But one night, one mistake, i just wanted to have fun, mind you, I am 22 years old and a student at KNUST and now I’m facing a reality I can’t…

I’ve been with my boyfriend for three years, but I still struggle to trust him. He cheated on me in the past, and although he’s apologized and promised to change, I find it hard to shake off the feeling that he’ll hurt me again. I always feel insecure whenever he is using his phone and smiling and laughing. Due to this I am always checking… Read more

I had a really close relationship with this girl, let’s call her Justina.

Justina and I were inseparable; the type of friendship where people assumed we were either sisters or twins and most of the time, girlfriends.

I didn’t think much of the latter part of these assumptions because I am straight and so is she, or at least that’s what…

@james I feel like im in a coma.

Most days in my life, I feel like I’m not awake.
It’s weird and hard to explain but I am going to try to.

When I lay in bed after a stressful day, everything feels like it’s slowly swaying and I feel light, almost unexistent; and when I think back to how the day went and how productive or unproductive it… Read more

After a messy incident at a family party, my parents made me promise to give up drinking. I told them I would, but the truth is, I haven’t. I’ve just gotten better at hiding it. I keep a small bottle of vodka tucked away in an old Milo tin in my wardrobe. I only drink when I know no one is home, but the fear of getting caught is always there.…

Somewhere during the night, I caught the attention of this guy. He was tall, dressed in a sleek white kaftan, and had this confident aura. He kept sending drinks to…

For months now, I’ve been pretending to have a job. My parents think I work at a fancy office in Accra, but the truth is, I lost my job last year and haven’t been able to find another one. Every morning, I wake up, dress in office clothes, and leave the house like everything is normal. I usually spend the day at a cafe in the mall, applying…

Last year, we traveled to Kumasi for a family funeral. You know how funerals

in Ghana bring out every relative, whether you know them or not. At one point during the ceremony, this woman dressed in all black started wailing and calling my uncle’s name like her life depended on it. Everyone turned to look at her, but my aunt’s face was what…

Last December, I went to my best friend’s engagement party. You know how these events go, everyone’s dressed to turn heads, the music is loud, and the drinks are flowing. At the reception, I met this guy who seemed to know everyone. He was funny and kept complimenting my outfit, so we started talking. I don’t even remember how many drinks we…
