I sincerely hope I’m not the only one that experiences this, but do you know when you’re reading a psychological thriller, or something sort of deep crime book, and then it gets to…

I’m pretty laid back. It’s one thing I clocked about myself from when I was younger, and until recently, hadn’t changed. When I say laid back in this context, it mostly has to do w…

“Oh, I don’t know who you are,” she said, squinting her eyes hard, and cocking her head from side to side like she was fighting a battle that I couldn't see, and losing it. But I…

I was going to write about this days back, but I felt reluctant at some point. Veering a bit off topic to ask, just how much does Hive know about us, and how much should they keep …

*And even if half the world loved you, what really is your gain?* It’s something I'd been pondering on a lot recently. How fleeting human nature is. How we lie to ourselves over …

*I used to love the darkness, but I don’t any more. Cause the dark reminds me of you. But it’s weird because the sunlight, as well, reminds me of you. The sunny look in your eyes w…

Have you ever been on the verge of quitting, and then you get reminded on why you should stay? I’ve been busy trying to build myself on other platforms other than Hive, and then I…

I remember being in my book slump, which should be about the fourth book slump I've had this year alone, if not more, and so I came on Hive, and asked my fellow Bibliophiles for re…

I’m the kind of person to make very opinionated takes on my WhatsApp status, and something happened recently that made me understand that I’ll be giving yet another take. But I d…

The voices were faint. But they were urgent. Insistent. For the life of me, I couldn’t fathom why anyone would be calling me so late at night. I was safe in my bed. Safe in my h…

Heaving a sigh of relief as I write this, essentially because I’ve been on this series for about a month now, if not more, so I’m super glad to be done. It’s the second season of W…

I was transported to a dark time. This should be a happy post, or it’s supposed to be. But something happened yesterday that made me sad, incredibly reflective but also humbled me …

Today was probably the best day to write this. I mean, when's the best time to write something cathartic than the midnight after an absolutely shit day? -------------------------…

It’s really five years and although I have been here for only three, it’s been such a delight growing into womanhood from this platform. I remember when I joined Hive in late 2022,…

There’s a thin line, Nana would say. A thin line between good and evil. A thin line between love and hate. A thin line between zealousness and overweening. A thin line between sel…

I read a poem recently that talked about the difference between moments and memories. What are moments? The now. What are memories? Pictures and crystallizations of the *now* in ou…

Today was going to be a long day. I knew it even before I opened my eyes, and the moment I registered that my eyes were open, it was already too late. Barely a nanosecond later, …

There are movies you can’t help seeing with zero expectations. Because that’s the thing, you do not have expectations. Maybe except simply enjoying yourself or at most, passing tim…

I saw a video about an hour ago that made me so sad, so incredibly sad, and I thought I’d talk about it. Because it’s saddening just how much of the truth we like to conceal. How m…

Since my exams were over, my aim has been to seize my happiness however way I can. In the people I spend time with, the things I do, the movies I see, and basically how I go about …
