Hello, Hello, Hello
A little while ago - as in, probably too long ago to still be thinking about it - I read a postmodernist novel called Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert. The point of mentioning this book here is not to discuss the plot, but there is a concept that is impressed upon the readers of the book that has stayed with me since I read it and this is the concept of a mediocre life.

Sweet Addiction
It has been a week now since I cannot write a whole sentence without being blocked. It is not because I have no ideas. I have plenty of them. The real problem is that they are mixed in my head, like strips of spaghetti twisted altogether in a tiny bowl. Under this circumstance, it is almost impossible to take one without messing up the other strips.

Tiktok is starting to make me think I have undiagnosed ADHD
I, like everyone my (undisclosed) age, downloaded Tiktok as a bit of a joke. It was something that people younger than me were into and the general concensus was that it was a little weird dancing to pop songs and posting the videos unsolicited on the clock app. Now, like a lot of people (I assume), I have a mild addiction to watching the quirky 30 second videos that I can scroll through on my phone. Sure, the dancing videos can be a little cringey, but it's all in good fun. I don't make any content, so I'm not here to judge anyone else.

Why I Risked My Life to Drive Burning Tanker off the Road - Hero Ejiro Otarigho
Everyday I scour through a ton of news stories to bring you fresh stories especially in entertainment that nobody has brought you yet, stories that touch, and stories that spark conversation. Today's story is especially about the latter two. It is a story of a real life hero and the amazing deed he did to protect the members of the Agbarho community in Delta State.

My Backstory
Devourer of books, that was my title. I read every book which interested me in our small-town public library. From third grade onward, I read everything from classic novels to fantasy and anything in between. Finally, when I felt I had read every book I wanted to read, I decided to write one myself. It was 2005, while I was in High School, and I wrote just as voraciously as I read. Much to the chagrin of my poor mother.

Scared of Pride
What is it that makes you tick? So true to who you are that it makes us feel unworthy. I’m scared. Scared of what I may become. Scared of who I will be. Scared to find my truth, scared of me, and even you. Scared to be happy, scared to not know when we’re happy. Scared to know what’s true.

April showers
Looking in the mirror in a euphemistically way . Knowing who I am inside versus how I look on the outside . Internally the proper prima ballerina princess with the personality differing each day . Some days I’m logical and some days I’m very light hearted. Some days I want to wear a cute beanie and some doc martins . Most days I want espadrilles and the ballerina flats that tie all the way up . Some days I wear purple lipstick and rock rob zombie and want to live inside of Taylor momsens old wardrobe. That’s my different personality’s one logical dark and serious. Then goofy peppy cheerleader whose light hearted and wants to hug everyone .
