I usually forgot my hairbrush whenever I visited him, so I used his shoe brush to brush my hair. I have natural hair. It’s always trimmed low. I went to his house, took his shoe brush, and it had strands of long hair. There was also another toothbrush that looked like it had been used…
The first fight we had, it was because I bought a rice cooker. He came to meet me cooking with it, and while I was excited about my first big purchase, he saw it as a “distraction.” I questioned what he meant by that. “You are going to leave school soon. You don’t need a…
I was dating a pastor when I was twenty years old. It started as prayers and later sauntered into, “God says you’re the one for me.” I didn’t hear God say that to me, but I agreed to date him, hoping what God had said would lead to a beautiful ending. He was my first…

First time visiting his place, and he asked me to take an Uber because he lived in a new site that was difficult to access with public transport. I called him when I was on my way to his place. It was around 9 p.m., and the place was dark. We got to a black…
Right after SHS, he found me and made me fall in love with him. I was seventeen, going on eighteen. I knew about love, but I didn’t know how much it burned or how it led people astray from their future. He was mature, had a job, and had a business going on. I loved…
