Steering away from his usual posts about weighty political matters, Teju Cole opened the floor to some truly heartwarming comments when he wrote on Facebook:
“Goodness me. What a week, right? So, in the spirit of mutual care, let’s pivot to the positive. What has made you happy? Big stuff, small stuff, tiny stuff: share.”
Teju Cole put a positive spin on the ending of what was no doubt a tiring week for many. Also, it’s not every day that one of the most influential contemporary African writers in the world wants to know what makes you happy.
His post spawned a lot of beautiful responses from his fans, many unsurprisingly literary. Here are some of our favorites.
