About the Beauty Behind the Madness

''Secure your wig! Secure your wig!'' Uju screamed! This might just be the intro for my biography!

But let's not talk about that today, let's talk about depression and anxiety.

I like to shy away from the topic because it opens fresh wounds, but today I will touch on it just a bit.

We will start with Depression for dummies, what to say and what not to a person battling with depression.

What not to a person battling with depression. 

1. If you are suicidal just kill yourself! 

2. Snap out of it, it's not that deep.

3. You are using it as an excuse

4. I see no reason why you should be depressed.

5. Can't you just  be happy?

All the things listed above have been said to me, because I speak a lot about Mental health and Depression. So don't say I'm dramatic.

Things to say:

I'm here if you need anything!

What would you like to talk about?


If you can't talk to someone without  making them feel like they put themselves in that situation, you can leave them alone.
The two albums that helps me through depression back in 2015 was Beauty Behind the Madness by The Weekend and Bed of stone by Asa.

I'm in a good place now and I'm happy now. Here's a picture from the album -

I Come To You As A Woman

If I got a dollar for everytime someone has come to me as a woman, I'll have 3 dollars. For those of you who don't know what that means I'll explain. So," Coming to you as a woman " is a term used when "another woman" who is either having an affair with your man OR  you are having an affair with her man, calls you out. The process usually starts with snooping around and finding out who you are and reaching out to you. Here are some reasons why some ladies might come to you as a woman: They are getting cheated on with you - that gotta hurt. They are currently "dining" with your partner and can't let you be happy in peace. You both have the same "d*ck appointment". And this is how it usually starts - Hi *inserts name here*, I want to talk to you about Ted. I come to you as a woman who just found out she got played by a man she loves ......BLAH BLAH BLAH.  Your first reply should be to block her and stay awa...

 If you missed my memoirs last week check here .    And please don’t start a lecture of don’t visit boys when you don’t want to do anything with them. At some point I almost lost my virginity, not exactly willingly. First I must Thank God for that day and second I must tell you the story. Me I was okay with visiting boys; at home and even in their hostels. Well it took one day and I lost every bit of trust in going to a guy’s house. I’ll be very dramatic and detailed, one faithful day I paid a friend a visit a "supposed crush"; we’ll call him “Douche” for the sake of this story. Somehow we were kissing then he asked 'Are you a Virgin'.  My countenance changed immediately, so he wants sex, first time here oh! And I hate answering such question but I had to, so I said yes... Mr. Douche looked at his wristwatch and said by this time of the year, you must be joking in his words “pick one remove your top or your jeans with no argument” I pulled my ...
