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, ...

An Overview of 2020, As We Brace Ourselves For 2021.


Counting hours to 2021, I give you a recap of how the year has been to me, as we get things right in 2021 and also wishing you a Happy New Year in advance!!

Heyy,

It's the last day of 2020, and what a year it has been! It already sounds cliche defining the year. All in all, a day like this has happened numerously in our lives and thus carries an essence. This is when we look back at what we have accomplished so far, what we have learned and would want to adopt, and also set new ideals to achieve in the subsequent year. It's also a day we find it in ourselves to give thanks to all good deeds around us. 

As I write this last post this year, I give a recap of how it has been, pointing out to some of the things I have learned and that I would want to adopt, failures, achievements, and things I have done differently. 

I have written on some accomplishments in my previous blog post, "We are Blessed", though I can't get tired of saying that life has been the greatest blessing. Unraveling my potential to write is another, something that came about from the unexpected occurrence. 

All the good things also came with some hurting moments: loss of jobs or loved ones, emotional torture, where we questioned faith and existence. Whether you've had more positive and negative impacts or less of those or both, our plans were all interrupted.

I went from loss of my phone, 5 days into the year. There then came Corona, financial struggles, emotional drain, that all seemed to last for eternity. Tried different ways of earning and at a point was conned. We, however, surpassed it all and have had happy moments too.

And now looking at the things I have done differently this year include attending webinars, email courses, and especially related to writing. I have believed some more, become more self-aware, and made big decisions in my life. 

I have also learned to value and invest in friendship, with the right people. The love and support from friends is just imperial. It has played a great role in my life this year. 

Investing in myself is another. From my mind, health and lifestyle. This is the year I've made a stride in reading a motivational book and several articles, done physical exercises, much of self care and treated myself politely. Simply valuing myself knowing that it's the motivation to achieving much more. Letting go some of the bad habits, adopting good ones and having braced thy self to taking that step.

 I have learned to spend, something that might not be good being looked at in another angle. Most importantly to appreciate small wins. These are the little things that I have done that have kept me going throughout the year, and would want to go with hereafter.

There are also things that I feel I have not worked on that I have always wanted to shape and thus hoping to act on them this coming year. To let go of the constant worry and anxiety about my actions or things of the past, and being more kinder to thyself and much more that I might not say here.

Recognizing that in this world, we all have one goal, 'happiness' though with different journeys, I chose happiness as we usher in 2021 looking ahead with bright eyes.

Happy New Year in advance to you all!!

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...
