5 Things I Wish I Knew About the Western World Growing Up in Africa. AI-Generated.
Reflections on culture, identity, and the lessons that shaped me Growing up in Africa comes with its own unique rhythm one filled with resilience, strong community bonds, and a deep appreciation for life’s simple joys. But like many kids who grew up hearing stories of “the Western world,” I built an image in my mind that didn’t always align with reality. I thought the West was a land of endless wealth, perfection, and opportunities just waiting to be picked off the ground.

The Secret Keepers
M Mehran I discovered journals when I was twelve. My mother handed me a small leather-bound notebook and said, “Write down what you feel. Someday, you’ll thank yourself.” At the time, I thought she was giving me a book for school, not a portal into my own mind.

September 9th, 2025 - A Makeup Journey Day
I remember the first time I wore makeup, a caked-on foundation that was three shades too dark for my skin and dark brown chunky block eyebrows over my blonde, undefined hair. My best friend and I had spent hours in her bathroom, giggling as we applied it, convinced we looked like grown-up movie stars, and to be honest, it was her idea. Some may say it was a bad influence, and looking back, I would agree. The foundation was so thick it felt like a second skin, which isn’t a surprise; it was a £5 Superdrug one, and I remember the distinct, slightly chalky scent of it, but it was still a fan favourite for about 3 years. I never used to wear any other makeup, so I would look orange with no lips in sight and dark brows and blue eyes, which is hilarious to me now. My mum is a brutally honest woman; therefore, she hated every moment of this phase, most likely because it resulted in my snooping in her drawers for other makeup bits for me to steal, damage or use. I didn't get it at the time, but now I know she was trying to keep a straight face while looking at her daughter, who had just applied clown makeup for the first time.

Immersed in a Dream
I am a firm believer that dreams are messages. I woke up from a dream this morning that had utterly shaken me to the core. I had a dream I was drowning inside a video game world. It’s hard to explain, but you know those green warp pipes Mario goes into to go into another world? I was going into one, going to another world in my dream, but it was filled with water. I kept travelling through the pipe for what felt like forever but I was unable to breathe. And then I managed to force myself awake from the dream.
