I have had several affairs with fear. Ours is a love-hate kind of relationship. We flirt and fall in and out of love faster than the speed of light.

Dear Deo,
Sometimes when I meet an old girl, right after exchanging pleasantries, the next question will be, “ how is Deo?’ what surprises me most about this question is not that they inquired after you. What surprises me most is that they still remember you so many years after school. It’s funny because they never wereContinue reading “Dear Deo,”

Dear Girlfriend,
Guess what I did? Today I woke up, styled my hair for me, and chose my best clothes to dress for me. I looked in the mirror, a satisfied smile spread over my extraordinarily beautiful face and I.

THE PENTAGON WEDDING VERSUS THE SCIENTIFIC WEDDING
Most women have perfect blue prints of what their wedding day ought to be like. The wedding dress should be one that has Cinderella, Rapunzel, Snow-White and Sleeping beauty all drool with envy; it will be perfect, the original shade of white. She imagines she will be dripping in only diamonds and pearls to accentuateContinue reading “THE PENTAGON WEDDING VERSUS THE SCIENTIFIC WEDDING”
