IN HER THOUGHTS

It been 2 weeks to be exact and had no idea of what to write next. A complete black out… These are rare but they often happen 2 x month and we must be ready. Do you mind? I applaud storytellers, any creatives and everyone who is holding it down. It takes a lot to piece together art, ideas or any entrepreneurial efforts. Guys. This changed my perspective and raised questions I hope you will help me answer. Okay, let’s dive right in it. No time to waste here. Whilst at it, let’s scare creative-block out of its gourd. Say it with me: Let the creative juices flow… You think this is weird, huh? Okay, okay I get it. Don’t mind me flexing for a minute I had missed writing. Well, I’m back and I feel like we need to talk through these things thoroughly, all in name of supporting creatives! If you think I’m going to talk about something else, click back or the x at the top of the page. Part one of my goal in storytelling = seeking lessons in every experience other than sulking, and di...

Yees! I was raised by a single mother. The journey is amazing but let's face it, the road was and (still is) winding, full of bumps and bruises. It takes stamina, perseverance  over the long haul. So to all single parents out there you're amazing! She wore armour with pride I remember it all, The stress, the tears, the long nights Joy, laughs, hugs and the love First widowed, then ousted It was sudden, very sudden Like a lonely star, She simmered into Universe depths With no familiarity, she – a single parent She was to be I remember it all No one had taught her How to master her ordeal She had to deal with the cards The best way she could She made mourning, her motivation Broken look amazing & She looked indomitable I remember it all Through the mourning and lonely nights All resemblances of her husband slowly faded The burden of making decisions was on her, Solving all manners of problems She yearned to utter t...

I finally found the courage to pen my  driver's licence journey, I was skeptical about posting it, but anyway here it goes.  I finally have a driver's licence y'all! Congratulations to me, whoop whoop. I’m officially part of the club. A family of million drivers already behind the wheel. So long story short getting a driver’s license is one romanticized nightmare. After a long journey of procrastinating I finally decided to embark on the driver’s license road to stardom. I had never been behind the steering wheel, all I was accustomed to was the passenger’s seat (mother’s seat hahaha). So, this meant starting from ground 0 because I knew nothing (in John Snow’s voice) wink, wink! Finding an instructor was easy, I had a few names on my list. Through a friend, I was connected to Mr ‘Pooh bear’. You think the name is weird, huh? Well, it wasn't his real name I coined the name. But can you blame me, he had a protruding belly and I couldn’t help myself lik...

I feel it creeping up on me My soul quivered... Like sand bashes by the tide Darkness pursued Dining on the amicable & merciful Precious innocent soul Vulnerable untarnished pure Fallen prey to man of many faces Perfect capped teeth shrewd Butterflies turn to moth, In the drapery of her innocence Pale like a plain tissue, she was Transparent for everyone who cared to notice Small frailty – decrepit soul People soaked up their sorrows in her rectitude A bad caricature of life Blemishes of life and its vultures accumulated her Broken and sore have she become Waving profusely goodbye to virtuousness Life had turned her callous She slipped into her personal darkness

How can it be August already? How time flies. I hope you can squeeze all the goodness out of it and catch up on my past posts. It feels like you are always running a race you can never win right? So many things to do in such a short time. Did you get to do what you had planned out for the month of July? Whoops... tough question? Anywho, are you still going to do them? Whether yes or no, I thought to start this month with a New Month post. Whoop whoop! Nothing over the top or to scold you about  what you didn't get done. But, to create a conversation about how we ought to think, do and simple things we can actually achieve for ourselves without feeling guilty every month-end when we are introspecting. Let's sail the August boat ashore together!   When a new rolls in, we are already veering our focus. Everyone is excited. And yes, we start posting motivational quotes and messages to get us through the month. Fine, we widely celebrate the beginning bu...
