The Revelation.

-

That Saturday morning, I walked into the coffee shop I have always visited for over some months now, wearing a very beautiful body con red dress with a slit by the side, I had my natural hair styled beautifully and wore very light make-up and a fancy shade on.

"Hey, the usual?" I requested from the barista, and I noticed how he looked oblivious to who I was. "That's funny, but welcome in! What can I get for you?" His response left me gobsmacked.

I shrugged and paused for a moment why he couldn't remember who I was, I mean I have always visited this same coffee shop for over three months now ever since I moved in here.

"Give me a Cappuccino", I responded coldly, as I walked to take a seat.

In less than ten minutes Barista Mike had brought me my order, I was left in two minds if he was a twin, to be sure I called him by his name "Mike", he turned in a bit and then I was convinced that it was the same barista whom I have gotten to know." You mean you don't know who I am?", I watched how he was still trying to figure out who I was, "No ma'am, Do you know me from somewhere?"

"Wow!", I exclaimed, "did I change that much?" I soliloquized, "Okay never mind." I managed to utter.

I wanted to be sure why Barista couldn't recognise me anymore, so I rushed back home, changed my outfit and wore my usual Baggy Jeans, a T-shirt and a Hoodie, I walked right into the store for the second time that day and then I requested for the usual again, Barista Mike was all smiles as he welcomed me in and gave me my usual.

"But I came in this morning and you couldn't recognize me?" I demanded from him. "Really? I am not sure I've seen you today except now." He replied almost immediately.

"I was the lady in red who came here this morning, how come you couldn't figure out who I was?" I fixed my gaze on him wanting answers to my questions. "Really? You looked so different, I had never seen you in a dress before, you are always in tomboy outfits and I had never seen you wearing make-up looking so feminine, I think that was why I couldn't figure out who you were!"

"Oh!", I busted into laughter, " I get it now, I am always in my tomboy outfit, hmm"

"Yeah, you get it now, I mean I could bet with my last cash that, that wasn't you earlier today, but by the way you looked so fine and classy." He flattered me.

"I was going on a date, so I decided to stop by and take my favourite tried and true coffee before hitting the road." I smiled.

"Maybe you should wear more dresses, they look so good on you, You have a great physique by the way, I wonder why you prefer to wear tomboy outfits." He requested.

"That's my signature in the hood. I hope you don't mistake me for someone else when next I try to change my style hehe." We both smiled and then I left the coffee shop feeling fulfilled.

A Beautiful Heritage

Pinterest The waist beads are known as "Mgbájí" in the centralized Igbo dialect while another part of the Igbo calls it various names like "Ukwueleke", "Akaraukwu" or "Jigida" This is my beautiful and prominent heritage because I hail from a part of the Igbo land. "Imo state" to be precise. That waist bead is a very beautiful and essential ornament that is made of cowries or very expensive beads using a fishing line or a string to join them together. It is usually worn to beautify a woman's waist, which makes her attractive to the opposite sex and looks more feminine. The waist beads denote royalty, femininity, and fertility in my tribe. My mom told me how this waist bead is an essential part of our culture and a maiden attire on the day of her traditional marriage, known as"Igba Nkwu". No bride ever joked with this waist bead as her attire is never complete without the waist beads. Any man who seeks her hands for marriage...

It was on the 28th of October, 2022 at exactly 12:30 am, Debbie woke up that midnight feeling unhappy.  Source It was her 28th birthday, and unlike other birthdays this one was different, she felt like a loser simply because she felt she wasn't doing enough and today is another reminder that she was getting older, most of her mates were married with kids, and others work in a very big firm and living the lives of their dreams. The Birthday depression is knocking at her door. Debbie couldn't help but lay low in her bed to cry her eyes out, immediately her phone buzzed, it was a message from Jane her friend. "Hey Debbie, I've been trying to reach you since, how are you doing? Michael has proposed, babe we have a wedding to plan, please beep me as soon as you see this." She stared at the message for about 2 minutes, with tears rolling down her cheeks. "Wow, congrats", she managed to reply, she immediately turn off her phone and began to question her God, ...

This article is not about Amanita Muscaria, but as you read further you'd understand the need for the comparison. According to the  oxford language dictionary , toxicity means the quality of being very harmful or unpleasant in a pervasive or insidious way. Are humans toxic? Yes! Plants or fungi aren't the only toxic living things in the world, humans can be toxic too. What are toxic traits?
