Paper Hearts &Plastic Pins: Love Is…



Love is
A reaction of positives and negatives
Caught in a whirlwind of indecisives
I don’t know what love is

Love is
A hook dangling bait
Promising much but offering dead weight
I don’t know what love is

Love is
Not all it’s made out to be
But it makes room for you and me
Does it? I don’t know.. Does it?

Does it
Last a lifetime like dulled out pain?
Not quite in your consciousness but never wanes?
I don’t know.. Does it?

Does it
Last a short while but shines bright?
More a firecracker than candlelight
I don’t know what love is

Does it
Break your heart and wake your soul
Or dull your soul and leave you whole
I don’t know what love is.

Paper Hearts & Plastic Pins: The quintessential Enigma

Hello world, this week on ”The Over Thinker” is a love themed week ”Paper Hearts & Plastic Pins”. We will be having guest writers share what love means to them. I really hope you enjoy it!


The quintessential Enigma by Tobi Johnson 

I’ve always been baffled by the blunt ignorance:

Like trying to cut an apple with a branch
It’s easier to break wind with a fart
Here’s a Mystery For you
I LOVE YOU
I’ve always been baffled by the sheer fear:
Stop your heart from beating fast
Butterflies don’t have nests in your chest
I Challenge you
I LOVE YOU
I’ve always been baffled by the confusion:
If yes is no, then why isn’t no yes?
And if you can’t live without me why do you want to kill me?
You like Puzzles?
I LOVE YOU
There’s a problem
I LOVE YOU?

Goal: February 2017

In the spirit of avoiding self loath, we’re going to tackle Ore’s goals monthly. So here is an update on January’s Goals; 

  • I didn’t finish reading ”Soldiers of Fortune”. The book was making me so angry at the Leadership of Nigeria so I had to stop reading it. 
  • I read ”Course of Love by Alain de Botton” it was highly recommended by my friend Derin, it is a beautiful read and well written. It embodies the writer’s opinion on Love in it’s different phases, he expresses his opinions beautifully by weaving it into the story of two lovers. The story of the lovers serves has the backdrop for his opinions. I also started reading ”And After Many Days” by Jowhoe Ile, I haven’t finished reading the book but I am loving it so far. 
  • My prayer wall is up!
  • I am still working on my promise jar, but I have an app that sends me a bible text every day I am using this till I finish my promise jar. 
  • I have listened to many new songs this month, I will be searching a few in my playlist for February.
  • We held the first worship service on the 28th of January 2017. It was a beautiful time worshiping God with friends. Special thank you to my friend Tobi Johnson and the band Rep J 360 for making this a reality. You can join us for the next one on the 25th February 2017. 

Goals For February
  • Buy a hymn book; I miss singing hymns and having a hymn book will help me get back into singing hymns 
  • Visit a new place in Lagos 
  • Read two new books 
  • Write in my journal everyday
  • Finish my promise jar. 

I have an accountability partner Toyosi Jolayemi, giving her weekly updates keeps me on my toes. I hope you are enjoying following me on this journey. Looking forward to March.

Through My Eyes: She Leads Africa Festival

I attended the SLAY Festival with a few of my friends on the 21st of January 2017. I wasn’t enjoying the festival at the beginning but with the passing hours I got into the groove of it. The festival mini market provided a wide range of amazing products from food to drinks, decorative pieces, clothes and art pieces.
I have tired to put together the events of the day in the photos below. Enjoy!

A big thank you to Tjp and Bola for helping and Dami for her camera
