Walking around Lagos town center you can’t help but fall in love with the
remains of the Old Town. A fishing village infested with tourism makes it the perfect
exercise in the pursuit of Sparkle. It you look up, above the neon Indian
take-away signs and beyond the stalls selling knock-off Louis Vuitton’s and
plastic trinkets, you’ll discover the true character of the place. Distressed
doorways and neglected balconies hinting at a more romantic time before
commercial gain took over simplistic lifestyles. Its these little details in
the fabric of everyday life which truly make me sparkle and seeking them out
really is a truly blissful experience. It’s like you’ve discovered a little
secret normal folk over-look and you can take solace in the thought that you
have acknowledged this unique, tiny pleasure and it is free for the taking and
making of memories. Remember to look for the little things; it is these that truly
sparkle.
Peace and Love x
