Only kid in the world
SoToday I was out in a gathering of people, but I wasn’t really there. I was zoned out, locked inside my head. And as people moved around me and did their own things, it reminded me of something I believed in as a child. Back when I was the only kid in the world. Lemme…
The Eve of the Precipice: Navigating Dread, Relief, and New Beginnings
I recommend reading with this song in the background >> Fleuri – Soldier. “My watch is over, now I rest” It is a feeling mixed with the dread of an undesirable outcome and the relief that comes with knowing it will soon be over. The precipice is the final moment before a potentially life changing…
Flyer Etiquette: The Saint’s Paradox
It’s Monday morning and you’re waltzing down the street. You’re thinking about that important meeting you have in a few hours when suddenly, out of nowhere, they emerge from the shadows.

The Duality effect: A Look into How Identical Experiences Influence People Differently
Disclaimer: Results May Vary Some people experience oppression and then they grow to detest it, dedicate their lives to put an end to it, they fight it at every turn and in whatever form it may appear, whenever it may appear, while some other people experience the same oppression but only loathe being oppressed, they…
Short story – Diamonds
Mr. Eric was the best boss I ever had, he was kind, funny, generous and probably the richest man in Africa, ‘probably’, because nobody knew his true worth. He made his money selling diamonds in the black market and had a weird knack for predicting the future. Every major sporting event and every election, if…

Inherent Goodness: The Justification Factor
There is an age old debate about the nature of humanity. Are we born good and learn evil? Or are we born with tendencies for both? Leaving our experiences to shape us and push us either to good or evil. It is a debate because arguments can and have been made for both sides. So…
