The Daily Vulnerable: It’s not a holiday

by Ore Fakorede We’re under a substantial amount of mental strain that stems from limited physical social interaction and outdoor experiences, being forced out of our familiar routines, the pressure of a frightening reality that we can’t numb our way through and the daily reminders of an uncertain future. It’s dangerous then to assume that... Read More

The Dark: Closeted in

[Musings from behind the Pashmina Veil] I spent the day in the dark today In my unlit walking closet All lights shut out Eyes bound tightly behind my Pashmina Allowing no ray’s through the dark I crave.

When this is over

by Ore Fakorede We think too much when we’re alone. We drown in our thoughts when we’re alone and we don’t know when we’ll have company again. I’m underwater now and damn, clarity is a scary thing.

The Daily Vulnerable: Love and suffering

By David-salt Ayodele Recently, I have found myself unconsciously evaluating my past romantic relationships and why they ended. I found peace when I stopped blaming myself for being me, just picking up lessons, reaching out as friends and moving on without hurt. Then I came across a tweet that reminded me of these words attributed to... Read More

The Daily Vulnerable: Possibility infinitum

The Daily Vulnerable: Choice and all

Who versus What | The Daily Vulnerable

by Ore Fakorede Life tends to box us in with limiting definitions of who we are based on the roles we play or the strengths and weaknesses we have. We do well or badly at something and we remain identified by that thing, forever typecast and stuck within a narrow range. But then there’s who... Read More

It’s easy, sometimes to say. For some others, not easy for me to enforce. While it seem to me that society for getting to yes at the detriment of its denial, a ‘no’ clears through the noise, sticking only to what I truly want. It’s fine to remind myself that I can say it, stick... Read More

Rest

I have seen people close to me who have experienced stress, and panic, and fear. People who find ways to heal by being part of community, by stating affirmations and knowing when not to be alone.
