People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that’s bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they are afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to …
The Curse Called Love
Out of sight they say is out of mind. This can be understood from two different views but I go with the understanding that says when you are apart from someone you gradually forget them. Sometimes you wonder how it is that you feel so strongly about one particular person and you just can’t seem to shake off the feeling. …
PHASES
‘Life is not what I thought it was twenty-four hours ago’ – Switchfoot (twenty four). Few months ago I felt low. I kept telling myself – ‘this isn’t where I ought to be’. I was surrounded by everything I felt I didn’t need. There was a change in the kind of persons I normally communicate with. I had time on …
FOR HER…
In life, there are joys, there are pains And everything in-between There are times when everything seems to fall in place And times when nothing adds up Confused, miserable, down and torn I gaze into the haze My heart wrings No one knows unerringly just how I feel Alone in this world Forced to endure it all I try to …
MY BOSS’ WIFE
It’s with shame and regre I write this story. I got exactly what I deserved. I played with fire and I got burnt. Luckily for me, I would be discharged from the hospital by the weekend.

Still marking the first anniversary of my passing out from the National Youth Service Corps, here’s another note I wrote long ago about the awkward things that happened to me during my service year. Enjoy! It was one awkward or weird experience to another throughout my NYSC year. It was as if the one week of horror in camp wasn’t …
DRAMA AT WORK (The day my heart skipped a beat)
It’s exactly a year today I passed out from the National Youths Service Corps. To mark the first anniversary I have decided to share this note I wrote a long time ago. I never really had the perfect moment to share this thrilling experience of mine. Guess I have finally found the perfect moment. ENJOY! It was my first field …
Death and all his friends…
Such rude shock! Seeing her personal message on blackberry messenger with the words ‘R.I.P’…I enlarged the display picture and behold…it was a secondary school mate. Another UDSS ’05 fallen hero. Life as we know is vanity. We are here today, gone tomorrow like the wind. I remember reading a tweet last year which said ‘when someone dies, the rest of …
How did I get here?/ My Confession/ Rantings
I am officially scared of myself! So the third one just left and I feel so apathetic about the ‘loss’…I once wrote about not feeling bad when people leave because I have gradually gotten used to the idea that people always leave…but now I think I am fast becoming soulless. Watching people leave and not even feeling bad or bothered. …
