The goals for 2022 The new year is already at the door and thinking about the goals for the New Year is surely something that would be on the mind of everyone at this time. The goals for the New Year are one thing that has been on my mind even before the end of the year approached. There is a saying that *"life itself is a challenge"* so there will be challenges on the way to achieving these goals that's for sure ***but the will to overcome them and still stand strong with…
Tangerine-flavored kiss Matilda had not been herself since the day she set her eyes on the new neighbor. *"No! this isn't me, I have to stop myself from feeling this way"*. She said to herself with a feeling of frustration written all over her face. She wanted so bad to stop herself from liking this new neighbor who she barely knows. ***"Matilda! Matilda!! we need to leave now so we won't be late"****.* Her sister called out from the living room. *"I will be with you…
Dreemy Dreem. *Wednesday evening in the Twilight of Christmas and New Year. A snowstorm shot flakes of snow at the window pane. Sheltered behind the glass, a flame cast an orange glow to the only other residents perched by the window. Sat pon a cushion with her knees to her chest. Her arms wrapped around her legs grasping a hot cup of cocoa. She sat in a dreamy dreem and stared out to the darkness camouflaged by a blanket of snow* Image source…
First of all, introduction. Hi everyone, My name is Jessica Ossom, I am from Akwa-Ibom state, I come from a family of 4, I'm the third girl, (we are four girls). I was born and brought up in Lagos, a state in Nigeria and I'm a Christian. I'm happily married and a mother of one (a handsome boy). I'm not an extrovert at all and not an introvert either. I sometimes refer to myself as an introvert who isn't introverted. I'm nice, kind-hearted, my biggest flaw is that I take…
Wet dreams. Shvets production https://www.pexels.com/photo/frightened-female-ccreaming-on-a-dark-room-7193896/ "Oh no! I didn't do this. what on earth could have made this happen? How do I go back there, how will I explain, oh I'm in a deep mess" Daniella had also thought about spending some quality time together with their fiance even though they were still courting. She wanted to have a feel of getting to be in his house and doing all that a wife does. A few days after…
Ravenously hungry There are days where one would leave the house in the morning without having breakfast in other to earn some money at the place of work and still be fine till night time even though they've had nothing to eat all day. Today wasn't that kind of day for Lizzy. Even though she blacked out twice, she continued with the work anyway, a good thing she didn't fall, it was only a dizzy feeling that didn't last up to 5 seconds, she was enough to continue. Lizzy was…
I am grateful For some reason, I've been unable to publish a post about what I'm most grateful for right now. I had to take several pauses to think, is it that I have nothing to be grateful for? There are so many things I'm grateful for which are sound health, God's protection, and provision, newly acquired skills, family, business, mental health, etc. There are lots of things to be grateful for, so I think it would be weird if I say I don't have anything I'm most grateful…
I'm not inspired. What do you do when you're not feeling inspired? You suddenly lose interest in things that make you happy, you just want to wallow in whatever the situation may have made you lose interest. Even though your subconscious mind speaks to you, tells you that you need to fight the moods that a situation has kept you in, you still find yourself deep in that same state feeling lost, alone, sad. Hikmet…
The double-pointed thing Cottonbro https://www.pexels.com/photo/person-in-creepy-clown-makeup-5427552/ In a bid to search for glory, I found myself deep in an ocean covered with some sort of thing I feel scared to describe. It's not a thing to say as you wish, you will hate yourself whenever it happens that your mind drifts to it because all you truly want is to get it out of your mind. Hey! This is it, we go nowhere from here, the only thing I can spare would be that…
Why blame me?? We see a lot of couples celebrating several years of marriage, 10 years, 20 years, etc. Some people might think that the anniversary that is being celebrated was filled with milk and honey and was just like a bed of roses. In as much as marriage is sweet, it doesn't change the bitterness that will be felt in between. They are what I call the test of time.

Market Friday I visited my favorite store today, and I got a few things and took a few pictures of the place. The first market I visited was quite crowded so I could take pictures of the place. All that I spent at the market cost about $25 excluding the products I went to pick up. I had already ordered them on December 26th and was supposed to go pick them up since ton of January. This is a screenshot of my order number and the date of the order from my favorite beauty…
Visiting my dreams. I've been here before. Yes. I visited in my dreams when I was a kid. It always felt more welcoming than home. I could do whatever I wanted. I could go wherever I desired. All I did was picture it in my head and viola...faster than light's speed, quicker than time itself, the scenes kept changing as I wished it. Yes, I held the magic wand and the elements obeyed my every caprices. Where else could someone dream their dreams and even let others dream it…
15mins Freewrite- The bolded is the Prompt She shouted out of frustration, I shouldn't stress myself about this anymore. How could something like that happen when everyone was there? I should have let it go when I felt the need to but now it's all wrong. Yes, it has all gone wrong. How can this be sorted out? I don't know what to do now. No, wait! I saw her, I saw when she took those things, she tried covering it up but I had already seen it before she could do any other…
Due to power issues in my area, I could get my phone charged from Sunday evening until Thursday evening. It's so frustrating that I couldn't come in here on the platform to write for 2 days. My phone's battery was flat, there was nothing I could do to just be patient for when I would be able to get the phone charged. It's charged now I shall resume being active. Thank you for the time.
