on pride and faux justice
People often ask the question “when will we finally learn?” during situations pertaining to war and peace. Truth is we are constantly learning, whether we are aware of it or not. The real question should be: “when will we finally understand what we have learned?”
trial and error
To know whether something is right for you, you have to at least give it one try.
a summer productivity package
This self-care edition is quite different from the rest. I actually needed new self-care ideas and advice on wellness, so, I went to Pinterest and found a couple of things… Okay, here it goes:
The James Webb Cosmic Album
Growth
a little reflection upon my 20th dance around the sun
Inside the Mind of an Artist
An insight into the inspiration and drive behind this Nigerian artist - one who has had a penchant for visuals for as long as he could remember; a person unique in every sense of the word. He’s got a story to tell, I’m sure you’ll love it!
do we really want to find the aliens?!
Imagine if we looked forward to things with an exciting attitude, rather than with fear?
more joy
An “everything” piece; Advocate for more joy!
remembering the plot
“don’t pointless things have a place, too…”
If busyness is all there is, then where are we supposed to assign time to the ‘living’ part of life?
the social media paradox
a Lagos album
So it was time to return to the West African coast, soak up all the sun and good energy laid in it. Lagos, Nigeria; a state so big, you constantly…
paintings and pasta
a different kind of self-care
The lurking fear of being incorrect
When we think of the word ‘question’, we don’t usually think ‘stupid’, right? We may instead think ‘curious’ or ‘answer’. It’s by assuming and getting things wrong that can eventually lead us to the right answers. Why don’t we acknowledge this enough?
Be Here Now
Partly inspired by a beach trip I didn’t know I needed. ‘Be Here Now’ is all about being present rather than letting the next thing constantly interfere with right now as there will always be something else that comes after. A live-in-the-moment kind of blog. Enjoy!!
an endless curiosity
Go around, explore, see, feel, and embody life ;) Article on why you should embrace exploring. “Even if we deprive ourselves from acting out of curiosity, curiosity will always be there, and no, exploring and curiosity are not confined to just travelling.”
Paris
The timing of this is not exactly perfect as reality has us in the pandemic still, with a fresh set of travel restrictions. But, I believe it’s important to remember the beauty of such experiences, the beauty of life; cherish these moments even if they’re now memories. Also, this is a prelude to Friday’s blog on the gratification of exploring.
James Bond, chess, and House of Gucci
My new found love for cinema and rekindled affection for chess ;) Basically how I spent my thanksgiving break…
why ‘Friends’ is still a phenomenon
Comedy is a subtle diversion from the not-so-blissful aspect of truth, of reality. Even in relatively serious moments on the show, like ‘The One with the Morning After’, there were still times you could sneak in a couple laughs…
the magic of light
Inspired by Tromsø, Norway and the Polar Night. A story of the sun not rising for months (literally), how we view light with optimism and appreciating its distinctiveness. You're about to be mind blown!!
