It's hard to define yourself when you are a bunch of things. Scrap that, let me not over generalize; maybe some people have found it easy and have learnt the art of joggling between all of the things that they can do. I, on the other hand, haven't learnt that. I often find myself at crossroads defining who exactly I am. I listen...

Today has been such a day. I already had an idea for today's entry but I'm too tired to even think. Currently, I am a combination of tired, hungry and it's all making me angry. Why am I here then; why am I not dancing to the tune of my bed? Well, I'm trying to be a better person and be consistent even...

Love has to be my most common theme. I'm a love absorbed person 😁 Side note: Is that a real thing? I could just create it, right? A couple of weeks ago, I asked on FACEBOOK to get themes to write poems on and the first theme was "Love, Life, Art". These three things basically sum up a great percentage of my life and...

Hey lovelies!  Welcome back. If you're not really into reading, don't worry, you can just watch the video HERE. So, really, what's in a name? I don't really know about other parts of the world but I know that Africans are really big on names. When they name a child, it's not just something random, it's probably related to how the child was born...

I honestly have no explanation for why I've been gone for so long. It's been quite a mix of loss of interest and motivation with a bit of laziness. The last couple of months have felt different to me. I've been on some sort of journey; bits of which I'll share in coming posts. In the past days, weeks, I've had ideas pop...

I like to think that I am on some form of local anaesthesia; 2% Lidocaine injected in my soul because having to face the reality would kill me another round. They say, when the anaesthesia kicks in, first is analgesia, then comes excitement and then the anaesthesic effect. Here, I have been sitting in this wooden box waiting on the anaesthetic effect because...

I almost want to start off this post with a disclaimer saying that this is not directed at anybody specifically and that this just my thoughts and blah blah but ummm, I guess I already did that. Lately, I noticed that I have a bunch of friends on Facebook, most of which are 'creatives' and by creatives I mean that they are either...

I was in my house, in my space, all alone. I took solace in nurturing my heart, learning it's curves and edges, seeing it's beauty and flaws. Everything was perfect, well, sorta, it was the best I had ever felt. One of those days, I saw you out of the corner of my eye, I had barely turned but then you disappeared. Night...

Random fact about me: I am a sucker for love. Hello love!! Happy Valentine's Day. Love, love, love. Love is everywhere. Feel it! Breathe it! Experience it! Love is pretty much everywhere around you. Most of the time, you don't get too see the love around you because you're not exactly focused on that area. In one of my poems, I write, 'Love...

Hello there! Random fact about me: I cry, a lot. Over the last couple of days or should I rather say weeks, my heart has been heavy especially because of reports of two young people who have passed on. I didn't exactly have personal relationships with either of them, in fact, I only got to know about one of them because of the...

I was thinking of the 'perfect' introduction for this post and the only thing that kept popping in my head is 'will you keep quiet?' in mummy Patience's voice. This post is kind of like the summary for a series of posts I did on my Instagram. You're not following me, ah, don't be doing like that naw eh. Anyways, let me switch up my...
