Grief!

It’s been a couple of months and it seemed like I had almost completely forgotten what that feeling was - grief.

The first two months of the year were a hit that hurts. The loss of two loved ones - people I had beautiful childhood memories of and with.  People whose memories may never fade away, because somehow, I will always remember - there will be something, someday, some date that will make me remember.

I remember not knowing how to cry or mourn - my heart was too tired even though it hurt, badly. I just didn’t know how, anymore.

This night as I lay in my bed, in the dark, and thinking about random things. Things that made me smile, it’s 11:19pm and my mind keeps wandering like a lost child in the forest - okay, I tried sounding poetic there.

The point is, I just couldn’t sleep – my mind wandered into hidden memories from last month and the month before. Then, suddenly my heart and eyes starts to swell and I start to cry, again.

Then I remember that I will never see them again. I am looking for how to end this on a warm note but I don’t know how. So, I will leave it just as it is - as my heart feels right now.

I know, sleep will eventually come and I will wake up refreshed by morning, thankful for a new day - for those of us, living and breathing.

That in itself is a gift and it makes me smile. Oh, you see, somehow my heart and fingers have found a warm ground to end this.

Love always,

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...
