Connoisseur of Memories

An open journal on thriving

  • Dcconoisseur Blog

Author: Dcconnoisseur

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.

TRYING

October 6, 2023October 6, 2023 Dcconnoisseur

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

September 29, 2023September 29, 2023 Dcconnoisseur

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

Adapted from Pinterest This post is going to be interesting because even I am yet to decipher what it is about but that's what I love about writing, letting the words take shape even as the thoughts interfere... It is Sunday and I am relaxed, watching a Romcom that has every shade of feel good… Continue reading Alternate Reality

Exactly as she Imagined it

September 15, 2023September 15, 2023 Dcconnoisseur

Artist: @soleoado Warning!!! this is a feel good post. It is all about good energy, optimism, and the mushiness that giddiness comes with. It is for a world of dreamers or dreaming aspirants, there is no graduation from this college, no one is too grown to dream so esoteric contents, so out of this world… Continue reading Exactly as she Imagined it

The things I do not want in life

August 25, 2023August 25, 2023 Dcconnoisseur

Adapted from Pinterest I was having a mini heartbreak (no, I am not going to share what broke my heart), so I had a getaway. Okay, maybe getting away is a dramatic way to put it 😂. I went to a friend's place to stay for the weekend. It was nice feeling loved and looked… Continue reading The things I do not want in life

The Fortitude for Truth

August 18, 2023August 18, 2023 Dcconnoisseur

Adapted from Pinterest I called my dad and as usual, we started discussing ongoing events in my life. He eventually asked about the guy I was seeing even when I was hoping he wouldn't as I and the said guy just agreed to end things the previous day. Since he asked, I had to fess… Continue reading The Fortitude for Truth

Tacenda

August 11, 2023August 11, 2023 Dcconnoisseur

Adapted from Pinterest I always dream of a great life even when I cannot say for certain how the intricate details of greatness would appear in my reality but I have a feeling this is a common dilemma. If I were to attempt an interpretation, I'd say it's living up to one's imagination in a… Continue reading Tacenda

EMBRACING THE UGLY

August 4, 2023August 4, 2023 Dcconnoisseur

Art by Naledi Modupi My favourite scene in the movie "The School of Good and Evil" is that scene in the school for the ugly where ugliness was extolled as a virtue, a superpower even. It was something along the lines of "ugliness empowers us because we have nothing to fear." It is more that… Continue reading EMBRACING THE UGLY
