Could you please lay here with me

It's been a while since you've experienced a certain affection only someone of the opposite sex can give (or same sex for some). You're in need of a certain kind of attention. One that makes you feel special, wanted, one with enough power to brighten up your whole day at the utterance of a single word/name. You wish you could find a best friend through shared intimacy. One you are willing to break down your walls for, give your all to...

You are alone... in need of a friend, a brother, a sister, a stranger, anyone really because trapped by yourself on that island that seems to be surrounded by waters no one ever sails or treads. You are barred from the rest of the world. Shout all you want. There is no one to hear or rescue you... you are alone...

It is dark. You're afraid. You know the monsters are under your bed there waiting for you to fall asleep so they can attack. You know they're real. You've seen them countless times and you know the horror they're capable of...

You lay there and deep within you, you know any minute now you will never again see or be with your friends or family. You see it coming. It's drawing much too close for comfort.... **INHALES**... don't let it go, it might be your last...

You.... I am you...

All the while I could hardly recognise myself as i watch different parts of myself wither away through each circumstance.
Lay with me.... Please... Lay with me, I need your warmth. Hold my hand as I exhale. Restore me. Breathe life into me. Rid me of this loneliness. of this fear. of this entrapment...

**EXHALES**

Now I am revived. But don't leave. Lay with me til the morning so you can see my smile in the new dawn.

D.I.Y.: Vest to Bodysuit

Hey! It's been a minute.... yes, a really long minute 🙈 I know. But I'm back!! Woop woop. The festive season is upon us and we all want to look good because why not?? So I'm here to help y'all look good on a budget so you can have enough money left over to go out and celebrate.... you're welcome, you know I gatchu *insert high five here*. So, last year I had written an article on thrifting, or salaula if you may, on the Trendition-Z page, follow the link >  HERE  < . I gave a few tips on how to go about it so you will definitely find it useful. (Read it!!) A while ago, I happened to find myself in DAPP because they had clothes going at K8... K8!!! How could I walk past that?? So I got the vest and knit sweater in the thumbnail picture above for K8 each and felt pretty good about my purchase. Problem is, the vest was way too long as you see above. Ended up looking like a really short dress so it was idly sitting in the closet until I got a light bulb m...

Death's Selective Mourners

Hey y'all.... so yesterday the 4th of April there was a bus accident in which it is reported about 6 people died. Tragic. Especially for the families of the deceased. But... all over social media I only kept seeing condolences to one family. The one whose daughter was a bride to be. Of course absolutely nothing wrong with issuing out condolences. Only problem is this tendency to only feel remorse for and talk about the "celebrity". I'll explain. If there are 2 or 3 people in a vehicle and of those people one of them happens to be a famous person and then an accident occurs, the only person or person's family that will receive tons of love, remorse and have posts of condolences sent their way is that of the famous person. And this really bothers me because do the lives of the other victims not matter and go unnoticed because they were unknowns? No. Every life matters and cannot be measured or valued by one's level of popularity or wealth. So back to yes...

Look for Less with DIY

So.... I'm into arts and crafts, DIY... anything I can do by myself I don't like to spend money on. From changing a light bulb to fixing a plug or socket to hammering something together, fixing a door handle, painting, braiding my hair all the way to the clothes I wear. I prefer to do things on my own from the phrase/saying: "If you want something done right do it yourself"  That's my motto. I prefer to be self sufficient and encourage others to do the same because there is nothing I hate more than having to be stranded and depend on someone else to come through only to disappoint me.  But don't get me wrong, where I'm unable to, I'm quick to ask for help. So school was forcibly/prematurely closed so i've been bored outta my mind.  But then I thought "hmm i like clothes. Why don't I get a little creative to pass the time" and got to it. Yesterday I came up with this little number Made the crop top out of a p...
