“Sometimes
the place you are used to is not the place you belong. You belong where
you believe you belong. Where is that for you?” ~Robert, Queen of Katwe
So, this blog post is looooong overdue (LoL) . The idea to start a blog first came up at a time in my life when I was somewhere between depression and despair. I had just graduated from uni and nothing seemed to be working. I was broke and once more staying full-time with my parents. To keep from exploding or worse imploding i needed to let it all out. I felt it would be a therapeutic exercise and I was right. Only I had not anticipated running into the creative’s worst enemy-Fear.
“There’s no greater agony than an untold story inside you.” ~ Maya Angelou
I
kept second-guessing myself wondering if I would be any good, wondering
how I could compete with those who already had similar blogs to mine.
What if they don’t like me? What if am not good enough? Or worse still,
what if am good but can’t live up to the expectations others have of me?
All of these and a myriad of other limiting thoughts keep fighting for
dominance in my mind, holding me back from seeking relief from the agony
of holding back stories dying to be told within me. So am taking a step
out of my comfort zone and facing my fears…
Perhaps you feel the
same way as I, consider this a wakeup call to take a bold step because
miracles rarely happen in comfort zones. A comfort zone can quickly
become a prison and it’s time to break out. So here’s to being
uncomfortable and living life on the edge of my comfort zone. I look
forward to sharing the workings and the meanderings of my mind.Blessed bexoxo
