Short Stories: The Wife And The Side Chick (Part 1)

Image
Andrew and Magdalene were one love birds whose love life was enviable, even among their friends. The single ones hoped they meet partners like them and the married ones wished they had what they have. Andrew is a 33 and a banker, and Magdalene 27 and a bussiness woman. They've been married for four years (been together for 7 years) and they have a 3-year old son. They were one happy family with less drama and lots of love. They did have misunderstandings like any normal couple but they were always quick to resolving it and back to their blissful love life. But unfortunately they has to separated for awhile because Andrew's job had to transfer him to Accra for a year(they were living in Sunyani) and it was torture for them. The night before he was to leave was a sad and hard moment for them. Magdalene cried of missing her husband and Andrew was not happy about the idea of leaving the side of his family either, but there was nothing they could do. He howev...

Dearly Beloved, Enough Of The Contemplations, Make That Move!

Image
Hello awesome readers! Since we are just a few days into this new month, I think I can wish you a happy new month right? May good things locate you. On that note, let me ask; what is that thing on your heart and you believe is the best move for you but all you do it just keep contemplating and never go ahead with it? Don't you think it is about time you made a move? Yes, it is not always so easy to start off something new, but once you believe it is the best decision and you muster up the courage and take a step, you will be surprised how things will just flow. Maybe you are probably thinking about  the failures, but even if it does, wouldn't you rather want to have that peace of mind knowing at least you tried than having 'what ifs' eat up your mind? If you keep contemplating on it, you might never do it. So start that business, apply for that job, date that person, move to that city, walk away from that abusive relationship, walk away from that negat...

The Girl-Child Is Not Safe, The Girl-Child Is In Danger, We Need To Protect Them Now!!

Image
Defilement has been happening since time in memorial and it is sickening to imagine that grown up men will find kids as little as a year old or even babies sexually appealing. Whenever I hear news of such, it makes me sick to my stomach. Some of these kids never recover from the trauma, die from it or the act have effect an their health. It is just sad these little girls that you men are to protect, they rather do not feel safe around you. Around men they call father, uncles, brothers, guardians. What even bothers me more when I hear of a case of defilement is when the culprit do not receive the necessary punishments they deserve. Some of us, if they put us on the seat of a judge we will do terrible things to these men, seriously. Sometimes we even feel like imprisoning them is not enough. But can you imagine that sometimes these men commit this atrocity and they are left to go scot-free? Like the recent Assin Fosu case which has thrown  Ghanaians into a state of anger. ...

To Slide Or Not To Slide Into His DM....

Image
Hi awesome people, hope you are all doing good, and the week is treating you well. No? Hang in there weekend will be here soon. How many of you have ever seen a guy on social media and think like damn, he has a great personality and you would like to get to know him more but when it comes to sliding into his DM to say hi, you begin to have second thoughts? I bet most of you have been there before or a few times. As for guys, we know it is easy to just hit into a lady's DM, though sometimes you claim you don't because you get scared of being bounced with a 'no'. But most often than not, you do it. But for us ladies, it is not so easy, especially in our part of the world (Africa). But I saw a post on  Facebook a few weeks ago of this beautiful engaged couple, who actually started it off through the DM, and from the post, which was posted by the guy, it was the girl who got into his DM first, and they took it from there--And they are probably married by now. ...

The Fear Of Rejection....

Image
The fear of being rejected has killed and is killing more dreams, careers, talents and even relationships, more than we imagine. Simple words like ‘no’ and 'sorry', can automatically dim your shine and make you give you. We have all at a point in our life been afraid of going after something we wanted because of the fear of being rejected - story of my life. It is this fear of rejection that is making people do shitty things just to be accepted these days because rejection can be very hard to deal with.  Rejection is even making people commit suicide. Not being accepted into that school, the un-replied job applications, the unanswered emails, the rejected job proposals, and love proposals, not being accepted in a certain society, all that can be very frustrating and can make you spend days doubting yourself and that low self-esteem sucks.  Imagine working on a project for months, putting in so much effort day and night and then after when you go seeking for spon...
