Appearance and knowing the appropriate cloths to wear for different events are very important and since I hate to dress up to go anyway, I prefer to stay home. I love casual cloths. They are so comfortable and simple to wear. I love clothes that I do not have to iron because I hate ironing….
FIRST TIME CURATING EXPERIENCE
Yesterday was the opening of 3 days art exhibition I organised to promote some young Ghanaian contemporary artists. This is the first time I have ever organised or curated an art exhibition. The preparations before the art exhibition felt like pregnancy and I am going through labour to birth the results. I have 2 days…
KITCHEN TABLE TALK: YOUNG BUT EXPERIENCED
Older people are always acknowledged for being more experienced than young people in most things. This is not true. Just because someone is old does not mean that person has more experience than a younger person in some things. Sometimes, being older older does not mean you know or have experienced everything. I have been…
KITCHEN TABLE TALK: BULLIES
Bullies are people we can never avoid in life and most people will have to endure them for the rest of their lives. They can be family members, friends, teachers, neighbours, classmates, coworkers, bosses, children or companies. I know a lot of people including myself who have gone through bullying. It is a painful experience…
HUMAN MIRROR
Recently I had dinner with a good friend and we talked about betrayals. I could feel the depth of how profoundly scarred we are by the very people we loved. Maybe we are cursed. We are damaged goods. Too damaged to be salvaged nor saved and even if we could be, I do not want…
GRATEFUL FOR LIFE
So today is my birthday and I am grateful for my life and everything I have. I know I am not supposed to wait till my birthday to be grateful for all the things I have, I should be grateful every day. I have decided to write a post on my birthday and on my…
KITCHEN TABLE TALK: RUMOURS
Personal experience is very important and most often the best way to get to know someone without the influence of others. There are so much rumours going on and if you are not discerning you will believe them and judge people based on what others say. I have made some really good friends with people…
FEELING LONELY IN THE CROWD
I should be happy because there a lot of people, drinks, food, laughter, smiling and fun but I feel lonely. I tried really hard to fit in and laugh with them but I still felt lonely. I stopped trying and went to sleep. They are not the kind of people I feel connected to. There…
THE “I CANNOT LEAVE” RELATIONSHIPS
I asked a married man why he cheats on his wife of 27 years and he said it is because he sees her like his sister. He did not say much but the expressions he used while talking to me were very sad and he looked very unhappy in his marriage. He said he does…
KITCHEN TABLE TALK: MOVING OUT OF HOME
Most of my friends and I are in our mid-twenties and one of the important things we discuss is moving out of home. We think we are adults and need our own space and privacy. We have reached the stage in life where living with your parents is not acceptable in society. You are expected…
CONVENIENT LIFE
I love convenience! I want to wake up every morning in my own warm bed, walk into my bathroom to take a bath and to my kitchen to make breakfast. I want to be able to go anywhere with the easiest form of transportation. Everything should be convenient. I cannot live poor and I will…
THINK FOR YOURSELF
I cannot deal with people who cannot think for themselves. Sometimes we ask for help with a decision but to make others think for you all the time is very disturbing and pathetic. We cannot be friends if someone told you to do so. I want us to be friends because you think we can…
