No clue what hit you

Bridget:  Have you ever had a sleepless night?. If yes, then you know how it feels. If not, then you haven't yet been welcomed into the real world. Sometimes, you are very much aware is your fault so you try to suppress the emotions. Other times, you have no clue what hit you. All you feel is like your heart is ripped out and blood oozing out with stains all over your hand. No one around to fix you. Everyone is fast asleep while you lie down. And all you are asking yourself is, how come I couldn't figure this out?. Cause there were clues written all over it, yet you were blinded by the veil covering your eyes. It could be from a simple message and the sender fast asleep. Could also be from a phone call. An information or a deadline fast approaching. It's difficult to let some things slide but you just cannot do anything about it sometimes. But if you can, why not. Try fix it, just for the benefit of the doubt that you gave your all. And then you can move on with no regrets.

He Really Shocked Me

Aisha: Ivy, for a moment I thought I was reading but whom was I kidding. I started off by reading in my head. After a while I realized that wasn't working so I switched to mumbling out the words like I was reading my devotional guide. But that didn't work either. Guess what was on my mind the whole time?. You won't believe it even if I told you. But I ain't kidding anyways. I hope you do remember the time I told you I was in town, during the weekend?. Yes, Kwame told me to meet up with him. So we met and were having "our conversation" as usual. We got to Melcom and we decided to go buy a thing or two. As we stepped inside we parted ways, only for me to meet him around the corner with his friends, kneeling down with a ring in his hand. And I was like, Oh b3h you!. Come and see laughter from viewers. Now the video is gone viral and I'm feeling bad about it. What should I do?.

Zone me not already

Evelyn: You use to refer to me with a whole lot of mellifluous names that gladdens one's heart but not anymore. I understand not your love sometimes. You use to say hello every morning but now I'm the only one who does. Seeming, you always waiting on me to say hello first. Lemme take a break on the "not-any-mores". I know this isn't chess that we have to play in turns but at least show the care you care. #Smiles. Wonder what's really up with you during your airplane mode activation periods or should I say, your time of silence. I'm not complaining at all, I'm only saying lemme feel the love you have for me as well. Don't keep it all locked up inside. Share with me your busy life schedules by simply updating me of your whereabouts and encounters without me asking first. Since we decided to go on this intimacy journey together, zone me not already.

Wasn't My Kinda Guy

Rose: I wonder how this "love thing" started. Cause I was very much aware right from the onset we were no match. Repeatedly, he use to say all he wanted in a lady and I lacked in all aspects hands down. He mentioned a few list I quite remember of. A lady who can dance, sing, isn't noisy, doesn't talk too much, isn't always asking for a favor and isn't always up in his case.  I mean, I love to listen so I took note. And I lacked in all these areas to talk of his physical appearance expectations. But now look, we ended up together anyway. Sometimes, I got this  lousy feeling I was a temporary person until he met his kinda girl. But he always proved me wrong. He wasn't my kind of guy either. It isn't all about love you know but on love, the solid rock we built our foundation.

All I can say is I'm happy for you

Rita: I always had an eye for you. Cause I knew you would make it in life not that I loved you as more than a friend. I was into you because I saw a blistering potential anytime I was around you. Besides I knew it from the on-set you would soar like an eagle when the time was right. I clinched myself to you the more cause I admired your charisma, composure, commitment, persistence and high hopes even out of nothing. You inspired me to strive harder for the things I desired even though you use to put me under pressure. The only problem I had with you was your quick temper and how you always wanted me to understand you but you never made enough effort to understand me. The only reason why I never wanted us as more than friends. Anyways, let's hook up sometime.

All up in flames

Andy: I told her the truth. Realized, it wasn't even necessary. At that point I couldn't tell what was on her mind. But she looked me in the eye for the first time, smiled at me and changed the topic. Unfortunately,  I knew that look so well. It was that particular look that could form a whole paragraph if put into words. It had both negatives and positives summed up in one. Since then, I've tried to get my mind of it but to no avail. I did ask her the reason for her sudden change of gesture and of course she said it was nothing. But I know that look so well, isn't to say that I get that a lot. The only problem I'm having now are my doubts for the reason behind that look. Hoping its the entire opposite of what I have in mind.

This Matter II

Ivy:  Its quite obvious you want to force words out of me. Well you keep on trying and now you've succeeded. But this time around its really a bold step you've taken. Truth being told, I'm quite impressed. Haven't seen this side of you in a while. This was actually one of the reasons why I became so fond of you. I always admired this attitude of yours. I wonder what made you change over the weeks. I guess the last thing you want to hear right now, is me telling you how you should behave around me. I'm not trying to bore you though. I'm only telling you the guy I grew fond of over the weeks have changed. You've become so emotional lately and you take little things too seriously these days. Sometimes, I'm just not in the mood to talk around you cause the look on your face alone is a marking scheme. Please try to let things slide. Don't keep every detail of things I do to offend you in your head. Else this friendship won't last. I can see it's end already.

