Personal

🚧 my first submission on mental health, and beyond. Proceed with caution! I should write more, don’t we always tell ourselves that? Today, I am waiting for my billings to be done at the hospital and chose to use this moment wisely. It’s been less than a month since I got my diagnosis, I am medicated and thriving, I think. So I want to walk you through my path of inconsistencies and medical drama. ...

I am a haphazard creature. Sometimes a creature of habit and sometimes I just want to break free and be let go. Habits, sometimes, might seem to tie me down in creating and rigidity. I do not do well with schedules, heck I spent most of my high school life asleep on my desk because the repetitiveness of it all was just numbing. Also, I used it as an escape. ...

the endless desire to fix everything or run away Whenever I face a challenge, I try my best to resolve the issue. It mainly stems from my desire to fix things. To ensure things are whole. And I am always able to fix things. I was always able to get solutions to everything. Until I could not. And the challenge was not some big project in the wild like fixing capitalism. ...

I really threw this page away, huh! In my defense…. I really hate being that person who’s always saying sorry always apologizing. I also hate being inconsistent…but consistency keeps slipping through my fingers. To be fair, I’ve never truly been consistent. Right now, I’m back to basics learning, re-learning, and trying to create again. And let me tell you: creating content is rough. So far, I’ve managed to put out three newsletters, I’m on video three in my fun demo series, but I haven’t posted a single blog here since February. Or March since I deleted the last blog. ...

showing up is a lot harder, a lot lot harder. TW: this post contains mentions of death and suicide. The endlessness of life, as in my previous article, is always constant. And newness, refresheness, comes as a result. Anyway, welcome to my new rant. I’m reading a new book, The Wedding People. And the premise is interesting. Phoebe booked a hotel room simply to die. It bring a lot of emotions to the surface. And, when she failed. When her mission collapsed because of her love of endings, she wanted to watch the wedding party that was happening downstairs. Her love of not wanting to leave anything unfinished. That’s when she truly began living. ...

my not so pointless, rant 😅 You remember those motivational speakers from back in the day? The ones who defined life for us and expected us to just get it? Well, I expect you not just to get but to relate to this opener: Life is a huge heap of laundry. It doesn’t stop. It doesn’t even pause. One day you’re washing, the next you’re folding, and before you know it another pile of dirty clothes is waiting for round two. The cycle never ends. ...

📶 and it’s basically the only Social media platform I use…. P.S. WhatsApp & Snapchat don’t count since they’re basically messaging apps, not social media. Before you come at me with pitchforks, hear me out. I did a social media audit, and let’s just say…it was bad. Really bad. So bad that I can’t even share the results publicly it’s that embarrassing. But the nature of my work requires me to be active on social media, because, well…my work can’t speak for itself. ...

💡 What if the only way to achieve perfection is completing your own damn work? For the longest time, I’ve been staring at blank pages. The idea of perfection in my head seems impossible to achieve in real life, leaving me frozen, unable to start. Time and again, I find myself struggling to take that first step. My process always starts with endless planning. It begins with a spark something lights up in my brain, like my idea for a newsletter. Then I create list after list: topics I want to cover, actions needed to bring the idea to life. Gradually, I designed the whole newsletter layout. Yet a year later, all I have is a Substack page with nothing but a “launching soon” sign. ...
