Yoruba storie

For seventeen years, I was trapped in a boring life, the people I made contact with everyday are my parent, Julia and no one else, my aunt drops by occasionally. I want more than that boring life, I want to stop being home school, I want to know how life is by not living under the watchful eyes of my parent and I got it when I spent my last year in high school at Blake high school. It was crazy, I experienced a lot, I met the mighty P-12, Every happy Linda, Annoying Amy, mysterious Isabella, Joel and his bully crew, playful Zion, boyish and troublesome Mitchello, cunny Irantiola, sweethearted Bee and my heartrob leandro. I learnt something which I still held with me till today, the people you least expected to hurt you will hurt you most, you can never tell someone can hurt you until the person hurt you. I am glad I left home, I made some mistakes and I learnt my lesson, never judge someone you just met because you can never tell their story, how life has dealt with them, what makes them what they are presently, I have a lot to talk about in my story.

Eman has always lived a sheltered life. At nineteen, she is bubbly, a little spoiled, and known for her quick humor and lively personality. Surrounded by family who adore and protect her, her world has always felt safe, predictable, and carefully arranged. But everything begins to change the day her brother brings a friend home. Royhan is different from anyone Eman has ever met-calm, thoughtful, and quietly confident. What starts as a simple introduction slowly becomes something neither of them expected. As their paths continue to cross, Eman begins to realize that growing up means facing emotions she has never experienced before. But with family expectations, cultural differences, and her own sheltered upbringing standing in the way, nothing about this new chapter will be simple. In a story about growth, faith, and the unexpected ways hearts can change, Eman must discover whether what she feels is just a passing moment... or something far more meaningful.

OKANRAN: EARTH SCAVENGERS He was born to die young. Igbayilola never asked to carry the world. He was the invisible one the middle son no one trained, no one feared losing, no one chose. While his father poured everything into his elder brother, Igbayilola was left to study, to wait, to disappear quietly into the background of his own family. Then the running started. 153 years after World War Three scorched seventy percent of the earth, humanity didn't go extinct. It evolved into something worse. Nations now sacrifice their strongest men in a brutal blood sport called the Red Sport; Ijakadi Iku, where champions fight to the death so governments can keep their seats at the table of power. It swallowed his father. It swallowed his brother. And now the artifact his bloodline has protected for thirteen centuries older than nations, older than war has chosen the one nobody expected. Not the warrior. Not the genius. The dying boy. Igbayilola has one impossible task: save a world that never saw him coming. And one brutal truth to face first: Maybe the world deserves to burn. They are not the Earth Scavengers. You are.

And I keep feeling this tug towards you, to check up on you but you're so stubborn. I had to pray about it all the time because I felt my heart was deceiving me or something. God knows how confused I was before I accepted that..." He just paused. "That what?" "That I liked you." ❊❊❊❊❊ In my story I'm a child of unfortunate circumstances, born to a reckless father and a housewife mother although the world thinks I have it all. In my story I struggle between loving my parents even though their actions make me angry, I struggle to be the shield for my sister while leaving her alone to pick herself up, I struggle to fit in with my peers even though we we've been friends for years. I can't even hold on to the person who saw me and wanted me. I hide myself behind thousands of questions, anxiety and fear. In my story I'm just another girl raised in Ibadan with nothing to look forward to. Hope is unknowingly what kept me together, hence I started writing letters. What am I hoping for? Who am I hoping on? Why? Why do I write to a person I can't see? How desperate must I be? I hope in a God I used to have around me. Though I don't blame him, I question why he left me, if he's still out there, and if he can still help me. Or maybe he never left me at all.
