The Daily Vulnerable: My guest list

by Yanmife A. I have a limited number of guests allowed to visit me at home; I have had this cap for several years. This time around, I struck out the names of guests I don’t want to entertain. Guests that take more of my resources than they deserve. Fear. Panic. And social media-induced anxiety.... 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. Several human beings can withstand a week without water, two without food and years of homelessness. But loneliness? No.... Read More

The Daily Vulnerable: To-do list

by Kara Cutruzzula Yesterday I had a nice long list of things I’d like to accomplish. I did…two things? And those two things felt good, they felt like something. But then I thought, what exists beyond my list? So I wrote some lyrics and shared them with a friend. And that one thing felt good, that felt... Read More

Chude Jideonwo: Happy now?

When I tell people that the work we do is teach people how to live happy lives, I like the bewilderment in their faces. It is so simple and almost so daring. Such a quest is supposed to be flimsy. Except that it isn’t. Of course. It’s the whole point of being human. We have... Read More

Freeing up and letting go

by Jamie Varon As most people know, I’m currently working on a book. I’m strapping in for a long process, knowing that it takes anywhere from 2-10 years for a book idea to be formulated, proposed, written, and then eventually published. It’s an ambitious long-term pursuit, one that has no guarantees of any kind, and... Read More

I love a rejection

by Kara Cutruzzula What would happen if you loved your rejections? Yesterday I got a notice that my film script didn’t progress in a competition. It was a tiny flicker of disappointment. I wasn’t totally heartbroken; in fact, it made me remember that I almost didn’t submit. The application was closing in five minutes when... Read More

The problem of love

by Fatima Allahnanan Mohammed It is easier to exit a relationship and very hard to exit a marriage – so I have learnt. There is this distressing truth about love that leads to marriage. Its surface is so lovely, every dig comes with surprises mixed up with catastrophe. When two lovers make a vow to... Read More

Influencer

When fear calls

by David-salt Ayodele I had just delivered an excelent job to one of our partners, with high reviews and congratulatory messages flowing in. During a post-mortem in the midst of this celebration, I froze. I felt a sensation in my heart. I discovered that I felt fear – of not doing this better another time,... Read More

The healing power of crying

The Daily Vulnerable: Happily human

by Ponmile Shittu Sometimes in January 2014, I found the true meaning of being human and how to be a happy one. “To be truly human is to truly know that someone who hides can’t be known. We were created to need each other, to be honest with each other, to love each other, but... Read More

Over-react | The Daily Vulnerable

by Ponmile Shittu A couple of months back, I probably wouldn’t have given thought to if or why people overreact. However, in recent times it has become quite obvious that a lot of times, we let our strong emotions take over, we over-think situations, we analyze wrongly and then we overreact to them. Often times... Read More

Silence and words | The Daily Vulnerable

by Ado Aminu Silence is golden, they say, until it staunch the tide of welling emotions that will otherwise have trickled manageably, drip by small drips, bringing delicate release and no more. I have been silent for most of my growing up and then grown years. My nanny (rest her soul) will tell it if... Read More

Lies I believed | The Daily Vulnerable

As a man, you should learn how to multitask.” “Fish stink from the head downward.” “One of the hallmarks of a responsible person is achieving work-life balance.” “Everything is equally important.” One other classic one is about...

Men are broken | The Daily Vulnerable

by Ore Fakorede Many boys are raised to feel and express a narrow range of emotions: courage, anger, pride, tough stuff. “Big boys don’t cry.” “Be strong.” “Boys don’t say they love other boys.” So we grow up with a twisted sense of what manhood means and a deep-rooted lack of empathy for ourselves, never mind...