Murder No way! I begged him to stay but he refused. Stop! Say no more now for it has been accomplished. There's nothing you can do now to turn back time, absolutely nothing. I was kind, I wanted you to feel comfortable, even though I never really understood you, I still tried my best to keep everything you in a sane mind. Engin Akyurt https://www.pexels.com/photo/silhouette-photo-of-woman-1446948/ This is what I get, I'm the wicked one, I'm evil, guess what, I'm taking all…
In a confused state. Source https://pixabay.com/ In this picture, the wall looks painted and there are shadows on the wall. A guy who is the focus of the picture has his hoodie on and his face is covered with the cap of the hoodie. He is holding a syringe with a tight grip. I feel that this guy needed to be alone, probably to think about something that he feels disturbed about. It seems that what which he is thinking about is also makes him confused. He also seems to be a…
She was SCAMMED. There's one thing I have found out about desperation, things you would normally not consider, out of desperation, you find yourself, considering and doing them. That feeling of being hopeless, full of fear, and in need of help. At some point in our lives, I know that we have all been there, I have been there, so I know how it feels like to be desperate. Being desperate doesn't make us bad anyway, it is just one of life's phases that people experience once in…
Do you like peanut soup? For some reason, I've not had the strength to write a post about this particular dish which I feel should be known by a lot of Nigerians and probably by people in other countries. I guess one of the reasons why I've been feeling lazy to write and publish this post maybe because I feel that there are many recipe posts on the internet, when you check google and search for the recipe of any type of food, you find it. I don't want to bore us though. I…
Do ghosts exist? I have heard stories about a ghost from some people and the majority of them believe that ghost exists. Even though science says that there is no evidence that ghosts are real, a lot of people may have had an encounter with a ghost, or was it a ghost they had an encounter with? **Speaking of a ghost, what is a ghost?** According to google dictionary, *"A ghost is an apparition of a dead person which is believed to appear or become manifest to the living,…
Seventeen stitches. So I used THE MOST DANGEROUS WRITING APP and here is what I could come up with. https://www.squibler.io/dangerous-writing-prompt-app/write?limit=5&type=minute Source https://www.pexels.com/photo/portrait-of-confused-woman-3958791/ So I'm supposed to write about seventeen stitches? How do you want me to do that, nothing keeps coming? Oh, wait! You weren't talking about writing, is that a code of some sort? Tell me, I'm getting more confused. Seventeen…
Passivity, the obstacle of success. *Passivity implies taking things with levity or having an "I don't care attitude" towards issues, ongoing events around us, political participation, investment ideas, health information, and other areas of a social system.* It can also manifest in varying levels of disinterest even where matters that affect us are concerned. Passivity means the inability to take responsibility or the lack of inspiration and drive to achieve a specific goal…
She no longer has access. It has been 3 weeks now since hubby returned from the village with his younger sister. We had a little bit of an argument because of this though, not because he came back with his younger sister but because he didn't see that it was important to call me his wife at home to let me know what to expect when he gets back, it took me by surprise and it wasn't a pleasant one. However, I have moved. Sincerely, I wasn't happy about it but there's no way I…
Happy Birthday to me...wait! No birthday yet. Some years ago, I remember telling myself how I'm going to celebrate getting myself a nice gift. I love singing, so anything that has to do with me developing my singing ability is one I'm always up for, so I promised I was going to get myself a guitar. Well, I planned and did my best at that time, however, I couldn't get the guitar. 😑 I recently thought about being an active very vlogger, I use to be afraid of using the camera…
The universe seems to be in support. https://youtu.be/RFr6tC6LA_4 About a month ago, I published a post about becoming an active vlogger. I stated that I don't have so much to no experience at all when it comes to blogging, however, I would still love to learn all that is needed to learn so I can be a good vlogger. Being a makeup artist too, I felt confident and felt good about the idea. However, as humans, there is one thing we will always experience which is the challenges…
Suspicious Silence Today has been wonderful, from the start to this very moment. However, I have been busy with some chores at home since we got back from church. When I finally got the chance to relax a bit, I grabbed my phone, the first place I visited was my WhatsApp status. A lot of my contacts post interesting things most of the time so I decided to kill time with that. As I scrolled through, watching several videos and reading memes, I came across one which reminded me…
Done and dusted Finally, we have reached the last day in January in the year 2022. 31-1-2022. There is this popular saying about January being a very long and dry month. Apart from the harmattan season in my country which is accompanied with a lot of dust that keeps one moping the house or office almost every day, it is said that there isn't always money during this period which is traceable to the fact that a lot of money has been spent during the festive period leaving a…
Max, don't go out there. Sofia Alexandra https://www.pexels.com/photo/photo-of-woman-sitting-on-floor-3007355/ It's been roughly a month since she was called to a meeting like the previous ones I've experienced. Things may be going well with her now. Not so long after a brief discussion with the other members, the phone rang, immediately he answered. What happened this time, you don't mean it. I'm sure there is a mistake somewhere, please hold on for a sec let me confirm…
