SCARS!

I have been someone with a lot of scars— the physical and not so physical, hehe. But hey! I’m NOT sorry about any. Even my Tee agrees, lol. However, I’d talk about two, because they resonate with this post. ****** Two years back, I had a small injury on my arm. It was really justContinueContinue reading “SCARS!”

CONTROL!

I don’t know why it has taken me this long to publish this particular post, but here it goes… At some point in my writing journey/career, I stopped being consistent. In fact, I stopped putting myself ‘out there’ for a really long time. And the few people who knew me as a writer then, hadContinueContinue reading “CONTROL!”

Achilles’ Heels

One story I love and still remember almost vividly from a literature class is that of the Achilles’. The myth of the Greek warrior, Achilles— as narrated by my lecturer— states that he was an exceptionally strong man.

I’ve always wondered how the whole issue of slavery worked. I mean, in most cases, the people being oppressed are more— in strength and in number. So, how can they then be overpowered? Remember the story in Exodus? The then Pharaoh literally complained over the fact that the Israelites were more in number and strength;ContinueContinue reading “Tame the brave!”

Source: Unsplash.com Okay, that’s a really weird title, and I realize that.🤭 But before you write off my titling skills— which I admit is not top-notch — pay attention to what I have to say…or write😁 ****** On a certain day, my mom mentioned she wanted to buy plantains (raw). Much later after the utterance,ContinueContinue reading “BUY THE PLANTAIN!”

MINDSETS

I love interacting with children. They are an interesting lot, everytime. Source: Unsplash.com On one day, I was talking with a little boy of about 3 years. In the midst of the conversation, he said something a three-year-old shouldn’t. And I’m not even talking about cussing, no. What he uttered was beyond just words; itContinueContinue reading “MINDSETS”

“…An expression of LOVE.”

This morning during family devotion, we had a little discourse on harmony— walking, working and talking together (as the book put it). I’d be letting you in a little on the chit chat we had, and of course, using my own words. ****** Harmony is an expression of love, the ability to co-habit and dwellContinueContinue reading ““…An expression of LOVE.””

RETURN!

I thought about a certain thing, all day today. And even more so, I thought of a story to relate it with, but it was not exactly forthcoming, until later… So here, here is a very common topic, with a popular background story. It may even be cliché, but I hope you don’t miss theContinueContinue reading “RETURN!”
