Save World Or Save Self?

I can't believe it!

Just yesterday I was confident that I'll never run out of what to write about in a world where a lot is happening.

But I was wrong.

As ironic as it may seem, I actually found writing a bit difficult today because I wondered about what to write.

Not because the world suddenly grew still.

On the contrary, because there are so many things happening all at once it's become hard to keep up.

There's:

• The war between Israel and Palestine
• The coup in Niger
• The forgery of certificates by the Nigerian president
• Drake’s flop in an anticipated album
• Grammy nomination
• Jada says she’s been separated from Will Smith since 2016
• Davido's newborn Twins
• The Twitter Swindler….

Literally, a lot’s been happening.

It would have been crazy if this were the COVID or Ebola year.

And while it could have been an advantage to a creative, I find myself lost in all the events with no proper knowledge of what's really happening.

Secretly, I can't wait to find out what new event the day will present.

But that's the thing.

I'm keeping taps, but not involved in any of it.

Is that a good thing?

Partly.

Because, regardless of how chaotic the world has been of late, and we all meet online to talk about it, personally, life has been chaotic also.

So by merely keeping tabs, I'm like "Yo, I know what you've been up to, but I've got stuff to handle myself, so be good…or not, either way, imma do me".

I know, I know. That sounds selfish.

Well, that's because it is.

I'm not proud to be selfish, but I'm not shy to be selfish either, and I'm not going to be a hypocrite about it.

Sometimes, a selfish person is a happy person.

I'm not going to pretend to care so much about what's going on in the world when my life is just as crazy.

Do any of these events affect me in one way or the other?

Maybe, yeah.

But imma fix me up first.

I'm trying to end this with a lesson, but there's more than one lesson to pick from this.

So I leave you with whichever you see.

And also with a reminder that my opinions in no way influences or cancels yours.
