WRITER'S BLOCK.


Well, we all have those days where it feels as though our brain is empty and void of the ability to write(by "we" I mean writers)

Writer's block is real, but with my level of consistent writing you may doubt that. For the past few months that I engaged on this Xday writing challenge that requires me to write a content everyday, has been the most challenging months of my entire life. 

There are days where I write and it doesn't make sense to me and I delete and then write again and then delete, I could repeat this order over and over again until it clicks. There are days where what I post as the content of the day doesn't seem good enough for me. There are days where I'm scared that my content didn't do justice to expressing my thoughts, like "I should've said things differently". There are days where I'm scared that my readers would misinterpret my content. 

Today's not so different, only that my head is blank and my battery is critically low. I have had days where I write my contents so fast I don't read twice because of an almost dying battery, but those days I have something to write about. 

Sitting with my low battery scrolling through my notepad in search for inspiration, and it just occurred to me how amazing I have been. For real, it been closely 200days of consistent writing! Who knew I could commit to something that long?

Dearest reader, a writer once said that the best hack to get over a writer's block is to writer about it. So I did, therefore, it pretty much worked. You could recommend to a writer you know😊

"NOT ADMITTED"

Image
She clicks on the Whatsapp group chat,  Yet another "Congratulations, you've been admitted", with her heart heavy, she angrily leaves the group, minimize out of Whatsapp. There she is patiently waiting for chrome to load her admission status, this is the third time today she's logging into her jamb caps.  Her eyes almost eager with hope, she muttered under her breath, "God please" The network server makes matter worst by going sluggishly as she clickes "Regular admission status" she closes her eyes, hoping against hope, praying fervently, that this time it'd be different.  But it's not, because as she opens her eyes slowly, she's greeted with an arrogantly boldly written, "NOT ADMITTED", screaming at her. Suddenly the dam breaks.  Silently, tears begin to stream down her eyes, taking a rather familiar router via her chin.  The urge to throw her phone across the room intensifies, she wishes she could will her admission into exi...

TEAM WORK

Image
It can be quite frustrating when a collective effort results in only one person receiving all the praise. Even if my contribution is just 1%, it shouldn’t be overlooked. You never know how these small efforts can make a significant difference. My bubugaga is back from school, and today we did a lot of tidying up. It’s amazing how I suddenly find the energy to work when she's around, despite my usual laziness. After completing so much work, we took a break—we were honestly worn out. Fast forward to the end of the day: everyone applauded her for a job well done, as though it was solely her effort. It felt off because I felt I deserved some recognition too—it was teamwork, after all. So, the point is, you never know how hurtful it can be when someone's effort goes unacknowledged. No matter how small the contribution, appreciate it alongside the major ones. Dearest reader, do you find yourself annoyed like myself when your effort is overlooked in a team work?  @favvy_Ok...

LESS THAN ONE.

Image
There are days when my arms are too heavy to hold a pen, my brain too disorganized to put a sentence together, my thoughts an unending swirl of emotions. But then there are days—days when my smile can break through your screen, invade your life, and steal alongside your heart. Days when my excitement can be likened to that of a 2-year-old, where my inquisitiveness and curiosity know no bounds. Well, today is the latter. But like a poet I love once said, "Even if the light's turned on and my fears are not gone, I'll give it my best shot because the show must go on." So, I'd like to talk about something today: the idea of "LESS THAN ONE." But before we dive into this, allow me to tell you a story. ***** Once upon a time, I had a friend. You know that feeling of being friends with the girl every guy wants, so you get a lot of "Please help me talk to your friend"? In school, we had our lunch bought by different guys each day—one of the ...
