Bus Ride


I’m in a bus with its windows only half open and the weather is extremely hot

The worst part is I’m in a long sleeve shirt; I literally feel like I’m suffocating

The traffic is much; I have no hope of getting to my destination in the next two hours

Lifted my head now and there’s the woman hawking cold drinks in the traffic

She’s staring at me and I stare right back, I should buy one but I’m on a strict budget

I’d hate to walk part of my journey back home

The woman eventually walks away and I sigh internally wondering how she copes in the direct sunlight

My earpiece has been stuck in my ear; I had no idea what was playing until Kante by Davido and Fave comes on, the only part of the song I love is Fave’s part

“…cos I’m feeling intellectual…” she’s currently my favorite female artiste; from baby riddim to Mr Man to in Love and now Kante, she keeps living up to expectations.

Ah, traffic has moved again and this time I heave an outward sigh of relief

I’m so tired and extremely stressed

I need special treatment but in the meantime I hope I survive this hellish bus. Thanks for reading!!! Please visit https://craftedchronicles0.wixsite.com/ for more posts. Follow me on instagram and twitter: @jaxzy_d_king

A genuine smile usually conveys positive emotions, like happiness and pleasure and even amusement. Even in a fight or an argument, a smile can be the disarming factor in such an encounter. Giving someone who feels bad about something you have done a smile could quench the heated fire of the argument. A research showed that fights were highly reduced between couples who were genuine with showing their affections with each other and guess what, one of the most common ways of showing such affections was through smiles. “smil...

Teen Depression: Why? What can help?

“When that feeling comes, I feel so helpless and hopeless.” Says a teen who suffers from depression. ” Other times I just feel like ending my life.” He added.  The above-mentioned teenager is one example out of the millions of teenagers who suffer from depression every year. The diagnosis of depression is increasing alarmingly every year. In fact, the World Health Organization (W.H.O) says that depression is one of the leading causes of illness and disability in young ones between the ages of 10 and 19. These facts do not reduce in young adults either. Over the years there has been a steady and very fast paced increase in individuals between the ages of 20 and 30 suffering from depression. Most of them get depressed from their young age and do not get help and suffer from it for a long while. These statistics of teens and young adults suffering from depression increases every day and this made me pick this topic as my first topic to be discussed.  Symptoms of depr...
