I wish everything always went as I would have wanted it. I wish all the pictures I took were full of bright happy smiles. I wish all the people who assured me they were going to do something always did. I wish all the people l spent time crushing on always crushed back. I wish I could always get all the books I wanted to read,have all the movies I wanted to watch.

I wish I could have all the jobs I wanted. I wish i had all the money I wanted so I could give some to all the people i see who so desperately needed some. I wish i had the best phone so I could take the most beautiful selfies.

I wish i had a man who had all the qualities i dream of in about a hundred different men all rolled up in just him. I wish i had the best advice to give to people who so wanted direction. I wish I had the broadest shoulders to offer to all those whose pillows were drenched in their own tears.

I wish all the people I thought of every day would think about me as much as i did. I wish the people I spent so much time in a day missing, would call my phone, just wanting to have a conversation with me. About anything and about nothing in particular.

But I have come to realize I can't have everything I wish for all of the time. And it is therefore necessary to guard my heart so that my feelings don't get the better part of me. So that when things don't go exactly as I wish, I don't convince myself there's nothing good going on.

So that I can focus on what i do have.And remember what I have going for me and those I have with me far exceeds what I don't have and those I don't have with me.

A god’s election.

All the houses that led to the Kansie shrine had no aluminum roofing. The first thing you noticed at the premises were the skull of donkeys in the rocks that housed the shrine. The skulls were kept buried because whenever it was left in the sun, the entire village suffered migraines. Everyone who entered the shrine had to be topless. No one ever returned from Kansie still bearing whatever issue had caused them to enter into it in the first place. This was where recognized fetish priests sought fortification from; and where they directed important people to seek help when they knew they could not handle the situation they brought with them. One had to be parsimonious and ready to do as was directed, because when the gods decided on what sacrifice they wanted, no appeal was heard. The national election was in two weeks and Fynn Aggrey was contesting. This was his second time running and although six others had picked up nomination forms, it was a clear contest between Fynn and Nii A...

I want to be like you..,sure?

Just before he entered University of Ghana he was involved in an accident so had to move around with the aid of crutches. During that time, there was intermittent supply of water, meaning he needed to go fetch some for use. His cousin who had been helping him throughout his registration had left after he got his room and bed.  Now there he was, standing in front of the hall, with a bucket by his side, metals in his legs, P.O.P around them and holding his crutches; feeling extremely depressed wondering how he was supposed to function in school without any help; asking himself if he should have just stayed home. But right there, he saw another student walking towards the hall, a visually impaired student, tapping the ground with his cain as he made his way slowly into the hall. He said that was the last time he allowed himself to ever get depressed about whatever situation he found himself in, because as bad as he felt his present situation was, he had so many other things going on ...

So What?

Have you found yourself doing something that you knew wasn't really 'right' or even downright wrong but you loved it so much that you damn all consequences and just live in the moment? Or when you really feel guilty about doing something but you refuse to even ask for forgiveness about it because you know even before you say Amen that you will do the exact same thing again as soon as you get the opportunity to? I don't know about you but I have. There are some things that honestly I have attempted 'negotiating' with God to give me a pass on, while I gather strength to overcome lol. You may pass your own judgment on this and say 'then you are not really sorry or you don't want to let go enough'. Ok, Most Strongest, when I grow up I want to be like you and be able to easily let go of things that i need to without even a little struggle. But you see the truth is that it is not entirely surprising that people have a certain response to situations that ...
