I AM SORRY

A compilation of my growth in the last 6 months and my apology to everyone I misunderstood their pain. I am sorry when you told me about your relationship hurt, I said “man up, and move on” I really was insensitive every single time I rolled my eyes because a friend was crying or breaking…

2019 – Through a Pair of Glasses

PART 1 – A FRAME You had to attend crossover service in church on the 31st of December of every year as a child born into a Christian family. The plan is to pray your way into the new year and speak what you want the next 365 days to look like. (I think the…

DARE TO LOVE

My Instagram and twitter bio for the last three years has had the catchphrase “Life is short, to live is a choice”. If you are wondering why my bio has remained unchanged for three whole years, I have used a certain phone wallpaper for two straight years, my WhatsApp wallpaper only gets changed January every…

The Art Speaks Not to Me

I am not a lover of art works. I do not see the meanings you want me to see, the hidden mysteries and the deep words they supposedly speak. I appreciate the effort of the creator and the attempt to tell stories and emotions through pictures, expressions and lines. But art does not speak to…

Twenty – One

I turned 21 today. I cannot remember ever being this excited about growing older, and yet the cause of this innate happiness remains elusive. When I turned 18, I wrote  this in frustration, confusion and a lot of fear. Three years later, this girl is a lot closer to becoming. (if you are uncertain right…

Mistakes, Regrets, Heal – The Process

I have become more liberal than ever before. I am not sure whether this is just a phase or maybe I was never who I thought I was. I have broken a lot of principles and made various bad decisions over the last few months that I no longer recognize myself in the mirror. Oh,…

2018: A year of many blessings

You know you had a good year when at the end all you have are fond sweet memories of innumerable blessings to be grateful for. You spent the last few weeks praying more so you can at least smile and claim it was a year of spiritual growth. And when few weeks to an exam you weren’t ready for,…

The Hult and the Hurt

I woke up today knowing I would write. My team was pitching at the Hult prize competition in my University to select the finalists for the regional rounds. While this is merely my fourth competition in the last few months, it was something I wanted to document. The team name is Demeter and our idea was about agriculture. Out of 44 teams, we qualified amongst the top 12 who battled again for the top 3. We weren’t among the top 3. But this story is not about Hult and no, I was not hurt by Hult.

We Recreate, Because We’re Creators

My hand shook hard when he said "You'll lose everything on the hard drive". This was the real heart break. My heart literally broke into two and I could feel sorrow oozing out slowly from my arteries and disappointment spurting through my veins. It felt like I had just been informed of someone's death. Or that my result was out and I had dropped out of my grade class.

Nine Random Feelings

1. Hugging someone you love and being hugged tighter in return. The feeling of home in a person. 2. Staring through the window from the back seat of a bus and watching different persons walk by. You realize you're one of a billion people in existence and maybe no one, not even the Creator cares…

2017 – The Year of Learning and Relearning

Happy New Year beautiful people of LaLa Land. Yes, I know this is coming late as it is already nine days into the new year - I might have started this post a year ago and failed to complete it (these a year ago jokes really must stop lol) . I'd blame my upcoming school…

Things Fall Apart To Fall Into Place

This is a three in one article and it might be lengthy, kindly permit me. The fact that I have not written in a while is not because there was nothing to write about but because I have truly been busy. Very busy. (Ps: I started the birthday writeup on the 30th of October and…
