Who I Am

I'm Taiwo. I live inside my own head a fair amount, which is probably why this blog exists.

I'm not a writer by profession. I don't have a beat, a newsletter, or a particular thesis to sell you. I have a job, opinions about things, and an occasional compulsion to work out what I actually think by putting it in writing. This is that.

The things I find myself thinking about most: how people make decisions, ideas that could have been, languages, religion. Sometimes technology, Sometimes not.

Why write publicly

Honestly, why not.

Writing privately lets me be too comfortable. I say things I don't actually believe and don't notice.

There is also something about a stranger finding one of these and thinking I'm wrong. I like that.

What this is, mostly

Writing for myself.

Some of it will look like an article. Some will look like a poem. Some might be lyrics I never finished for a song that doesn't exist yet. I'm not always sure which one I'm writing until it's done, and sometimes not even then.

They are mine. They may mean nothing to you, and that's okay. I didn't write them for you to find meaning in. I wrote them because something was sitting in my head and needed somewhere to go.

If something here resonates, that's a bonus. If it doesn't, that's fine too. We'll both survive it.
