IS IT BY FORCE?



There's no amount of yelling that would stop me, I had made my decision and it was final. 

Kunle kept yelling at me, at some point the yelling became begging, as he relaxed a little. 

This was all so unplanned. I wasn't ready for such responsibility and I would not allow myself to be dragged into a phase I wasn't prepared for. Why does no one understand this? 

Kunle called my mother, reported me to her and told her that he had tried everything to make me change my mind and agree to his offer, but I was adamant. 

Even though he's my older brother, I don't have to obey him or listen to him and since mommy cannot come down to Nigeria in a matter of minutes, Kunle would not kill me till that happens. He loved me too much and that was exactly why I did not want to do what they wanted me to do. 

I just wanted to chill and learn a few more things, or just enjoy the AC and eat all the food his girlfriend cooks for us, why can't they understand that I just want to be a baby girl? 

Kunle yanked my arm and pulled me up from the couch I sat on, scaring me out of my deluluness. His grip was painful, he saw it in my eyes that he was hurting me, but he didn't stop. 

“Feyi, you and I are going there tomorrow to get this done once and for all. Have you heard me? “

He dropped my arm and walked out of the house.. 

I sat on the chair and shook violently in anger… “is it by force, ahh.. Must somebody write JAMB exam? “

Rain is my therapy

Image
  The Rain Means Different Things The downpour of rain means a lot to different people. To some, it's a promise of swamps and floods, of tears and fears. To others, it's a sign of fruitful harvests and bountiful prospects. And for some, it's the perfect excuse to be cozy and curled up indoors. But to me… Rain is my therapy. The feel of the cold breeze that precedes the rain sends happy chills through my body. The sound of raindrops on my roof is rhythmic to my ears—like the joyful drums of victory after a long, hard battle. So I step out into the blissful showers. Each drop reminds me that I am present, grounded in the now, becoming who I am meant to be. The rain washes away my pain and quiets my thoughts. It fills me with hope—that no matter how dry or barren life may seem, there is always a promise of rain... Of showers... Of cool. What does rain signify for you?

I WANT A COOKIE 🍪

Image
  Nothing prepared me for the screech sound that snapped me out of my daydreaming.  I realized that I was walking straight into an oncoming car and the driver had to screech to a halt to avoid crushing me to dust.  “Watch where you are going! You are lucky I wasn't on full speed, these young people”, she grunted as she drove off before she heard my muttered thanks.  I found a place to sit and breathe before continuing my routine daily walk. However this evening was different, I wasn't myself, it felt as though something had yanked out my soul, tied it around my neck and asked me if I wanted a cookie..  Ouu I could really use a cookie right now… arghh..   I shook my head and it brought me back to the present. I had gotten another rejection mail earlier today. It was getting really tiring and with each passing day I think I am slowly inching closer to fading away, because how was I to continue coping with the bills piling up and a stack of rejection emails?...

You Gotta Be Hungry

  You Gotta Be Hungry.  I've always been minimalistic.  No, let me rephrase that. I grew up believing that spending money on certain things were unnecessary, that money should be saved for important occasions or emergency, that expensive things were unnecessary luxury.  It shaped me into believing that I only deserved the bare minimum and that the urge to get something bigger was born out of discontent and greed.  Until recently I re-learned.  I re-learned that I am deserving of good things, even if they are expensive. I've always operated from a place of lack..  Saying that I couldn't get something because it was too expensive or i could do without it, and it came to pass, I never got them.  But now, I've learned to operate from a place of abundance. To speak what I want into existence. Declaring that I'm deserving of it, I want it, and work towards it.  Your mouth is the key to life and death. To lack and abundance. And when we stay in a pl...
