Life Hasn’t Changed; I Just Got Older

I’ve recently come to realise that maturity doesn’t occur suddenly. People just don’t turn a certain age and become mature. Rather, maturity is a process; it takes time. And more often than not, the realisation of maturity is sudden. However, when the individual thinks back, they are able to see, even if vaguely, the many…

Take it slow | Poem

I wish I could turn back the clock Turn back the clock to yesterday Yesterday when you were still here When the sky was still blue When the sun was mild Yesterday when laughter filled the air When the breeze brought good news When smiling wasn’t such a chore.     I wish I could…

Extra Luggage

I was packing for trip recently and right now I can confidently say it was the worst packing I've ever had to do. I mean, why couldn't the scale just show the right weight😢? It was frustrating, annoying, tiring and mentally tasking to say the least. I had to take intentional breaks to clear my…

Double Standards

I was on the bus on my way home after a normal day at work. As usual my ears were plugged, tuned to Carrie underwood at good volume so that I may possibly survive the unnecessarily long ride, terrible driving and the thousands and one abuses that are bound to fly out of car windows…

When You Want To But It’s Difficult

A post by Debby on her blog spoke to me on levels I doubt she understood Whether you’re struggling with an addiction, a behaviour strait, a dangerous habit, depression, whatever it is; know this, you are not alone.

It’s Been a Minute

I really apologise for my inconsistency the last two weeks. Everything's just been happening fast around here. I've written a couple of posts for the blog but I haven't just been able to set out time to edit and post them. So many new things coming. Isn't it funny how we could both love and…

Donate Blood… Just not on Roads

There’s something which has really been worrying me lately. Why do parents drive with their little kids in the front seat or in the back, unstrapped and allow them to perch between the two front seats? I know for a fact that I cannot be the only one thinking about this. But it has got…

Another Birthday 😁

Anyone who thinks that they are too small to make a difference has never tried to fall asleep with a mosquito in the room. - Christine Todd Whitman It was my birthday recently. I recently ended yet another 365 days around the sun. Yay! Glory to God! It’s amazing and a reason to be absolutely…

We Need To Get Angry

Anybody can become angry - that is easy, but to be angry with the right person and to the right degree and at the right time and for the right purpose, and in the right way - that is not within everybody's power and is not easy. - Aristotle It seems to me that the…

When You Have a Voice – Use it!

So I was all set to write an ode to the Nigerian super eagles* but then, a discussion in my office made me reconsider. See, I wanted to write the ode because the super eagles were super! They went down fighting. They came out with their heads up. They played a good match and even…
