WRITING The year presented me with the unexpected opportunity to improve my craft—writing. As the year tossed us into the confines of our homes, writing became my go-to. My adventure with writing did not start as a conscious deep dive this year, but time and chance, and necessity found me plunging into writing. In the earlier part of the year, I engaged in writing just because I needed to put out content. As time passed however, I found writing to be more therapeutic than any other thing. There were countless thoughts traversing my mind and writing was the best way to get those thoughts out—for you and I. From turning writing to therapy, I began to engage in a daily writing exercise, I guess I needed the challenge—something to constantly look forward to. The year has seen me improve in my craft. I am super grateful for all the beautiful things I have written this year (some of which you would see soon enough. Others, maybe never) I have seen my writing over the years and I would sa...

It has been well over a month since y’all saw me here. Trust me, I never forgot this space but, I found the need to take a step back. Over the past couple months, I have been caught in the to-be or not-to-be loop. Wondering; should I or should I not? Although I have spent a good part of the time away writing the best possible content, I have spent even more time thinking. Thinking, about what you might ask. . . Shutting down this space permanently. Yup, I have chewed on that thought for the time I was away these past months.  Stock Photo by  Olya Kobruseva  from  Pexels Why?  Late in the month of June, I began uploading content on Medium, based on recommendation. In case you don’t know, medium is essentially a community for writers—and readers of course. For the longest time, I have kept an eye out for possible ways to widen my reach. Getting my content before a larger (and more diverse) audience. Medium certainly fits the bill and it subtly eli...

Hello world!!! Been a minute and even as COVID-19 seems to be taking a toll on humanity, today is still mother's day. Not all heroes wear capes. Appreciate her while you can. Get her something thoughtful or just remind her how much she means to you. As always, the little things matter in the long run.

   I feel like I say this almost every time I come on here, but Oh well!, I loovvee writing. I actually don’t think I could get tired of it except when I'm—unfortunately—stuck in a writer’s block. I started “writing” a year or so into secondary school and though there have been highs and lows, it’s been love a major part of the way all the way. I would be writing about journaling today, sure the post title has given that away already.    I remember my Sis having a diary at some point and I observed that she updated it regularly. I on the other hand used to suck at keeping a diary—I still suck a bit— basically because I don’t like people stumbling upon my stuff forget I have a journal at times. Lol. Years passed, stuff happened along the way and I felt the need to write my random thoughts and life happenings just for records sakes. I then begun keeping journals—“journals” because I write random things in various books and I must confess it can be hard finding snippe...

  Welcome y'all to the first installment of the WEIRD-ISH series. This is probably the weirdest of the posts I've got in store. Enjoy.    THUNDER by IMAGINE DRAGONS left me not only bopping my head but thinking. Sounds weird? Well, my thoughts created a correlation and contrast between LIGHTNING and THUNDER. I definitely prefer lightning. I feel like it sums me up. You only see LIGHTNING but you hear THUNDER (more like a racket). They both start off at the same time (based on science) but LIGHTNING touches down first as it isn't preoccupied with a show of noise unlike THUNDER. Source    Lightning is more “impactful” than it seems. It does kill (struck by lightning?) but certainly doesn't look it. Thunder, on the other hand is pretty much all bark, no bite. Just a racket to make fear set in but in the long run, it doesn't hurt per se. My inference from all of this is; quite a number of times, it's best to be seen than heard. Let your works speak for you (...
