"The police said it was a bomb" Fred whispered to me, "it makes no difference" I said back. "May their souls rest in perfect peace" the priest concluded. Fred stepped forward and dropped his flowers into the deep grave, it hurt me so much to see my parents being buried side by side, "go on" Fred said. I took a step forward, hands trembling, something moved me but I wasn't quite sure of what it was, definitely this had to be the only way of comforting myself, my flowers fell to the ground and everyone gasped in shock as I jumped into the uncovered grave."..........................

The Grey In Black And White {COMPLETED}
The teenage period is usually not always easy. You make mistakes, you learn from them. It's like a moulding phase towards adulthood, which tends to be harder than adults make it sound. Especially in this generation. Growing up in a society where having a psychological condition means you're a freak, abnormal or an attention seeker. Where gender inequality is still seen as normal and right. Where anything other than Heterosexuality means you're possessed or the spawn of the devil. Where showing your emotions as a guy means you're soft and weak, because toxic masculinity isn't seen as a problem. Also, having anything to do that's related to these "atrocities" means you're set for an even bigger social stigma. Being a teenager becomes harder than hard. Just a group of teenagers trying to find a place for themselves in midst of a backward society, realising that life can't be all black and white. Growing in an African home is hard but what's harder is being a Nigerian. O le gán. "It is better to be hated for what you are, than to be loved for what you're not." -André GideComplete
