Brazen with Vanessa

Helpless

(Previously published on Naijastories)

Love me, you said.
Want me, you said.
Need me, you said.
Foolishly, I did all that and now I’m lost, drowning in the chaos that is you.

On this table, there are some men that have decided to keep messing with our feelings and not commit to us. They hide under the umbrella of “The Talking Stage”. Yes, you read that! It’s dating but due to the pandemic, you can’t go out or travel as you used to; so, many hearts are stuck “talking” to their romantic interests online. The catch is, you don’t know if he really wants to see you but can’t because of the pandemic or if he’s really just fooling you and using the pandemic as an excuse.

Mother

They say a woman’s place is in the kitchen of a man – her father, but preferably, her husband. The perfect quality they say is the presence of the gag in her mouth. One without a gag will run you down with just a sting of her tongue. That was my mother, the woman without a gag.

Money, Money, Money

There’s this saying that when there is money, there is love and when money goes out the window so does the love.

To Every Woman

Strong, protective, intelligent, full of discernment, are just few words that describe The Woman. Of course, we can also be soft, kind, compassionate, loving…here’s to us! 🥂
