Reflections

The month of March…been an awkward month sort of. Nothing out of the ordinary tho, just that each week had it’s own particular ‘weird’ experience, mostly relating to work. Well, 90% of my time each day is spent at work so my life basically is about work except on Sundays. Can’t say same about Saturdays sadly, I have spent most …

I’m just going to post it. No need for long story. I have been paid back in my own coins. I got cheated on by someone I love dearly, and guess what? I was cheated by my boo with a friend of mine! Yep…same love triangle story, only this time I am the one who got cheated on. It stings …

Dear Blog, Why are my things always complicated? Why is it that the times I have felt so in love and really wanted to give a relationship a try (even though its not normally my thing), my crush all had to be in a relationship, but yet it’s me they wanted to be with? Or distance was there to ruin …

First things first, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!! Ok. I don’t really like birthdays that much. For one, the attention on you that day can be so overwhelming. I am very shy and I naturally hate phone calls. You should see me get so shy over the phone, I’d just be mumbling words like a teenager talking to le crush. That’s …

Day: Monday November 24, 2014 Time: 1:30pm Location: Iyaro junction, Benin City The sun rays spat at my skin through the windscreen. The passengers of the bus beside my car were most likely dozing off because of my music. Someone once said my kind of songs are burial songs, slow, melancholic and sleep inducing. I didn’t care what they’ll be …

Some months ago, Einstein and I were having a conversation about how if it were possible, we won’t work. The idea around the conversation was to live a quiet life and be at peace. Then I said let the word even come to an end quickly so someone can rest from the crazy hustling of life. Einstein responded, saying ‘for …

Patterns, walking in circles…. I think I am at that phase of my life where I push people away. I recently posted this on facebook one evening when I was having a moment reflecting – “Pushing people away comes naturally….something I just can’t explain neither do I know why”. Honestly I can’t fight it anymore or try to understand it. …

I feel like I need to take stock of my life. Feels like things are moving, no spinning out of control and I am powerless. I know I have issues, or like Dr. Owen once said, maybe my issues have me, but this place where I am right now…I really don’t know. I need to relax somewhere quiet, somewhere sane …

Finally you have all you’ve longed for and things are beginning to make sense after a tough period. Career wise, things are looking better. Financially, you are in a comfortable place. Generally, you feel successful and on the right track. You are grateful for where you are now. Then it suddenly hits you – there’s really no one to share …

So last week like every other week started with a promise. But by Wednesday I wished the week never started. By Wednesday morning a little war began at work. Then another came up – my very good friend in the office was missing. His wife said he didn’t get home the previous night. Her last sentence on the phone in …
