Yesterday, out of nowhere, an ex from way back slid into my messages with a random picture. Just like that. That single photo carries many memories.
This was a girl I dated years ago—back when she was still under 30 (of course). Mfantsiman Girls alum. And me? Adisco boy. Back then, we used to joke about keeping up with the “school allegiance” thing like it was some deep connection-turned-romance.
At the time, I was staying at a friend’s empty place in Cantonments whenever I was in Ghana (inside Cantonments Gardens), and she stayed there with me. Those were the days—no responsibilities, just vibes.

We turned Accra upside down. Every restaurant, every bar, every spot worth checking out—we were there. She was building her business (which, by the way, she’s now killing it in), and I was in that phase where I was torn between continuing to write full-time or finally getting serious with law. I had made a bit of money earlier in life as a publisher and web entrepreneur and I knew I was set for life if I managed things well. So I had a lot of time on my hands to have fun.
My guess? She must’ve driven past Cantonments yesterday, caught a glimpse of the old scenery, and boom—the memories came flooding back. That’s the only explanation for why, after all these time of zero communication, she suddenly decided to send that picture.
Think about it—if her time with me had been mid, would she even remember me, let alone reach out? Hell no. That’s the thing about dating younger women in their prime: you create moments that stick. They’re moldable, agreeable, and actually fun to be around. You give them an experience they won’t forget, and no matter where life takes them after you, they’ll always look back at that chapter with a smile.
Now, I don’t know what her dating life has been like since we split. Maybe it’s been great, maybe it’s been trash. But one thing’s for sure—any man after me has his work cut out for him.
That’s why, as a man, you gotta give your best when you’re with a woman. Leave a mark. Make it so that even years later, when they’re scrolling through old photos or passing by a familiar place, they still feel something.
Why did we break up? Honestly, I don’t even remember. Probably some silly act or decision on my part. But here’s the key—I made sure that even if it ended, it wasn’t because I half-assed the relationship. I showed up fully as I always do in my relationships. And that’s why, years later, she still remembers.
