There is beauty in the things that we have, especially when we choose not to settle. Settling for something lower than our worth. It happens in most areas of our lives but what is important is how we approach it. For example, we can see that there are few toxic people in our lives, cutting them off should be easy but…

Acceptance
Not always easy, especially from the direction we seek. Whether it be from others or family or even ourselves. The hardest one is usually from ourselves. Exposing all the ugliness, the part of us that is still sore. The hurts that have taken far too long to heal. And yet, we don’t love ourselves. We don’t love our history, the…
What’s marvellous to me?

Being a father
I stepped into ShopRite in Jabi Lake Mall, Abuja (the Federal Capital of Nigeria) with a t-shirt, jeans and sneakers. So it was expected that as a young guy, I will be looking for anything apart from what I was about to ask the Mall Attendant. ‘Please, where can I get babies diapers?’ he gave me a quizzical look and…
