Our thoughts don’t originate from us. Like water in the water cycle, thoughts flow into us, marinate, and flow back out in a circle of ideas. And like water, thoughts give life to our being. Our thoughts make us who…

Often, it is the courage of people to be their full selves — no matter how ridiculous, weird, or frustrating it gets — that has led to many of the amazing people and things we know and rely on today.
What these people share is not genius in the conventional sense. They are what some would call polymaths — people who draw from multiple disciplines, interests, and lived experiences to create something the world has no easy category for.
You want to glow up—to become 10X more attractive, sexier, and more admirable. You want to be "hot." But what does it even mean to be hot?
Think about it, who is the hottest person you know, and why do you think they are hot?
The counter-argument that "everyone has flaws, and so we must not judge" is an idea I intend to break through the rest of this piece, not just because it justifies the corruption eating up Africa, but because it's a psychological trick called "moral disengagement"—where people use nice-sounding phrases to avoid acknowledging evil.

This felt like the fastest year of my life so far. It genuinely felt like this was still part of last year. At a point, I couldn't tell what happened this year from what happened last year.
While my last year's eulogy ended in what felt like a divine script, this year felt like a violent ripping apart of that script by indifferent reality.
The "reality" of many people is hunger, joblessness, and loneliness, just to name a few. But, in reality, we have more food on earth than we can consume, entire industries with opportunities are emerging every day, and there have never been this many people on the surface of the planet, ever.
So, why do the facts conflict with many people's reality?
As you go through life, you will experience, gain, and lose many things. You will also be seen, addressed, and treated in many ways.
And while all these can lead you to see yourself in different ways, often bending to the whims and manipulation of the world, when you take charge of your identity, you become unshakable.
When people talk about the objectification of women, the finger almost always points at men. But if you actually look around, especially online, you observe something seemingly contradictory.
