Is he loving you baby like you do him ?  Because life told me so I need my left and my right hearts to beat together. a centre stable Is he with you or you grasping him ?  passion with arrogance Not that it matters, but I think of such things Especially when you call me at night  I want to say "where your lover dey?"  because I know say love sabi kill person for inside i no wan make you die for man But I con talk say "shey padi boy dey scatter your brain"  You lie, tell me yes.  Make you no die for man Abeg . 

"Education is simply the sum total of experiences"

Like the trees that grow on mountains Roots, pushing through layers Formed in hardships  Unplanted but libert- ain   Like the trees that grew on mountains With only faith secure You too, will grow out of this. Growth in pains, tears to water. Will colour a land plain  Like the trees that grew on mountains The ayah . You too, will heal. 

So I cant sleep once again. After I pray fajr I often struggle to go back to sleep . Today was no different , I could hear my husband rummaging around the kitchen at 5.40am and I went to him and said "I cant sleep..." he replied "have you tried closing your eyes?" (Please who wants a mildly used middle-aged man I'm not using?) Anyways it got me reflecting, what the hell is keeping me up? Here are the 10 things my mind is up to when it ought to be getting me some sleep : 1. Should I use Twitter a little bit ? No, the blue light will keep me up longer. Or is it UV light ? I should Google that. 2. Lol, imagine I am trapped on top of Kilimanjaro.  I wonder how it formed . Maybe there is a video on Yt about it. 3. Lmfaooo! (Recalls) when one fool tweeted it sucks being a baby , "imagine your foot is itching you and they're busying giving you milk". 4. I love baby slander. Them little crack heads  5. I am fully sure that...

You've gone so far from home.. Your mother doesn't feel familiar You've let your heart beat to the seductive tune of the invader All the while, Sitting on your father's grave . Orphaned in oppression, Singing values of valour, valour of your coloniser A lot like eulogies to your freedom.

The first time you kissed her , She swore she loved only you And would do so for the rest of her life. When you proposed to her, You believed the tears were of joy. For your love  Your faith grew. Love you never knew . And you grew to trust. In her gestures, her innocent moans Her snoring. You fell in love  And you never knew Or suspected A few years later , You would see her speak of love  Like she never did you, She had eyes only for him now You never knew She wrote about him , Like she never did you Did she ever love you like him ?  When you look in her eyes You never doubt she will die for him  She never did you... But it warms your heart  As much as it scares you  Because you know now  She loves this you And give away her life To this little part of you Forever That you gave her. To make her mother...

"It can never be me" Until it's you . Don't be that person.

I respect the opinions of lots of my close family and friends . But lately I have come to the conclusion that for me to live my life , I cannot let the fears of others hold me hostage. Especially in their own beliefs . We can be so similar but so different and it's important that you remember that when taking crucial decisions. I have always viewed my relationships , romantic ones, as a personal and private affair . So it's always been so sensitive for me to ask of anyone for any advice unless I'm near rock bottom. The reason why is simple ; projection and sentiments. People most often project themselves (and without much context) into your situation and work from there. The only context they have going is their own similar but not the same experience and subsequently inject their fears and reservations into your decisions through their counsel . Truthfully, you end up feeling uneasy about their conclusion yet so guilty if you do not accept their counsel if you had be...
