The quintessential woman!

No guilt in life, no fear in death!

[The quintessential woman! @Thereallami]

I’m finally documenting my love stories (the way I experienced them).

I hope to finish someday and share the manuscript with each character before I publish.

I already know who takes the last chapter! 🥰

It’s a long WIP & might not be published until I’m old and Grey

"Love is the ultimate paradox - to love someone is to offer them the power to hurt you, yet in that vulnerability lies the sublime beauty of truly living." - Lamlam, 2024

The first time I encountered this song was in the Titanic, a huge ship is about to sink, three men make peace with their souls, bring out their violins and play this hymn: nearer to thee.

Why you ask are Christians able to live with such radical conviction that death isn’t horrible anymore and they can go through it with grace? They watch their God do it and come out on the other side of it, and they have received that life.

Death is no longer a master of the guillotine, but a fine tailor, who gives us new clothes to be with our saviour forever.

To have or not to have…

[Elnathan John @elnathan_john]

You know, I have had many regrets. But when I heard Ethan Hawke say the one who is in love always wins, I don't just believe it. I choose to believe it. I believe it in my heart. Not in my head. I am not looking for proof. I just believe it. It is the closest I come to religion. I believe in the deepest part of my heart that the one who is in love always wins. Because in this shit world, to feel this, to truly feel it, to have your heart and soul buried in this feeling, even for a while, is the best feeling in the world. And maybe they turn out to be assholes and tricksters and idiots. But in that moment when your heart flew, to the stars, there is nothing that can take that place. Truly, the one who is in love always wins. If you deceive, you always lose, even where you get temporary gain. You always lose. Because you are empty. And what is life if after all you have gotten you end up empty. I'd rather win and be sad. Than be empty.

But poetry, beauty, romance, love… these are what we stay alive for!

Last Substack of the year… 2025 has been kind to me.🥰

I love how food is (part of) an African woman’s tool for expressing love…

My grandmother sending us food because we couldn’t make it to theirs, my mom feeding us, and now, me feeding my loved ones! 🥰

Go to your calendar and look at February 2026 and how perfect it is.

It’s easier they’re both MacBooks..

I LOVE that I can copy stuff on my phone and paste on either laptop.

I love that I can send web pages from one device to another.

I love that I can airdrop files/images/videos from one device to another! 💪🏾💃🏾

[The quintessential woman! @Thereallami]

I have 2 laptops with multiple tabs opened on multiple windows across multiple profiles.

Each window reps a particular project I’m working on.

Somehow I just can’t open a different tab/window on a new device (my brain won’t let me! 😭)

I promise I know where everything is!🤣

Tonight, after Tennis, I danced as I walked back home. Mid dance, I heard some noises and took
my earpieces off so I can be aware of my surroundings.

As I turned, there were fireworks and I promise, the moment felt all too magical! 🥹

michelle obama said you have to know how to exist when life is just life.

she said “sometimes it’s like, this is not exciting. i’m not winning. i’m not losing. i’m not achieving. it’s not a party. i don’t have friends around everyday.

most of life is just the nothing in the middle. most of life is just ordinary. you gotta be happy being a little bored.” and I felt that.
