The Unyielding & Undying Epworthiness In Me
We are so psyched that our much-loved Comedian The Comic recently returned home from his fortnight British tour. But to many people, that probably registers no inkling of social triumph. Flying an airbus to the land of those who oppressed us in the yesteryears now comes easy for almost anyone than it is for five or six ghetto youths to purchase a bottle of the much cherished Two Keys whisky to satiate their weekends’ whims. And yet to us, the Epworthians who share the burden of survival together with him, this is a major stride, especially for a mushrooming creative who just under four years ago was a no idol. Not that we did not find him hilarious then. We ever did indeed. Alas, it took the famous “Shamu” video for the world to take note of his nonesuch, pulpit-inspired humour. The brand that he is now and his ultimate breakthrough lodges the plight of thousands of fellow creatives and other variably gifted Epworthians. Here, one Proud Epworthian torches a light on what it means to be an Epworthian and mostly a creative in Epworth.
The Burden Of Telling The Epworth Story Rest Upon Us All
I hold sorely that our reality is way too burdensome for outsiders to handle; way too ambiguous for foreigners to relate; way too distorted to be understood. This reality of ours, I thought solemnly one cold dark night as I lie in my old forlorn small bed, can only be better explored through the language of art and literature. How I wish there could have been more thinkable mediums or channels to tell our boundless stories.
How To Talk & Write About Epworth
What comes to mind when you hear the word ‘Epworth’? For many of us, a series of images may spring to mind. Darkness, Crime, Filthy, Shanty, Haphazard, Impoverished, Forgotten Suburb, or Isolated and perhaps different from what we know. Since Epworth is a world away, the average outsiders often draw from the mainstream media and told stories to form his or her impression of it. From a #ProudEpworthian perspective, this oversimplification of our beloved community can be frustrating. The E-Insider explores this frustration in the satirical essay ‘How To Write & Talk About Epworth.’ Read, enjoy, reflect and share.
