When my brother was really little, he asked my dad “Why is Portia always doing stuffs?” and I haven’t stopped thinking about it for the last like 6 years. Why AM I always doing stuffs? And yet I never get stuffs done.
(I wrote this while sitting in the bath getting drunk, and thinking about the 2 deadlines I have in 2 days time. Ain’t no stuffs getting done any time soon.)

“My son was crazy about a woman. He spent a bunch of money on her. He even asked her to marry him. But she didn’t want him and it drove him mad. He stopped going to work. His clothes became ripped and his beard grew long. He looked like someone you’d see in the street. His personality changed too. He grew aggressive. He thought everyone was trying to fight him. It broke my heart. It felt like my son was slipping away. He was only thirty and had given up on the world. Everyone told me he was cursed. I tried everything. I prayed to God. I went to mosques. I went to spiritual advisors. I gave money to psychics, but nothing worked. Then one day I was sitting in this very spot, and a doctor stopped to visit. He asked me what was wrong. I told him everything, and he asked to see my son. I’ll never forget that day. That man is the reason for everything good in my life. He brought my son back to me. My son is taking medicine now. He’s working. He’s shaved. He’s laughing again. I still believe that God is the one who healed him. But thank God for good doctors.” (Cairo, Egypt)
Yo you know how I said before that Hi Ho is my favourite channel on YouTube?
The “Kids Try” series is brilliant and features my favourite person ever, CLEWA, but the “Kids Meet” series is INCREDIBLE. Can’t recommend highly enough.
It’s basically a series where kids meet someone who is unique in some way, be it a disability, an interesting job, a member of the LGBT community etc., and they have the opportunity to openly ask questions. The kids are always so respectful, polite and genuinely interested,
and you get to hear the answers to questions that you may be 😨 to ask, or understand more about people you might not meet in your day-to-day life.
It’s fascinating.
