FLOOD

Hey guys,

This title came to mind, especially, during the recent heavy rain and flooding situation around Lagos. But, beyond the physical water gush, I thought about something similar to what I was seeing around but deeper. I enjoyed letting the words flow and after reading it, I loved it and knew it was great to share with you.
So, enjoy!

Flood
E don tey. No be today.
Since when does water gather like emotions, refusing to go?
The trauma, fear and pain still holds you back and feels daily like a fresh open wound.
But a dirt is a dirt.
Slaps, you are;
-useless, stupid, foolish, nothing.
Whether it’s hard like plastic or soft like nylon;
if not properly discarded would cause a problem.
It would always make the water gather and rise beyond what you thought you knew.
It would stir the emotions like a flood and,
God help you to stay alive.

You know what to do –
Perhaps you just need a push or lead.
You are important and brilliant.
The dirt of emotions have only temporarily covered your shine and boldness.
You are powerful and can sweep everyone and thing off their feet.
Clear your dirt.
Open your mind.
Free the channels of your heart and let the water of pure bliss flow.
You don’t want a bust – neither do we.
Make water no carry us go.

A clean environment is good and safe for the mind, body and soul.  Discard your wastes properly, clean your gutters and let’s all avoid a disaster.
If this message beyond environmental sanitation speaks more to your mental and emotional ‘well-being’, do the needful.
You are not alone. Avoid a flood!

Love & Light,
TA

For My G.Ma - Felicia

I never knew I would miss her this much. People never understood why I love Christmas. I didn’t quite get it too – apart   from the bursting joy of the birth of Christ, the melodious songs and beautiful decorations; there was more to the super hyper and lovey-dovey feeling I always have this season. So, I was scrolling through my phone gallery and saw the last photo I had with my G.Ma. Oh by the way, Christmas was her birth and death day. I’m writing this because of her. Just to share a bit of her awesomeness with you. That woman was a bad-ass! Reminiscing on my childhood memories with her, I realized she was the reason I love Christmas. I usually spent my Christmas and New-Year holidays with her as a child. She would take me to her church and ask the priest to allow me join other children in the Christmas carol rehearsals and performances. She would take me to the salon and have my hair done and accessorized. I hated making my hair, it was just too stressf...

Hello there!

Is it too late to say happy new year😥?! I mean, a quarter in the year 2021 is almost over, so I will let this mushy feeling slide, and let’s say I will pretend like I have been writing and written to you all these while.    Happy? Yes.    So, what have you been up to?  As for me, after the whole #EndSARS movement, I just literally had this block. In fact, I wrote a couple of things in my notebook but just couldn’t bring myself to sharing here.  I was beyond devastated, as many people – Nigerians were.    Anyways, before and since then, I was also doing a lot of thinking, studying, and preparing for a professional examination, which I wrote and passed in December, last year – yay!! Then, I have just been having ideas on a lot of things I would have loved to share with you but you know what they say about procrastination. Yea….got the best of this relationship!   I’m sorry.  Now, I hope to be more consistent – I know I have said that a mi...
