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.

What’s my dream?

July 26, 2021November 14, 2021 Dcconnoisseur

Unknown. When people are asked this question: "what is your dream...? you get like really inspiring answers ... I don't know😕... You fill that one out. For me, it is the simple things, like wearing turtle necks in actual cold weather, a cup of hot whatever in hand fixing the world, one word at a… Continue reading What’s my dream?

I KNOW BLACK.

July 20, 2021November 14, 2021 Dcconnoisseur

Pinterest. Some people taught me to love black... The color of my skin The race of my people The sound of my music The adage of my clan Dancesteps of folklore The memory of subservience The disadvantage of privilege Black is my father The tree of my ancestry To see white in black To stand… Continue reading I KNOW BLACK.

IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE HURT

July 6, 2021November 14, 2021 Dcconnoisseur

From pinterest. When we hurt, it festers... but before it becomes a sore, it is first an open wound. The time before we realize we've been hurt is the loudest. After, the quietest and shortly thereafter, comes the chaos. Hurting is like a slow burn. You keep melting but you don't smell the roast until you… Continue reading IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE HURT

ENNUI

June 16, 2021April 8, 2022 Dcconnoisseur

Have you ever woken up any day just feeling like you shouldn't be here or even questioning why you are? If not you, someone else... have you ever met someone who would rather just die than live to fight and struggle for happiness or thriving? Have you ever been without the will to beat the… Continue reading ENNUI

WHAT INSECURITY LOOKS LIKE

June 9, 2021November 14, 2021 Dcconnoisseur

Pinterest(Huff post)It is neurotic. You know you are acting crazy almost obsessive and compulsive, but you can't help it because your mind is spinning in all the million ways you are not enough and can be replaced. You know there is nothing wrong with you deep down. In fact, you are aware that you are… Continue reading WHAT INSECURITY LOOKS LIKE

The audacity of genuity

May 27, 2021November 14, 2021 Dcconnoisseur

Image from pinterest The sharpened blade of our pain rolled into the precipice of our becoming. What do we call that again? A journey. A journey you say, but it is a never ending destination that may put us right back to the spot where we keep learning again and again... An ageless loop of… Continue reading The audacity of genuity

DIS-JUNCTION

May 7, 2021November 14, 2021 Dcconnoisseur

Image from pinterest. Life is slowly ebbing away like the tides of tomorrow, future and past. Yet, no one knows what they are doing or how to make sense of this thing we call life. When someone dies, the religious ones become more conscious of the afterlife, at least, for that brief moment of sober… Continue reading DIS-JUNCTION

WHY WON’T YOU LET A GOOD MAN BE?

March 29, 2021November 14, 2021 Dcconnoisseur

I wake up each day sober. Yeah, like who wakes up high anyways🙄? It doesn't matter. What I am really getting at is a part of me I don't think I am ready to explore yet. Trust me, I have not the slightest clue what I am writing about or where the melange of words… Continue reading WHY WON’T YOU LET A GOOD MAN BE?

HOW DID YOU HEAR I LOVE YOU?

March 18, 2021November 14, 2021 Dcconnoisseur

Anxious, patiently waiting for the other shoe to drop. Trying to figure out what's beneath the chemistry... Not looking forward to commitment just in it for the grabs... Trying to run out the emotional door. I have played and lived this scene many times over... Terrified, because for the first time I truly want to… Continue reading HOW DID YOU HEAR I LOVE YOU?

WHEN SORRY DON’T CUT IT

March 8, 2021November 14, 2021 Dcconnoisseur

Have you ever been in a place where you want to really move past a hurtful feeling and you think to yourself, if only this other person would say sorry... Then the person says sorry and you are like finally; the magic words! only that they actually don't do their magic and you are still… Continue reading WHEN SORRY DON’T CUT IT
