Aristos, Runs and other shenanigans

It’s 10pm and my Uber is waiting outside to take me to The George to meet Emma. I’m confused between the silky black dress and the two piece I just got from Wanger Ayu. There is a receipt on my bed detailing how much I have spent just to “look good for Zaddy” but of course, by tomorrow morning I’d

Can you really make me happy: Is happiness transferable?

These days, self-happiness is way too over exaggerated, that it’s becoming to sound a lot more like selfishness.   Disregard any abnormal interpretation, I’m explaining from the most humane side of me.    Writing this was solely triggered after I had experienced incessant promises and pledges of “I can make you happy”, “let me make you happy”.

Unlearning simply means mentally correcting knowledge; the best illustration would be how we have application upgrades, or better still how bills and rules are amended.

Faith et Doubt

It is popularly said that, “Fear attracts the devil and Faith attracts God.” Doubt is a type of fear, not like I’m trying to classify what fear is, but this is true. Talking about faith and doubt, is like talking about the two sides of a coin. You either have faith or you have doubt. By saying that doubt is

Sinking Sands

Struggling or force is the worst way, to come out of a sinking situation. In relatable terms, it’s stupid to actually struggle to get out of sinking sand.
