I am so tired you’d think it’s a Friday. How is it still a Monday? I can’t keep my eyes open anymore and I sincerely don’t know how much coffee I have consumed today. I just need to get home, step into a hot shower, eat my favourite pap, vegetables and tripe before bed. Come...

Love at 31
You just turned 31 and that isn’t the only thing giving you a glow is it? It’s that guy that kept you awake till like 3am. Sis you need to get some sleep. You know he will still be there to chat with tomorrow right? Well, that’s if he stays! A lot of them don’t...

Dear vHonani
I hope you read this letter again when you are 30, I hope you laugh at how impatient you were with yourself. Knowing you, you would have probably forgotten about all the pain and sadness your early 20’s were filled with.I hope when you read this it’s such a distant memory. I’m writing this letter...

To the 30 year old ME.
Hey Sherh, how are you? By now, I know you are big. Like really big. Ha Ha!. Well, I hope you still maintained the body I have now. Be careful not to have destroyed your health and skin and if you have, get that credit card and do what’s right. You got the money, right....

Dear 14-year old ME
[22:06, 2016/06/01] I wish at that tender age somebody had handed you a life manual to memorize, so you’d know better what to expect from the never ending discoveries of this life journey. Honestly, being younger is far easier than the responsibility that comes with being an adult. Your sister will tell you that you...

The rest…it was a dark hole!

The bright blue house at the corner of Grisley Street in Avonlea has always been something that people talk about, especially when encountering it for the first time. How the gate ended up a bright shade of yellow is something my 45 year old...

He may just have called me a nobody in his life!
“Hayibo girl, how do you tell a guy that’s trying to get in your pants about your undying love for your stupid ex? I mean the entire date was a recap of your previous relationship. I hate to always say, but messed up as that relationship was, why do you give it the light of...

It’s cold…but it won’t always be
I don’t expect that it’s the room. I mean the heating system is still very new and Mbali complained the other time that this house is overheated. I don’t get it though. I am very sure that it’s cold. Well the weather app says it’s been pretty hot today but I mean it’s a gadget...
