The boss lady

Hello TBL squad, The road from church had this T-junction, the route  home was on the left while Mr Biggs was on the right. After service when we got to the junction, my dad always asked left or right, even when he knew the answer already. we always shouted right with so much joy.   When we chose our cake for Sunday brunch, I picked based on how attractive the icing looked not caring the flavor at that moment or if it had a cherry on top or not. The icing is what makes a cake really attractive. if various vanilla cakes are kept on a stand, with vanilla being your best flavor, you'd pick based on how pretty the icing looks.  The cherry on the cake is that extra finishing, the final toppings, like the twinkles, or the maltesars on top or the Oreo's.  Take note, that without the cherry, the cake is still very much a cake.    In my excitement, I probably wouldn’t have  noticed a cherry-less cake but of course it won’t hurt to have the cherry....

Being the villain Who is a villain?👹👹👹 A villain is a bad guy. The evil stepmother that locks the princess in a really far away temple, the one that cast away the princess in a sleep to last for eternity… Anyways that was my definition of a villain As a child I always hated the villains in every story.

Or are villains in one way or the other people that are misunderstood. Can life really be about good and evil...? Black and white... what of the little grey in the middle. Let’s leave the grey in the middle for the villains that were misunderstood... Judge the story below with your mind as plain as a blank canvas, not like the 12-year-old me. Black/white/grey ? When kemi was going to the university, her secondary school friends dreaded her school. So she literally knew no one, she knew she ha...

Self-love. Self-love is loving yourself regardless of your flaws. Personally I feel like self-love is owning yourself and loving it. Knowing your strengths and working towards your weakness and loving yourself every step on the way. When I was younger, I always battled with self-love. I was a people-pleaser. I couldn’t bear the thoughts of anyone being angry with me, I tried to make everyone like me, in every way possible. I just wanted to be in everyone’s good book. I think it had to do with the fact that I was highly in touch with my emotions but as i grew up, I realized that I didn’t love myself enough. If I loved myself enough and owned my identity I wouldn’t have given “ two biscuits” about what anyone thought of me. For the most part of high school I was bigger than all my friends. I always got teased about it. It might have been all jokes but I could have done anything to be considered normal. To just fit right in. I wasn’t outrageously big, I was just tall and I...
