àyàn: the genesis

The world is an interesting place. That was what I told my friend Tunde during one of our nerdy conversations. I also told my girlfriend that Tunde is a gift to me from heaven because without him, who would I nerd around with? Anyway, I’ve been meaning to write this…

Overture: I wrote this essay with intentions to pitch to a music website but ultimately decided to self-publish. I have always been a loner. Since I was a kid, I mostly kept to myself and could go hours without interacting with anyone, lost in my own little world. I didn’t…

Retraining The Beast That is Your Mind

On some days, you’re tired. You wake up in the morning and have no zeal to even leave bed, let alone do anything productive. You’re pulled into a knot of negative thoughts and backlash. If this only happened once in a while, it probably would be understandable. But for some…

Nothing Else Matters As Long As I Show Up Consistently

I don’t know how many times I have to tell myself this until it sticks: I have to be more consistent with writing to truly see the results. It’s something that I very well know. It rings in my head nearly all the time. I have no idea why I…

On Dave’s Music Being an Effective Form of Therapy

You’re Not a Victim; You’re the Hero of Your Story

Life and Death: The Universe’s Siamese Twins

I lost my mother and friend within the span of a year. What makes it worse is that they died almost exactly a year apart. My friend died a day before my mother’s one-year remembrance. I was on my way home from the club so I could go get prepared…
