They say growing old is a curse. Wrinkles. Grey hair. Aunty jokes.
But now I understand:
To grow old is a blessing.
Not everyone gets to.
Not my father. Not the people we’ve lost too soon.
He never saw retirement. Never saw peace.
I hope he’s somewhere better now.

They only see me now — calm, quiet, controlled.
They don’t know how hard I fought to burn my rage down to embers.
They don’t know I’ve survived worse — myself.

I’m not a chihuahua.
I’m a fucking wolf.

I don’t ask for much.
Just do your job.
But apparently, even that is too much to expect.

People should come with warning labels.
Fine print isn’t just for contracts. It should be for personalities too.

From lovebombers to compulsive liars, to men who couldn’t pick a lane — I dated them all.

It’s okay to be messy
It’s okay to be too much
It’s okay to be ambitious
It’s okay to choose yourself

What’s not okay is losing your own voice just to fit.

I write to stay out of jail. Because... well, law exists. Just launched my Substack.
Not fiction. Not fluff.
I write the truths we’re too polite to say out loud.

Follow if you like your writing raw and haunted.

The angrier I get, the funnier it sounds.
Not because it’s a joke — it’s rage dressed in sarcasm.

I don’t explode.
I roast.
And people laugh while I burn.

Doing 6 things at once. Still spoken to like I’m free to chat.
This one’s for the admin staff holding it all together while being overlooked.
We see you.
