Wow it is absolutely insane to think that I began this
journey two years ago. I know in the last year I haven’t been as fervent a
writer as before but this is solely due to a crazy work schedule, life and a
bit of writers block however I have dearly missed my writing. This is my
solitude and my safe haven and without it I felt quite empty, none the less I
am back with a bang.
I can’t profess to growing as a writer as yet, but I have
been very selective of what I publish I may have also learnt to keep a few
cards close to my chest. In as much as I desire to tell the world my every
experience I have come to learn that not every single one is relevant and
necessary to share, a lot of moments are simply meant to be lived in and cherished
in ones heart. I did manage to decide on a personal brand direction. That was
an absolute step in the right direction in terms of defining myself and understanding
the image i wan to portray professionally. I had many instances where i was
very confused by my talents and strengths but that is resolved now.
My family life has transitioned very well and i can almost
safely say i have found some balance, I guilt trip myself alot less. I have
more memories with my family and i treasure every moment that comes with
watching my family grow and develop which brings me joy. For once i stuck to
some form of exercise, soccer, which has
been doing my body wonders i have shed quite a few extra unwanted kilo’s and i
am glowing with joy. I have found my happy place I believe, it’s not perfect
nor is it trouble free but i am certain that it is MY HAPPY PLACE. I wake up
every morning thankful and hopeful; i am not easily moved by situations and not
shaken easily anymore.
In retrospect I made the biggest decision of my life two
years ago and I have no regrets, I look forward to a happy future. What’s the
point one may ask, the point is i took a leap of faith, i followed my heart and
i am happy about it, I live to write about it. So many lead lives of fear and unhappiness
as they are afraid of what may come from following the heart, the fear of the unknown.
So many people waste away on this earth, living simple lives and pass on
without getting the very best from the world. I have been to several funerals
and i don’t cry because they are no more, i cry because they went through so
much and enjoyed so little, i look at my life i enjoy so much and i want so
much more it baffles me how so many settle for less, how people are content
with crumbs when there is cake on the table. Oh how i wish we would all clamor
around the table for the cake and leave crumbs of life on the floor.
