About

 Welcome to the Life'n'Me blog 

This is a space for people who think deeply about life — who lie awake turning over questions that don't have clean answers. Questions about love, identity, faith, energy, and what we're really doing here.

My name is MC. I'm a writer based in Nigeria, and I've always been fascinated by the invisible architecture of human experience — the things that shape us before we understand them, the choices that define us before we're ready for them, and the quiet battles most people never talk about out loud.

Life'n'Me is where I put those thoughts into words.

I write about:

  • Self and identity — who we are beneath the roles we play and the masks we wear to survive
  • Relationships and love — the complexity of connection, the cost of loving wrong or too much, and the language of trust
  • Psychology and the inner life — understanding desire, energy, fear, and the human patterns we repeat
  • Faith — not as performance, but as the anchor that keeps the soul oriented when everything else shifts
  • The hard seasons — grief, starting over, feeling stuck, and finding the thread back to yourself

Some posts here are essays. Some are poems. Some are journal entries that became more than I expected. All of them are honest.

If you've ever felt like you were living your life slightly outside of yourself — watching it happen rather than fully inhabiting it, you're in the right place.

THE OTHER SIDE OF DESIRE: What the Psychology of Want Really Reveals

Image
Desire is commonly misunderstood as want — a simple hunger for pleasure, success, love, or relief. In psychology, however, desire is more accurately described as   a directional force : the impulse that pulls a person away from what is, toward what might be. It is not merely about acquisition; it is about   escape, correction, or transcendence . Desire arises at the fault line between dissatisfaction and imagination. It is born when reality no longer feels survivable in its current form;even if, from the outside, it appears stable, privileged, or enviable. At its core, desire is not gentle. It disrupts. It questions. It unsettles loyalty to the present. This is where the idea of  “the other side of desire”  begins — not at fulfillment, but at  departure .  Suicide Beyond Death When suicide is discussed, it is often confined to the literal act of ending one’s life. Yet psychologically, suicide is not defined solely by death, but by  the intention to ab...

CHOOSING THE RIGHT DEMYSTIFIERS - Energy refinement, maximization, preservation, and distribution.

  The Three Things That Must Be Protected There are three things a person must protect most carefully in this life: Peace Faith Energy / Essence These three are deeply connected. When one is corrupted, the others begin to fracture. Peace is the atmosphere of the soul. Faith is the anchor of the soul. Energy is the expression of the soul. Peace determines your internal stability. Faith determines your direction. Energy determines what flows out of you into the world. And among these three, energy is perhaps the most misunderstood. What Energy Truly Is Energy is not merely mood. It is not internet spirituality. It is not aesthetic language. Your energy is the total expression of your inner existence. It is the invisible accumulation of: your memories, fears, loves, disappointments, convictions, wounds, desires, thoughts, spirit, and ultimately  “the whole of things that shape you beyond the conscious.” Energy is your essence made perceptible. It is the thing people feel before y...

OF THINGS, BEGUN: A Poem About Starting Over

Image
                                                OF THINGS, BEGUN🐦‍🔥… Eyelids flutter open Daylight floods in, too bright. Eyes seek the dark. No, the light is not to blame It is warm, refreshing, breezy. Yet its arrival weighs down The fragile euphoria of a new day. Yes, a new day… But with stale emotions and familiar demons. A new day filled with memories Memories, a double-edged sword. A blessing and a curse. A sibling to feelings, A cousin to emotions. For where memories fade, Their kin remain. Memories of lost love. Memories of missed chances. Regrets and yearnings of the past. Fears and uncertainties of what’s to come. Of things lovable and unlovable. Of words spoken and left unsaid. Of deeds done and undone. Of the known and the unknown. The realization of being stuck. The weight of weakness. The sinking feeling of helplessness Trappe...
