Poetry for the Lonely… There’s a silence in my voice. A stillness that no one seems to notice— or maybe they just don’t ask. I speak in half-smiles and “I’m fine” phrases, but underneath, my soul is whispering: “Do you see me? Do you hear me?” “Turn to me and be gracious to me, for… Continue reading The Silence in My Voice:
Heartbreak Between Friends:
A Poetic Mini-Series I. The Shattering I didn’t know friendship could break like this. Not loud, not with a fight— just a quiet crumbling until I was holding pieces of what we used to be. “Even my close friend, someone I trusted, one who shared my bread, has turned against me.” — Psalm 41:9 I… Continue reading Heartbreak Between Friends:
A Solo Travel Diary on a Budget-2
🌸 Buxton City Break – Day 3 🌸 So, today I decided to… well, first off, I woke up really late. Like, embarrassingly late. I completely missed breakfast at the Donovan restaurant. The famous 8 a.m. Full English Breakfast? Yeah, not happening for me today. But honestly? I didn’t mind. I needed a little lie-in.… Continue reading A Solo Travel Diary on a Budget-2

Letter to the Friend Who Hurt Me
Dear friend, I never thought I’d write this. I never thought we’d end up here. I trusted you. With secrets. With seasons. With the softest parts of me. But somewhere in the laughter, the late-night calls, the promises to always “be there”— you slipped away. Or maybe you just… stopped caring. “Even my close friend,… Continue reading Letter to the Friend Who Hurt Me
How I’ve managed to maintain my health and well-being…
What strategies do you use to maintain your health and well-being? For me, maintaining my health and well-being is about balance and intention. I try to keep it simple and sustainable. Sometimes, I follow intermittent fasting (16:8), stay mindful of what I eat (especially portion control), and include home-cooked, nutritious meals mostly inspired by African… Continue reading How I’ve managed to maintain my health and well-being…
From Betrayal to Boundaries: What I Now Expect From Friendships…
They didn’t stab me in the back they smiled while doing it. And that’s what hurt the most. Not the betrayal itself, but how long I called it love. How long I stayed, hoping they’d come around. How many times I excused the sharp words, the silent treatments, the shade covered in fake concern. “Even… Continue reading From Betrayal to Boundaries: What I Now Expect From Friendships…
Obsession with superficial validation…
What would you change about modern society? If I could change one thing about modern society, it would be the obsession with superficial validation over genuine connection and purpose. We live in a time where likes, followers, and status seem to matter more than character, kindness, or truth. In all honesty, I’d love to see… Continue reading Obsession with superficial validation…
Slamming the Door Gently…
The Art of Letting Go With Peace I used to think letting go had to be loud. Sharp words. Tears on the floor. A dramatic goodbye. But now I’m learning… peace can be quiet. Sometimes you just walk away— no fireworks, no closure, no final “why.” Just the decision to stop reopening a door God… Continue reading Slamming the Door Gently…
