Heart Unbroken

  “I will always love and cherish you forever.” He said expressing his love for me. “So what else am I looking for when I have you? Your type is rare and it is of no use waiting for so long to settle down with you.” He stared deeply into my eyes. I looked him in the eyes, lost at the words and sincerity in his eyes. I had finally found him, the bone of my bones and the flesh of my flesh. My stomach rumbled in excitement. “I love you.” I finally muttered. It felt so real. I have never been so sure than now. “Yes, this is it” I screamed within. God had finally wiped all the pains of bad relationships and finally I got the one. A loud knock at the door jolted me out of my thoughts, I wiped my tears and quickly made for the door. “Sorry o, Tolu. I know it’s early in the morning but NEPA came yesterday when you don go work. They scatter ground no be small. So, we don dey collect NEPA bills now, because if we wait till the end of the month, dem fit just cut o...

Draw the lessons!

Finally 2020 is here! Your prayers have been answered. Your yearning for a new decade to wash away the dirts of the past have been granted. Goodbye to 2019 and kisses to the new decade! The worries have so much engulfed you, and you are happy to be dropping it away with 2019. You cannot face it, you can't deal with the pain. The bad decisions have caused you a whole lot and you needed to dispose it in order to draw up new beginnings. Thus, you yearn to quickly come out of the mess created by bad decisions and be 'new' again in 2020. But is that the solution? Issues not properly dealt with will resurface and when it does, do you long for another year to bury the hatches? if you don't take learnings from those bad decisions made, you might end up remaking it. If you don't face your fears, it will end up haunting you. Remember that some "mistakes" are learnings in itself and an eye opener to what we may have been blind to. Don...

So How Is This A Thing?

I am really overwhelmed with work at the moment, if you would ask me, I’d rather prefer to grab a chair, rest my back and record my thoughts on a smartphone. Maybe even upload a podcast, because anything other than that seems like work all over again. I just want to get away from work. It’s December and man gats to chill, I know you understand what I’m talking about. Nonetheless, it brings me utmost joy to bring you fresh gist from an insightful standpoint. So, I have been thinking of different activities and the best way to fill you in on these activities. One of those is the event that happened over the weekend in Nigeria. Imagine its your wedding day- the most anticipated day in your life and after several plans and investments you have put into it, a gorgeous looking lady walks right into the church and became the center of focus. To make matters worse, imagine everyone forgets you are the bride and focuses on her. What would you do? I bet some of y...

The Love of My Life

“Will you Femi, take Maria as your lawful wedded wife to cherish in sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer, till death do you part?” “Yes I do.” Smiling sheepishly looking at Femi, my boyfriend of two years who is now my husband. I held him with my strength as if assuring him that the future is beautiful for us. He leaned over and kissed me. “I love you Maria. I love you so much.” “I love you too Femi.” I replied. “I promise to love and cherish you forever. Thanks for accepting to be mine.” He said with tears in his eyes. And yes I will cherish Femi with all my heart. I had prayed and waited on God for a future partner and Femi came my way, a knight in shining armour. “I will cherish you too and I promise to love you and honor you as my husband.” I whispered, tears falling down my eyes as I looked at the love of my life, wiping his tears away with his white handkerchief. FIVE YEARS LATER “Femi, are you fine?” I held the hands ...
