38½ Years Young
There was a guy I had a crush on in university whose birthday is on February 3rd. From the moment I became aware of that fact, I started paying attention to today’s date because: I learnt to love my birthday from my mother, so birthdays, both mine and those of the people I care about, … Continue reading 38½ Years Young

The Opportunity Cost of Silence
Chloe didn’t have to turn around to know he was watching her again in that quietly dangerous way of his that makes her think of a black panther. He is seated a few rows behind Chloe in their Fundamentals of Economics class, but in her mind she can see him as vividly as if he … Continue reading The Opportunity Cost of Silence
38 on 3.8
I turned 38 on 3.8, an age that holds both my birthday and my late mother’s (August 3rd and March 8th) mirrored within it. That serendipitous realisation, which struck me three years ago, is the reason I am anchored in the conviction that 38 is destined to be the most monumental age of my life … Continue reading 38 on 3.8

Word Of The Year: Self-love
I do not know exactly when it happened, but somewhere along the way in 2024 I stopped loving myself as deeply as I should. Before getting into today’s post, I have to confess that I have never really been one to have a Word of the Year (WotY). I tried having a WotY for the … Continue reading Word Of The Year: Self-love
Karibu 2025
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it … Continue reading Karibu 2025
Crazy Unhinged Drunk Girl
Who is this crazy, unhinged, drunk girl and where the fuck did she come from? Oh, I know. You made her. You created her from scratch with the way you watch her. Your eyes trail her across the room and she feels more seen, desirable and alive than she has in years. Sorry. Let me … Continue reading Crazy Unhinged Drunk Girl
