Chaotic light

I remember being about 7 or 8 years of age when my family and I were all in my dad's Benz C class 300. There was quite a long queue of vehicles ahead of us. Typical Lagos traffic situation. We decided to buy chocolate flavoured yoghurts in that pyramid shaped pack from a hawker. The other four people in the vehicle had straws strapped to their yoghurt but mine had none. I remember the feeling. I remember feeling left out and unimportant, but I didn't open my mouth to complain. I remember too, when I was in my last year in primary school. Our class teacher decided to show us how to make Yam & Fried eggs. When we were done with the cooking, what followed was, “line up on a single file so that I'll share it. If you're not on the line, you'll not get anything”. I obediently queued. Twenty minutes down the line, literally(but pun intended), it still hadn't got to my turn to get my share of the food on a queue of not more than twenty pupils. Again, I remember fee...

Among the other big temptations that come our way everyday, there lies the hidden, albeit, very prominent one of them, the temptation to DECLARE YOUR GRANTS AS YOUR ASSET BEFORE THE PAPERWORK IS FULLY DONE. Yes I'm a Liverpool fan, and we just completed the greatest comeback of the 21st Century in the most elite football league in the world. And yes, 24 hours later Tottenham joins us to do a comeback and seal their first ever Final in the tournament's history. BUT YES, that inner sweet temptation to tell your haters that you're already winning is real for all of us...and there's no denying it. It has almost become like a pattern for many to have loads of people working against their dreams (actively or passively), then they begin to “shock the world” and prove their haters wrong, put up loathe-spiced “inspirational quotes” on their whatsapp, then they keep this good stint on for a while, then like the momentum of the pendulum that takes it to one far extreme and doesn...

Haa! More painful than 'shiing'* toe, have you ever liked someone or loved someone(depending on the gravity of dumbness) that you're 100% sure does not like you and will not, even in multiple reincarnations? My answer to my question is, Yes. My cousin. But wait, before you murder me, I was six and I didn't even know what it meant to like someone. All I remember is that, we were/are agemates and thus, she should have been suitable for me. And to state the real fact of things, many of you are in love with situations and positions that do not like you and have no good to offer you...but you keep loving up and are content to bask in this one sided love affair. Let's start with your zodiac sign. Why should your zodiac sign dictate how you live your life? *sigh* I'm Aries, but I'm not a freaking goat. I can't love the zodiac that doesn't love me, that doesn't want me to grow, that wants me to always please it, that wants me to remain static....
