Reflections

“In fact writing this now, I realize I was the devil. People began asking questions and I didn’t care. I had the girl and that was all that mattered.” Most of us born in the 80’s should know this popular Dolly Parton’s song. “Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene… Please don’t take him just because you can…” Well, something happened recently and …

Currently having on of those sad moments when I can’t really say what’s making me sad but yet I feel like crying… For once I am not in control and it’s really annoying and scary in a way. These past two months have been so hard for me. I hurt myself hoping, believing and trusting…I was crushed terribly and brought …

In as much as I really didn’t feel like writing this, I just had to complete the mini series. Well after monday things changed. I began to miss music and crave for my rock songs. I held on strong and kept on with the no music for the week decision. I was strong emotionally and I did not feeling down …

It’s monday morning. I feel okay, actually a lilltle too okay for comfort. There isn’t going to be music this week. In as much as it seems like mission impossible I am hoping to go through with it successfuly. I am curious to know exactly how I will be after a week without depressing rock songs.

I loved you and I was ready to give you my all but I guess it just was not enough. We have all the very right reasons not to be. Normally I would walk away but I chose to stay and turn off my feelings hoping we’d turn out the very best of friends. But right now, where we are, …

Fresh out of secondary school and straight into the university courtesy the then newly introduced post jamb test. We were the first set of students to be admitted via such test. I came into school, registered and it was time for studies. Like most ambitious fresh students I had my eyes on the top prize; graduating with a first class. …

They keep saying ‘you are not the one going through the worst situation’. Who then is? I ask if that’s told to every single soul on earth. I want to know who is going through the worst situation, not like I really want to know. I’m hurting and my situation is peculiar to me. So allow me to hurt and …

Friday the 8th day of the month of July 2011 will forever go down as one of my most memorable days in camp. For the very first time I felt like a corper even though it was a day after the swearing in ceremony and four days after I arrived camp. It was indeed a big relief when I read in …
