    Why is it this way?

    I learnt from my very first post in 2021 that most people like to start their new year on a low note, so I don’t intend to disrupt this flow for the majority of you today. Instead, I guess I’ll just have a brief conversation with you all. I guess, you’ll be wondering how I arrived at my deduction above? Lol, well, I kind of monitored the trend last year and to say the truth, I lashed out at me for being too hasty and rather insensitive. Guess what though? When I raised the same topic later on that year,…

    Be happy everyday.

    Thank you for being a part of my 2021 and I look forward to being with you in 2022. Just knowing that you all made up my network of friends whom I discussed with at the end of each week, thrilled me. The same way our faces differ is also the same way our issues differ. Nonetheless, I hope and pray that your new year – 2022 gives you good health, joy, blessings and answered prayers. May 2022 leave a lasting smile on your faces such that every time you recount, you have hope whatever your situation. God bless you…

    ..and I silently nursed my wounds.

    If you recall, I’d stated I’d take a look at some of the situations people grappled with, during the course of the lockdown, in an undefined order.  A closer look at those living in yards with nosy, temperamental neighbors, constantly in their faces, enduring their sneers or attitude, because of only one access to amenities such as borehole water, is quite a lot to take in also.  As I write, I recall watching a video that circulated on social media, which one may term as a classic example of a neighborly relationship gone sour. To summarize, two neighbors had an…

    Half full OR Half empty?

    It won’t be such a bad idea to share something absurd today. Although, you may have to guess if it’s true-life or fictitious. Kindly term it as some of the multifarious problems one could encounter when they venture into life as a young adult. Before I begin, I’d like to say that sometimes there are two ways of viewing issues. Either one chooses to see their problems as a glass that’s “half full” OR a glass, that’s “half empty”. So here we go. When she ventured into world all alone, the experience to her was somewhat thrilling. Why? funds seemed to…

    You’re not helpless.

    I was waiting to fully grasp my line of thought and to know what angle I meant to veer towards today. The various situations I aforementioned seemed to be the best angle, so I decided to intricately look at all, although, I don’t intend to follow their defined their order.  A brief look at the last two scenarios that certain individuals seemed to be grappling with in my previous post – (those who seemed to be all alone with no form of assistance….and; others who dealt with epileptic power situations and cost of fueling generators…). One issue may be seen…

    I’m me and you’re you.

    I don’t do things the usual way, I like to defy the norm and do stuff differently. It’s not because everyone is towing a particular line of thought that I choose to tow mine. It’s not because everyone is speaking about a particular issue, that I do too. Yes, I understand that the year is basically winding down but please don’t expect me to start blogging in the usual manner because in my case, I’d like to change and veer off completely.  I stumbled on a post online, last year during the pandemic. It was a brief comment that seemed to…

    The fear of the unknown.

    What so wrong in being an open book for the whole world to see? What’s so wrong in being transparent? What’s wrong in letting your problems be like stepping stones for others to move on in life? This latter statement, (not in form of the question) had been my prayer for a very long time during my youth. Now I see that the prayer has finally caught up with me.  So many times as a young adult we mutter certain words in prayer, quite unknown to us the gravity of the statement. For me, I envisaged an easy process.. “Lord…

    My tête-à-tête.

    So I know I’m fond of dropping of social media and going into the back-scene but the actual fact is that on many occasions, periods of well inspired posts which one could term as “highs” is  sometimes followed by periods of being downcast or “lows”.  Why? I don’t seem to understand it myself. There are times when I could be going through what one may term as a rush of emotions when writing, such that the work turns out to be an inspired write. This could be accompanied by being low / downcast.  Right now, some of my other ideas…

    My ideal therapy.

    I guess you all in one way or the other may have experienced this activity which seems to be somewhat up-lifting. Let me explain.  On this particular day that I noticed I’d been indoors each weekend, it seemed as if the four-corners of each wall in my house was in my face. My reason for being indoors is one that I can’t remember. However, the fact that it had been reoccurring each weekend seemed a bit too much.  Thoughts kept prodding my mind to step out just for a drive, sadly I resisted. Eventually the deep prodding was accompanied by…
