Attawa Thursday Update

Folks, I have an update about one of the stories posted on this blog – “Attawa Thursday”. You can read it if this is your first time on this blog, or read it again to refresh your memory. I will give you a quick summary of the story. I reminisced about my first crush back in primary school – class 1, to be precise. I started early, what can I say. Long story short, I had a huge crush on her and there wasn’t anything I wouldn’t do to get her attention. What I didn’t share in that previous blog post, was how things ended or didn’t end between us. So here is it…

My mom got transferred to a different Region and we had to move when I was in class 2. Truly sad time in the history of mankind. I never saw or heard from Attawa again after we left. I have had many crushes since then, but Attawa reigns supreme. I guess what they say about first loves could hold true for first crushes as well. Its been about 30+ years since I last saw her. Through a series of unprecedented events, I now have her contact phone number! WHOA! Pull a seat for this one folks. 

After posting the story on the blog, one of my friends read the story, and he happened to be the one person who was in my class in class 1 and 2. What are the odds right? Okay, so I actually lost touch with this guy too after I left. We happened to reunite again when we ended up in the same SSS (now SHS) and the same class. So we have been in touch since then. Okay, so he read the blog and immediately knew who I was talking about. Since he stayed longer than I did at the primary school, he was still in touch with a few people. After a series of whatsapp messages, Attawa’s contact is now on my phone. WHAT?! I am not even sure what my next move is. 

Where do I start? What do I say? Will she remember me? Is she single – yes, that is an important question.  A number of things could happen…She remembers me and this could be the start of a beautiful thing, or she does not remember me and could be the start of something beautiful like you see in the movies. And of course, she does not remember me and that is the end of that. I get my closure and focus on my one remaining crush – Abeiku. 

Honestly, I am excited and nervous at the same time. I really don’t know what my next move is or should be. This is where I need some guidance from you folks. Also I am probably going to need some TLC if this does not go as well as I imagined it. None the less, I am willing to give it a try. 

Who ever thought this blog will lead to this…hahah. I was merely just looking for a distraction and posted a story. Now here we are potentially about to have a reunion. I would really love to hear suggestions about how to proceed. Feel free to leave a comment or reach out to the admins of this blog with your recommendation. They know how to find me.

Heels are not my wedding shoes

  I thought we had Covid-19  under control but Ghana is steadily moving to a second wave of covid cases. Why? People are not taking the Covid-19 protocols serio usly and that’s pretty upsetting . My teammate joins the public transport every day to work and she tells me, she’s sometimes the only one wearing the mask. That’s very unfortunate. I wish we will all be responsible because covid doesn’t end with how cautious you are. We protect ourselves to save ourselves and others. Wear your masks, wash your hands, keep a sanitizer and observe social distance.   Don’t panic if the result is positive, you will be fine. I know you will be.  Drink warm water with crushed ginger and garlic. Add some lemon for a zesty effect. Most importantly, obey the body. Rest. Sleep. Drink water. Lots of it. And stay positive. You will be fine. Talk to friends who care. I just want to send a special mention to that friend who tested positive, you are loved. I will keep praying for you...

Tributes While I Am Still Alive

                My birthday is coming soon, April 1.   I am 39 and very proud of it. Most women shy away from their age and I can’t really tell why?! My younger sister is always dreading her birthdays and one of my cousin’s have been 26 for the past 5 years.  I am one person who bluntly says my age whenever I am asked, irrespective of who and how it’s asked! Yes 39 and beautiful at heart 💜. No children yet and relationship is very much complicated. Relationship wise, I guess I’ve become too comfortable being single. (Hope my mum will skip this part) The things I look out for now are so funny and petty. 1. How he chews when eating  2. Use of shorthand to chat  3. His cologne  4. Low key on social media  5. I’ll end it at 4. In my 39 years on earth, I’ve made some mistakes and learnt a lot from it. I’ve hurt people and  I’m deeply sorry, if you are one of them. Others I know, others I have no ...

Everything Good Will Come

“ I danced the *kpalongo, fearing nothing for my sanity, or common sense. I added a few foreign steps to disorientate the discontented so-and-so: flamenco,can-can, Irish dancing from side to side. Nothing could take my joy away from me. The sun sent her blessings. My sweat baptized me.” ~Enitan Taiwo.  The day Fanny told me “everything good will come”, I felt she was in a better place so she could afford to say things like this to me.  I thought she didn’t understand my pain. I am sure she sensed I wasn’t impressed. Those words sounded like she was being dismissive of my pain. That was far from it. Now, I know better.  Thank you, Fanny.  I have learned; those words are one of the kindest words someone can say to you. You have to enjoy the process. It’s all yours! What’s life without the downs? The bumpy rides make you appreciate life on a smooth road (when you eventually get there). We will all get there soon.  I have been mouthing “everything good will come” fo...
