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, ...

RESTRATEGY

Hello guys. I hope you have been doing fine. It's been quite a while and I feel like I need to let you know why I have not been writing for about three weeks. It just feels like I am disappointing the ambitious self and those who believed in me when I was starting.

After publishing my first two posts, I had this predicament of not having content for the next post. Mind you before starting this blog I had written several others I could publish consecutively for two months. 

It is the uncertainty of whether my scope is satisfactory. There is this kind of uneasiness for first timers venturing into something. I was pleased by the response to my second post, which is about 83 page views, quite an increase from my first. I still felt like I have not chosen the right niche or topic to write on. I thought that when I change am going to get a higher audience. 

I had this apprehension that I had not chosen a good niche for my blog and audience. I also feared that my skills were not the epitome. How I hated these voices. They drag me down and drown me into stagnation.

I remember, before publishing my first post, I had a discussion with myself and came to the conclusion that I would learn in the process. I also consulted some of my friends and they gave me the go-ahead by confirming my judgment. 

I tried creating other posts to fill the inadequacy I felt needed to be filled but they just ended up being similar to those in store. I couldn't get to finish most because, in the very first paragraph, I realized the posts were in line with the others. And those that I would try starting with a different approach, ended up being a development post. Indeed this is fate telling me to stick to it. 

Again I had another school issue I was trying to solve urgently on the recording of marks. This was quite a pressure and would not allow me to do anything useful. When I am under pressure, I am incompetent in working on anything else effectively and efficiently.

So much more was happening like assignments from two other programs I had enrolled in.

I then decided to write on the issue for inner calmness. This blog to be precise. It was the day after I felt the burden is eased and that I needed to restrategize. It was also the day when I was celebrating an achievement I will be speaking of in my next blog. 

I had just started and did not want to stop. It is something that I have wanted to do for a long time, and so I decided to make a few changes instead. 

And so as you can see, there are a few changes from the title of this channel, new domain, less sophisticated and that in itself defines the channel on sight.  

There is also a different approach in writing where there are a story and teaching in each post. It's still all about development and growth. There still will be a few articles here and there. All in all, it's intended to convey content based on the niche I initially chose.

I also feel refined understanding that I should stick to my niche. It was when I was writing that I just figured it all out. I was not going to force myself into a niche that would make me struggle. My take out from it was to do me.

Let me know if you've had a second thoughts on something and how you found yourself around it in the comment section. And also please share and share the post!

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...
