WHY I WRITE


Ever read a book that left you feeling unexplainable feelings? At a young age I would read and actually draw from time to time. I thought I would venture into drawing like my brother, at this period I do not recall where sister was. Barely know where she came from.  Perhaps, shoprite as parents usually lied. 

Slowly, I developed a strong liking for stories. And soon I was falling in love with my high school library. 

Unknowingly, that I could construct interesting sentences, I would often get compliments first for my handwriting and then my writing from teachers and friends.     

       

I guess University helped unleash that, that I could not see. From there, it’s all been a go. Writing allows one to be free. In addition, it is an opportunity to tell all sorts of stories. Allowing myself to fall in love a million times over and sometimes to make you away that you are not alone. It is a lot. We have to take it step by step.

INCITEMENT

I have rewritten this three times and I could not think of better people to write about other than my family members. Their goals and attributes have added to my upbringing one way or another. And I chose these specifically because I love them unconditionally. Mr dad : if he could still tuck up into bed and tell us bed time stories he would. He is full of stories and is ever making people laugh. He makes everyone comfortable from the word go. He literally never sees any bad in any person. A good listener too. Mrs Mum : has always taught us that we are good enough and should go after whatever we believe in. Her childhood stories never end. Always cooking. And always optimistic.  Boo : was once my best friend but decided to get married, breaking my heart in two. Knows how to have fun without a worry. Someone you can tell your problems to.  Sister sister : my duplicate. ready to exchange birth certificates because I really do believe I was suppose to be the last born. The only hu...

DO NOT DISTURB: FROM NOTIFICATIONS TO PEACE

  A degree hotter feel like an end of a marathon filled with pride, relief and a strange unsettling silence. I find myself staring at my screen more often than not, feeling drained, less inspired. It took me a while to realise and acknowledge that constant notifications, scrolling, and my availability was quietly robbing me of my peace and productivity.  So, I have decided to change things.  I start my mornings with something as simple as a meditation session, coffee and a book. My meditation helps me focus on what is important. I gracefully take my coffee, savouring its rich African taste as it unlocks a surge of energy into my blood stream. Reading for an hour helps centre my thoughts like an armour ready to take on whatever challenges unfold throughout the day. And, I have truly dedicated my best hours of the day to productivity. Even, with this rhythm, I have noticed something troubling.  I have always valued being a good friend or co-worker. I still do. The kind...

New year, new age

What I love the most about my birthday this year, is the growth I have experienced. I am more aware of my surroundings.   While a few weeks back I had lamented some of the life decisions I had made in my past year. I have learnt to embrace the consequences of my decisions. That is what I admire about this lady I am and still becoming. This past year has taught me to love and appreciate myself. To think over my decisions before I put them into actions. In the process, I have learnt to embrace rewarding myself with things that matter and truly excite me. Acts of kindness and appreciation towards myself has unlocked another level of love within me. The love I have for myself is enough. With my new age, I feel like there’s another level of confidence in myself that I have unlocked. Here is to achieving everything I desire this year. Let’s be unstoppable.                                       ...
