STRIPPED...........FEAR

Image
It came up to me in quite a deceptive manner. When the apartments of my frail heart was occupied with none other than hope for the future. It walked in as a companion to push me to greater heights. How that push actually pushed me into a cocoon.  Then came betrayals in one's self, denials, failed efforts and most importantly anxiety.  Early night tuck ins turned to late nights filled with trying to figure out life and after that gruesome exercise, that old cold pressing fear takes over and cancels out the efforts and the work put in.  I lived with fear and over time it degenerated to constant anxiety. Scared to the bones about what the future holds and even how to start out. I doubted my competence for such a long time. My waste bin constantly filled with piles of scraped wriggled papers from articles written that never made its purpose was a good reminder of how I failed myself. I searched for what could set me free and put me on a pedestal to soar higher. Lo...

Too much infor?

Woke up at 2:45am this thursday morning and finished a bowl of cornflakes with my sleepy eyes. Now i'm considering if I should go back to bed or just wait till 4am which is when my alarm usually wakes me up. Typing with your eyes half closed is fun too. I feel like a pro using a typewritter and pushing down those buttons and enjoying it make that sound. You may be wondering whats the aim of this post. I'm wondering so too. I'm kinda racking my brain to find some exotic words to throw in just so this post doesn't end with my being a midnight foodie. Well maybe I figured out a moral to the story. Wake up any time you are hungry and eat. You know why? Just because you have to live a little and sometimes break that rule that says you have to wake up at 6am before you can have your breakfast. I'm definitely going back to bed cause sleep still conveniently wants to make me late for work.

MUCH ADO ABOUT YOUR 20s

Dear ''twenty something'' year old buddy, How has life been since you clocked 20? Just the other day I was ecstatic about 23 and I was just about to finish serving (Nation Youth Service Corps). I had a lot of things I hoped to do, but then, I had one problem: I didn't have a CV (curriculum vitae). I didn't know how to go about the job searching thing and I was pretty worried about that.  The next year after service, I was working and surviving miraculously. The months I stayed up late at night trying to figure out my path and feeling so pressured about not having a job were just behind me. I was so pressured you know. None of my friends ever came home after Service. They all found jobs but I was home and feeling miserable.  However, it was in that time I decided to Horne my writing skills and start a blog. It was still that time I started off my editing career on a low key which landed me my second job. This little recap...

Filled To The Brim With Fake Confidence.

So many dreams are buried in low self esteem. The fight and struggle to stay balanced between low self esteem and over confidence is really tough. Some of us don't talk about it because we think everyone else got it all figured out and you are alone in that struggle. You are not alone. So many of us are still in the journey towards finding that balance (Self Confidence). I recently started the "Get in Touch With Your True Self'' movement. The goal wasn't really to inspire people, the goal was to discover more about my true self. I thank God I didn't ignore the push. I got a journal and every morning I woke up, I wrote down my thoughts. In between my day, I wrote down the way I felt towards myself and towards others. This helped me find out some things about me which I always suspected. I didn't have self confidence. Over confidence is not self confidence. Some of you may know this, if you suffered low self esteem at some point while growing up, it...

All Ye Nosy PEOPLE.

Guys, I wanted to really write about something very serious and inspirational but then again, an event just happens and shifts my thought.  I like to say that everyone is a bit nosy, but as they say too much of everything is really bad. I'm a culprit when it comes to being nosy. I just like to know everything (call it being inquisitive). I walk by my neighbors apartment and I'm looking at the interior decor, the furniture, the sitting arrangement. (I swear guys, it's just fun for me. Sometimes I even  listen to certain sound tracks if you know what I mean).  As much as I'm a culprit, I don't like being nosy in people's face cause that's very disrespectful. That being said, I was on my way to work yesterday. I was sitting pretty in the tricycle and minding my business until one lady entered. She smiled and I smiled back (which by the way was weird cause it's early in the morning guys and everyone is rushing to work on a Monday. Who has time to smi...
