Day 1…..#gettingbackmygirl



 This is strictly an exercise to get my muse back

I miss writing so much it feels like I’ve lost a limb

So this is me strictly going on a 30 day or less challenge to get my girl back. 

So help me God. 

There’s going to be a structure to maintain consistency.

Everyday I’ll delve into a topic, either lightly or extensively.


Today let’s start with Boundaries…….

A very popular word but also popularly misconstrued 

Boundaries are not only a clear cut demarcation to publicly make known, one’s personal space but also check to what goes in one’s personal space. 

Boundaries are not only physical but also mental, emotional, financial, spiritual, etc.

Because of the recent acceptance of free spiritedness, open mindedness and liberality, most people have forgotten the essence of boundaries.


In creating boundaries, where do we start? 

We start from our essence

Who am I? 

If you can’t answer that yet, then start with

Who am I not? 

This will be the foundation of carving a space for your essence and, what you let in and out of your space.


In the absence of boundaries, there’s no originality. 

In the absence of originality, we’re just roaming aimlessly to and fro the earth. 


Peace and love..

Didi..

Attending a Festival ALONE? How much fun is that?

Not every time, “Honey take me out na, let’s go for that festival.” “Baby, when last did you take me out?” or Girls’ trip! Boys’ trip! Sometimes take yourself out; go out alone. Reasons why;   It affords you the liberty of doing what you want to do without considering another person’s idiosyncrasies. You’ll have the opportunity to meet new people and spontaneously try new things. It gives you the chance to be independent and enjoy your own company. It’s like walking into a strange beautiful room with blindfolds on….not a dangerous room biko…. there are possibilities of the unexpected which is what life is generally about. It would teach you to stand on your own and be comfortable with your decision and watch the outcomes unfold.This is not really just about a festival. It’s about your life. It can be therapeutic.

WHAT DO YOU REALLY WANT?

When you want something and ask for it from the universe, the universe gives it to you alongside a distraction. The universe does this to be assured of what you truly want. The first time I heard those words (paraphrased) were from the delectable female rap artist and poet, Eva Alordiah. I was still ruminating on those words and trying to question the school of thought when it happened to me, two days after. A friend who I just met and who was also my editor at the moment sent me an invite to a literary event; a book review. There were going to be a lot of amazing writers and a guest speaker who was a renowned author. It was his book that was to be reviewed. I had just moved into the city and had dedicated that period of my life to writing seriously. I wanted to meet people in my niche and interact with them, you know, you city, new friends. I wanted that fresh air and vibe for a story I was yet to complete. I had always longed to be in that kind of space. So, getting an invite f...
