From my small room to the world

It always fascinates me how anyone could manage to pull off a simple look and have a very beautiful high quality photo up on Instagram. I follow several influencers on Instagram and most if not all, have very beautiful high quality feeds. How do they manage to do that? I have always wondered. I have been a YouTube fan since 2019.   I enjoy the funny videos, the pranks, the couples’s channels, music, kits; I could name a whole list. Thanks to quarantine, I have grown an interest in content creation. What I didn’t know however, is the amount of work that goes into those videos, the beautiful photos on IG not forgetting tiktok videos, until the beginning of May.   I did one tiktok dance with my sister; it was exhausting. We practiced for two days and on the recording day we took almost 10 takes before we had a nice video. Editing the video is also a task. The video was less than minute but the amount of time we took to have a good video was a lot. Imagine the creators who put up 40 minu

An open letter to my ''friend''

  Dear “Friend”, It’s almost a year now since we began our friendship. I can’t complain much it’s been nice, except the times when you unexpectedly shut down. I remember the first time it happened Whooo!! I thought I’d lost you but you opened up. I don’t know if our relationship is the same as others but in some way it is.   I don’t want to lose you, have you stolen or see you broken even though it’s bound to happen one day; neither of us is perfect. Regardless, I certainly can’t stop thinking about how it will end based on my experience in past relationships.   But I still try to enjoy every moment in the present with you. You know my desires, my plans, my priorities, my favourite people, my favourite type of music, my crushes, my cravings, my favourite animal, my secrets, my emails, my Facebook friends, my 90 Instagram followers, my insecurities, my fears, my phobias, my worries and my sleepless nights. You have seen my happy tears, my sad tears, my ugliest laugh, and my smil

It was an awfully quiet night preps...

It was an awfully quiet night preps. Unlike the others, the principle had taken rounds in the classes. She is fierce, with a very loud voice. She managed to make everyone fear her, some teachers and workers included. We could hear her as she gave instructions in her stern voice to some class, probably on the form one block which was on the 3rd floor. Our class was on the 1st floor of the same building. Once her voice was heard, everyone, I mean everyone in the school would start fidgeting. This is because she would come to your class and check random things like your notebooks, your desk, practically anything! I remember there was this thing we used to do called “5 sums a day”. When you heard her that is when you would remember that the last time you did them was last term. You should be on number 455 but your sorry self is at 250. Remember it’s from last term. You had to think of a way to have an updated number in case she checked those. Talk about drama!   The 9:30 pm bell rings.
