If you feel the need to talk to me, to be angry with me, or just to insult to me, my email address is at the end or this tweet. I will post screenshots of your email here, without your name or address. Let's talk. Let's unpack this feeling. This foreboding. >>

They subject for this one was "I truly lack a subject."

We must all entertain the thought, and it's weird that we have to even do this because it should be default, that there are no second chances. No heavens or hells. No God and therefore, no power and no hierarchy. There's just life, right now.

The funny thing, this man gave me the first paid job I ever truly liked. I can't even remember what I wrote about then.

We have to beg for our own living space.

We have to beg to be remembered as human beings.

We have to beg to stay alive.

This can't be the story of our generation.

"This country is killing dreams in all aspects. Everything is frustrating and there is no hope. The only thing left is working hard to leave because staying means one is losing his or her  mental health."

"I'm not surprised really, because there are so many out there blinded by tribe, short-term money favors and ignorance. As long as such people remain the majority I'm afraid the selling price for our country has already been set. "

#TheManWhoSoldACountry

"So with all this brokenness, with the much I know, I really don't know what to do. What can I do? I feel lost"

See, for a moment while growing up, things looked like they were working for the country, for us. I even grew up promising to be part of the change. Make my country better for all. Now? Not so much. I gave up. Even before I turn 25. #TheManWhoSoldACountry

The article linked here starts with "As a journalist, then working for the Jubilee Party affiliated Newspaper, I felt a special duty to warn the country of the looming danger"

How do I feel about it? Nothing. It's not even apathy or hate.

This conversation is happening everywhere, in every space you occupy. It was happening long before I sat in the middle of the night and just my mind try to understand it's human experience.

"So I'm angry at myself. At my lovers. At people who have nothing to do with the current situation. And the more I simplify it, the angrier I become."

"Why this schizophrenia? That's all..."

"Is this the curse of Africa?" Is it? Are we the next generation of people who happen to have been born black that serve people with lighter skin or more money? Is it?

#TheManWhoSoldACountry

Will we?

Or just, too much traffic. That's also a possibility. I doubt our state is competent or efficient enough [I have already said this], to even understand this entire process we are going through.

...and how we have left our human experience to be told to us by people we pay, who steal from us, who kill us, who actually don't care.

How is your human experience today? Have you laughed?
