CHAPTER TWO (LOCAL MAN THE CALM AND COMPOSED)

 

I went into silence so i could just hear myself for a minute, well more like a month... but now I’M BACK!!!!

For those of you that don’t know, I took a break from writing to develop a plan for this blog and every other thing... and I have great news; I FINALLY HAVE A PLAN infact PLANS!, but first let’s take a journey down memory lane.

After announcing my purposed “break” from blogging, I almost instantly forgot the reason for taking this one month hiatus; to slow down a little and develop a plan and maybe a creative process while at it.

my GOAT!

“There’s still time” I said to myself and boyyy was I wrong, half way into my break and I hadn’t taken any step to drawing out a plan and realising it made it worse.

Although I was doing things I said I would do like reading from other bloggers like Lammy A, Kiitan Jones and others, read books but still they felt like things i normally do, I played myself into thinking i was still on track...

Comfort felt nice, I was back to how I was prior to starting this... honestly there’s nothing bad about that version of myself, the only real difference was the blog and some other things I was blind to, like being proud of myself for days after dropping new blog post... you know... the small things. Truly comfort can be dangerous.

A fantastic way to learn that lesson.

So I had to bring myself back and remind myself of the purpose of all of this

So for the remaining half of my break I started thinking and unconsciously crafting a creative process, till now I don’t fully grasp  it, but i know it’s there; steps I take.

Then I stumbled on copywriting; a form of marketing, which if you ask me looks like art, now i’m learning more and more about it. It’s something that will come into manifestation later on in my life. Trust the process.

During this period a handful of people also suggested that I should try podcasting or Youtube, at first I tried ignoring then it became overwhelming... accepting the pressure, I put both into consideration... but i’m leaning towards podcasting which will also come into manifestation later on in my life; because omo i don’t know jack about podcasting..

And that’s on my life!

NOW FOR THE MOMENT YOU’VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR, i’ll be telling you my plans for the blog!, but first another small tale!(based off my own perceptions)

So it goes like this;

A long long longggg time ago, I was one to believe in the concept of the “right time”, that is waiting for something’s to align before doing something, and when those things(in this context)align, we call that the “right time”.

Then later on I realized the right time just occupies a moment and could be gone in the next, then if it’s like that, why no start whatever it is and let everything else forcefully align. 

The world isn’t exactly for the master of one anymore, with the advancement in technology and everything else, It’s looking like it’s for the Jack of all trades.

Picking knowledge, skills and experiences from different lines of work and using it to perfect yours... I mean it’s a win win situation(ethics prostitution).

The Plan is...

To have NO PLAN.

Now hear me out.

This place is like my Asylum (not that i’m mentally ill or anything), It’s a place where I find peace it the maddest of forms and attempting to disrupt this already perfected balance (fixing what doesn’t need to be fixed) put me at war with myself and I moved in the opposite direction of what I was hoping for, Instead of CALM and COMPOSED it was more of ANXIOUS and CONFUSED. Overall I just wanted my imagination to lead me, I feel much more at peace that way.

And here we are..

At that long boring introduction before the start of a new book.

I’ve switched gears, embracing every obstacle that life has put in my way and facing them with my full chest.

I want to talk about everything but still there’s some information I’m never going to volunteer just yet.

Life handed some of us a tough deal; so tough it’s like trying to maintain your mind in a chaotic environment.. feels like a suicide mission most of the time.

Anyways I’m sorry i took this long to return and thank you for waiting, It’s been stressful but the pressure has been lifted a little and you can say I’m back for good!.

The coming posts won’t be as long as this I promise, I just had to get something’s off my chest and give the explanation I owe.
