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
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
I believe our imaginations are only as wide and opened as our minds are. There is also the message of love which over time has revealed its self as the global religion. Love one another as we love ourselves. Treat everyone with empathy. Put in one word – service. When I go online and find myself lost in a sea
This is a question I ask myself sometimes because if I am not drinking wine, I am either drinking African bitters. People say addiction is a means to escape, for me, I call it a mental distortion.

Fear of punishment, fear of rejection and above all, fear of judgment. As kids, it is the fear that limits a child from
Is innovation the death of us? Is knowledge a burden? Yes yes, I think so. I lost my family’s friend to brain tumor at the age of 30 last year. I experience the craziest headache if my phone screen isn’t dimmed to the lowest. My ears tingle the most because excess use of headphones. I fear for my life when
Most creatives have flexible time, some still on the journey of securing career capital but in all, we humans all need Time Out. I guess this is why we have the Sabbath day – for rest. We all need time out from family, friends, social media and social noise. Not insinuating that they are bad for us but intense reflection
It’s a new year. A new decade. Resolutions rolling out. New year’s blues and above all, the season of “reflection” I don’t plan to make this serious but I feel very serious (focused more like) writing about this. At first, I thought about how much “of a big deal” the new year was till a few minutes to 12 a.m.
Dear Santa, Would we say I was a good girl this year? This is definitely the first of many and my heart is truly full. For the longest of times, the season of Christmas has been a means for me to escape, party and all sorts of hedonism. But this year, this season, has been my calmest. Peaceful. Sanest. It’s
“Are your problems higher than the heavens or lower than the earth” he asked. Before we fell into what I’d call an “involuntary moment of silence“, I had mentioned to Muyiwa, who I now nicknamed Dirt Partner, that I was thankful for the distraction. Saying that adulthood sucks is more or less sounding like a broken record but it is