This matter

Benny: Ivy, I guess you've realized of late that this matter isn't really of my interest anymore. Wouldn't say I'm fed-up cause that's not the case. I'm just not into this back and forth stuff no more. I mean, if there is a future, there would have been progress by now. So I think is better we stay friends as we are. Cause going a step further only brings us two step backwards. I still do have interest in you, no doubt. So you should make up your mind on the way forward cause I have. And I thought you should know.

A bite of it

Sonia: I actually planned on keeping this a secret but since you asked why not let you know. Don't take this the wrong way. But I do miss that very moment when you decided to ignore me. Putting me on airplane mode in your cute head and pretending you never saw my numerous text messages and never-ending missed calls. But I also do love the fact that you are back for the good reasons. Being that you bring out the best in me. Alongside comes the negatives as well. Thus, you always put your needs first. Not that I'm calling you selfish but the effort you put in relating to matters of my heart has proven futile. And I don't like the feeling that comes along with that. Giving me a lot to think about. It's not necessary trying to prove a point. Please kindly be yourself by trying to improve on you like I'm doing on me.

Irrotational Feelings II

Young Adult's Group Chat
Vivianne: Men will always be men, I have friends and they tell me what their guys do to them. Its awful. Barry: Indeed, birds of a feather flock together. You, yourself, you are attracted to bad guys so don't complain. Vivianne: You think you've talked sense err?. Judith: I think some men control themselves better than others and that's the only difference. I haven't met any different guy so far. John: The baby is at fault. It caused this whole problem in the first place. Florence: No wonder, you are called John. Glenn: I laugh enter Accra mall. Erica: So no one has said anything sensible so far? Gordon: Were you expecting a different outcome? Raymond: If you need answers please see a professional, not here. @Erica.

Irrotational Feelings

Young Adult's Group Chat
Question of the day: A man almost cheats on his wife with a maid she hired in less than a month to babysit her new born. Who is at fault?. Alisha: Is the woman. Because if the wife hadn't gone in for a maid, nothing would've happened. Raymond: Then if God had not created the fruit. Adam and Eve wouldn't have sinned. Gerrard: Laugh out loud!. Erica: For me, is the man. All men are the same. They just cannot stick to one faithful woman. Jeremy: Shaking my head!. In this 21st Century, you still have this mentality. Please upgrade your system. Liliane: Jeremy, you being a good guy doesn't mean all guys are good. Gordon: Same way one girl doesn't represent the whole girl population. Erica, say the guys you've met. And how did you come to such a conclusion anyway?. To be Continued.

Is about Hilda

Lincoln: Hello Josephine, I'm about to tell you a serious issue. Don't laugh!. Lol!. Before that kindly lemme know if Hilda has any fear of commitment due to past issues okay. Cause I think something is off the hook I'm not aware of. Lemme enlighten you a little on the matter. The whole story, in summary, is that Hilda prefers text message proposal to facial or phone call proposal. Which I have no problem with. The main issue is, she has been in previous relationships through the same means that didn't last. Presumably, breaking up with someone who proposed through a text message isn't really a big of a deal, I figured. And I do want ours to last. But she still prefers a text message proposal, with the notion, the other means I prefer makes her feel weird. Josephine, what do you think I'm getting myself into?. And what is your take on this? Be sincere and straightforward Okay.

A Third Sense

Duke: It intrigues me every time you able to sense something's wrong. At first, I pinned it on coincidence but after it recurring severally it wasn't funny anymore. Lol!. It's actually still stuns me anytime you do that. I wonder what actually triggers you to try call me within those times. Cause, the timing is always right. I mean, any day I put my phone on airplane mode or switch off my data for sometime to clear my head for a while. I see your message after a while which always goes like this, "Hey, hope you good?, been trying to reach you. Call me when you get this message". I just thank God for your life.

Pull the Trigger

Portia: I'm grateful to God for the woman He's moulded me into. Experiences, lessons, deterrent examples, instances have had great influence on my life. Some would admire you for your personality sake, others would only lust after you. Few would make their intentions clear, many you would have to figure out on your own. But at the end of the day, you are responsible for the decisions you make. You are the only human who knows your true intentions. All what others can do is assume unless revealed unto by God. Just try not to keep repeating the same mistakes. I'm begging you.

