Lithe

This time, the word is ‘lithe’. /lʌɪð/ I’m haunted by the fact that if I don’t check the meaning of the word, then something may be wrong with me. Also, how does it make sense that my supposed sense of curiosity that I cherish comes alive? So I break my…

The M in ‘Maintenance’ stands for Misfortune

I’ve lived in nine homes and slept in about eleven beds since April 24th. I’m not a foster kid. I’m not a prostitute. I’m not a travel vlogger either. I’m only a final year pharmacy student who schools at Obafemi Awolowo University and lives in the Students Village popularly known…

Growth is Hard

I know this is as cliché as saying ‘Life is unfair’. Still, listen to me. — Do you know what’s crazier than having two mentors? Having two mentors that give two completely different advice and probably expect feedback. Growth is hard by the way. Both in the general sense and the career of growth marketing. Today I picked up the book ‘Hacking Growth’ by Sean Ellis…

Travails of a Final Year Pharmacy Student

I once read in the news that Nigeria’s suicide rate was underreported. Then, I found an interesting theory about suicide. — Basically, if you’re unhappy and you have an external thing to blame your unhappiness on, you’re less likely to commit suicide. Just for the record, I’m not suicidal but this theory made me realize that regardless of the toxic relationship Pharmacy education in Obafemi Awolowo University and I have, it…

Feeling by Kemena- Beautiful Malfunction

Generally, feelings are temporary but why does ‘Feeling’ by Kemena feel different? — You see, most times when I close my eyes, the world is grey. Other times, black or white, but today the world is different. There’s a rainbow and it’s because of ‘Feeling’ by Kemena. I’m worried about seeing a rainbow today. I know a rainbow signifies a promise of some…

Lucky for You

This is my version of the challenge ‘Lucky for you’ by McCoy. To think that my first expressive article on medium, ‘some fucks that I give’ was also spurred by him is beyond me. — Lucky for me, this piece is not about romance. It simply cannot be. If it were, it would have been titled ‘lucky for us’ because how is it possible that we found each other in our perfectly imperfect nature? Also, I’m not very certain about what I like because I…

A Perfect Guide to ‘Fuck Your Feelings’

I would have loved to ask for your permission to be vulgar but as the title has proposed, fuck that. — Sorry but I’m not going to start by defining emotions, because they’re basically a major term for feelings. I’m just here to tell you why you need to fuck your feelings. This means that I’m only concerned about the overt importance placed on your emotions sometimes. …

A Letter to an Overwhelmed Goal-Setter

First off, I’m sorry. I’m sorry because I was going to tell you an incredible story. It was meant to be a maudlin story that explained survivorship bias and its emotional burden on different people, hoping to leave your eyes misty and your disposition effusive. In fact, I was so…

Reflecting On 2021: On Perseverance

One day you’ll wake up and wish your next breath is your last. — Not in a morbid way though, just in a way that wishes you could take a break, explore mars and come back by choice. Then you’ll open your eyes to the new year and you’ll gasp. You’d cry through it. You knew the deal with new year resolutions so you…

A Bloody Letter To Santa

Dear Santa, I’m home. Again. Like every damn Christmas. I’m not mad, I promise. I mean why would I be? Isn’t Christmas meant to be spent at home with your family? That’s the problem. A year ago, my sister said she wouldn’t spend Christmas with us at home and the…
