It's been three years.

It's been three years since I told myself that I'll step out and sing.
It's been three years since I told myself, that I won't let my weaknesses, flaws and negatives run my life. That I won't let being shy, introverted and antisocial mix with my talents.
It's been three years. 🎉🎉🎉
February 6, 2018. 
There were definitely a lot of challenges and ridicule, but I Knew I needed time. I still do.

 Lessons learned:
 Give yourself time. Make use of it, make the mistakes, learn from the mistakes. You may never get perfect, but you will become the example people look up to. ❣️
 Many people are unable to detect my fears, shyness and insecurities. It's because I have decided not to show it. Nobody knows what I go through  before getting up on a stage to hold up a microphone. I hide a lot in my smiles and stage craft. I let myself go, I concentrate on the music and how to relay the message it carries. I'm not perfect, I'm just a learner.
Give it time....

 "Fun, Friendly and confident". Many people say that when they watch me sing. But then I end up spending a lot of time sleeping and having loner times to regain all that positive energy I spill out during  performances. If I don't get enough rest and loner times, I become unproductive and boring when next I'm performing. I don't consume stimulants to boost my performance, so I need to rest and spend time alone.  Maybe one-day I'll grow past this stage. But I'm happy that I haven't wasted my talents. I'm happy that I'm able to make people happy when I sing. I love to sing. So I'll always sing.❣️

 Thanks to Eric Sunu Doe. He believed in me even when I didn't believe in myself. He told me that I can be whoever I want to become. He told me that I should give myself the chance to make mistakes. He also said that I shouldn't be too hard on myself. And that I should laugh about it and let it go. "You don't see what I see, if you did, you'd get serious with your music and performances". 
Along with Seth Kpodo, Kwame Owusu Brown, Robo.... Charity😍, who never left me alone on stage.... 
It's been a pleasure. And it's been one hell of a ride😄. This is only the beginning. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
On that note, watch out for my new single with a Atongo Zimba.

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...
