  • Keep the Faith

    Last week was all shades of “I don’t know”; one moment, I was like “, I gat this”, and the next moment I was like “, What am I doing” That was a summary of my last week. Anyway, Sunday, I woke up, and I told myself nothing would steal my joy or hope. I

  • Responsibility

    I woke up this morning tired, like all mornings for the last three months. The feeling of not wanting to get out of bed to start the morning, the wishing that the weekends were longer, the longing for more pillow hugging and cosy bed wrap. When I decide to get out of bed finally, I

  • Your Storms

  • Take that leap

    It is easier said than done, when I was younger, I felt out of place, I asked myself so many questions and I did not get any of them answered, that made me moody. I would wonder why I am not like my sister Efe or Rachael, why can’t I make friends easily, I often
