With @OfficialIanjap, I host biweekly poetry sessions called Campus Poetry Hotspot (CPH) on the University of Ghana campus. IANJAP does a lot more poetry wise, though. CPH is just my favourite. The goal is to make it into a big recurring event for UG students and beyond.

My mom just moved into her new 5 bedroom house and told me to move in with her. Her words: “spending $1800 on rent is ridiculous. Save your money and move in with me. I don’t want to be in this house by myself” Idc what anyone say 🗣️ I’M MOVING IN 😂🤷🏽‍♀️ Besides having my room and own bathroom, she gave me one room to make an office that I can work from and I have my own living area upstairs. Mind you I’m 32!! Having parents that still support you after your 20s is such a flex.

The 2-4 hours you spend scrolling each day (or 730-1460 hours each year) is more than enough time to write a book, build a business, or get in shape. In the moment, it seems like nothing. That's why it's so dangerous. Your time disappears without you being conscious of it.

Am i trippin? or the more you work on yourself the harder it becomes to deal with people that aren't working on themselves.

Rear View, Sunset by Jenny Bloomfield

Seriously? A picture of Jonah just chilling in the belly of the great fish like it was some luxury boat cruise? Looks like ur the one who needs to grow up and stop reading the Bible like a childrens picture book flipping past the cute illustrations. If youre gonna mock it at least get the story right. The text doesnt say Jonah survived in the great fish…it wasnt a refuge; it was a tomb. You atheists love to pretend that Jonah was just hanging out in the fish….maybe even taking a nap or two to pass the time. Utter nonsense. Jonah prayed while he was still on the boat, as the sailors threw him overboard and he continued praying from inside the belly of the fish…until he drowned. Read his own prayer from inside the fish: “I called out to the Lord, out of my distress… From the belly of Sheol I cried and you heard my voice… The waters closed in over me to the point of death; the flood surrounded me; seaweed was wrapped around my head; I went down to the roots of the mountains; the earth with its bars closed upon me forever… Yet you brought up my life from the pit, O Lord my God.” (Jonah 2:2–6) He prays from Sheol….the Old Testament place of the dead. He says the waters took him “to the point of death.” Seaweed wrapped around his head and the earth barred him in forever. Thats not a guy whos just uncomfortable….thats a man describing his own death. So yes…..Jonah died in the belly of the great fish. The miracle wasnt that he survived underwater for three days. The miracle was that God raised him from the dead after the fish vomited his dead body onto dry land. And thats exactly the sign Jesus pointed to: “But He answered and said to them, “An evil and adulterous generation craves a sign; and so no sign will be given to it except the SIGN OF JONAH the prophet; For just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.” (Matt 12:39-40) Jesus didnt say “as Jonah lived in the fish…” He pointed to Jonahs death and resurrection as a sign of His own. Jonah died. God raised him. Jesus died. God raised Him. Thats the parallel…not a three day aquarium stay. The sign of Jonah isnt survival. Its resurrection. Full stop.

Real books change your very psyche. Not the self-help books. The long, difficult, soul-altering books. The Brothers Karamazov. One Hundred Years of Solitude. The Stranger. The Old Man and the Sea. Crime and Punishment. In Search of Lost Time. Writers who understood loneliness. Meaning. Human suffering. The quiet chaos inside the mind. Writers who sat alone for years and pulled something true out of their inner darkness and put it on a page so that one day you could read it and feel less alone in your own. They change the way you see people. They expand your perception. They upgrade your consciousness. That's what real books do. They alter you.

The shortest poem is a name.

Living a slow life has calmed my nervous system. I don’t panic over every little thing anymore. I don’t feel guilty for resting. I don’t treat every moment like it needs to be productive. Some mornings I just make coffee and sit in silence. Looking at the sky. The birds. Breathing in the morning calm. Some evenings I stare out the window and watch the sky turn orange. Sometimes I read 20 pages. Sometimes I read none. I don’t feel the need to optimize every second of my existence anymore. That constant pressure to “do more,” “be more,” has disappeared. And in its place came what I actually needed: calm. I’ve realized life becomes meaningful the moment you stop rushing through it. Meaning was never hidden. It's was always there in the little things that made you feel peaceful and fully alive.

the things you are drawn to naturally matter a lot. they are clues. your job is to figure out why.
