Embarrassment
Slow to Anger
One argument. One Slap. One phone call. A multitude of consequences. Back then, I had developed a habit of drinking everyday--definitely not good for my health, in so many ways. Alcohol and mental health issues DO NOT MIX. If you were to ask me why I had started drinking, I would not have had an answer for you. All I know is that drinking helped me escape the existence of my mundane, void-filled life. I was alone. Men related to me on strictly a physical level. They didn't stay and I thought it was because something was wrong with me. I had no job--I was on a fixed income, and although we had everything we needed, the funds to do the things we wanted to do were few and far between. I was a single mother. My son, who had always been close to me, was now a young man about to graduate high school and go to college. He would be leaving me and that saddened and terrified me. Being a mother was my greatest accomplishment; for the last 17 years, I had been nothing else. Looking back, I was not merely unhappy; I was ungrateful. Maybe that was why karma would have its way with me--in order to teach me to appreciate everything and to take nothing or no one for granted.

Fading away.
I’ve been told I am strong and unbreakable but in reality I’m a fragile. I’ve given my heart to many people who time after time have broken off a piece to feed off of. I wonder how much is even left. I love like it’s my last day on this earth and yet somehow I wake up every morning in sadness.

Love is never enough
Growing up I have always been sheltered, the third of four children. Some even ask if I was the only girl or last born but no that’s not why, apparently things got a bit better for my parents after I was born which in Nigeria is a sign of goodluck.

RAIN AFTER RAIN
"Hey Vic!" That was Kunle hailing me as I entered into the Confrence hall of Dynamo Hotel and Suite, where my set were having our first ever reunion. Just like everyone else in the building, I was gay with happiness. You wouldn't blame us though as its been over 12 years since majority of us last saw ourselves. Here we are today all almost made for life, save for me actually. I guess life has always had a reason to single me out to be unfortunate.

Growing Stronger
I woke up to a bright and sunny morning and felt a knot in my stomach. I was crushed at that point because it was the day of my final exams for the year. I'd been depressed for a few weeks, and the thought of failing my exams only made me feel more stressed. Hoping for the best and dreading the worst, I dressed, ate breakfast, and headed to school.
