You are the deal.

You are the deal.

The real shit. 

You.

In dark and fair. Tall and white. Limping and walking. Talking and dumb. Whole and unwhole


You are who you say are. 

You are what you believe you are. 

Maka Onye kwe, chi ye ekwe. 


Why then let people turn you around, toss you about, up and down, right and left, back and forth,

efe gi akwa! 


Why let the mere words of a human like you, 

Birthed from the same canal as everyone else,

Cause you live miserably for life,

Onyedi ka ha bu!


Esi be fa eje be Onye? 


What is the worst they can do? 

Talk? 

Na today we start to dey talk? 


Nwanne, ife di oku ga-emachakwanu oyi. 


You no get A no mean say your life don kpai!

Because you fit C and you fit get Z,

All get na get.

It's in the little things. The way you ask "are you well?"  With the look of concern on your face When my face seem clouded with worry.  The way you reach out to catch me, And look into my face without saying a word, When I misplace my step and want to fall.  The way you hold me, Gently on the shoulders to say, "Kedu?"  When I give you a soft nudge  On your chest or tummy, As a way of greeting.  Ayee, It's in all the little nothings that are bigger all things. It's in the way you care.  The way you listen.  And even though I won't deny that sometimes  I do want to kiss you,  I think that these little nothings  Are what love is all about.  Ugoo.  19/08/2023.

The love not requited: here is what you don't know

  Long post alert! Sorry guys, I tried to make it shorter, but the thoughts...they just won't stop coming.😤😤😤🙏🙏🙏 ........................................................................... Hmmmm...(sad face) how do I even start? On my way out today to where I went to, I was really excited to share what I have on this with you guys, but then, I unfortunately came back not the same. I came back sad. Something very trivial but still significant had made me sad. It even almost affected my mental health; almost wanted to make me feel less, but then, I told myself, "Ugoo, you have come too far to let some other person's action make you feel this way. You remember what you promised yourself? Never to let anyone make you feel less? Never to allow anyone gloat over you? No baby, it's not part of the agreement. It doesn't matter whether what the person did was right or wrong, intentional or not intentional, but you just can't feel this way. You are way better than ...

  Today, I was going to make a post whose subject matter would have bothered on, “choose to be happy no matter what life throws at you (in extension, choose to succeed against all odds).”  But then, it occurred to me, I could only think this way because I have the privilege of choosing. What about the people who sincerely can’t choose? Like the young lady I saw one day on my way to Ebenebe, whose whole mouth is painfully blocked by a giant,malignant, tumour? Or the people permanently made unaware of anything else asides the pain that comes from the ailment of body/life which they suffer? Pain is in grades. And though neither of the grades invalidates the trauma of one another, it’s still true that some people suffer more than others.  Thus, for this reason, I would rather put it this way, if you can afford to be a chooser, especially career and “relationship” wise, but you are currently depressed because you seem to be making no headway, here are important things to note:...
