Lets's Talk Marriage shall we?

Image
Observations has been made. That wouldn't be the basis of conclusions drawn, however we have searched for answers and in addition to that a better understanding that would strengthen longevity and happiness.  Marriage is one institution that we weren't really given a blueprint that we would apply once we get into it. The ones who have tried it has not been entirely honest with us as to what is obtainable. The older ones on the other hand has been honest, but their precepts are not one we would comfortably adopt. Times are changing and what's obtainable is also changing alongside highly intelligent humans who seek emancipation in an institution that was ordained for two people who ''should'' have agreed before hand to be made ONE without questions or conditions.  Marriage has been of importance to me and I seize every opportunity to discuss with married folks. Talking about marriage for me has just one goal: How would this institution gloriously ...

OVER SHOOTING YOUR SHOTS

Image
It was 2:45pm at work on that Thursday afternoon and I was already hungry. The yawning had increased and I was lucky to be the only one in my office. The usual companion of hunger came heavily upon me. At this point I was nodding and yawning at the same time. Very terrible combination for a babe like me. In other to save myself from any further embarrassment, I decided to play on the gram so I could send the sleep away. I lazily scrolled through my feed until I saw his picture.  I had scrolled pass, then my brain picked. I went back to take a critical look, to analyse the hot stuff I saw. Tall, nice smile and his native fitted perfectly. I could imagine his butt frame clinging perfectly to the fabric and exposing a well-rounded derrière. The next thing I know, I'm already on this guy’s page and clicking the like icon on all his pictures. The sleep had already gone and when I realized what I've done, I couldn't unlike. Feeling very insane and foolishly thirs...

THE FAÇADE OF PERFECTION

Image
What is this I hear? Mortals have chosen the easy way out instead of pulling through in strength. Who told them pain was erased for some and given to some as a companion?  Why have you allowed the beauty that is feigned by the world deceive you into making decisions that are brutal. I wish I could interview the ones who took their lives. What ‘’beautiful’’ reason would they give. I was hurt, life is hard, he broke my heart, I was scared, I tried everything and nothing worked.... They are all beautiful stupid reason because everyone faces those same issues. Why choose the easy way out coward? Death instead of battling the problem, is that the solution you seek?  Don’t you know strength exists within your cores and every muscle in you is fighting to live out to its full potential. What lessons has life thought you? What experiences have you gathered? Who told you hope was far-fetched? You were birthed in pains and tears of joy. Your mother pushed hard,...

DEEP CONVERSATIONS

Image
I love writing about Love. I'm a hopeless romantic.Much more importantly, my thoughts go so deep when I think about Love. It's my safe place when writing. I also love pain. I love to create a narration vividly described in exact details. Details that almost awaken emotions from a reader who is stoic. I'm intense, reasons why my mind is constantly engaged in conversations. I question the behaviours of men and ask what humans really need to be genuinely happy in life.  Series of events that take place during the day are completed in my dream, It seems like there is a never ending task to keep digging until solutions are found. Nothing is left unattended to. Conversations replay in my head for clarity and even after over a year of haven had a conversation, it regurgitates, just like a ruminant and I get answers I needed. Let's go back to second word I started with....LOVE. It's so interesting to talk about. How does the word make you feel? Think about it fo...

10 Habits To Imbibe In Your 20s.....

Image
Habits are very difficult to drop. If you however picked the right ones, you are sure to have an incredibly great life. I always imagined looking very beautiful, successful, fit and super gorgeous at 70. That mental picture made me adopt some habits that I knew would be a strong foundation for my goal. That being said, let's get right into it.  In your 20s, you are full of life (just like I am), and it's so easy to go with the flow and some times the ''Flow'' is detrimental to us. So slow down and look at the bigger picture. Do you want to enjoy the prime of your life and even age graciously? Then keep reading. Get very comfortable being you. It's very easy to lose your identity in your 20s. There are so many things everyone and everything want to complain about. There are so many norms and cultural misappropriation of things that this social media age has brought upon us. Most importantly you need to drown the world's voice and discover wh...

DEAR YOUNG BLACK GIRL

Image
Those ashy white legs you never cared about has become long and elegant. Admired by men, soft and the pain of sugar waxing makes you miss the days you bathed outside and never bothered who watched.  Needless to talk about the kinky textured hair that was an issue every Saturday. Mama pulled the hair into perfection, braiding the full hair into cornrows for school. You cried and hoped the hair should go away. Now the hair has become the new afro every lady wants to carry in all glory. Flaunting the fullness of the textured hair into styles that so many commend. Life's been good, maturity has set in. Expectations has increased and the ''MARRIAGE'' topic has never ceased on the lips of the elderly who has mistaken well-being for wedding. Let's take a walk down memory lane. I'l like to show you things that really matter and the things that never mattered As a child, you had opinions which were not informed by no one. You chose what to eat and ...

SCRAPS FROM A TRIUMPHED HEART

Image
Sunday: 12:45pm I was super excited when I saw you yesterday. My heart bubbled and I wanted to instantly reach out and kiss you, but I held back as I didn't know what was in your mind. I wish I could read minds. The night was dark and reading your eyes were impossible.  Monday: 3:48am Been thinking about you since 2am. Its 3:48am and I'd rather be awake than sleep. I shut my eyes and I see you, I'm awake and I can't keep you away from my mind. I wish we were together now, cuddled up and enjoying every ticking second that passes. Sometimes I appreciate the separation. It has helped me get in touch with the very vulnerable part of me that no one or even myself has ever met. It has opened up a whole new perspective of what LOVE means and it's reality.  3pm Thoughts (Same day) I sincerely apologise if I ever hurt you and I hope you forgive me. I should probably be telling you this but I can't. I loved you totally and I will never stop. Life ...
