BUSAYO A.

Wherever you are: happy, alone. in-between relationships. love demands something of

I will be writing about what I am not going to be doing, in the new year that is.

With every month that went by, I made some small incremental change that got me closer to where I wanted to be.

My first few years in Ondo town, I used the forest that stretched out before my school as a metaphor for the dense aloneness that I felt

It is still such a head-spinning thing, that I have the skills and knowledge to actually save someone’s life. What a humbling privilege

I just don’t feel like I’m someone that could ever be okay with being average.

#FirstPost It is more than two months into 2024, and this is the very first blog post. This is very, very unusual for me. And I explain why.

Christmas came - a quiet, harmattan-essenced day and it felt so much like a normal day. Like any other Saturday but in a lovely way

 The thing is, hard years are difficult to learn from while you still live in them. It takes going back sometimes, to realize what you reall

Some birthday things. The Blog-anniversary 2.0. And a SPECIAL SURPRISE

It made me realize that there are so many angles to the idea of what home could be – from home as a place, to home as the people you love

‘two people may be soulmates but they may not be in love’.

I’ve noticed that it is a quality of love that gets glossed over very easily about love... But there truly isn’t anything braver than love

I think it's because we saw that the other person could know our deepest fears, and still think of us as worthy of that love. It changes us

Positive thinking hangs in that wonderful question of – what if things work out if I try. Because, really, you can never know conclusively

Because we sit at the precipice of new beginnings, I cannot help but share some of the things that can carry us gently into the New Year.
