Sixth Senses

The voices in my head are major. Loud, resounding… Major! And yeah sometimes I ignore them, probably because I don’t trust myself.   This is going to be a short post because I’m experiencing a mental block, so I can’t really flow on anything but I must do this every Wednesday – The spirit of consistency.   “I should have

This Thing Called Love

Now playing Boundless Love – Women of faith… I was legit washing dishes with my headphones plugged in, when this tune came on & I shut my eyes. Mind you, I’m living life on level 2; Love Awareness. This is a stage where I’m all about being intentionally good, open to giving love without expectations and generally living a life

Classism: The Fear Of Being Judged, Getting Judged & Judging

Classism; stronger than racism. Has silently bloomed We fear it, we face it, and then we do it. It is simply explained as the discrimination on top of one’s social class and of course we all know that social classes are based off, wealth, income, education, occupation and of course, “exposure” or “social connections” To be honest, I still can’t

Post Failed-Suicide: Life after death

As I write this, I think about the famous quote “once you go black, you never go back” I transform that to “once you go dark, you never go back” This might be a call for help. Maybe. Might. Just maybe. I remember a date I went on and I was asked what I think of mad people. I respond that no

My Social Experiment & Experience At The Ake Festival

I arrive at the Mike Adenuga Center and I’m feeling less of Naomi and

What it means to be different

Ezinne 101: how to become a writer. If you managed to open the link and you’re seeing this, please hold on. I mean, you mustn’t be a writer to read this. You must however, be passionate or purposeful. This subject title stuck harder from my current read (Quiet: the power of introverts in a world that won’t stop talking), as

Team Conform Vs Team Innovate (The Creative Space and The World At Large)

A new James Bond movie but with the main lead as a woman https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.usatoday.com/amp/2261944001 In my head, I begin to ponder, if the script would be plotted to promote gay rights… I mean, maybe her passion would still be women or the lead character’s fondness would be men… Which would lead to further feminist denigrations like “our world just doesn’t

Say “Cheese”

Before I start talking about happiness, I’d love to say I love crackers and cheese.  Bread and cheese! Pasta in cheese!! Extra cheese on my vegan pizza!!! Cheese!! Cheese!! Cheese!! But on serious note, cheese isn’t free but happiness is. Happiness to me is, dedicating 3 hours daily to school books, 1 hour to self-development books, 6 hours to sleep
