Tamara was surfing the internet when Facebook suggested a person she might know,  Add Daniels Joe as friends,  she clicked on his profile to see his profile info and as she scrolled through his profile, his profile picture caught her attention, there was seated a cute handsome man in an exoctic living room and at that moment she didn't hesitate to send him a friend request. "Woooshhh, why so fine?" She whispered beneath her breath as she stare in admiration. "It's not like I know him, but this dude is so fine," she smiled mischievously waiting for him to accept her friend request. It was taking forever for Daniels Joe to accept her friend request, so she logged off Facebook and headed to the kitchen to fix herself a quick meal as it was getting a bit dark. She brought out her frying pan from the cupboard, some raw eggs from the crate in the fridge, fresh tomatoes, pepper and some onions as she reached for her knife. "I think some fried eggs would just b

I am keen on learning from nature as some plants have taught me the true meaning of RESILIENCE. Sometimes good things comes from unexpected places and situations. Sometime ago, I tried to plant the African Basil (scent leaf) in my compound but they never grew, I did all within my power to ensure I had that plant in my compound. Their scent and the benefits of taking that plant endeared me to it, but when it refused to grow, I gradually began to lose interest in it. After a while, I noticed something started springing up from the ground when I had stopped paying attention, turns out to be the African Basil and I was excited. I heard they aren't water friendly, that means they die easily when the soil is very wet, so I was quite skeptical whether to wet them regularly or not, altogether I just ignored it and didn't really bother wetting it regularly since the land wasn't really a dry land in the first place. After some months, I noticed how they bloomed and grew fresher and g

Life is truly uncertain, Jade showed me a picture of this little fox who looked betrayed and abandoned,it laid quietly on a pumpkin, and the room looked so unkempt. "Why do you think it's looking sad?" Jade asked me and then I thought, "it trusted too much," I replied almost immediately because I could see the hand writing all over its face. "Who did it trust?" She further asked, maybe someone very close, someone it loved so much. Most times, we are often let down by people we love and adore so much and then we begin to wonder how and where did we go wrong? We try so hard to find closure but the only thing left with us are often fragments of our imagination of what the problem might be. It's often the people we feel safe around that hurt us the most and often the ones we are vulnerable to that takes advantage of us simply because we've given them so much power over us. I see a fox that has chosen to find solace in an empty and unkempt room, exa

Someone asked me,  "what are dreams?" For a moment, I paused and reflected.. Dreams mean different things to different people. But for all I know, they are more than a wild imagination.. I am aware that to some, It's a divine connection. A revelation.. Insight or inspiration.. A journey to critical thinking. But to me dreams are what fuel my soul.. A drive in pursuit of what mean the most to me. A powerful tool to cast my fears away.. A quest for more and a place to be bare. A place to be unstoppable.. A boost to my happiness.. The place where everything come alive.. A sneak peek to who I am, my goals and desires. Dreams are my power of reasoning.. A trip to self-discovery.. My fondest moment.. A place where I take charge. Dreams are a reminder that everything can be achievable.. If I set my heart to it. Deep connections and emotions.. Zeal, truth, drive and motivation. What are your dreams? Ready to chase them? Be unstoppable.. In connection to what set your soul on fire

Gratitude naturally open many doors of blessing, it pays to be a very grateful person. Gratitude is an act of acknowledging what we have and valuing it, it takes humility to be grateful. I have experienced in many ways how gratitude has made my life easier, people who have been a source of help to me in the past still find ways to be a source of aupport because I showed them how much I valued their act of kindness or hospitality and I have also made people who showed gratitude in the past happier. The truth is, every favor we gain is unmerited and most times some people have this feeling of entitlement, that they deserve everything coming their way. May I burst your bubbles? Life is full of surprises and only a grateful person can go farther in life. Life doesn't often go as planned but if you make room for losses and accept your limitations, then you're embracing life with the right attitude. It cost nothing to be grateful, just a sincere heart and a genuine smile can make all

"Ain't no such thing as a life that's better than yours!"  This has got to be the most inspiring thing I've heard in a long while. We really need to be told that almost every time, to keep us balanced as we journey through life. So today, I was on Spotify while carrying out my house chores when the "Love Yourz" Song popped in and damn, it hit differently. Everybody on ththe media seem to be doing well, they share their nicest pictures, show off their achievement, flaunt their families and friends, and all but if care is not taken, we will begin to think they have it all together. No one will ever post when they're having it rough and tough, so we are only seeing what they want to us to see but sadly, many people have allowed this one sided view distort the real picture. I saw a picture some months back about how life works, the job you hate, someone is wishing to have it, something the other person doesn't have, he's wishing to have it or be

Hello Music Lovers... What a blissful Tuesday it is over here, and I am sure you're having a great one over there too. It's another beautiful music day so let's enjoy.     . Learning is a continuous process and never stops until our last breath.. sometimes we just need to learn to be who we desire in others, or we learn to let people treat us the way we would loved to be treated, we learn to love ourselves as hard as we love others. Still learning - Halsey We all have insecurities we battle with, that no one knows about, but all in all, if we can be kind to ourselves and love ourselves despite it all we can empower ourselves to have a full control over our lives. We really need to stop living in oblivion or self-denial, being aware of our flaws can set us free and help us to accept who we are. Nobody's life is perfect and our little flaws makes us beautiful in our own way. We just have to learn to be our own kind of beautiful, that's why we just can't give out l

This night will usher in a new season, "Autumn is just by the corner," I mumbled as the last night of summer brought made me nostalgic and emotional. The night sky was still aglow with sun lingering to leave, I noticed the change in the air, and how the night was a bit chilly, I could perceive the scent of dry leaves, riped fruits and how the sounds of the chirping cricket filled the air. I sat quietly in my balcony reminiscing about the whole fun and adventures I embarked on during the early days of summer. More to that, the wealth of knowledge I had acquired from older family members. The one I loved the most was the one I spent with Grandpa Donald, such a wise, strong and vibrant man who taught me the value of time and what good friends stand for. "They stick by you in good times or bad times, Zainab who is your friend?" The voice from within echoed. I remember vividly how we took a stroll to Tamara resort that fateful day, the sun was out in all its glory painti

"We are responsible for what we say but we are not responsible for what people understand,"  ever heard a statement like that? The truth is, people will surely misunderstand our words and even our actions or intention, but what matter the most is that, whatever we are doing, we are doing with a clean heart. I believe in doing right by our conscience and leaving the things we have little or no control over. Well, some people might want to take it as a point of duty to always explain their actions and motive, but how many can you explain, and can you really explain to everyone? Will they all believe? You see why I do not try to get a grip on what I have no control over? Nina Simone - Misunderstood This is a very classic music I heard just a few days back and I enjoyed it, it is very relatable and i felt it from a different angle. The music itself speaks volume how much the singer yearned empathy and to be understood. it more like a country tune and the lyrics aligns with what m
