The Worst Of All
I have always been one to find oxymoronic expressions laughably ironic. But after experiencing all that I did last year, I have to ask this rhetorical question that could defeat the purpose of the opening line of this write-up, “What could be more ironic than experiencing one?”

United States: The New Roman Empire
It brings me the most joy to have to write on the parallels between The Roman Empire, and the United States of America. To give some disclaimers first; Rome was the strongest Western empire at its prime, and today, the United States has taken that position. Add to these, some similarities between ancient Rome and the US play out both in the United States’ social and political arenas.

Free Speech
As humans evolved linguistically, we developed language models and other forms of communication that gave certain words specific meanings. Without these meanings, words are essentially abstract concepts. The meaning of words can be subjective or objective, and this can lead to misunderstandings between individuals from different linguistic backgrounds. For example, asking someone if they are "mad" might be interpreted as an insult by a Nigerian, while a native English speaker might simply answer the question.

Soliloquy #6
Shall we delve into the complexities of love? Oh, love, a whirlwind of emotions and uncertainties that starts with oneself. Something that inexplicable drives us crazy, and we can't quite put our finger on it.

Soliloquy #5
Enveloped in a world that constantly extols your beauty, you grow up entangled in the suffocating web of narcissism. With an empty core and a facade built solely upon your looks, you resemble a hollow Netflix show that revolves solely around sexuality, lacking any true substance. It's painful to witness.

Soliloquy #3
To dwell in the present has unleashed a torrent of my haunting past, eclipsing any semblance of a future. The pursuit of hedonistic pleasures and transient joys has ensnared me in a desolate abyss.

Soliloquy #4
Romantics at heart, those driven by creative fire, are boundless in their pursuit of beauty in all its forms. They yearn for novel experiences, finding solace in the realms of art, literature, and the aesthetic delights of the world.

Soliloquy #2
She was the most beautiful girl I'd ever seen. She was the epitome of beauty, surpassing any description I could conjure. Her elegance embodied the ideal creation of a divine artist. A representation of what the perfect creation of God could.

Soliloquy #1
Await not, my love, for our time together is limited, like borrowed hours slipping through our fingers. What untruth shall I weave to shield you from the painful reality?

The Crisis In Sudan
Is this perhaps another event in Africa’s playbook? The continent after all is known to be an active zone for political turmoil. I put it this way because I am an African, and I am not sure whether being euphemistic about our many dire situations is any quick road to opening our eyes to the realities on the ground, I don’t see euphemism helping in fostering any solution as well.

This might just be the third time I’d written on something related to art. The first time, I hinted at the necessity of art. I titled it, “Art, As An Antidote”. The second one was an appreciation of art, which I titled “Ode To Art”.

Extroverts: A Personality Analysis
This is a sequel to another psychological piece I’d previously written. The first one set the tone and direction for this series. If this is your first time on this page, I highly recommend that you check out the first one, as it went into detail for this second part and laid down some general understanding of personality. It equally went a little deep into the different personality types.
