How did we develop our own cultural identity? What are the potential influences we had and are we able to attribute our identity to anything specifically? Also, as Nigerians, are Nigeria's woes the result of its age, educational system, poor leadership, or other systemic issues?

How do you communicate with yourself? I communicate with myself by adopting different perspectives on a situation. I have what I call the "Council of Zaes". The "Council of Zaes" is multiple different perspectives and the different aspects of my personality.

Just two friends who met at an internship catching up for the first time in a couple of years.

I'm simple, easy-going, and open-minded.

An expressive introvert with a passion for discovery, navigating life across various countries, blending rich childhood experiences with a fulfilling marriage and a dynamic career. My journey has shaped a unique perspective, fostering resilience, adaptability, and a deep appreciation for life's diverse tapestry.

We learn every day through written or oral conversations with others. Explore a conversation between two humans as they discuss varying perspectives.

Literally, the girl who lives next door. What is her life like behind her front door?

Although she is continuously watered, she is like a flower that has lost some of its petals and color but still produces life and food for others to feed off of. Like a light amongst darkness. Amidst this, she seeks to reflect this same light upon herself. "like rain I fall but like water, I flow like the sun, I'll shine everything takes time and I'll be fine..." - dika agustin

I'm a Jim-like loverboy looking for my Pam to help me navigate this scary but beautiful world we live in.

I'm a red rocket. I don't need too much, just fuel and a destination to be on my way.

I put my heart and my soul into my work and have lost my mind in the process.

I'm a glass egg with a case. I am gentle, loving, and kind, but I have developed a protective shell due to personal life experiences. Though I am resilient and determined, I try as best as possible to handle myself with great care and I ask those who are close to me to do the same.

I am what I call a "Curious Foreigner". Someone who is just traveling through this wonderful world finding my way.
