Fighting Depression
Something happened to me this year I’ve been in so much pain that I felt I was going to die. I’ve cried,I’ve journaled, I’ve felt the pain and wished for it to go away but it stayed and as days passed, it became even more painful. My chest hurt so badly, I couldn’t function properly, I’ve lost interest in things I love, Night became my worst moment. The moment I hit the bed it consumes me. I will lay up all night struggling to sleep and it eventually won’t come. My heart became so heavy that I remembered God.( I have a conflicted relationship with God it’s actually difficult to explain) I’ve gone on my knee to beg God to take away this pain. Most times, my heart gets too heavy and breaks me down. I’ve stayed on my knees trying to explain to God but no word was spoken( I couldn’t find my voice so all I do is cry) The most painful part is I still find a way to smile around people ad act like I’m okay. I’ve gone to church on a Sunday and stayed from 1st to 4th service. I’ve stood up and gone to mid day service😂😂😂 (so unbelievable) All what was in my heart was God please take this pain away I’ve questioned you too much, I’ve been angry at you for things that happen. If you don’t take this pain off my chest I’ll die.

Inside a Nigerian Boarding School
Danger and Skull are two people in my hostel that most of my mates will avoid any form of relationship with because we have no idea of any illegal activities they cannot partake in. Logically, you should be scared of anyone nicknamed Danger or Skull. Sometimes you do not know how dangerous you are until you have crossed the enemy's line.

Inside a Nigerian Boarding School
It was Saturday, the resumption day for all first-year students. I have been waiting all morning for my dad to come home and pick me up for my new school. Finally, at 11:22 am, I could hear the sound of his car engine, and it felt like the medicine for my anxiety had just arrived. Are you ready to go? He said, with so much excitement; I said yes and opened the car trunk as my siblings assisted me in carrying my box and other belongings. My box was not conventional, but the school highly recommended it. Made from a thick aluminum sheet, the box was about three feet in length, two feet in breadth, and a height of one foot; it had two padlocks on guard and was painted with awful colors to protect the box from rusting and not to beautify it. The nature of my box was supposed to open my mind to the idea that I was going into a den of thieves. It was impossible to pass through the facility for six years without stealing a thing, at least a pen. I was so naïve; all I was thinking about was the freedom from parenting, the allowances, the liberty from house chores, and the pride in attending one of the region's most talked about boarding schools. Finally, a few minutes past twelve, the whole house was ready to move. It was fascinating how they were all excited that I was leaving the house, but the feeling was mutual.

I had an STI… but I was a virgin.. Content Warning.
Ok! Damn, where do I start?? I have deleted and added bits to this piece so many times, I thought I’d never share it. Ok so, it was January 2021 right? I had just started preparing myself for school. It all happened so fast actually, wrote entrance exams on a Monday, came back home thinking I’d have to wait a while before results are posted, and saw my results on Tuesday, I got in (yay) I left home on a Wednesday.