Thanks for noticing

Frederick: I wouldn't dispute the fact that I'm an emotional guy. Not extremely though, but I do take little things into consideration. Especially, when someone's attitude towards me takes the slightest turn. Regardless, I don't take things personal. I let go of things pretty easily. Cause my heart and mind is my own, therefore I choose not to stress them out too much. People and our selfish desires makes it staggeringly effortful putting others first. And showing just a little gratitude for the little things people do for us becomes another knotty problem. Riveting how complaining and finding excuses comes at ease.

Hey Come Online

Ines: Where have you been all day?. I  called, sent a message and many more but to no avail. Anyways, you really missed on a memorable event. I'm sure reading what transpired on the group page now wouldn't be as entrancing as it was, reading and experiencing it live at the same time. I guess you can't wait to hear about it. Let me explain before you start reading from the group page, else you wouldn't understand. Why ain't my messages ticking blue anymore?. I'm sure you've ditched me and gone ahead to start reading from the group page right?. Shaking my head!. Anyways, what happened was, Kevin proposed to Anne in the group page. Lol!. I know right!. Now go ahead and read from the group page.

About The New Guy II

Jackie: Which guy are you talking about?. Oscar, you mean. But you two already know each other or?. Oh!, I get it now. I guess he got your number from a friend just to say hello. Isn't that sweet of him?. It's a good thing you mentioned you are dating though. Most girls often leads the guy on, only to tell him after he's hooked up unto her that she's dating. Which I think is a very bad habit. Oscar is definitely a nice guy. Abeg leave him for we the single ones. Lol!. I can see you two chat too often, which is a very bad look for Mike. If you would only see things from his perspective. How would you feel if you were Mike?. Anyways, I'm not trying to hate or anything but notwithstanding, I have been crushing on Oscar for a while now. If you would hook a girl up, I would be very grateful. #smileyface

About This New Guy

Gloria: I know this may sound weird and all. Cause I just met this new guy and the way we just clicked, there will always be that feeling he's the one until proven otherwise. Besides, Jackie, I am very conscious of the fact that I'm already dating and I do love Mike, trust me. And I'm not leaving him for this new guy cause Mike and I have come a long way and I don't see why I should start all over again with another guy. When ultimately all guys seem the same. They start by making you happy everyday and always either texting or calling you. Then after they've gotten your attention, they stop checking up on you frequently as they use to. Ain't ready for that journey again actually.

I cannot change

Lily: I cannot tell why but sometimes I get the feeling that Trey doesn't really know me as he says. I mean he does know but he hasn't really discovered certain obvious aspects of me. It could be that he has but hasn't taken notice of it or he wants me to blend with his kind of lifestyle. For example; He likes to play around with certain topics and wishes I also play along just for fun but I cannot do that. Cause I wouldn't be able to tell when things begin to get out of hand or when one of us gets carried away so I just decide not to play along at all. And he would always say that I take things too seriously. I mean that's what grown ups do right. Laugh out loud!. I mean I'm growing and certain things I find not interesting. This may sound annoying but he should at least try compromise with me on just this one thing.That's all I ask. What do you think Tina?

Having a different understanding

It's not what we go through that really matters but how we relate to what we go through that crowns it all. That is what makes someone's story different from another. They maybe going through the same problem but how they deal with the same problem differently depends on their understanding. How we understand things is what sets us apart from others. We maybe twins but the way we understand things is what makes us do what we do and that makes our response to the same situation different. We may look the same, react the same sometimes but process things differently in our heads.

How people really are

One technique of knowing how people really are, is taking note of how they relate to the people or things they do not need. That is, how they treat the maid in their house, taxi driver and many more. You shouldn't take that lightly at all cause there will come a time when they don't really need anything from you anymore and they would start treating you the same way. You may be special to them today but remember, time changes and so does people. So one thing you should really take note around someone you like before you mistakenly fall in love with them is how they relate with people they need nothing from. Don't forget this.

I guess I'm too focused now.

You always wished I would be more focused in life. Now you prayers have been answered and you complaining about me not being around often to chat with or always quick to cut the line whenever you call. So it's not myself I guess.I still do call you don't I? Don't make it seem as if I don't try at all or I don't make any effort to chat with you. I do reach out to you, the least chance I get. Please don't let me go that easily. I'm only building our future and that requires hard work but remember it won't always be like this. I will keep you update as and when I get the least chance to. For that, I'm sure of. Hang in there a little while for me please.

