“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.
