I wanna see you dance....

This is a song by Deitrick Haddon. The lyrics are so inspiring and i just wanted to share parts of it and not verbatim. I added some things, though. Enjoy!

To all Nigerians
All my sisters and brothers
Things are gonna get better

Life has a way of bringing hard times
That can mess with your peace of mind
But don't let the troubles on the outside
Take the love you have on the inside

And I'd give anything to see you smile again
To know your love again, to have my friend
And I'd give anything to hold your hand again
To watch you laugh again, to have my friend

Oh I want to see you happy
I want to see you dance
I wanna see you dance
You should be dancing you should be dancing

That old devil is a monster
Have you hating the ones that love you
And you don't have to let him move you
There's a greater love that's working through you

And I'll give anything to see you smile again
To watch you laugh again, to have my friend
 I'll give anything to hold your hand again
To know your love to have my friend
Everybody sing with me

Oh I want to see you happy
And oh I want to see you dance
I wanna see you dance
And oh I want to see you happy
You should be dancing you should be dancing

You should be happy
You should be dancing

Hello blog fam. Trust we've all been doing well. Let me start by thanking you all for your amazing support and devotion to this blog. I'm truly inspired, motivated, and encouraged to write more. The feedback from the last short story series 'Chasing Shadows' has been mind blowing. Tons of comments from different quarters (plus the comments I bullied  some people into dropping... lol. (don't mind me. Your comments inspire me. I need that inspiration, so bear with me if I force the inspiration out of you, literally)) have requested a second part to the story. Many people think the story shouldn't end that way. I'm done fighting the urge not to write a part 2 of 'Chasing Shadows'. So, I guess it will be safe for me to tell y'all to anticipate a second part to the story. In the meantime, I want us to go back to our 'weTalk' series, which I started in April 2015. It's basically short stories raising pertinent issues that affect everyone

Chasing Shadows (Episode 9): Finale

“ You have to tell her the whole truth. I’m sure about this one, okay? She deserves to know…” *Pause* “I’m praying for you, son, like I’ve always done. You know that is the only thing that has kept me going…” His mother’s words rang in his head. He could still feel her gentle squeeze on his shoulders, and the softness of her voice as she prayed for him. He was such a mess all through the week. He decided to get his act together before driving to Lagos that Saturday. He had visited his mother the Friday night before and told her about the call from Sade’s mother. She had smiled in a weird but calm way when he told her. There were so many things he was still trying to figure out in his life, especially what his family had done to deserve series of misfortune. But above all, his mother’s calmness was the one thing he couldn’t figure out. It was not just the prayers and relationship with God that she claimed to draw her strength from. He found it hard to believe that anyone

Faith Tunde-Yara The Previous Day "Wait, Tade..." Sewa said at the top of her voice once they were out of the compound. He had been dragging her for some time now, and although she was scared of this new person in her bestie's skin, she couldn't take it anymore. They both had to think logically at this point, and it was obvious Tade was not in his right senses. Tade suddenly became conscious of himself and the hurt he was causing Sewa. He released his hold on her and began to
