The point

  I have been asking myself recently, what is the point? Why am I doing this this? Why did I push myself to start blogging online?


It took me a lot of courage to finally start blogging online,  and I can't say I regret it. Right now I am glad that I found the courage to do something that I love and carry it through. I am not really doing this for people, but I am doing it for me, even though I have the hope that people will start reading my blog. 

The initial concept of the blog is not tied to one specific niche, I wanted to just write about my life experiences after high school and how being in school has shaped my life. I also wanted to write about my life experiences in general. I have been asking myself what I am going to do with all these books that I keep filling up, I will probably burn them or sell them, they have very interesting and authentic content. Writing helps me to navigate my way forward.

  And I just love writing, I enjoy it, and I am good at it, and I do envision myself being paid to do it at some point in my life. Everyone has to start somewhere, and this is my humble beginning.

One of the fears I had was that what if people don't read my blog? What then? But then, I told myself that I am doing this for me more than for anyone else, this is my brainchild and I would love to see it grow. There are tons of people on the internet who encourage you to find what works for you and do that, and I tried a lot of ideas that people recommended. But nothing was actually working for me.

I have tried things like Instagram and I realised that it is not really my cup of tea, because I literally have nothing to post, nothing, there is nothing aesthetic about my life that I would to share with the world right now. I do have an interest in becoming an influencer someday. 

Writing for me is bliss. A peaceful space. writing is what works for me so that is why I want to put my writing out there. I would like to make a living out of writing, and just get paid to write. This is one of my hopes that someone will see my blog and hire me to write something for them, which is why I am reminding you to engage, follow, and share, and watch out for my next post...

A moment of confusion: story of my life

 Today I would like to talk about something that I have been thinking a lot about lately. This involves someone of the opposite gender. Ever since I have given my life to Christ and actively sought Him, my perspective on romantic relationships has shifted drastically. Here is the story, grab a chair, it's quite long... Let me give the guy the name K. K and I have known each other for about 5 years now. We tried something back when I was in high school. It wasn't really a relationship, but at that time, it was the closest I had to a relationship. This was because was unavailable most of the time because of my strict parents and also because we lived far apart, and could only see each other whenever I got a chance to go to town, which was not very often. So most of our relationship was on the phone, basically, our relationship deepened on the phone.  Things were going smoothly until I lost my phone at school, we didn't communicate for about 3-4 months. I could only contact hi

Happy New Week

Hi, welcome to my blog. Today is day 10/365 of blogging everyday for a year. My life is so boring, I have no idea what I will be blogging about in the next 355 days, but please bear with me, because God is good.  Remember the things I said I am looking forward to in this new month ?, they're currently stagnant. But I have a small amount of hope that things wiI start moving. I haven't left the house since this month started. It's been quite a while since I stepped out of the house, the idea of it kinda scares me now.  I am dedicating more time to reading the Bible and spending time with God, and this 'boring' phase in my life is exactly what I need to focus on myself and my relationship with God. As I mentioned some time ago, I am taking a break from social media(Instagram, TikTok, Facebook), for some time. I have made an exception with YouTube, I will only allow myself 3 videos a week max. This break is going to help me reduce external voices and/or influence in my

Being a student/ learner

 What does it mean to be a student? Is it only going to school and sitting in class? Let me tell you what I think. Being a student is about being teachable and willing to learn new things or to learn old things differently. I believe an old dog can be taught new tricks, no one is ever too old to learn anything. At the end of the day, life is the greatest teacher. So as long as you're still alive, make every day an opportunity to learn something new. There was a point in my life where I felt like everything was going south, I kept asking myself "Why is this happening to me ?" and someone said to me "The question you should be asking is "What can I learn from this ?" That response forever altered my thought pattern and my overall perception of life. This helped me to get out of the victim mindset and actually learn from different situations. The same applies in school if you fail a grade, you will find yourself repeating another year in the same class, with d
