Oftentimes, sitting in the dark I wonder what it would be like to be lightTo see life in brighter shadesYellow for bronze, grey for ashMaybe even caramel for cocoaI wonder,How does it feel not to be afraid?To desire and chaseTo dream and accomplishTo be in control, to own your own fateWhat does life look like in technicolor?If you’re living in the rainbow, do you even know what darkness means?Does the child of shadow ever get used to the light? mo_sa_ic
I always find it funny when people and by people I mean we Nigerians find out ‘toner’ does not in any way mean what we all think it is.

Stressed out!Angry, annoyed, wondering, rethinking… recurrently.Why? Why must we ever? Why don’t we ever… (stop)The cycle of reading and hitting dead bottom when you seek results.Is it just you? Or is it the system?None to really blame as neither made school.Or did the system self-exist? Nope, it’s not God;God is the only Yahweh. None like Him – or so I believe. Why must we ever?

“The dose makes the poison” Paracelsus Paracelsus considered himself an alchemist, however his ideas on poison led to the introduction of chemistry into medicine in the sixteenth century. Although he was not fully appreciated until his death, medicine would be a different field without his contributions. As at the 16th century most physicians in medieval Europe had little interest in drugs and still adhered to the ancient teachings of Galen on rebalancing the body’s humours (Phlegm, Blood, Black bile &…
