Does same-sex love bother you? Do you have a problem with people having Mohawks? Do you hate the pimples on Nebuchadnezzar’s face? Does the fact that Camilla has no ass irk you? Do you hate that some of us listen to Pink Floyd? Does the fact that we love beer annoy you? Do you have a problem with people who read or write erotica? Do you hate the fact that old ladies are turning up for public functions in pajamas? (PS. I am the old ladies. The old ladies is me.) Yes? OMG! You answered yes to all this? Okay, Karen. Thank you very much for sharing with us your concerns, but here’s another round ..read more

I get messages from people – my friends, strangers, and probably Trump’s grandpa, too. They tell me, ‘Anne, I love your lifestyle. I like how you do your thing. I love the good life you’re living. You got it all figured out.’ Bollocks! I’m here to trash all that. I’ve got nothing figured out. I pass through most of my days in zombie-mode, autopilot, or whatever the heck else you care to call it. Almost every single day, I doubt myself, doubt my writing, ask myself who tf I think I, why I’m walking this earth, and a lot else. When someone says they love me, I wonder why they should love a deaf ..read more

Inner children trapped inside adult bodies by Alexander Milov When was the last time you interacted with your inner child? You don’t remember? Okay. Recently? Excellent! So many people out there have been estranged from their inner selves and it’s so heartbreaking. Hold up! I’m not pointing fingers. Life has a way of turning tables, and sometimes, there’s no way we can stop what had to happen from happening. Either way, don’t let go of that innocent and playful child in you. Keep him/her close to your bosom, play in the rain with him/her, run down a hill screaming and shouting like a maniac, d ..read more

I’ve met quite an impressive number of “I’d first have to eat Hagrid’s boots before I ask that Oompa Loompa anything” people. Well, I don’t know the “Oompa Loompa’s” fault. Maybe Tony insists that the “Oompa Loompa” is a horrible person. Maybe Tony is right. And maybe Tony is just being biased. I don’t know what happened between Tony and this interesting “Oompa Loompa”, but I’ll be very happy to tell you that if I were Tony and this “Oompa Loompa” had something I badly needed, I’d gladly put the disputes aside because, well, what the hell?! I could die tomorrow and never have what I want. (Pu ..read more

Prioritize yourself, then everything else will follow. Does your dream/vision for the future give you butterflies in the stomach? Does it hype you so much that it dizzies you? Yes? Okay. Are you struggling to make it happen? No? WHY? You don’t have time? Your family said no? You’ve been convinced that it takes ages? Lemme tell you something. Life is short, and I’m not saying, ‘Life is short, let’s go smoke pot.’ But if you wanted to try it out, I wouldn’t stop you, because, what the hell!? Either way, it’s important to live our dreams because that’s just why they are there in the first place…t ..read more

“Do not give up. You’ve got this.” “You love them. Stick it out.” “There’s money in it. Get woke and do it.” “Your mama, dada or nana said to. Don’t let them down.” The list is endless. Don’t give up on this. Don’t give up on that. Well, wait, honorable madam sir. Hear me out. A great number of people are emphasizing not giving up, and yes, persistence is great, it’s amazing, but what the hell are you slogging at? What exactly is it that you’re ever more so ready to give up but just can’t because you were made to believe that quitting is for losers? “Do not give up. You’ve got this.” Sometime ..read more

Have you ever been part of a group of ambitious people? Okay, yes, you might have been a part of them BUT ALSO NOT BEEN A PART OF THEM. Whereas they were constantly learning, trying out various growth strategies and making progress, you felt stuck, clueless as to what was happening and vaguely aware of being left behind by the crew. Of course, the question that creeps into your mind in such moments is, ‘What am I doing wrong?’ You’ll blame yourself for not doing enough, not paying enough attention, not caring enough. Well, maybe you’re to blame, and maybe you’re NOT to blame. Maybe what you w ..read more

There’s a lot of racism, discrimination and homophobia flying around and goodness knows what else out there, and Karens are not helping matters by complaining about Auntie Marge’s sagging torso, Auntie Marge this, and Auntie Marge that. Do you want to live a more fruitful and peaceful life? Here’s your answer. HOW ABOUT YOU FOCUS MORE ON YOUR LIFE THAN OTHERS’? I mean, if their actions don’t affect your life in any way, why complicate things for both you and them by popping in to complain? Please stop being snowflakes and let yourself and others enjoy things. Let the lovers express their lo ..read more

How would you feel if you gifted someone something very special, something priceless, something many could kill to have, and the person simply tosses it away and it cracks? Hurts like hell, yeah, I know. The gift I’m referring to here is Life. Life is a very challenging woman many will kill to keep by their side. She has many faces, yes, but that’s how all we humans are, too, right? Many-faced. She’s beautiful, she has her ugly sides, she loves bullshitting us, but what to do? The majority of us still love her. We were given this bipolar ass of a wife called Life by our parents, and we must ho ..read more

Y’all recall when you was a child with no sense of direction and not an idea about what the hell was going on (not that you’re any different from the you you were then)? Do you recall when your mama would bundle you up in ten layers of clothes, belt you up in the backseat of the car and drive you off to only goodness knows where but that always seemed to be the right place and time for the event? You remember all that? Yes? Thank you! Okay. I know I’ve posted a lot about Life being our spouse and blah-de-bleh, but I’d also ask you to liken her to a parent. They’ll give you tablets when you ha ..read more
