Okay, Basket Mouth (serious face) What’s your name?
Oluchukwu
Okay Oluchukwu, what are you wearing? Describe your outfit — the readers can’t see you, remember?
A Super Eagles jersey, green jorts, and black slides. Boxers too, of course.
Thanks for that, Luchuks — Can I call you that?
Yeah I gu-
Mmh let’s move on. Why are you here?
I’m going to work, actually. I work at-
No, why are you here on the planet? Why are you here?
Oh, I don’t know, really. When I was a kid, I believed in the whole Jesus thing. Yes, he will come back and save us. But I grew older and more curious and none of it made sense to me. Right now, I believe we’re here randomly. I don’t think god put us here, and even if he did, he definitely didn’t think about it too much.
So you don’t believe in purpose and destiny?
I do, actually. I just don’t ascribe the feeling to the workings of a superior being. I think that just comes with the territory of being human. The desire to do something and chase after it, i.e purpose, is just part of the deal.
What did you eat today?
White rice and stew with chicken. And coleslaw. And like 7 bananas so far. In my defense, they’re really small bananas. Chioma made the rice. It was really nice. And I-

I am on the phone with my sister right now. She’s asking about my joints. I say they’re fine. Then I decide against the short big-brother answer and tell her about the pain I am feeling. She says it is well. I concur. She says I never call. She says I never pick. I say I try. I really do.
I tell her jokes. It’s my superpower. She laughs and I know I am safe. I live to fight another day and to get better.
I am in my living room and the call is on speaker. Our voices bounce against the walls. She talks to me about her business (she helps curate gifts) and her plans to expand. We talk about possible ideas and I give advice. I tell her I am proud of her. I really am. I really try. I really do.
I don’t have a lot to say today. No, scratch that. I don’t have a lot I’m willing to share today. I wrote a whole thing already then I deleted because I didn’t like it. Thats why I’m posting this late.
Today was okay. Went out, came back, and now I am writing. The work week really started with a vengeance. I really thought I’d have some time to ease in. I am really tired and I am going to get some juice.
I hope you had a better day than I did. Please tell me about it. Goodnight ❤️
Oluchukwu’s note: I intend to publish something every day this year. Obviously, this is a herculean task for me (you all know how much space there is between stuff I have written recently) but I will give it my very best shot. I hope you will show up with me ❤
