I have never celebrated my birthday since I was 2 I can't remember ever celebrating my birthday. The only reminder I ever celebrated one, was a picture of me standing before a cake with so many kids surrounding me. I personally don't see any point in celebrating added with the responsibilities I have. Friends are always like "hope you celebrated it" " where are we going to celebrate it" ''Why wont you celebrate it, we can get drunk and stuff'' But at my birthday I always…

Me, Myself and I I don’t do well in front of crowds. In fact, I often don’t do well in a gathering especially if there is one or two members of the gathering with whom I am not overly familiar. So having you here, in a medium that tends to work much more successfully for a person of my particular nature, I’m going to let you in on a secret: I'm an introvert. And this is me. My name is Ronald, and I am a Nigerian. The first of four siblings and a guy in his late 20s. I’m an…

The wannabe He pauses. He thinks. He ruminates. What is he doing with his life? What has been accomplished so far? A bachelors degree and a plan to gain his Masters. Still living at home with his mother and siblings. Managing to take care of the family with absolutely no work experience as such, was he worth anything? The fact that people make fun of him for being an underachiever didn't help his cause. He needed to find his 'eureka' moment where he finds the true purpose of…

The Errand It’s Friday. I was bored at my Aunt’s apartment. I left my hometown yesterday to visit her in the city. Just for environmental change. She left for work early, and I was home alone. I know no one here and don't know around. No power supply and my phone battery was almost drained, had nothing to keep myself engaged. I couldn't sleep. I just sat on a chair clueless. At noon a call came from her. She forgot her phone charger at home and wanted me to bring it to her.…

It seems I need a good reason to leave the house than a random walk on the streets of the city with no…

He is hurt. He doesn't even know how to cope with what is hurting him. He is so scared that if he lets his guard down, if he lets someone in and they see him, the flaws and all. He is scared they would still love him and he doesn't think he deserves that love because he lives in a world where he is constantly told that ho doesn't.
