♠I learned that when a pottery is broken, it can be put together and made even more beautiful. I'm like a pottery. Though malleable, can still be made beautiful through my scars. I can and will heal despite the astronomical amount of time it'll take._Yara Chizaram Williams•••“ Research shows that nearly 800,000 people mostly within the range of 15-29 years, die each year due to suicide which is caused by depression. In Nigeria, it was reported that chronic depression is being caused as a result of negative effects like shock, death or conflict…” She paused, looking all around her and taking glimpse of the teenagers seated around her and listening with rapt attention.Sarah smiled warmly at her, urging her to go on while George held a book, taking down notes of everything and then there was another guy taking pictures. For some weird reasons, she thought mildly of snatching his camera because, ugh. He couldn't do a better job than Toby. Moreover, that was suppose to be Toby's.An

The sports knights held competition that required everyone gathered to have paid a particular amount of money to watch the games of swimming, tennis, football, basketball, hockey, volleyball etc. The book blazers had debate competitions and educative outreach programs which they got paid for while the socials held different kinds of entertainment that'd make everyone interested paying fo

The air was contagious, cherry smiles and nude joy enlivened the rooftop of the hospital lobby which was devoid of people except for Yara, Sarah, George, April and a truckload of wrapped gifts stacked at one side and flowers and birthday wishes from schoolmates who according to Yara, weren't invited. "Today isn't my birthday. Y'all didn't have to do this." He grinned widely at all of them gathered."Actually, it was your girlfriend's idea." Sarah interjected and he fixated an arched brow at Yara who let out a gleeful sigh."I know. I just really wanted to throw you a part

Yara said nothing except to sit still and stare blankly into space. She was aware of her environment, she was aware of the woman who had calmly been entertaining her silence for almost a month, she was aware of the reason she had come to her in the first place. She was aware that the woman, Chimereya also called Reya was her therapist ever since Toby's demise.It didn't make her speak. She hardly

Her countenance was impassive and blank as though she hadn't just finished listening to Yara's story and asking that question. “It's soothing. Doesn't solve anything but it's better than turning to drugs and alcohol for help.” The woman smiled, “Have you tried to reach out to them again?” “No. I don't know if they ever want me. Sometimes I think I'm some kind of bad charm, I attract only the bad things to people around me and myself. ” Reya said nothing, urging her to go on. “Josie thought I was a small butterfly when I was little.

"Good question.” she leaned in further, "it's like doing away with those issues that weigh you down and taking on the good side of why you're alive despite everyone.""But there is no good side of life when you lose your sister and years later your boyfriend or when you get molested and thrown into a juvenile because no one believes your story rather think you're a demon of some kind and there's absolutely no good side of life when your parents treat you like shit and lie to your face everytime." she scoffed, "so tell me, what's the good there?" Reya nodded affirmatively, "i understand, Yara. I do because you have every right to feel this kind of way and I don't want to be that person who would just like to tell you to move on. I can assure you, it's not so easy as anyone would tell you." she paused, taking in a deep breat

It was Benny. She wasn't dressed in the usual uniform she wore and stood religiously at the door, she infact looked different in the floral dress and Crocs with her hair falling across her shoulders. And it struck Yara how alike they looked with both of their hairs falling across their shoulders. She said

It was a large two bedroom apartment that had a spacious sitting room with a dining table, a kitchen and three toilets. At one side of her sitting room which was fully furnished was a scented candle lit up around on a fancy table surrounded by fresh flowers and Toby and Josie's framed pictures.It had becoming her usual routine to say a word of prayer for him, lit the candles and keep it covered in a glass jar while replacing the flowers too. A routine she had just finished along with the girls who had helped doing the house design.“Yara, you really sure you can keep up with this?" April asked in concern.“Yeah, I thought you'd mo
