One of my morning rituals is surfing the internet for news; both local and foreign entertainment news. What I kept coming across on the net today was not really encouraging. From one break up to another, I just kept on reading. The scary thing was these relationships were ended after so many years together. The first I read about was …

It was Sunday school morning. The topic was preparing for marriage. Our youth teacher threw a question to the class – “if the day before your wedding you realize you and your partner are no longer compatible, what would you do?” My answer was short and simple. “I’ll call off the wedding.” She nodded in agreement. “In such a situation, …

I once wrote in one of my face book notes titled ‘my short and sharp’ – “physical pain and emotional pain, I don’t know which is easier to deal with but I do know it sucks dealing with both at the same time”. I also remember supporting a friend’s comment on that note that it’s much easier to deal with …

My garage serves as “storage” for things that don’t have a place in our home, and, frankly, there are times when I am astonished to open the door. I don’t want anyone to see the clutter. So, periodically, I set aside a workday to clean it up. Our hearts and minds are a lot like that- they accumulate lots of …

It was like an extended family where no one’s business was a private matter. They cared and looked out for each other. Right there at …

So the strike is over and gone with it is the forced house arrest. Work ought to have resumed yesterday, but I’m adding this week to the aborted strike action. It’s not as if I actually do anything meaningful at my place of primary assignment in the first instance, so I reasoned; why bother go when I could as well …

Here alone I lay on my bed, sad and blue. My joints hurt from the days work. Once again, I am here in my room. My roommate is fast asleep. I’m surrounded by these walls, walls that seem to be closing in on me. The room seems so small but yet feels very large. Deep in loneliness, I stare into …

The whole idea of relationship is for friendship, companionship, someone to hold on to when you are weak, having a shoulder to cry on. Seriously, the whole long distance ish kind of negates everything a relationship stands for. I really have to give it to those who are in long distance relationships and are making it work. If I love …

I remember hearing this line in the series One tree hill- ‘that two people love each don’t mean they must be together’. That’s a fact most people have failed to realize. Love really is not enough to keep a relationship or hold a marriage strong. Love at times makes us stupid to think that once two people are in love …
