the tiredness

welcome. the tiredness would seem a strange topic to start my first blog with, but there you have it. first, a little bit about me. I am ibo. I live in lagos, nigeria. great city, great opportunities, great stress. I am writing in small letters 'cuz I'm tired.

I am also really writing this blog because maybe there's someone else out there who's like me. let me explain. I am not necessarily physically tired, because if you give me a fun challenge now, I'll take it up into the night.

this tiredness is that born of having had my fill of yet another elixir. hollow promises. big bogus stories of what could be. every now and then, we hear of one - the best kinds are financial because money makes things happen. but there are others - knowledge, research, information, ideas, technology, associations, the list is endless.

I find that in life there are lessons we ought to learn along the way, to help make the journey easier. this write up is the first is a series on one of the virtues we must acquire.

CONTENTMENT.
