At first glance, I seem quiet. After a while, you might think I'm just a plain snob but those who are close to me know I can be funny, witty, smart, inspiring, innovative and lovable. My family thinks I'm a super mom and a tireless wife. Size me up by any means necessary; it doesn't change who I was born to be. Writing is my passion. It's the best way I know to express myself and pass across my learnings in life and of life. By writing, I hope to create awareness, bring inspiration and encouragement and change the world, making it a better place from everyone. I hope you stick around and find my posts helpful in some ways. Otherwise, let's rub minds. Send me a mail @ buki.alamu@gmail.com

And I don’t know any more how to get to you

Because you are unable to feel me and all the things inside … More My Smiley Face

When does love turn to hate?

How is strength measured?

Who decides the manifestations of love and hate?

How do you measure strength and weakness?

Till they are all masked, explained with cause, how do you decipher?

When does the line begin and where does it end? … More Falling Lines

I love my worth and respect more than I can ever love you

September 28, 2018

Love,

The kind where you are passionate to help me be better than my best,

The kind where you are keen to appreciate every good opportunity I represent.

The kind where I am realistic about the passion and vision that you offer,

The kind where I follow you unto the ends of the world so blindly. … More I love my worth and respect more than I can ever love you

‘Happy birthday Kristen’.

‘I think there might be something in the tree’, Mike said.

‘In the tree?’ Kristen moved closer to it. There was a hollow place at eye-level. She put her hand inside and felt a small package, and pulled it out. It was a gift box. ‘What is this?’

‘Open it’, he said.

Kristen opened it and her eyes widened. In the box was a beautiful emerald ring, surrounded by diamonds, set in platinum. … More Surrounded by diamonds, set in platinum
