Rise and Descent

 His eyes tore open and quickly constricted at the sudden intake of light, coughed racked his lungs as he struggled to get his bearings. Where was he and why was his memory so fuzzy. As he slowly waited for his eyes to accommodate the light he noticed that the air wasn’t as clear as he thought. This explained why the sudden bout of cough was more bone racking than normal.  Once his eyes had adjusted he tried to lift his body into an upright position as the hard and cold tile floor provided no comfort for him. Instantly pain like he had never known before hit him all over, he screamed and panted as his bones ground together and his muscles were tight with effort. His left arm hung limp at his side as he finally moved into a vertical position. His worst fears had been confirmed something had broken, he knew he had to somehow deal with the pain and figure out where he was. His memory still failing to piece together the events that had brought him up to this point, he stood up and...

Ramblings of a Lagosian

        Another week another post and I just want to expose my state a little. Lagos, omo is there a more stressful place in this country? It’s like the entire state is built to work against you in some way. Every lagosian wakes up angry I can’t be convinced otherwise, imagine getting off your bed by 4am to beat traffic only to get stuck in one for two to three hours. How did this state even get called the centre of excellence? The only thing this state can boast of is housing the most mentally disturbed people in the country. You buy gala in traffic hoping to fill your stomach and unwind while scrolling through twitter and there’s a possibility you’d face one of many problems. One, You pay with either a 1000 or 500 naira note and person hawking the gala runs away with your change. “Oga oga wait abeg make I meet my partner collect change” 20 minutes later you realize you’ve been hoodwinked and begin to curse traffic all over again. Scenes where the guy selling gala...

Everything Within

First blog post in over a year, there has been a lot going on and frankly I haven’t had the time to be in front of a screen pouring my mind into anything. This was a promise but now that I’m here I don’t exactly know what to put down. So ill just talk about something random, though I have no idea how entertaining that would be. I’ll talk about my time since my last blog post. 2019 as a year was a lot to handle, there were the pleasing experiences, the downs, the smiles I shared with friends, the things I discovered and dived fully into and the many late nights I kept. I got fully invested in anime last year; I saw a lot of shows that year. Demon slayer was actually the first unpopular show I discovered at first and honestly I liked it. It seemed pleasing at first watch, the animation was pretty good, storyline seemed intriguing and everything seemed unique. Looking back I see now that it wasn’t exactly something special, an honest 6/10 at best, carried by good animation and a very toxi...

Change

Change Have you ever heard that change is the only constant thing?, We all have haven't we. But the only thing that wasn't specified is what manner of change to be expected of course there are two types of change The Good change The change in the season, Gear change in a moving car, from failure to success. Of course like many things in this life good change can be shown to have a lot of different examples but, i'd say good change is the type that brings the most constant amount of joy, the feeling of achievement. The Moment in which dreams are actualised is one of the most beautiful moments there are, the elation, relief and unparalleled happiness felt in this moment can eventually provide drive to go on in subsequent times. There's no feeling as good as work that produces results, in that moment you feel like you are truly alive The Change With Adverse Effects First of all id like to say there's no such thing as a bad change its just when adverse results are...
