteem but grew to see the coming years eat it away. Well, thanks to depression. Whenever I feel like sharing about my journey, I almost feel like I am crying victim and so, I sometimes just recoil into

Honestly, what an amazing time. Today, I’m feeling really high in my spirits that I’m going to channel the energy into this post. I chose
