• But I never asked you out "

    "I never said we are dating"

    Those were his words to me as we argued .

    I looked at him again .
    But he called me "baby,sweet heart,mylove"

    Long talk in the days , and unending gist at night .

    He was the reason no man had a chance in my life
    We planned our lives together, so I thought

    "I have somebody I love. Let's just remain as normal friends so I dont affect your relationship " he continued .

    Which relationship tunde?

    The first tears dropped from my eyes. They were tasteless.

    The second dropped.
    It tasted like crayfish and tumeric.
    Somebody was definitely cooking in my eyes here .
    I was already on my knees
    My world was spinning.

    " Let's talk about this tunde. If I did anything to upset you. I am sorry"
    I begged.
    More tears dropped!

    I searched my mind to remember any time he actually asked me out something I could remind him of instantly

    Tunde was Right!
    My eyes widened
    I had assumed.
    He had played me.

    "No"I shook my head frantically
    My emotions deceived me
    I had played myself.

    "Please tunde, you can't do this to me"
    I pleaded more.

    He made to leave.
    I grabbed his legs and he struggled to push me out.

    Something fell out of the file he held.
    I picked it up.
    My hands were shaking. As I opened to read it, my legs dropped .
    Tunde was getting married next month!
    I didn't know how long it was before I blanked out .
    .........

    Three weeks later , all I could do was stare into empty space .
    My mum was afraid. I had not even said a word to anybody this 3 weeks .
    But I did say a lot in my mind.

    I just didn't know why my tongue couldn't throw the words out.

    " Nne try to eat your food it's getting cold" mum said

    Mum had done every thing to get me to eat.
    It was fruitless .
    I gazed at the okasi soup and eba comfortably sited at the dinning table in matching plates.

    The room was spinning. I didn't know how long it was before I put my head on the dinning table and passed out.

    .....
    The days that followed were better for me.

    Tunde was by my bed side answering all the questions I asked him.

    "Why did you throw 6 years of my life away?" I asked him
    "Am sorry baby, I am back now for good" he answered.

    I smiled.

    I turned and noticed mum by my bedside. she wiped off tears from her eyes.
    But why was she crying?

    A slender looking man stood by her side.
    By his attire I could tell he is a doctor.
    "This is how she has been doctor. she calls the wall tunde"
    mum said and wiped off another ticking tear.

    " We may need to involve a psychiatrist. Shock and trauma is making her hallucinate and these could be early signs of psychosis" He said.

    I couldn't understand what they said .
    I turned and looked at my Tunde .
    He smiled at me.
    ..............,............................

    The road to my therapy venue now looked familiar
    I could even go by myself .
    At the beginning, dad took me there,so I was told.
    He had looked for the best in town and coined the name to suit him. He felt uncomfortable calling it a psychiatrist hospital .

    Dad wasn't going to accept that his daughter became *mad*

    I stepped down from my car .
    The harmattan wind came so strong and blew iced wind down my lungs.
    I breathed in deeply.

    Few months back, breathing in was difficult.
    It felt like someone pushed down hot boiled water down my lungs everytime my drugs knocked me back to reality.

    "Madam welcome " the gateman said .
    " Thank you " I replied him as I stepped Into the building.

    It's been one year already since dad first brought me here; one year since Tunde got married.

    My therapy session was ending next month .
    I turned to the gateman and smiled gently.

    It was the first time I was smiling after one year.

    Dad said I could travel to any part of europe I wanted to see when I finish therapy.

    The sun will shine tomorrow and I will rise up and try again.

    .........................................................
    What more do I say.

    Seek clearity

    Ask questions, and ask them early.

    You are not cheap if you ask "what are we"?

    You will only look cheap when you assume to be what you are not .

  • HOW TO HANDLE A SILENT TREATMENT IN A RELATIONSHIP OR MARRIAGE.

    Handling the silent treatment in a relationship can be challenging, but addressing it with care and understanding is key to resolving the issue. Here are some steps to help navigate this situation:

    1. Stay Calm and Don’t React with Anger

    Reacting to the silent treatment with anger or frustration can escalate the situation. Take a deep breath and remain calm. It’s important not to mirror the silence with your own silence or frustration, as this can prolong the conflict.

    2. Reflect on the Situation

    Before addressing the person, reflect on what may have caused the silent treatment. Did something happen recently that led to hurt feelings? Understanding the root of the issue can guide your response.

