<span class="html-content"><p>I've always considered myself to be a strong guy. My strength is not limited to my well-sculpted body, which I barely show off, but is rooted in experiences—mine and those of people around me. The crazy thing is that consistency is part of my superpower. Well, that doesn't seem to be the case these days. I've not written a complete piece in over two months.&nbsp;</p><p>Last I wrote was to impress a lady wey de enter my eye!&nbsp;</p><p>And the piece didn't make it online; besides, I don't think she SEES me. Lol.</p> <p>As someone who is always the life of the party at parties and work, I've been unattached but joyful. Maybe I should start playing "how are you my friend" by Johnny Drille more often.</p> <p>It sounds strange, but I've never really been one to lean solely on external elements to feel a sense of fulfilment. Relax, this is not a "Shege-inspired" piece or words from 'Sapa' thoughts! And please, I am not depressed, and I never never reach age to de experience mid life crisis!</p> <p>I've searched for meaning and context in my current reality. I've chosen perception over reality and aligned with my inner man.&nbsp;</p><p>Should we fight all battles, or is there victory in retreat?&nbsp;</p><p>Is ease a sign of progress, or are storms an introduction to treasures?&nbsp;</p><p>Is starting over simply giving up, and is faith another synonym for long-suffering?&nbsp;</p><p>Should we choose money over knowledge and fruit over seeds?&nbsp;</p><p>Do we live to die, and how long is death?</p> <p>The questions are endless, but our time isn't (at least on earth). But what's the worth of an eternity filled with joy when all we knew was sorrow on earth?</p> <p>Are we all baboons living in a zoo? (I had to use that line!)</p> <p>Clears throat: Maybe the answers will come in our time, or perhaps our children will figure it out.</p> <p>To every UNATTACHED SOLDIER out there: stand strong, and please leave your duty post if it will bring you joy!&nbsp;</p><p>Cold de kill person!....</p> <p>It's okay to SWERVE.</p> </span>
