Welcome.
Indigo is the page where I share my thoughts about general and sometimes trending topics. These may range from lifestyle to politics and everything in between.
Before we begin, a few words. There is absolutely no time too late to begin a new adventure. Too many people make the mistake of not reinventing themselves because they think they are too old or the trend is past them. I am here to remind you that it is a big lie. It is …
I do not believe in the concept of legacy. This idea that one should work tirelessly, striving to do good so that they may be remembered after death, is, in my view, an inadequate way to live. And yet, it has become widely accepted as an altruistic and noble pursuit. I cannot agree. A human …
Most humans find it easier to speak than to write. Writing is a much more difficult task because it forces you to transform your ideas into letters and think about structure. With little to no preparation, you can give a ten-minute monologue about your favorite topic and not stutter. The reason is that the barrier …
Marriage as we know it today is an invention of the Government. The idea that you need to go to the Government to confirm that you love someone is a manufactured idea. Previously, people lived together as a way to preserve clans and family relationships. Parents betrothed their children to their friends, and when these …
I was watching a podcast recently and one of the questions was “what was the first album you ever bought”. It was a question that got me thinking because the first album I ever bought had a funny story behind it. I went to the market and went music store to music store looking for …

Here’s my football love story. In one take. Football has been the one true love of my life. I fell in love with this game more than 26 years ago. As a child, the one gift I always wanted was a soccer ball. I’d play with kids, I’d play with my dog and I’d play …
There is no room in love for fear. Well-formed love banishes fear. Since fear is crippling, a fearful life—fear of death, fear of judgment—is one not yet fully formed in love. – 1 John 4:18 MSG When the fears you have about someone drown out the love you have for that person, it was not …
I did not read as many books as I’d have liked to read in 2023, but there are six out of the books I read that I want to highlight with small texts. Reading is such an important tool that it amazes me how people don’t get it. There’s no successful person ever in history …
