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, ...
Hello pals,
Yeeiiiyy, it is exactly six months into blogging. It sounds unbelievable, but yeah, I started blogging on October 15th. I feel like it was yesterday. In this post, I decided to appreciate you as an audience in a little different style. So, I checked my stats for my blog posts, and it is pretty okay, but it still needs some effort from you and me.
However, I appreciate each and everyone’s effort in taking the time to read these posts. The last time I checked, it was at 483 all-time views for six posts on January 4th and now at 716 for twelve. Yes, it has increased, and I appreciate the stride.
I had always wanted to blog two years before I started it. Procrastination and doubt guys! Anyway, I finally did it. Two things actually drove me to start. The major one was having a dull year in 2020. Yeah, most of us faced it. It was majorly on finances. We paid my last semester's fee way after it was over and which quite complicated things. But we settled it, and I did graduate. We should genuinely live in faith.
Economic and social pressures were the major depressors. But I realized pressure is self-inflicted. You can choose not to worry about things. Don't get me wrong. I mean, emotions like sadness and devastation are there. After all, we are human beings. But we can short-live them.
I, therefore, wanted to blog to express, though that became harder than I thought. However, what I do is that I put out a post that relates to what I feel or go through but in a different way. I strive to bring out a growth teaching from each.
Again, it was after taking a writing class at Ajira Digital Program. Blogging was advisable to create one's porfolio and was part of the project to fuel learning. Ajira is a government-sponsored program that trains the youth on the opportunities that exist online for the youth to beat unemployment. It has five categories which are Data Entry/Management, Virtual Assistance, Transcription, Digital Marketing & eCommerce, and Writing & Translation.
I also took a writing class and I have made strides with the knowledge I acquired. The program offers extensive training, and trust me, no regrets. It consists of two days of Zoom classes and a one-month mentorship program. To get started, you need to register and book a class. You, too, could work as a freelancer at your convenience.
I may not be blogging at a steady routine, but please bear with me since a lot more goes on outside blogging. But for a bit of compensation, I am bringing you a great offer shopping with Jumia. It has a wide range of products you can choose from, and have them delivered. I have a voucher worth sh.100 for any item you buy. Isn’t that awesome! It is available for a few. So grab the opportunity as soon as you can. The offer is up till the end of this month. At the checkout, use the voucher code, “WOWZI5d78".
