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.
How Quickly we lose the Awe
Art by Bo Feng Lin. In childhood, daily living was about curiosity and wonder. The need for sensuality, to experience by touch, taste, sound, and smell. 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

Beauty, fame, wealth, or even skills does not preserve one… Continue reading REJECTION

Impersonating your happiness
Culled from Pinterest. We call it imagination but I'd call it courting an idea. It's similar to marinating in cook speak. We all function on this level. For some imagining is vivid while for some others, it is a mirage, easily fading away, not so easy to get a hold of. The vivid dreamers walk… Continue reading Impersonating your happiness
TRYING
Adapted from Pinterest Hey there, I know life gets tedious and it is almost hard to show up each day with the same level of energy especially when we have had to deal with defeat, disappointments, trauma, boredom, or all the other dramas associated with living. Do you ever get this nostalgic rush of wellness… Continue reading TRYING

Surrealism art Do you know what happens first when you get the call? The one that announces the passing of a loved one? I'll let you in on a tale of grief. My uncle died today. I was making an order for boboa tea when I got the call. It is a sunny day, the… Continue reading How fast is changes to was
