Let the record show that…







“Girls like this are rare these days” “Girls are too damn materialistic now” “Girls these days only want your money” Let the record show that we have heard;

Your Dear Male-Privilege, 

My sister has fought for you, defended you , nursed you and cried for you. Whenever the thought counts, she stands up for you and shields your child. My sister has been giving life and blood for you. 

 If I may now take the stand to defend my sister; my sister is the daughter of a woman sold her self short to build you; no? I guess that was eliminated from the record. Stood by you and your progeny…wait, you forgot? Cooked your meals, defended your honour. I guess that is not enough. Neither I nor my sister owe you a thing, least of all clamouring to meet your narcissistic standards or  your baseless double standards of moral. Most importantly , you may not speak on behalf of me or my sister to tell us what or who we are, tell that to your barber. I don't have to be a vessel for you to trust when you have refused to be my rock. My sister doesn't owe you a thing , nor her daughter . 

 So the next time you want to take to the world and troll at my sister and your daughter, ask yourself first; what have I done for this woman?

And there is nothing I could do . My mum said never to use the word "hate" . It's ugly and cheap and so absolute . So here is my unlearned lesson; that loyalty must be given to family . No ! Loyalty , respect and all that is wanted must be given to those that earned it .

How to: Make Rice

As per rice, before the jollof Wisdom is your grandmother telling you to soak it for an hour, "experience" is your mother telling you to 3 table spoons of oil per cup, innovation is you using butter to fry the soaked rice first.  You're welcome!

Space off.

  We all need space. Just enough to let us grow, but not too much that you feel forgotten and left out. S easy to succumb to the charm. pain holds you back, and every night you're on your knees same prayer, "Make me bigger, my voice heard, a better day tomorrow". Tough night, tomorrow is the same, same fake smiles...but you're honestly trying but the scariest thing is remembering, fragments and pieces of a painful past you were too young to remember or know better. fuck this, another day ill deal with this shit, but when. All I have to make is a single phone call, get it off my chest, tell them that i remember now everything that they did, and you know better, but you're not doing it just for that. its because you need to grow . because maybe, just maybe the pain will stop and you can trust again, maybe even feel beautiful and carefree like you once did...damn! thats a long shot , but its worth trying right? but i never do, so every day i dont, a small piece of ...
