The Unfolding Scars

Photo courtesy of Savannah Class / Unsplash For the longest time, I have put on a face, tried to look okay, and found comfort in self-development articles. Well today, I just realize there is just some internal damage resting inside that erupts in the worst moments of life. Have you heard of this person who just finds peace in solitude, always staying locked at home, with a mirror as a best friend and comfort? That's a self-description. And just as a friend, there are days you don't get along with the image on the other side of the mirror. So, there I sit looking at the image on the other side of the mirror. Most times I see potential in the person but other times, it just shows how broken the person is. Your smile does crazy things with it but shows no sympathy when you are at the worst. However, I tend to believe I am my best comfort. Other than the mirror is a mind always racing with thoughts and fantasies. Filled with words and events in reality I cannot do. At some point, ...

WE ARE BLESSED!

 It's December guys, the festive season!! Does it look like it? Am I the only one who kind of feels the pressure of the year coming to an end? I merely realized it was December already and when I did, I can't lie I felt a little shiver. November seemed to have lasted about 5 minutes. I literally feel as if I have not done much since the year started. I guess when you grow up such things begin to matter. Resolutions have never been much of a concern previously. However, I would go against all odds to pressure you guys about that. 

This year has not been the best and most of us just want to write it off. It's not yet over. 28 more days to go. Your breakthrough might still be in this month. Nonetheless, amidst the unexpected occurrences, we have suffered, learned, maneuvered, cried, hoped, laughed, unraveled ourselves, and found other means of survival. 

I would say that all in all we have been taught a valuable lesson. To value and cherish those little things we overlook. We often look forward to achieving great things, and success or achievements are often measured with substantial things such as getting our dream jobs, buying a house or car, being financially stable, among others. 

We often forget that life is a great gift in itself. Amidst all challenges, making it through to the end of the year means that we have surpassed all difficulties, may it be financial strains or other pains in life, you have survived it all. It's God's doing, and shows that you are blessed, strong, and capable of much more in life. The pandemic, with all the negative economic effects such as loss of jobs, lack of food, rent, among others made us suffer a great deal but guess what we have made it this far!! 😄And that's something to give thanks for.  

It's been a bittersweet journey. Personally, the effect caused is that I was able to start a blog. Were it not for the pandemic, I would have not unraveled my writing potential. The unemployment rate has been quite high and very draining. It was after a constant search that I decided to do writing. 

I was also able to graduate with my diploma having done online classes for a semester and two exams for two semesters. These two, I could say are my attainments which I highly appreciate. I have wanted to be fully independent this year but that has not happened. But just look at the chance that came by as a result of the pandemic.  

On that note, I hope you are also looking back at those blessings you have always put at the back of your mind and realizing that indeed it is something to comprehend. As I am writing this the pressure and tension is easing and I can proudly say we are blessed. 😄

My Latest Travel Experience

  Adventure at Camp Ndunda As I sat on my bed thinking of what to publish in my next post, I couldn’t help but obey the after-effects of my excursion last weekend. The experience was so captivating that I thought it would be best to put it on record. So, my friends and I went camping at Camp Ndunda Falls in Embu from Friday to Sunday. This was my first camping trip. It was also in honor of a friend's birthday. Simply a whole weekend with friends out there experiencing nature. It was one of a kind. We set off in the afternoon and arrived at around 7 pm. The reception right from the gate was at its best. Upon checking in, they did not waste time to give us a guide to help us settle; that is, to our tents, setting us a bonfire and leading us to where we had our supper. Talking of supper, they have flavorful meals to die for, especially their platters. We then got ourselves psyched out for the weekend by jamming into some of our playlists and around a bonfire to sway the night aw...

3 Songs I Can't Get out of My Mind

Photo by Elice Moore from Unsplash.com Music is part of life and a kind of a free lifestyle anyone can access. The rhymes and beats ringing in our minds have a special kind of peace, relaxation, and refreshment . These effects of music trigger one to turn on their playlists or radio while cooking, cleaning, or doing other manual work, or while sitting alone in a vehicle traveling, when bored, among others. The thrill and enchantment help boost mood. Alongside that, the music carries important messages as most artists speak their minds in their songs. About 68 percent of adults aged 18-34 years old listen to music every day. I have come up with a list of 3 songs I can't get out of my mind for like a month. These songs are not particularly new but have a special place in my heart. 1. Déjà vu by Naika  Déjà vu  is on top of my list. I heard a clip of this song a few months ago, but I just passed through it. I came across the artist, Naika , and the entire piece recently, and oh...
