Broken Pieces



Originally written: 11/4/2021

Many times, people treat others based on how they have been treated and how they know best. Sadly, these people who may have been broken or damaged don’t even realize it. Then, the people they care about or who care about them sometimes don’t see beyond the surface scratch - they don’t see the deep cracks behind their eyes.

Other times, these people also are not aware completely of who they are and allow themselves see or search for validation through the eyes of broken pieces. Imagine standing and looking at yourself through the reflection of a broken mirror, yes, that’s somewhat close to the feeling.

This is not intended to be a long post, neither is it a story rather it is the stories of so many people still living in disguise but deeply broken, and for those who see themselves from the eyes of broken pieces.

For the broken, I hope that you are able to put the pieces together. For those who reach and seek helplessly, I hope that somehow, you get to truly know and see yourself through God’s eyes.

Love & Light,

TA

For My G.Ma - Felicia

I never knew I would miss her this much. People never understood why I love Christmas. I didn’t quite get it too – apart   from the bursting joy of the birth of Christ, the melodious songs and beautiful decorations; there was more to the super hyper and lovey-dovey feeling I always have this season. So, I was scrolling through my phone gallery and saw the last photo I had with my G.Ma. Oh by the way, Christmas was her birth and death day. I’m writing this because of her. Just to share a bit of her awesomeness with you. That woman was a bad-ass! Reminiscing on my childhood memories with her, I realized she was the reason I love Christmas. I usually spent my Christmas and New-Year holidays with her as a child. She would take me to her church and ask the priest to allow me join other children in the Christmas carol rehearsals and performances. She would take me to the salon and have my hair done and accessorized. I hated making my hair, it was just too stressf...

To be Human again

To be Human again Over the past few months for some countries and few weeks for others, one thing seems to have sort of united the entire world. A similar virus that knows no nationality, fame, social status, race or religion; literally no one is immune completely from this virus. As I think deeply about the challenges at hand and how it would (is already) affecting different nations, I thought about several areas of life, socio-economic impact   and the possible lessons we can learn from this crisis, especially in Nigeria. In as much as it is very tempting to lump together all of these lessons in one post, I think it would be more interesting to pace it, pick a perspective per time, share and take up on another. So today, I would like to touch on lesson 1 – to be human again. I know a lot of people have been thinking in this direction. Some call it a plague, memes are put up on the ‘end of the world’ with an illustration of Noah’s Ark. Many people and nations are tu...

LET GO.

Hey guys!  It's been a while and I've been doing quite a lot too. Within, the moments of my 'disappearance', I started a business and this took a lot of time and energy from me, I also followed my passion to work with a non-profit organisation focused on public education in Nigeria.  While all these sounds great, I also within these periods, struggled with anxiety and identity which led to depression - thank God for God! I have however, learnt that the road to fulfillment and self-actualization is indeed a journey -with self! So, over a couple of weeks, I have written a number of short articles as it crawls up on me and I hope that you find a word or two soothing for your soul.  I'll try my best to keep this coming every week and look forward to reading from you too. Enjoy!   Let Go It feels more like a disappointment than pain. Yet, it burns my heart and gets me really upset. I thought I had forgiven them. I thought I had moved on....
