On the 31st of December, at 11:59pm I had finished uninstalling all my social media applications and was going to start my year by going off the grid. But not only that, I had intentions of reading 50 books within the year 2020. Reverse back three hours or so earlier. I was nestled in myContinue reading “I Did A Fifty Book Challenge”
Let’s talk about love
Today is Christmas and there’s absolutely no reason for me to be talking about romantic love on this day, when it’s not like I’m Saint Valentine. Truth is, I didn’t even write this in December. Wrote this probably two months ago. One of those days when you wake up, and you realise you could reallyContinue reading “Let’s talk about love”
Master of None
Being Jack of all trade is nice, but being a master of none is my nightmare. There’s nothing more satisfying than being skilful at whatever you do. Being so good, they call you a pro. I’m in my twenties, and I’ve been trying my hands at so many things. Every day, it feels like there’sContinue reading “Master of None”
Birthdays are meh!
I tried way too hard to not care about my birthday this year. I actually succeeded in not being excited. I still am not. And that’s because, all through my birthday last year, I felt empty. And I kept asking myself why I felt that way. Was it because I expected more from a dayContinue reading “Birthdays are meh!”
Scarcity Principle
Call it village witches or whatever, but there’s something about falling in love with the wrong person that makes it so appealing. If they’re emotionally unavailable, we get hooked on them. If they’re in love with someone, even better, we’ll grovel for their attention. And if they’re bad for us with red flags boldly signifyingContinue reading “Scarcity Principle”
Questions Without Answers
Je pense, donc je suis. – René Descartes The concept of time is one I’m drawn to. An infinite constant with humans as passengers merely wisping by. In this infinite loop, there’ll always be birth, death, generations coming and going, species living and going extinct but Mother Earth in her bounteous nature will give again.Continue reading “Questions Without Answers”
The One Without A Name
I was in the brothel when I met him. He wasn’t like my regular customers. He tried to make small talk unlike all the rest, but I wasn’t really in the mood. I just wanted to get my money after he humped me, rolled off, wore his pants and left. My customers never did any form of foreplay. It wasContinue reading “The One Without A Name”
The Idea of Fate
I’ll begin this post with painting a mental picture. Imagine there’s you, there’s a road or several roads, and there’s your destination. Fate is the conclusion of the journey taken to the destination. Fate is getting there, no matter how many times you deviate from your path, regardless of whether you crawl, walk, take aContinue reading “The Idea of Fate”
Gender, a Barrier in Leadership at NYSC Camp
It is the sixth day of NYSC Orientation Camp. The first three days were absolutely crazy. I didn’t know that after being motionless for over three hours straight, my legs would not give out. Or that “I’m tired” was going to be my slogan, and like a broken record, I’d tell everyone who called orContinue reading “Gender, a Barrier in Leadership at NYSC Camp”
Being a Writer
I remember the first time I felt the weight of being called “a writer”. Introducing myself and saying, “Hi, I’m Suchet and I’m a writer”. It sent shivers down my spine, literally. Because, first, it meant I had to know stuff and couldn’t dish out rubbish. Secondly, being a writer means I am a thinker,Continue reading “Being a Writer”
