Falling in Love
#Adeola-mi #ValentinesDaySpecial Growing up in my religious sociocultural environment, one of the many expressions of affection my religious leaders often criticize was “I fell in love with him/her”, ” I’m falling in love”, etc. They often argue against it.

The Life of a Lady (Part 2)
#LoveWednesday Choice has always been a problem. Choosing between two alternatives. Yet, even not having a choice brings pain too. One wonders, is this the best I can get?

#randomtots #theAdekeyeExperience #tAkE Gradually, I watched as another man began to take my place; the place I had always treasured.

#LoveWednesday #Adeola-mi The life of a lady amazes me, yet I’ll never understand what it means to be one or how she copes.

Down To My Knees
Down to my knees I’m humbled Finally, my bones give way Only the floor can hold Down to my knees Yet, not of total defeat The birth of a new The start of a race Down to my knees Locked on target The prize ahead The end is still far away. To those, like me, […]
My Vote
#LoveWednesday From the beginning of time, man has always been different from woman in various aspect-psychologically, physically, mentally, and emotionally. However, this is not an excuse for war.