Don't hold back your anger towards me

I understand very well if you are disappointed in me. Cause I know for sure how bad I let you down at the time you needed me to stand up for myself. I saw the happiness on your face when you saw me make an effort to rise up again. How you made a great deal out of it. And you went ahead to encourage me that I could do it cause I have done it before and all I needed to do was to sit down and put my head to it. I knew what was expected of me and how high the stakes was. Yet all I did was sit back and relax, not taking things seriously as expected of me. And now look at how I let you down again. I don't deserve to be treated with sympathy. After all the sense you spoke unto me, I still decided to do things anyhow. How ungrateful my actions are. I assured you of my excellence and all I did was to present you with something mediocre. Don't hold back your anger towards me. Pour out your wrath upon me and I'm sure that would knock some sense into me again.

I may not be back for a while

This is not me saying goodbye. This is me giving myself some time out. Therefore, you may not see or hear from me for a while. But I will surely be back. Don't know why I keep losing focus on the things that are important and putting all my hopes on things that wouldn't last anyway. Hence, I need to sit down, find time to figure things out for myself and why I keep messing up especially when everyone is looking up to me. While I play around and before I know it, it's too late and I end up disappointing everyone. I know for sure how capable I am, yet I play around too much. While others play around but still get the job done at the end of the day. All I do is mess up at the end of the day. Time to grow up.

Try give me the benefit of the doubt

Franca: I know the look on my face says otherwise. But it is really nothing. Just don't try to see through every facial expression or gesture I make. It's obvious you know me that well but your predictions cannot always be right. So please try to give me the benefit of the doubt when I try to disagree with some of your discoveries about me. I may seem uncertain or confused about how I feel but deep down I know what I truly feel. The only problem is me not being able to express it. But I do love the way you care about me and always look out for me. Regardless, the fact that, I don't take things seriously and keep on repeating the same mistakes. Allowing opportunities to pass me by. I've got myself together now, even though it may seem too late on the project I let pass me by on two occasions. When will I learn?.

The Lord works in mysterious ways

Alfred: I would call this my testimony even though it may not sound as one for you, it is to me. Anyways, hear me out. I sat in a taxi last Sunday to church. And on my way, I told God; Dear God, is left with my last 2ghana cedis. And if I give it to the driver I wouldn't get any money for offering. Please do your thing. Funny as it may sound, the driver actually forgot to take money after dropping me off. So I gave the money as offering. The Lord works in mysterious way. Laugh out loud!.

Three Musketeers

Leslie: This is very interesting.  Okay, the one the left is Lawrecia. Followed by Jessica and then Aquossuyah. I knew them already but I got to really know them a few days ago. With Lawrecia, we ain't close. She sees me and stares, no wave, no talking, she walks by with a smile. Aquossuyah is just funny. She is always laughing and walks like a daddy's girl. As if nothing worries her. With Jessica, at first she was giving me straight faces. So I couldn't tell whether to say hello or wink or wave or give a thumps up. The interesting thing is, they are all roommates. And that gets me confused whenever I enter their room. Cause I forget straight away whom I actually went to visit.

I can relate

Andy: I was just like this boy when I was in primary school. He reminds me so much of myself, including the fact that he is cute and all. Just like him, all I did was observe. Whilst others were busy talking and misbehaving, I just looked around and took notice of everyone. Taking notice of every gesture people in my interest list made. And with that I could predict what they were into and also wasn't their thing. Giving funny and sincere comments in my head. How interesting but boring I was during those days. Which has had a great effect on me currently. But I have seen much improvement over the years. Cause before, I could sit beside a lady through out a bus trip and not alter a word. I would only do two things; smile and hum to music. But now, try me. Laugh out loud!.

Especially

Pearl: I don't know if it's just me but I'm so much into cute kids especially boys. I just cannot help but take pictures with them. I remember very well when my brother and I were young, he was so cute and we would take pictures every Sunday at church and at any outing we went to. Which made him so much on my display photo on Facebook that people started suspecting and claiming he wasn't my brother. Laugh out loud!. But now, the gym has transformed him into some hit-man. It's all good though. Cause he still lightens up my picture with his muscles and six packs even though I'm not so much of a fan.

Inside My Head

Achiaa: I'm very sure this is the current status inside my head. Cause I can feel my head weighing me down these days. Too much data stored. And that makes me forget things easily. Sometimes I can walk to my wardrobe and just be standing there wondering what I actually needed. Positively, I forget unnecessary arguments and quarrels I had with someone. So I can meet them and be talking to them like nothing happened and they would be staring awkwardly. Then I would later ask why and they will be like, "didn't we just fight yesterday?". And I will be like, oh that!, forget it. Negatively, I would be having a group meeting and would totally forget about it or I would let mom know I would collect the dresses from the seamstress the next day. But I would wake up and be in bed listening to music like nothing is at stake. I really do have issues.
