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.
