Day 35

It's the end of another week...goals completed and projects in progress.
And it's day 35.
I hope your week went well, Ami.
Mine did...mostly.
I still fought with myself tho...analyzing fears and questioning behavior.
Before I forget...this week's theme was Fiction/Poetry.
I opened up my draft for a story that had been hibernating for 6 months...and I'll say, it's a terrible draft.
If the story was a plane, it exploded in mid-air before landing on the runway.....with the runway being a perfect novel.
I hope you get what I mean.
I haven't finished reading through the draft...pretty sure I'm going to change a lot of things about it.
On Poetry....
I'm still typing out my poems into a docs file....like an anthology.
Just a collection of all the poems I've written so far, which is more than a hundred.
Let me share one of them with you:
This one is called "Don't call me".

Don't call me a hero
I just do the best I can
Don't call me extraordinary
The 'extra' is a fool proof plan
Don't call me calm
The turmoil in my mind is crippling
Don't call me peaceful
Struggles unleash the beast within
Don't call me lucky
I prepared to meet with chance.

I actually don't remember what inspired me to write this one.
One thing about my poems is that they reflect a thought or experience I had.
That's that...
On this Saturday, I'm not doing my usual routine....I have a weekend stack (routine).
Now I know what I will be doing differently in the weeks and months to come.
Some things are going to change....and people who know me may raise their eyebrows because of it....in surprise or wonder.
But those that will understand me are also part of them, so there's no need to worry.
(Sigh) I gotta go now
Those weekend tasks won't complete themselves.
Catch you later, Ami 😉

Overwhelmed

Hey Ami....what's up? Hope it's all going well at your side. If it's not, just remember that things will get better.......and it pays to be grateful that things are not worse than they currently are. Well, my day went great...figured out how my work time would go. Explored my former accounts today and started to make some changes. Especially to my IG account. I also started to feel slightly overwhelmed at the thought of how I would manage my presence on these platforms. The people who do it are no different....it all just comes down to planning and systems. I'm gonna explore that as well. And also realized that the Threads platform is quite different from IG. Anyways, I think I would have to plan out how I'm going to show up on my platforms. Although...the goal is my email list...still need a plan. As for this challenge, I got what I really needed out of it.... learning about routines as a way to simplify habits. That's all for now.....typing was not part of my ...

System Update

A simple system update  That was the only thing it took to make my day, Ami. The day started with me trying to type out content...but the keyboard wasn't responding like I wanted it to. And I didn't want it to make me upset so I just adjusted to it...but then I started to think of how it was going to be if I needed to type a response to a message online....(that's me thinking ahead) "Well, till that time comes", was my final thought. I browsed the settings to see how I could remedy the situation (it was really getting to me 😬) Couldn't really figure out anything so I just left it and charged my phone. Then, evening came and I needed to work on a design...the device was still acting up  I snapped, Ami. I went straight to the settings and got to the system update which needed data connection. Started it and stared as the update downloaded...and got installed. "OPTIMIZING YOUR DEVICE...THIS MIGHT TAKE A WHILE" , was the next thing I saw. Then I just ke...

I Just Did Something Crazy

 Yep! I had no idea I was going to do this. It wasn't in my to-do list. The idea just popped into my head and I thought, 'why don't I give it a try?' What I did? I started this post. The thing is, I think a lot and remember little afterwards. Who am I? Let's just say I'm a twenty year old Nigerian and I'm just thinking out loud. If you're reading this, you probably have a lot of thoughts running through your head as well. The same happens to me. This is my very first post and I want to warn you. WARNING! THIS IS NOT A USUAL BLOG! I started this as a crazy idea and I want to keep it that way. UNUSUAL So, if you like to read about experts and gaming and fiction and life, this is probably not for you. Why I say this? Because the coming posts may be about all of none of the topics you read about. They may be grammatically correct but purely nonsensical. They may be short or long or in rant form. I may not even post regularly. One thing I will assure you is t...