    3. Give Space (If Necessary)

    Sometimes, the person giving the silent treatment might need some space to process their emotions. Respecting their need for time to cool down can allow for more constructive communication later.

    4. Approach Gently

    When you’re ready, approach the person calmly and non-confrontationally. Use “I” statements, like, “I’ve noticed we’re not talking, and I feel confused. Can we talk about what happened?” This avoids sounding accusatory and opens up space for dialogue.

    5. Avoid Playing Games

    If you resort to giving the silent treatment in return, it can turn into a power struggle and make things worse. Aim for resolution rather than a back-and-forth of silence.

    6. Listen Actively

    When the person is ready to talk, listen carefully to what they’re saying without interrupting. Make sure they feel heard and understood, even if their feelings are difficult to hear. This can help to diffuse the tension.

    7. Address the Underlying Issue

    The silent treatment is often a sign of deeper issues, such as unresolved conflict, hurt feelings, or unmet needs. Focus on discussing these underlying issues respectfully and with empathy.

    8. Set Boundaries for Healthy Communication

    Let the person know that while you understand they might need space, healthy communication is important in the relationship. Discuss how you both can handle disagreements or difficult emotions in the future in a constructive way.

    9. Consider Relationship Counseling

    If the silent treatment becomes a recurring pattern and you’re unable to resolve conflicts effectively, consider seeking help from a therapist or relationship counselor to improve communication and conflict resolution skills.

    Ultimately, the key is to remain patient, open, and compassionate. Silent treatment often reflects deeper emotional issues, so addressing those with care can help rebuild trust and communication

  • Understanding Health: A Holistic Perspective

    Health is often viewed merely as the absence of illness, but it encompasses much more than that. It is a dynamic state of well-being that includes physical, mental, emotional, and social dimensions.

    1. Physical Health: This refers to the efficient functioning of the body and its systems. It includes regular exercise, a balanced diet, adequate sleep, and preventive healthcare.

    2. Mental Health: This aspect involves how we think, feel, and cope with life’s challenges. Good mental health allows us to manage stress, relate to others, and make choices.

    3. Emotional Health: Closely linked to mental health, emotional health involves understanding and managing our emotions effectively.

    4. Social Health: This dimension emphasizes the importance of relationships and social networks. Strong connections with family, friends, and the community contribute significantly to our overall sense of well-being.

    Remember, health is a journey, not a destination!

  • 10 Bruuutal Ways to Make Any Woman Chase You

    1. Level Up Your Value

    A man who’s constantly improving himself is irresistible.

    Hit the gym, chase your goals, and stack your money. When you’re climbing the ladder of success, she’ll be desperate to climb with you.

    Weakness is a choice; strength is a decision.

    2. Be Mysterious

    Don’t lay all your cards on the table, bro. Keep her guessing. The less she knows, the more she’ll crave to figure you out.

    Mystery is magnetic.

    Simps overshare; strong men keep their power.

    3. Control Your Attention

    Stop giving her unlimited access to you. Attention is your most valuable resource, treat it like gold.

    The less you give, the more she’ll want it. Don’t be the guy who’s always available.

    Step up or step aside.

    4. Master the Power of Silence

    Sometimes, saying nothing is more powerful than words. When she expects a reaction, give her calm indifference.

    It’ll drive her crazy trying to figure out what you’re thinking. Stay sharp, silence is a weapon.

    5. Pass Her Tests Without Flinching

    Women will test you to see if you’re the real deal.

    Don’t get emotional, don’t overreact. Laugh it off, stay confident, and pass every test she throws your way.

    Let the truth be told: Simps fail, kings conquer.

    6. Walk Away When Necessary

    The ultimate power move? Walking away.

    When she knows you’re willing to leave if she disrespects you, she’ll fight to keep you.

    If you disappoint, you’ll appear before the council of brotherhood, don’t let that happen.

    7. Build Social Proof

    When other women admire you, she’ll want you even more. It’s brutal, but women compete.

    Be the man other women notice, and she’ll chase you just to prove she’s worthy.

    8. Flirt Without Commitment

    Flirt to build tension, but don’t rush to lock it down.

    Keep it playful, keep it light, and let her wonder where she stands.

    The chase is what excites her, so don’t make it easy.

    9. Stay in Control of Your Emotions

    Women chase men who are emotionally
