When Love Turns into Loneliness
We used to talk about everything. From which suya joint had the best pepper to what kind of house we’d raise our kids in one day. There was a time Kunle couldn’t go five minutes without saying something to make me laugh. I still remember how he once stopped in the middle of traffic, leaned across the seat, and kissed me like the whole world had gone still.

When the Phone Finally Rang
Rami hadn’t spoken to his mother in weeks. Not because of anger. Not because of a disagreement. Just… life. There was always something demanding his time — endless meetings, emails, errands, and those promises to "call later" that never actually happened.

🕵️‍♂️ "The Room Across the Hall"
The apartment was small, but it had clean floors, cheap rent, and enough space for Ava and her books. After everything that happened in the city—the panic attacks, the stalker, the job loss—it felt like a reset. The town of Westridge was nothing special, but it was quiet. Exactly what she needed.

The Window That Cried
In a quiet town wrapped in mist, stood an old wooden house on the corner of Hollow Street. It wasn’t the biggest house, nor the brightest, but something about it made people slow down as they walked by. Maybe it was the strange ivy that grew only on one side. Or perhaps it was the small window on the second floor the one everyone called The Window That Cried.

Between Silence and Spotlight: The Strange Extremes of Millennial Parenting
Recently, two TikTok videos went viral for wildly different—but oddly connected—reasons. In one, a young mother earnestly asks the internet: “Am I supposed to be talking to my 11-month-old? Like, daily?” She looks tired, confused, and genuinely uncertain. It’s the kind of question that makes you do a slow blink while the static of existential dread crackles faintly in the background.

The Smile Rebellion
In the sterile city of Virell, silence reigned supreme. No laughter. No crying. No joy, sorrow, or fear. Emotion was declared the root of chaos, the spark of war, the downfall of civilization. And so, nearly a century ago, the World Concord issued Decree Zero: all emotional expression is illegal. Emotional suppression implants were fitted at birth. Schools taught neutrality. Families lived like quiet machines.

Restless Waves: A Journey Through the Tides of Grief.
Authors Note: I wrote this piece in response to two questions I was asked about grief—specifically the kind that comes in waves, unexpected and overwhelming. This is my honest attempt to put those feelings into words and to offer something meaningful to anyone who's navigating their own ocean of loss. If you're grieving, I hope this meets you where you are.
