The prayer.

My mother says that I can get everything I want when I pray for it. Even though I believe in prayer, I have never received the money and cars I've prayed for all these years. She hasn't either; and she tells me she has outlived money and cars. What she prays for, is for my sisters and I to get the things she never got in life, and also a long, healthy life so that she can witness her daughters living the best life there is. She says that if she knew how effective prayer was, she would have started praying when she was my age and had just had my big sister.
🙏
But I also think that I'll get the money and cars I want when I get a reputable income everyday, every week, or every month. I believe that if I pray and fast for a 100 days without making an effort to create networks, find a job or create one for myself, I may never get the money and cars I want. The lord will however be pleased that I've dedicated a 100 days for him, but I know for sure that we are no longer in the age where Mana fell from the skies. 😒
🙏🙏
The thing is I've prayed, I am praying, and I'll pray. But the logical reasoning I've subjected myself to states that...

📝The things you believe in, is what works for you.
📝The things you work for is what you get.
📝The lucky ones are the ones who are born rich, win a lottery, or have a rich friend or relative giving them all the money and cars they want for free.
📝The other lucky ones are the ones who have health, and a family that loves them and will stand by them till they no longer can.
📝If we all had all the things we prayed for, there would be chaos in this beautiful world.
🙏🙏🙏


My prayer is that we all understand that being a good person has nothing to do with the religious denomination we belong to. Being a kind and good person is a choice. And to make your prayers work, work for the things you've prayed for!!!
🙏🙏🙏🙏

The dirty dishes

Many children in the average Ghanaian houshold cannot escape house chores; some of which includes sweeping the compound, fetching water from the community vantage tap, sending the refuse to its respective dump, doing dishes, cleaning the hen coop, going into the bush with a cutlass and a jute sack to look for and cut grass for the goats' feeding, doing the laundry, among others; Or at least those were most of my chores as a child.  However, the chore I dreaded doing the most was to wash the dirty dishes. Being the perfectionist that I was as a child, cleaning the dishes would mean that I would have to spend a lot of time scraping and rinsing. Anytime I heard my mother call out my name to go and do the dishes, my fragile heart would skip a beat. I could sometimes shed a bucket of tears before beginning the process of doing the dishes. We didn't have a sink, so I usually used basins. Other times I would spend an awful amount of time wallowing and dreading of the thoughts of doing...

Dear old pipe

..... And there I was on my porch, rocking myself up and forth to the rhythm of an unknown melody. Unknown to myself and to the world. 🗑️ My gaze was fixed on the bridge that leads to my hut; while I smoked my pipe with the hopes that the fire I inhale will penetrate my lungs to my heart. Oh yes burn! 🗑️🗑️ Dear pipe whom I smoke, burn it all. Because every fibre of my heart has been murdered. Murdered by my own imaginations and the deeds of men; disrespect and betrayal.  Oh yes, burn it all!  🗑️🗑️🗑️ When it is well cremated, do not worry about the chars. They will escape through my pores and valves. Dear old pipe whom I smoke, burn it all. 🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️

My dairies as a big breasted representative in the Pink October Month.

October is here again. Drawing the necessary attention to create awareness for breast cancer. However, others perceive it as a time to feast their eyes and enjoy pleasurable views of bare-chested and braless women with stimulated and protruding nipples. I've always had big breasts. Right from my teenage days, when they started developing, my parents and everyone close to me knew that my breasts would stand out and be very prominent. Having big breasts has been a huge struggle; even though it is admired by many, it also welcomed stigma and physical and psychological challenges. The size and shape of an individual's breast rely solely on genetics and weight. The breast tissues can loosen due to factors like old age, lack of exercise, weight fluctuations and hormonal changes. Some people have collated the size and shapes of breasts below; Let's have a look. "Round — The breasts are equally full at the top and bottom. East-west — The right and left breasts go from the cent...
