Welcome to validation 101 Ever wonder why we look forward to people's compliments? I mean, there are days I go out looking fly, and somewhere in my mind, I'm hoping everyone notices and pays me compliments.  Weird or what? It's weird, isn't it? What's really crazy is when I start...

The sound of music drifting softly in the wind, each note with a life of its own narrating a story that only those with ears hear. The simple suggestion that there might be more, a deeper reality than that which you've walked; storytelling at it's finest, the whispers of spirit...

Do you ever feel alone? Not necessarily because there's no one around. But somehow in a space full of people, you can't help but feel lonely. Would it be cliche if I say sometimes I feel that way too?  via GIPHY   How it all began! For most of my...

Short Hair Or Not? The hair, I didn't love Do you ever wish you had a different hair type, or hair length, or hair color? Silly question, right? I mean, who doesn't? Well, maybe a few people don't. But a few months into my hair journey, I could kill for...

How God sees you We all struggle with the truth sometimes. I mean, there are those days when our circumstances are totally opposite from what God's word says about us. On those days, it could be hard to believe what God has spoken concerning us. I've had days when I...

Lol, what's this about? Do you ever feel desperate for love and attention? I do, and quite often. Never have I needed more love than now. And no, I'm not talking about finding bae or getting married this year.  Have you ever thought about how scary the whole idea of...

A Poem - Bound Like a badge, you clung on to your array of scars humbled by the fact that you'd been seemingly defeated, shocked that once again you'd fallen. You had prepared for this your whole life. Night and day standing bare before the mirror mesmerized by your charm...

I cannot go, and come, and kill myself Hope - full   I could be very imaginative; always stuck in my head plotting "My Perfect Life" (or at least that's what I thought). Planning boat rides, hunting escapades, runaway relationships, coups, lunch, vacation with the kids. I'm sure you get...

The very beginning of the wait Ever since I could remember, I always wanted a friend. No, I'm not trying to be mushy, I am going somewhere with this. My "want" of course evolved, and soon enough it wasn't just a friend I wanted. I wanted my very own designer...

So, what happened? I've been on a break for too long, I know! I didn't plan to, but I sure needed it. My goal for starting this blog was to create stories I loved. But I began writing for the sake of writing. You know the way you write when...

Mindset - Deep Talk There's so, so much to write. I'm sorry I'm all over the place. I pray God opens the eyes of your understanding. I like to talk a lot; typing isn't as fun, but here I am. Do you know what's funny? Most of my life I kept...

Lol. Don't judge me. Since I was little, I always wanted to control things, maybe walk on water or even move mountains. You know make it rain when I wanted it to, make NEPA or PHCN supply power when I fancied, and stuff like that. In nursery school, my teacher...

A poem. PUPPETEERED All your life you've always needed to take permission to be, seeking validation from those whose praises you longed for, ensnared by your desire to be loved.  These unwholesome desires became your strings attaching you to the will of mortals, binding you to your puppeteers every whim....

Hi To be honest, I didn't want to start this section of my blog until I had perfected my drawing skills. I was hoping to make very short comic strips, rather than typing a whole bunch of stuff. I figured that I could always do both. Maybe I'd create the...

What's this about? So, I know how hard it can be finding the right place in Lagos to hang out. I mean, finding a comprehensive list of affordable hangout spots is hard work. So, out of my benevolence, I have decided to work on a list of recommendable sites in Lagos...

Hey there! If this is your first visit to my blog, I'm thrilled to have you here. If it's not, I'm super glad you're back (and you may want to skip this part). This is a post that contains just enough information to help you plan an outing at La...

Okay, What is this about? If this is your first visit to my blog, I'm thrilled to have you here. If it's not, I'm super glad you're back (and you may want to skip this part). This is a post that contains just enough information to help you plan an...

Walls I know how it feels to look in the mirror bare-faced and stare into the eyes of a stranger, someone so familiar yet different. To stare into the eyes of the person you once used to be before you became discontent; before you doubted that you could be; before...

The history I'm sure you already have a clue about what it was. Throughout my hair journey, my worst day was my detangling hair day. It marked the day my arms grew tired and weary from trying to remove knots caused by the notorious hair strands on my head. When...

The very beginning Most times when I tell people I live in Jos (Jos is the capital of Plateau State in Nigeria, quite famous for insurgency), there are a series of reactions I get. Regardless of who's asking, the response is always so similar. Firstly, their faces usually end up...
