Flashback⚡ Me: Hey, I've been thinking about your birthday coming up. How about we spend it together??? I was thinking we could go to Mole National Park for a little adventure, or you could come to Kumasi. What do you think??? Her: Thanks for the offer, but I think I'd prefer to celebrate alone this year. Me: Alone??? But why??? I want to make your birthday special. Her: I appreciate that, really, but I just fe el like some alone time would be good for me. I want to spoil myself and do things at my own pace. Me: But I want to be there with you, to share in the joy and make memories together. Her: I know, and I appreciate your thoughtfulness. But sometimes, I need to do things for myself. It's not personal, I promise. Me: Okay, I understand. If that's what you need, then I'll respect your decision. But just know that I'm here for you, no matter what. Her: Thank you for understanding. I promise we'll celebrate together next year, okay??? Me: Deal. Happy b...

There's something more powerful than *LOVE* Something much more precious and beautiful than *LOVE* Comes with a relatively longer shelf life than *LOVE*... It's much more stable! Do you know what it is??? Can you guess it??? Well, this thing I speak of is the one thing that not even the greatest lovebirds (be it Romeo&Juliet or Jack&Rose) could last without. It is what I believe every relationship (family, romantic, professional, friendship, etc) should focus on... And not just LOVE. Still wondering what it is??? 🤔🤔🤔 (Hmmm) Just be patient and stay with me😊 Watch this space! The word is *LOYALTY* *LOYALTY* surpasses LOVE in every meaningful way. LOYALTY will prevail even where LOVE fails. Not all relationships require LOVE to thrive. For instance you don't necessarily need LOVE in a professional relationship... As in, you don't obligatorily need to love or like your boss or employer or office colleagues, or even customers in order to kee...

Dear men, Being vicarious about the menstrual experience of women is quite magnanimously chivalrous. One of the best ways to connect with her is by showing genuine consistent interest in her menstrual health- not only when you're exploring safe periods or investigating pregnancy chances. It's one sure way to know whether or not she's comfortable enough with you. Because omen share important things with people they are cool with or comfortable with [actually, same goes for men]. In summary, dear men, be 'meno-sensitive' !!! [I'm not sure if this is even a word, I just conjured it from the abyss] ❤️💚❤️💚❤️❤️❤️ -Francis Anarfo (King Lagatin)

Here we stand, thus far have we come. Journeying through many phases in history, the human race has eventually gotten here- at this point. The very point where our human rights are humanely right no longer; when those whom we expect to know have only but displayed their utter numbness to the spectacular awe of we the so-called ordinary people. Nothing appears explicit, everything is rather so blur and vague and yet, somehow, this is what we are forced to accept as modern day enlightenment. Such heights of irony! It oft times beats my imagination to realise how much our desperation for freedom tends to more or less enslave as the unnoticeably. Financial freedom, freedom to express the human nature uncensoredly, freedom to have our way in every business of life(ie. education, belief, profession etc), freedom to be whatever we'd like to be, etc have become the ultimate desire of the modern day human mind. But one thing that must never be overlooked is that, when freedom is not righ...

Too many a time, we may not appreciate the value of the supposed stresses that life tend to subject us to. For several moments the way ahead appear foggy and milky. But when the dust settles, when the dusk is cleared from the sky, only then will we see that every iota of the supposed stresses life threw at us in all its divers forms was necessary to forge us into that which we shall become. For instance, Anatomy courses may not make so much sense and meaning currently. But the time cometh when we shall realise that the fulcrum of our lives and livelihoods is massively hitched upon Anatomy and all the weird terminologies it comes with. So a look beyond the now could be the best consolation we probably have. -Francis, for Lagatinscribes

You know the very thoughts that I hold within You are entirely aware of every action and inaction of mine You make me believe you're always there, always! But you're not I don't really know you that well but then you seem to know me quite well from the way you stare right back anytime we meet. A quick glance at you and I can't stop wondering how disappointed you probably are in me. Your eyes are like mine, with identical gestures. I even try to copycat you when we meet or perhaps it's the other way round. You always leave, only to re-appear intermittently along the span of day, in the wash room, at the mart, in the bus, and along the street and even on my phone oft times. You are silent, and it makes me wonder if we are anything alike. You say nothing but only stare and this really scares me sometimes. I wonder if you're trying to get me a message that I'm not getting. Or perhaps, you're probably waiting for your turn to take over from me since you ...
