HAPPINESS WRITES "HEED"

 This was the umpteenth time🕰️ I was looking up the admission list 📋hoping that some sort of miracle would happen and I would find my name amongst the other lucky students. Apparently, it seems like my miracle will never come to fruition. Oh gosh🤦‍♀️! Father, please help me!😩 Am I destined to be an illiterate!? I shouted out of frustration as I broke down in tears.😭 I was the perfect description of a Jesus girl. I really could not place what exactly was wrong.I had prayed🙇🏼‍♀, fasted, and even sown seeds🌱 of faith. My friends were all preparing to leave for school🎒 for the commencement of a new academic session. Why does it seem like my own admission will have 'K leg'.😔 I continued lamenting, venting out my frustrations until I willingly surrendered to the power of nature... I slept off😴😴 *** Dreaming...💭 "Hey babes, please can you join me, I'm running an errand for my mum" my next-door neighbor who doubles as my very close friend asked. "O...

My name is Samuel👦 and I'm an orphaned errand boy. (Smiles) Wondering why I introduced myself like that? Yes, that is my profession and I believe in hard 💪work. Mrs Bassey👩‍🦱 has sworn to make my life a living hell😩 and my uncle's indifference spoke🗣️ aloud of his undying support to his wife's misdemeanor. I became friends with hoodlums on the street of Lagos. I am not a bad 🦹‍♂️guy, I desire a good life but I was just so unlucky☹️! ---------------- "We've concluded all documentations📃 and all we need from you is your consent" (Mrs Carson said😁, her voice mixed with excitement and uncertainty😒 if I would say yes or no) I stood there transfixed😟, I was bodily present but very far from reality. But wait fesss, how did I get here🤔🤔...( thinking) ---------- "Alaba rú, customer dey find you" ( the sales girl informed me) ( Alaba rú means load carrier in Yoruba language) And the customer turns out to be Mrs Carson👵. "You look s...

HAPPINESS WRITES: THE FALLACY OF "JUST A LITTLE..."

      "...The gospel is the power of God unto salvation". Romans 1:16. Power💪 is the capacity to cause something to happen, or the ability to effect a change. Therefore, a man 👨‍🦰 cannot change from what he is used to except there is a power that can prevail... ........................................ The room was filled with thick silence, and one could clearly hear the rhythm of our heartsbeat. Lara was sobbing like a child whose mother just passed on. 2 DAYS AGO... The sensual aura of the movie Lara was fixed on headed to more intense scenes. As the lead character, Theresa blushed as Remi teased her with: "Do you know why I love looking at your face, Tee?" Theresa's pink blush glowed as she responded with a cute smile: 'Why Babe?' "Because of how perfectly your lips sits... Jeez!!! The roundness of your lips makes me drool. I love you Tee..." (Advancing seductively towards her, Remi locked lips 💋  with her...) ...

Hello, lovelies! So good to have you on this week's episode of #HappinessWrites. My sincere appreciation for all the comments and shares, I say 'THANK YOU'  and "Amen" to your prayers.

I guess I'll use that as the title of this piece; because it's aimed at giving a head-up to the disappointed, 😔 downtrodden, 😞 and the brokenhearted💔... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Moving down to the city of Calabar, I had all my options laid out on how I was gonna survive. Pre-degree days weren't financially captivating, so I was determined not to have a repeat. mehn! I needed something better... Mum had advised me not to e...

"Why would Stella lie against me. She basically twisted the story to suit her purpose. But then to what end is she doing this...?😤 Or could it be that she understood our conversation that way? Then that's so 'backward!'" (She muttered, Moving the pawn aimlessly on the chess-board of her thoughts). "But I'm truly wearied 😫of housing this bitter feelings... It hurts badly, it really does!" (She broke down, crying)😭 Bimbo kept complaining and whimpering simultaneously. "Babe, it's okay!!! Haba!😟 You've been whining the whole day!! 😏 ( Her face expressing both annoyance and compassion for her friend) "Girl, It's obvious this feeling is wearing you down😞  and taking away your peace... so why not just let go?"💁 (Grace Adviced in consolation) "It's so hard!! It's so hard Grace!!" 😣 (She cuts in) "I've tried several times but then it looks like I'm stucked here. Anytime I se...
