LET THEIR MEMORIES REST IN PEACE
January 18, 2020
This is me telling myself to let go of all the dead things in my life. When I speak of dead things I don’t mean it literally. Just simple things that do not play an active part in my life–people, things, memories, etc I consider myself a memory junkie. I love memories and the process … More LET THEIR MEMORIES REST IN PEACE
I NEED YOU TO LET ME GO
January 3, 2020
I need you to let me go Free me from slippery hope Say those words that need hearing. Free me from my passionate entanglement and lustful wishes Free me from your perfect smile and compromising silence Say those hurtful words and free me I need you to let me go Let go of you I … More I NEED YOU TO LET ME GO
WHAT WOULD YOU BE DOING IN 2020?
December 23, 2019
It’s a new year and as expected a lot of people are projecting their dreams, goals, and expectations into the new year. For some, 2020 is the year they finally achieve their book goal or be more intentional about the things in their life, or, like I am seeing frequently now on my timeline, 2020 … More WHAT WOULD YOU BE DOING IN 2020?
I LEAVE FOR A LIVING
November 26, 2017
I leave for a living…From situations, good or bad. From people, friends or foes. I’m a wandering spirit With an explorer’s heart And feet for adventure. I’m a free bird. I sing songs of love and lust in no particular order. I leave for a living. Nothing can tame my heart. I’m a raging bull. … More I LEAVE FOR A LIVING
MEMOIR: SUMMER FRIENDS DON’T STAY
November 13, 2017
I had a best friend, at age five, named Mishu (I hope I spelt that correctly), then we were still living in cote d’Ivoire. He was older than me, boyish charm, skinny, much like I am now. I can’t quite remember his facial features, but I do remember he had this striking innocent smile. Often … More MEMOIR: SUMMER FRIENDS DON’T STAY
WHAT IF IT NEVER GETS BETTER?
November 9, 2017
I spent most of my late teenage years reading a lot of motivational books. I worked in a bookstore, so it was easy to access for me. The world of possibilities was fascinating, I absorbed it all into my being. I learnt a lot during my time there. One of many such lessons I learnt … More WHAT IF IT NEVER GETS BETTER?
ANXIETY: THE DEVIL’S WHISPER
September 27, 2017
Lately, I’ve been on edge for many reasons. I might want to attribute this to the fact that I’m graduating soon, and the thought of what awaits me, in terms of opportunities, which are relatively scarce, coupled with the fact that I don’t have one godfather/mother somewhere who is going to call the shots for … More ANXIETY: THE DEVIL’S WHISPER
WE ARE ALL IN SOME MESS
September 18, 2017
“We are all in some mess .”At some point this year I decided I was going to stop writing articles. One of the reasons being that I haven’t figured everything out myself, and will never, but here I am telling(you) what to do or not do. There is this pressure, or should I say expectation … More WE ARE ALL IN SOME MESS
MAYBE IT IS FATED
September 11, 2017
Maybe it’s just fate–things falling into place. Like life itself, so random yet precise. You never really seem to grasp but still, it never alludes you, it stays lurking like a shadow and vanishes when you seem to notice. The event of our lives aren’t so chanced to be as random as we deem them … More MAYBE IT IS FATED
