HEARD ABOUT ESE?

Image
Have you heard about Ese?  Golden black Ese as we used to call her.  Her skin so beautiful that most people called her the goddess of the black race.  She went to papa Ijebu, who mixed pepper with lemon water, he added a little bit of carol white and a pinch of something which name, I can't recall. Suddenly the black in her skin vanished like magic, she was now "African snow white"  and she reigned in her head and her new found skin.  Ese was walking on the air, almost like her new skin gave her super powers.  Awhile later, there were cracks, itches,scratches and peelings... Her body was at war with itself.  Ese's skin changed colors more rapidly than a chameleon, no one could keep up. Then came the decay that went from her skin deep inside of her and in a flash, she was gone.   Ese died trying to be who she wasn't, she was so dissatisfied with being black in a black skin and I wonder why, what is so wrong with being black?

Another Ride with my Uncle

Image
  So last week I was on another ride with my uncle to his office (you may need to surf through my blog to read the first one). Immediately we entered the car he had turned on the music and started dancing to it (he obviously thinks of himself as the Michael Jackson of our time but trust me, he is not 🙈🙈) and seeing that he was enjoying himself I quickly picked up my phone and went straight to Instagram and then to my Whatsapp. A typical thing for my generation to do.  Few minutes later he had turned down the volume of the music and asked if I was writing. I knew he was  referring to my blog and in that instance I wished I was actually writing something on my blog because that would have been a way better answer than "no, I'm just chatting online". He sighed and I could literally hear disappointment in his sigh and as normal with me, I managed to laugh it out. "How can two people be in the same place and not talk to each about stuff but instead focus on their phones

HEART NOTES 2

Image
Poem Threads The value you don't put on yourself no one else will put on you. You need to stop making excuses for people who treat you less than you deserve.  It is best to unlearn some habits of taking on other people's responsibility.  Some things never change. Some people are not as capable with mental growth as they are with physical growth. Don't waste your time nursing a forever baby.  If you have life,you have hope. If you have hope you have a million more chances to get it right. There is always the right person for everyone.  Love recognizes hearts.  If they stop giving what they usually give, it mostly because they don't feel what they usually feel.
