SIGMA

I teach sometimes, and I interact with some teenagers. They seem very in love with this word "sigma". 🧐

Looked around to figure what it means, and turns out that they learned it from TikTok (a platform I don't use).

I searched for contents related to Sigma to understand it.

Apparently sigma means cool. Means somebody with high standard. Means somebody sophisticated.

At least that's how these teenagers seem to view it.

And they use the hand symbol of truth (look it up), to make it go with it.

A dumb kid, with close to zero skills, say "I'm sigma" and make the hand sign.

And it made me look back to my teenage years.

The symbols I drew, the words I said, the lyrics I listened to, and I had no clue what all of these things meant.

All of these things were meant to make me look important, knowledgeable, sophisticated.

Our language teacher used to say, "You don't know shit."

And we thought we were onto something. 🤣

We didn't know shit.

Souls struggling to build character.

Even though it's not fun to go through, it's beautiful to watch,

Despite life's atrocities, I hope everyone of these teenagers bloom into a solid unit of a human being.

True words💯

You are born in Africa when your soul chooses the lessons you get from hardship and "Chigar". You are born in Europe when your soul chooses the comfort you get from chilling, swimming, and still being taken care of by the gov't. You are born in the USA when your soul decides to be born in the land of opportunities but say I worked hard for it or I manifested it.

Today marks the anniversary of my stellar genesis, a celestial event that occurred 19 Earth years ago. My entropy is increasing at an alarming rate!

Lol, lets cut the crap, its my birthday today :)

I have a strong aversion to phone calls — they’re just not my thing😌🤯

Telephonophobic?

I am constantly trying to communicate something incommunicable, to explain something inexplicable, to tell about something I only feel in my bones.

Science and facts💡

Sometimes, the people we love most turn into teachers, their absence leaving behind lessons we wouldn't have learned otherwise. The pain of losing them becomes a kind of wisdom, etching memories into our hearts like a map of where we've been and where we might go. Love, once a bright flame, may fade, but it leaves behind a warm glow, guiding us forward.

Yeah, it's funny how that works, isn't it? One minute you're caught up in the whirlwind of emotions, the good, the bad, the messy, and the next you're picking up the pieces. And the pieces, though they might sting a bit, they form a pattern, a story you wouldn't have known otherwise. Maybe that's what makes it all worth it, you know? The lessons learned, the scars that heal, the ... well, you tell me. What do those pieces form for you?

We're stronger now, and that's what matters.
