Why do people cry? - Late night thoughts

Why do people cry?
Why do people produce liquid that falls down their face from their eyes?


Some say pain, 
An emotion of hurt so deep your voice alone can’t explain.
Some say joy.
True happiness that makes you speechless and so emotional your eyes begin to leak out oil.
Some say fear,
Not knowing if, who, when or how to go about something and it makes you feel powerless, a feeling that brings despair 


I wonder sometimes
If all tears are the same in their essence for all emotions. 
If they flowed the same, tasted the same, came from the same source.
Did they have individual elements of fear, joy or pain in them separately. 
I wonder sometimes, 
I wonder what goes on on the inside

Bants of Love (with Suzanne)

Ever had someone tell you they loved you after one random, short and insignificant encounter? lol Things dey happen sha. :)
On this episode, Suzanne and I talk about "Love" in all it's glory and share some of our experiences as well.
It's a really chilled episode, so get cozy and listen up. We hope you have as much fun listening as we had when recording it.


Feel free to share your thoughts or Love stories as well. Don't be a stranger.

Roleplay - TTP Stories

Gina gets a little more than she bargained for in an attempt to role play with her Boyfriend.
The episode tends to bring elements of storytelling and narration, humour and shine a little light on the fact that we humans can be clueless sometimes and miss the actual point.
It was a fun episode to make. I hope you enjoy.

Unlucky - Late night thoughts

One of those thoughts that hit you from nowhere and puts things a little more in perspective.


UNLUCKY
They said they’d stay forever
They said they’d never leave
We would face the world together
I wore my heart on my sleeve


My days were brighter, my nights warmer
I looked and felt good on the inside
There was no other feeling better 
It was all love from this side.


They made everything better
I felt like I could take on the world with them by my side. 
I felt invincible, with so much power


I don fall in love, Again I was off the streets. 
Obsessed with this new feeling, to all my demeanor screamed Who de breettt!


But I guess I did too much or said something wrong.
I loved too hard or maybe not enough?
2 days turned to 2 months and from them my phone never rang


The beauty I felt within had long died
I felt useless, unwanted and undeserving
Oh how I cried. 


How could one go from having pure bliss
For real this time, not the biscuit 
To feeling like a burden they need to release
That’s just an evil plot twist 


Did I once more just lose myself in love or did they lose me.
What’s the point in all this?
Is there a better love out there again
Or I guess maybe, I’m just unlucky



They said they’d stay forever
They said they’d never leave
Ogbeni! Love can hurt you
It’s a part of the deal


So sit tight and wait for Cupid to reload
You’re not unlucky.
And anyone who lets you go?
Na them miss road.





Stay hopeful

Toxic - Late night thoughts

One of those thoughts that hit you from nowhere and puts things a little more in perspective.


Toxic 
I looked in the mirror the other day and I saw a man
He looked a lot like me, And I swear he was fine, Gaddamn!


But he spoke and acted different
His words were hurtful
He looked down on people, was insensitive and cunning too. 


That couldn’t be me I said.
I am nice and thoughtful 
Or is that just an image in my head


I know I shouldn’t have said those words to that waiter the other day.
I know I should have held the elevator for that genitor at work today 
Should I have not insulted that random lady’s picture on Facebook 
Do you mean I shouldn’t have laughed at those disabled kids trying to do the legwork?


But they had it coming didn’t they
Why should I have to not be myself because they’d feel some type of way?


I mean, it was funny wasn’t it?
I have my freedom of speech don’t I?
Am I now responsible for how they feel about what I say?


(Question)
No you’re not.
But if it was you, on the receiving end?


I looked in the mirror today and I saw a man
He looked a lot like me, And I swear he was fine, Gaddamn!


But he spoke and acted different
His words were hurtful
He looked down on people, was insensitive and conning too. 


That couldn’t be me I said.
I am nice and thoughtful 
Or is that just an image in my head
But it was me, 
I always saw what I wanted to see instead


I had just seen a side of me that wasn’t so sleek.


Look in the mirror today
Look deep,
You may see it too.
You too might be toxic
