King Torie

I stood there, my glock 17 in my hands, aimed at his chest. I'd rehearsed lines for this moment but then, staring him in the eye I didn't think it was worth it. I should have gone for the slow death option, I tilted my head to the left a bit so I could study the look in his eyes. I was standing face to face with the love of my life but not for long. I'd watched them transition from slight annoyance ( he didn't like being disturbed as apparently that's what I had been doing for a while) to amusement to disbelief to fear and then... horror. I smiled. I licked my lips- I'm going to be the last thing he sees before he dies, I should make it worth his while. I should make it worth my while too. Oh Lord, he was so handsome. Couldn't recall how many nights I had stayed up watching that face, he looked so magnificent in his sleep. I loved how he smiled in his sleep like he was responding to a private joke. Couldn't recall how many kisses I had planted on th

The last few days of this year have been the roughest for me. A week after losing my phone and all my documents in it, my family (dad and younger sisters) and I were involved in a very fatal accident but glory be to God, no life was lost. Yes, I do realize that it was a total miracle but that doesn't quiet the voices in my head. To say I feel lost would be putting it lightly cause as it stands, the only thing that pushes past the thick wall of numbness I feel is excruciating pain and it comes from my chest. I'm in the midst of family but I haven't felt more alone in my life. This year has hammered something into my head ----- NO ONE OWES YOU SHIT!!! Lol, it hurts really bad and I won't lie cause I've promised to keep it real 💯 It hurts cause everyone seems to be having so much fun, oblivious to the pain I'm feeling and honestly it's no one's fault. I don't know what 2019 holds but it's gotta be freaking epic considering how sad I am even

You will never have anything figured out and it might sound harsh but thats how bitter truth is. Don't beat yourself up when things don't go as planned cause that's when things get interesting--- being able to survive it all but really what do we have to lose? We'd all die anyway. You'd not know until you stare death in the face that now is all you have. Maybe when you understand that life is a journey and not a race... but answer honestly, what do you really want? Thinking out loud... I really don't know who needs to hear this but, Live, love, laugh .

Isn’t it crazy? How you can actually do and be anything you want to be? About two years back, a friend of mine decided to learn how to draw and all she had was google, a sketch book and a pencil. She looked crazy to me but now she draws exceptionally and she gets better everyday. She decided to learn how to sew and again with just google, a sewing machine and a few materials and soon she’d be launching her first line clothing line. Crazy yeah? I decided to work on my “not so amazing” voice and in the past year I’ve made so much progress, people don’t scowl when I sing. I have a few acquaintances who use “everyone is doing it”.... Have you ever been to market?? How many people sell pepper? Puhhhlllleeeaaaseee... Uhm, what was your excuse again? You can do whatever you want to as long as you put your mind to it. I wish I had started learning how to draw two years ago, maybe I’d be quite good now but we’d never know and why? Cause I didn’t start in the first place. Don’t be like me, live!

“If my dad or mom says something as stupid as what you just said, please insult him or her cause I’m about to insult you”, said my elder sister when she was narrating one of them stories from her “school days”. Respect goes both ways y’all!!  I’m not very sure but I think this is an African thing, everyone uses “age” as an excuse to insult people and honestly it just shows how ignorant Africans are. Lol, like how they call us back to greet... y’all think we didn’t see you in the first place?? 😂 Look, respect is earned. Start by respecting yourself. There are certain things people say that are not necessary. So, I had a little banter with someone in church and while scolding me, my dad said I shouldn’t refer to that person that disrespectfully cause she’s older than my elder sister and I bluntly told him that my sister wouldn’t say the kind of things she said to me to anyone, regardless of their age 🤷🏼‍♀️ Most of y’all pride in being called “uncle” and “Aunty” but do y’all act like U

These days I feel humans just exist. Nothing feels right anymore. Can we just rewind? What are we doing? Allowing ourselves drown and sink deeper into this abyss every day. I’m 20 now and when I was 10, all I wanted to do was play outside with my friends but now even when I try to “chill”with my “friends” these days, everything just feels “off”. Am I the only one or does “friendship” really feel different? Is it technology or are we just evolving?? •There’s more but then I forgot cause my cat decided my arm was the coziest place to sleep.
