The Internal Monologue - First Thought

The Internal Monologue - First Thought


As a start, what is an internal monologue? According to Wikipedia (as of 16 May 2022 at 22H38), "It is self-talk, inner speech, inner discourse or internal discourse, is a person's inner voice which provides a running verbal monologue of thoughts while they are conscious." 


In this blog, I will be communicating my inner thoughts and telling stories about this inner voice that I call a guiding friend. The one who stays with me during moments of solitude and the seclusion of study. This friend is actually responsible for shaping my brain. That is, drawing new connections and dismantling old ones. This friend puts me through an uncomfortable process of learning through self-critique. This is one friend I can never ghost or forget because this friend appears to be closer to me than my skin. This friend facilitates the yin and yang in my head to make sure that I stay sane. This is the friend everyone needs when embarking on a journey of self-discovery. This is the friend that Kendrik Lamar told me to keep on the move; he named him "genius". Yes, g.e.n.i.u.s is apparently the spelling of crazy. 

In this blog, I will write about my conversations with this friend.


Welcome to The Internal Monologue.

Every Day in Gangster's Paradise

"As a general rule, if you believe *everything*  your political party says, you are an idiot." - Elon Musk "The first lesson of economics is scarcity: There is never enough of anything to satisfy all those who want it. The first lesson of politics is to disregard the first lesson of economics." - Thomas Sowell. "The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help." -  Ronald Reagan. "Everyone has a price, the important thing is to find out what it is." -  Pablo Escobar. Voting is basically an act of deciding who you want to give the power to exercise the government's monopoly on violence. Remember, this violence must be directed at someone, in some cases it might be directed back at you. In a democracy, you vote and regret. The major party politicians are all of different characters. From communists, capitalists, liberals, social democrats, tribalists, white supremacists, pan-Africanists...

Never Stop Learning

Keep Your Genius on the Move This monologue was part of the previous one and takes my view on learning to the next level. Before I can say anything on this post, the knowledge of self is the most important knowledge you can ever possess. Allocate time to learn about yourself, in other words, the history of who you are and where you come from. Be inspired by the lives of the former and carry the torch forward with pride. Remember, a man can never get himself together until he knows who he is. One thing about being a curious person is that one often asks simple questions, which may appear stupid, but do stupid questions exist? One does not simply ignore what one does not know and takes the opportunity to ask right there. I often find myself asking people things that they think I ought to know, that is, even though in those cases, I genuinely do not know what is expected of me. Just wondering in the maze, life is interesting. The best way to learn in my view, is the hard way, that is, th...

Paying the Price: Unleashing Your Exponential Potential

It Will Take Whatever It Wants. The price is always different, mainly because of our virtues, cultures, DNA, religions, and simple basic behaviours. For example, what it cost me to get a BIng didn't cost some of my mates/peers. Those who were in a class with me knew there was a guy who used to come to class with a blue cooler box full of goodies. He was the best 1st year Engineering student, and I think he later got the degree with Cum Laude. Me! I had a lot of non-school-related issues to manage, e.g., cooking, making new friends, and other village-to-city adaptations. But in the end, we all got BIng degrees after paying incurring different costs. To get where you want to go, it will cost you whatever it wants. You have to pay the price that is on your quote/bill. We are all dealt different hands by nature. It is just that it tends to take more than you initially imagined, and even more the older we get. There's just too much stuff to lose as we become risk-averse. Changing co...
