The fact is that even after so many years, you're not used to it. You don't know what to expect the next month, especially if you experience cramps. This month it might come with diarrhea and vomiting, the next month might be depression and insanely excruciating pain.

Why do most women talk about sex like it's one glorious medal women give men, when it's both parties that enjoy the activity? Talmbout "you want us to open our legs yen yen yen." Both the leg opener and the opened enjoy sex, so why does it have a price tag? What's the big deal?

Hello #BookTwitter let's do something real quick. So you'll quote a line from an African book, and someone would guess which book it is. I'll go first. "Love is blood choosing blood. Nothing to do with the heart. The heart speaks, you can reason with it. But blood?"

I've had this book for a very long time, but I haven't read it. So #BookTwitter is this as heartbreaking as The joys of motherhood? I want to prepare my mind first.

My mum is almost done reading Americanah. Can't wait for us to argue on who is wrong between Obinze and Ifemelu.

According to an unwritten rule in Nigeria, today is my birthday Thanksgiving day. 😂 So I'll like to thank everyone who celebrated me yesterday. You will forever be celebrated and happiness will not elude you this year and beyond.
