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.
Walking from disappointments
Portrait by Luciano cian We must accept finite disappointment but never lose infinite hope- Martin Luther King Jr. Disappointment is common to everyone of us. At some point we've felt let down by people and vice versa. Look no further if you grew up in an African home, at some point you will probably be… Continue reading Walking from disappointments
ALL OTHER STORIES BEHIND
Art by Jane Ruggiero The last time I wrote about loneliness (check my post on einsam), I got torrents of well-meaning texts, and phone calls from friends asking if I was doing okay mentally.

Color of Passion by Hassam Abrishami I was listening to a podcast on the inestimable value of emotions and the gift of humanity to experience the length, breath and depth of these emotions, but we tend to believe that emotions should be ruled by logic and that to be logical means to exclude emotions.

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.
