Friendly Reminder

I started volunteering at the Student Media at an organization called Kovsie Tv as an events Presenter, beginning of 2019. It is  honestly a platform for people to learn about themselves, a place where one can find their interests outside academics. There are alot of hats one can wear in media, besides presenting I realized that I could effortlessly create content. I am an overall creative full of ideas which some where implemented and there a lot more that needed to be implemented which unfortunately Corona put on hold in 2020.

I had probably about a page full of content, topics that I felt like people within the student media space needed to discussed and suddenly the chance of that happening was canceled due to Corona. I think late last year was when I was exposed to the idea of blogging. I saw a few students opening their own blogs, read a few of their posts and I thought it was Fantastic and nothing much.

Begining of the year 2021 as I was cleaning my box filled with diaries, notepads and books I used in 2020. As I was flipping through the pages in my diarie I came across a page that had a green marker and in that page I jodded down a few topic idea, a few were scratched out and some werent. I tore the page out and burned the rest of the useless things I had in the BOX.  Days went by and that page was always at back of mind and I though "something had to be done" and blogging didnt seem like a bad idea at all. Having a podcast also seemed like a great idea but I prefer writing. That is how I started blogging, along the way I realized that there were a few thing I needed to say, things that needed to be said, certain topic that I was already exploring by myself and felt I should share with "the world" whether its listening or not, objecting or agreeing with what I had to say. Blogging is also an engagement platform and that is also something I felt like I needed more of, opening a twitter account wasnt an option, having an instagram, facebook account and whatsapp was definetely enough social media for me. I wont deny that I sometimes use my blogging website to vent, there's just alot of things that piss me off in this world too.  This year at the begining of my journey I'm already facing creative blogs, lack of consistency and I dont want to treat this blog like a dear diary I can buy a diary for that. I also dont have an opinion on everything, there are certain topics I have no knowledge of and I am definetely not about to do research on a topic I'm not interested in just to seem consistent or to sound intelligent.


I am still new at this and between academics, my mental health and trying to find the strength to be patient with myslf, it's alot.... In the midst of all the doubts, confusion and the unnecessary overthinking regarding this blog, I hope to always remember why I do certain things and continue doing things my way.

Isnt General Consensus Killing The Experience??

S ince I've been writting the next natural question would be, is it something I enjoy doing or love doing? Don't know how this whole feelings work and how to identify which is which. Don't think it's as simple as if you're doing something and you're smiling while doing it that means you love it but if you're doing something and want to do it again that means you enjoy it. Those could be the potential definitions. But when you are constantly doing something it might not mean you enjoy doing it , you might be cognizant of the fact that you know how to do a certain thing. Anywho as I'm writting this I'm trying to also figure out why I still do it. So one of my first reasons for starting a blog was because I felt like there was a lot of topics that I thought needed to be discussed. Like I said before I was on Kovsie TV and they had a talk show with guests of broad knowledge. Then there was the reason that is still true which is because I think alot abou

Trusting and Listening to Thyself.

  There's been this one recurring thought in my mind and it says that I should listen to myself more. There are so many voices I don't even know which one is my inner self's voice. This journey of trusting someone/something you don't know or can't see rather thatim embarking is will be full of surprises I cannot wait to experience. It feels as though I have my hands tied behind my back. I'm being thrown into a pool and the one rule is don't drown. The only way to not drown is to not try to swim but let go till your feet reach the ground and only then  push do you have to push yourself up to the surface. The level of surrendering that needs to be done is scarry because it's new. And honestly I've been swimming all my life, letting go and trying not to swim will be a challenge.  We've been exposed to alot of things that can be  seen and touched. That has turned us ignorant to things that aren't seen but can be heard. Believing and trusting th

Detaching From Your Mind

I think expecting our minds not to think of anything and calling that peace of mind is us being delusional. I don't know why all of a sudden I'm asking self what piece of mind is all of a sudden. I shouldn't be surprised cause it within brand. I think it's deeper than not having a single thought in your mind. The issue is we're defining a state of a faculty we have no idea how it works. Therefore peace of mind is really the awareness of the mind being aware of its surroundings and choosing not to yield to a force we have no clue of it's intelligence. I think the mind is an organ that is aware of itself and it's surroundings. All of that makes it a threat in every way. It's able to prevent you from doing, saying and even having certain things by virtue of you not being aware of how it works and thinking you are your mind.  I'd say don't listen but that's not realistic. Try listening less, the more you listen less the closer you are to not lis
