Art work by Lali Giclèe An Instagram post read: "No amount of regret changes the past, no amount of anxiety changes the future, but any amount of gratitude changes the present."

This writer seeks Ikigai- a life surrounded by meaning and spurred on by purpose. To exist without labels and labelling, to be confined yet free, to amplify each dimensions of existence. Outside this curated persona, I love to travel, hope to speak at Tedx one day and seek to deploy legality as a tool of social engineering.
COLOURS OF FRIENDS
Loving people come in various forms but I think the most potent disposition of love is found in friendship. In Aristotle's philosophy of friendship, it can exist for pleasure or utility, but the best kinds of friendship exist without purpose. Essentially, the best kind of friendship is the "useless one", a friendship that just is. This… Continue reading COLOURS OF FRIENDS
WE ARE A SYMPHONY
NFTs as a means to revolutionalize art provenance. Symphony: harmony in music or colour, a harmonious combination of elements... We have the capacity to inhabit as many versions of ourselves as we can create. For a long time now, I have been plagued with the constant meditation on the various forms we demonstrate living and… Continue reading WE ARE A SYMPHONY

The imaginary colours of dreams and make-believe often cloud even reality. For example, my brother's believed they really could be Spider-Man if they got bit by a spider and… Continue reading How Quickly we lose the Awe
The Ride
Illustrator-Anne Uku This Saturday started grey, typical of a winter mood only that it is autumn. Leaves are starting to fall, turning the shade of reddish-brown, burnt orange, the crackle sound of crunch under fashionable or practical boots. The two friends stirred contemplating breakfast and wondered how they were ever going to get out of… Continue reading The Ride
REJECTION
Painting by Nora Ampova The etymological interpretation of rejection in Latin is retrieved from the word rēicere which means thrown out... Nothing describes the sting of rejection better than the emotion of denial and ostracization even when we did not particularly care to be chosen. Beauty, fame, wealth, or even skills does not preserve one… Continue reading REJECTION
On the other side
Painting by Julian Opie When Adele sang "Hello", never in my wildest dream did I imagine that I'd be using my lunch break to draft the implication of a call from the perspective of the caller and the receiver. Most of what I will consider my childhood was spent out of my home than in… Continue reading On the other side

For instance, when will I find the one or will the one ever find me?😂 When will I make my first… Continue reading I MISS THE THINGS I USED TO WORRY ABOUT
