(â'âĄ'â) On creating serendipity

âThe more you fuck around, the more youâre gonna find outâ
- said the man in that picture. It sounds better in his voice, you can check it out in this 10-second video if you havenât seen it yet.
Anyway, Iâve fucked around & found out a few times.
PS: before I continue my story: Iâll be using the word âfuck aroundâ a couple of times in this letter & I deeply apologize if itâs not something youâre comfortable with.
Bear with me, I promise it doesnât mean anything crazy.
Like I was saying, Iâve had my fair share of âfuck around & find outâ moments like every other person but the one I can think of off the top of my head happened a long long time ago when I was maybe 16?
Anyway, I was the one in charge of turning on & off the generator switch & I was duly warned to always wear my slippers whenever I wanted to do that. And I did. I wore my slippers until I forgot to one day & didnât wear them when it was time to turn the switch.
Nothing happened to me. I got away with it without slippers.
Then I stopped wearing my slippers âcos itâs an added stress. And I got away with it many times. Until I didnât.
The day came when I didnât wear my slippers as usual & I went to turn on the generator switch.
I had fucked around long enough & it was time for me to find out. And I found out badly âcos I was electrocuted (aka shocked) that day. It was pretty bad & scary but it wasnât too crazy, I was fine the next day. End of story.
Actually, thatâs a terrible example of âserendipityâ. Serendipity is more delightful than what I just shared.
Itâs when something unexpected happens by chance leading to an amazing occurrence or discovery.
Itâs passing through a different route when walking home one day & meeting the love of your life on the way. Itâs fucking around & finding out.
âif you never fuck around, you will never find outâ - the old man said at the end of the video.
So the next time you get the chance to do something different from the norm, like adding salt to your garri instead of sugar, maybe try it out?
You might either give yourself food poisoning or discover the next best recipe. Who knows. Just fuck around & find out :)
â Anonymous question of the day
âNow that you have some clarity, or I think you do. What next do you want out of life?â
Clarity. Iâm flattered you think I have even some of that.
What next do I want out of life⌠I want to experience it. Specifically, I mean travel & discover. Those beautiful pictures I see online, I want to be at the center of it & soak it in. All those food, I want to know what they taste like. Pretty sure I have other skills/talents Iâll only know about if I experience life.
Also, I would like to [redacted].

đ Kimiko is missing
Sometime this month we had a few visitors over & Kimiko just disappeared into thin air.
We spent hours looking around the house for this guy & waiting for it to turn up but it just ghosted us.
Until later in the evening when the visitors left. Then bro crawled out of the kitchen store where it had been hiding sleeping & I was just like⌠âso this guy can be this smart? To know when someone from outside infiltrates the house & back away from themâ
I was surprised & impressed actually. If only the smartness was an all-rounder. Because you canât be that smart & still be chasing your own shadow in the dark or trying to prey on Suki the bird. Pick a hustle please.
Origin story of Kimiko is in this letter in case youâre new here
đ July

July came, and now itâs going. The mood for the month was giving âhopeless romanticâ & the show I watched was so indulging.
âHidden Loveâ
Asides that, it was pretty uneventful. And I donât mind it at all.
Next month though⌠August. Iâm super excited for it. Number 1 reason being that itâs my birth month đ
Let the countdown to the 16th begin đĽđĽđĽ
Dear investor, Iâm happy youâre here đ
See you in August đđ
