Sometimes you have this buddy of yours,  you were too close, you help each other, do stuff together and then one day you discover your friend has another friend who is your enemy. They will at least one day discuss you. I wrote this two weeks ago on my way to Tema from Mampong-Akuapem. I was thinking about a lot of stuff that is going on in life. One which caught my attention most is fake friends or enemies in disguise.  When are new at a place we get more friends,  new friends,  good friends and bad friends; Everyone wants to be your friend because of one reason or another. As time goes on we discover true friends from the fake friends.  So who are friends?   A friend is someone who is closer to you than an acquaintance.  You advice him, he advices you, you give him stuff he gives you stuff (exchange gifts) Friendship is not a one party receive affair, if it becomes like that one will get too 'tired' of the other. How do we consider someone a...

Mothers day. Mothers day is overrated Do you remember the story of your birth? Nine months,  six months, 10 months etc. The pains she went through. Do you remember your childhood? Changing diapers, preparing baby food, getting you ready for school, fight bullies for you and making sure you have the best uniform on Monday. Do you remember right now?  Her visits back in high school, PTA meetings, her missed calls, her prayers before your exams, how she helped to get your fees paid, how she constantly "bores" you about church stuff and her midnight prayers that keeps you going. Mothers day is never overrated.

This is Nothing how I in-visioned These books and over re-vision got me pushing back my wisdom that ain't even the half been weak since I went class. Thinking deep If I would pass. Because none of these in my heart cause really I was lonely missing all my homies back in Nsawam I still cant believe that for three years, how can u manage losing all your habits, eating yam and shito every afternoon. And the teachers were speaking a different programming languages, getting me falling asleep,how the f*ck can I understand this? Sitting all alone visualizing home and all my friends were just these pictures on my phone; Mom cooked delicious food. Siblings fight. Father’s sense of humour and strict discipline . Peace List is endless, obviously it can not be one.

Do you remember the last conversation you had with mother's mother on her last visit,  when you asked her about what kept her through life all these while? With that usual smile she started with the lines; "ɛnfa ho sɛ nea noɔma bɛ yɛ, bi biaa bɛ fine." (Things will be alright soon, no matter how it gets). And she to you  that the simplest thing about the world is that we worry about stuff that don't matter, we care a lot about our failures and grudge with people, we care about money and not service to humanity,we normally care about what we will get than what we will give. Forgetting that one day we would have to leave a legacy. Anti Akyeampomaa said this and left without returning back to us and it's almost a year now.  Things are really getting alright,  I'm almost finding myself, I'm becoming the Agya wusu you used to call me, growing faster than anticipated, my siblings and I will make you proud. We miss you. Theresa Akyeampomaa Rip. N...
