They say life doesn't always go as planned; you win some, you lose some... But some experience worse, some better. Some don't seem to know what losing looks like, and some wish to be at a place of peace; peace to them is having all they wish for. But what indeed is comfort, peace or even happiness which we seek for? Does our every decision always give us the expected outcome?

Right Next To Hell (RNTH)

They say that nobody can hurt you unless you let it, and that no one can help you unless you let them. How do I stop myself from punishing myself for the death of Michael? Or do I deserve every bit of pain I inflict on myself? Hmm! No! But I think I do. And part of the prize I’ve had to pay is pretending to like my husband. It drives me insane! I want to kill Balogun and every single one in the family of the Olubanjes. But what can I do? I’m still coming up; still learning how to be cruel. And the first person I’m starting that with is myself. 


I forced my mouth closed, muffling and swallowing down every sound that threatens to escape of my lips as blood just finds its way out of my hand. Yes, I stabbed it. And it is not the first time. But I only do it when I feel extremely too weak for this harsh world. The world is already a punishment, and if I don’t serve myself a punishment, then how would I fare in this world?
