All you NEED to know

It was at a Conference organized by the Consulting Company I was with then in Orlando.  From the stares I got, I knew  that I looked like a crazy person holding 2 folders, a MacBook and a bag that was definitely too big for my shoulders. But where the hell are these IT guys when you need them?! I had a presentation to make in less than 20mins and my MacBook has decided not to come on so, yea I could care less about the stares honestly because I had a mission to accomplish and I was running ...

I haven't cried for 3 years since that incident. I think the tears are long overdue.

Spending the last 20 days, 3 hours and 102 seconds in Lagos, Nigeria has felt like a recurrent nightmare! But, money must be made, after all I decided to do the whole "independent woman" - "making my own money thing".  Else, I would be seated on the 32nd floor of daddy's company signing papers and reviewing documents while making cool cash without all these stress.   As I step out of the airplane, still on the stairs, I pause, take a ...

1 The weather was exactly as it is now the day I met you... It was a cloudy day and all I wanted to do was snuggle at home with a soft pair of colorful socks, a duvet, and a good Netflix movie. But no, I'm out here because my heart just couldn't tell the one person who is like a sibling to me "No".  The first day I met him, there was something beguiling about him. Sort of like a pool that just drags you into its very depth. I saw him and immediately wanted to know all his secrets (this isn't exactly new to me seeing how curious I am) but the urge was more than I had ever encountered and I felt as though I was fighting a losing battle.  He was dark, with a chin that could make Poseidon jealous and beards that would cause Zeus to stare lustfully.
