Today’s writing is about something I don’t always admit easily and that’s my struggle with patience especially when it comes to teaching. Basically, I’ve been tutoring someone recently, helping her navigate

So my cousin texted me Saturday night saying we should do something creative today. And honestly, it sounded like a good idea at the time. It’s Sunday, and for once, both of us decided not to go to church.

I woke up this morning to something I didn’t expect. Two different communities had mentioned me. I mean my name, right there, among the winners of their prompt contests. For a moment, I just stared at

I went to the market the other day to get things I needed to make soup. That day, I wasn’t feeling my best. I woke up feeling heavy and my energy low. I just wanted to make something that would settle

While scrolling Pinterest today, I came across a pin that said, “Every book reader needs a person who can listen to their book rants.” And I don’t think I’ve ever related to anything more. Because truly,

One thing about slow-burn K-drama is that it makes you feel like you’re watching real life unfold. And that’s exactly what watching this one felt like. Just two people trying (and failing) to get love

Today’s prompt made me laugh, because I actually took a quick nap today. Or at least, that was the plan. This nap was supposed to be one of those short, harmless naps. I told myself that I would just close

I was at school yesterday for my clearance, with my friend but we were already running a bit late. In our rush, she suggested that we take a shortcut. It cut through the Fine Arts department, a place I

In the estate where I live, people are always in a hurry. Their mornings except mine, begin with car engines and hurried footsteps, the evenings end with tired returns. Everyone seems too focused on work,

I won’t lie, I’m not someone who takes derogatory remarks lightly. I wish I were one of those people who could laugh things off, brush it aside, and carry on like it didn’t matter. But I’m not. Words sit

I didn’t expect to feel anxious while casually scrolling through TikTok, but here we are. I recently came across a couple of accounts promoting what looked like easy online jobs, tasks where people get

I think I’ve come to a realization about myself and I might be what you would call a book prostitute. Yes, I know it sounds dramatic. Maybe even a little ridiculous but hear me out. I fall in love with

I recently noticed that my call service provider has been doing something worthy of an ode. Every time I place a call, just before the receiver picks up, a small message appears on my screen. A very simple

What Would Be the Perfect Crime? If one were to ask this question in the literal sense, I imagine the answers would wander toward shadows, toward schemes so carefully constructed that they leave no trace,

Yesterday, my friend and I tried playing the lottery. While looking up how to go about it, she put it to me, quite simply, as though it were an ordinary question with an ordinary answer, what I would do
