Rekya's Flavors

Some people are confirmed time wasters. They have nothing to do with their time so they have no conscience in their intrusion on yours. They get you to believe in them only for them to keep you hanging. They are selfish, they only think of themselves and what they will benefit from you all the while having other options. When they find someone with more benefits than you, they toss you aside and only remember you when they need something from you. They recognizable by their flighty attitude, they change their mind at will, they are unfocused, they change plans often and are so unpredictable. They make other plans and don't carry you along until you notice their absence and reach out to them and that's when they grudgingly tell you what they are doing, if ever. Listen to me, stop being a doormat to people. Be nice and kind to those who are same to you. Stop being a matyr, you will only get stoned to death. Listen to me, if you don't think of yourself, people would hardl...

Sometimes, we look back on a past relationship and we smile, even wistfully. Other times, it is a whole lot of negative emotions; anger, pain, sadness, bitterness or even nausea. Bad things happen, this we know, and most of the time, there's no easy way to tell someone we are leaving them, there's no comforting way to hear it, but no matter how things turn out, if we must leave that person, we really should try to be as kind as possible. We really should learn to not plant grudges in people's hearts for us. If we must leave, we should do so as amicably as possible. If we truthfully tell that person that it is not working out and we need to move on, I believe they would understand. Maybe not immediately but eventually, they will recognize what we did and respect us for it. What are you putting into your relationships? Are you making quality memories? The kind of memories that would evoke warmth after the love is gone? Would you be sorely missed if you left or would yo...

Just thinking about how worthless feelings are, how badly they can ruin a person, especially when you have no control over them. Feelings have cost many people so much. Feelings are capable of crippling the most level-headed person. It can cause the most intelligent person to fail woefully at their best. Logic is the quickest way to climb. The more logical you are, the more successful you are. I have noticed that most successful people hardly ever indulge in frivolities, they discard quickly anything or anyone that would slow down their progress. They come off as selfish, mechanical. The emotional or nice person on the other hand gets burned over and over again because they have their head up in the sky. They shy away from reason. They see it as it is but they refuse to accept it, especially when it concerns them. Oh, do they give the best advice! Which is true of the saying that the people who give the best advice need it the most. These are the people who are always badly ...

Mercy eyes were filled with dismay at the state of the sitting room she had tidied up just a few minutes ago. It was now in disarray, everything out of position. The centre table was upturned, the cushions were on the floor and to worsen everything, the contents of a cereal box was lavishly scattered on the centre rug. And the culprits, two little boys, George and Mickey were standing in the middle of the room, grinning sheepishly. They were covered in cereal. "Which kain tin be dis na? Wetin I do una wey make una hate me like dis? Why una dey make my work hard like dis na ehn?" She lamented, her arms flailing wildly. Mickey ran to her and wrapped his arms around her waist. He was four years old and adorable. "I love you Aunty Mercy" he grinned adoringly at her. "Me too, Aunty Mercy." George called from where he pulled at the strands on the centre rug. Mercy looked at them and sighed in exasperation. She loved them too but they drove her craz...

Who Beta Pass? ***** February 13th After a hard day's work, Okiemute is relieved to come home to his wife and children. As he enters the compound, he sights his neighbour, Oshare running into the latrine. Okiemute: (under his breath) With dat big yansh wey dat man carry, dat tohlet go full today. He gets to his front door and makes to bring out his key but the door flings open to reveal his wife, Alero. Okiemute: (smiling pleasantly) my darling Alero: (hugs him) honey, wehcome. He removes his shoes and enters the room. They live in a Face-Me-I-Face-You house. Their room is one of the large ones, large enough for them to turn it into a room and parlour. An old but clean curtain serves as a wall between the sitting room and the bedroom. The place is neat and tidy. A wonderful aroma emanates from the bedroom area. His dinner is ready. He looks at his wife and smiles again. Okiemute: My love, my one and only selected love, how you dey na? You fine die! See as ...

There's really not one perfect person for anyone but there is that one person who wants to DO right by you. When you find that person, you will begin to laugh at all you had to go through in the hands of those who weren't ready to do right by you because the picture you've always had in your mind of true love is finally being played out right in front of you and by you and your amazing co-star. Wait for it. Be strong enough to let go of what is NOT working and patient enough to wait for what you deserve.
