DON'T DIE IN SILENCE

GET HELP!

I started writing at an early stage. 

It was mainly for pleasure at the time. 

It helped me gain a hold on a subject I wanted to master.

So when I experienced writer's block, I didn't take it seriously because I didn't see writing as a principle back then.

With time, I saw myself getting more engrossed in writing.

It came easy to me.

It became a medium of expression.

I'm angry, I write.

I'm happy, I write.

I'm sad, I write.

Whatever emotion, I pen it down.

It became my solace.

The need for people to hear me came, and that's when my blog was birthed. 

I didn't even know about niches. All I wanted to do was write.

So I started TIMEOUTWITHDESE. Published my first article.

I was nervous at first. It was the first time people were going to see my work.

I felt like a mother; who was sending her child outside for the first time. So many funny thoughts ran through my mind, but I did it.

Then came the responses from people. 

My heart melted.

Little me was happy.

That was like a breakthrough for me.

I made a promise to keep it up.



As a beginner in the creative space, I didn't see the need to speak up.

I always felt I could do it on my own.

A woman of independence.

I didn't see anything wrong in my articles. 

As far as people were dishing out the comments I wanted to hear, I was satisfied. 

I began to notice a few things.

I was losing touch. Consistency and Inspiration became strangers.

I had friends I ran to when it was overwhelming; whatever I pen down, I relay it to them for their views and approval. Their words were full of encouragement, support, and corrections, but it wasn't enough for me.

It was depressing.


Then came TripleC.

TripleC stands for Content Creation Challenge.

A 30DAYS WRITING CHALLENGE.


I told myself that I needed to be revamped.

I joined the challenge.

After the first day, I knew there was so much more I had to learn.

There were so many things I didn't know, like the writing style, niche, white spacing, and much more.

The more I wrote, the angrier I got because I lacked a creative mind.

I had been wallowing in ignorance all this while.

If only I had spoken up or sought help, maybe I would have been in a better position; but as they say, Better late than never.

I got to meet new people also and connect with like-minded fellows.

I wrote over 300 words every day for 30 DAYS!

It was a massive feat for me.

The truth is, you'll never know something until you're informed.

It's like a person that barfs in public spaces without apologizing or using magic words. 
 
The person might see it as the norm because he hasn't been told or cautioned.

We all know that till the individual is enlightened, good manners are far from him.

See the light today.

Creativity isn't far-fetched.

Ask for help. You're not an island.

It has been a wonderful experience. I've gained so much, and I want you to gain too.

What are friends for?

You could also be part of the next challenge.

Prepare your mind.

It's going to be a creative battle but a well-deserved one.

I'm rooting for you, Superstar!

Believe

Hi guys😊, I'm back from the very long break and I guess I was greatly missed 🤭. So our topic of discussion today is Believe.  It is a cure to fear. For those of you who remember, in our last session,  I said we are going to deal with how to overcome fear and voila, here we are.  Believe simply put means having faith in something or someone. Our focus is on believing in yourself and I mean you. Like I said before, Fear is a negative vibe that distabilises humans. So we can see Believe as a Positive vibe. Most times the human mind is weakened by what it sees, hears or feels and so it needs to be tricked into believing it can overcome. There was a particular time in my life when I just felt like I couldn't take it anymore. I just couldn't control what was happening in my life. To be sincere, I was scared of living. I came in contact with a friend who was living life like it will end the next day. She made me realize that there's nothing to be scared of especially since I...

IMPERFECTIONS

Have you ever gone on Social media, particularly WhatsApp and decide that you'll use a few moments to just go through statuses. You come across things that make you cringe, some make you happy, some make you sad and some brings out an ugly head that will just weaken your mind and break your self esteem. Very crazy indeed. From there you start asking yourself questions that can either build you up or bring you down. Everytime I create a new post on my blog, I go through a lot of doubts asking myself if it's good enough or if people actually read what I post or if it even creates a spark in someone's mind to keep pushing (Pushing P😂) and guess what, if the negative thought supercedes the positive, I'll just tell myself, "Wo, just give up abegggi" and to think I actually do it🙂. There's this song that lives rent-free in my head. I heard it from a Disney cartoon I watched years ago. "Look at me,  I would never pass for a perfect bride Or a perfect d...

Reality Sucks

 Yes Yes It sucks and I mean it.  Most times, we can't come to terms with happenings around us. We tend to dwell more in our minds and heads, not really caring if we are doing it right or not. I for one know what it's like prolly because I wallow in fantasies a lot but then if you keep on drowning yourself in your thoughts, you're paving ways for depression. Let's all come to terms with the saying that nothing lasts forever. Reality brings you out from the fantasy wall you've built into a world that's uncomprehending. This topic came from a thought in my head and boy did it take me a while to find words to give birth to this piece. For the first time since I started this blog, I had a writer's block and that's when it dawned on me that nothing is actually perfect. Things don't go smoothly all the time. Your reality might be scary, weird, blurry, confusing but that's what makes it reality . It's not a bed of Roses. In reality, shit happens. In...
