To New Beginnings

This is not the first time but this time would be the best time we've had

For the past couple of months, I’ve been contemplating starting my newsletter again. You see, I’ve been in a constant state of waiting. In my head, I felt, my life had to be for me to write. For the plot to be complete, there has to be a climax; I was searching for that big break, the cherry on the cake.

Being fixated on outcomes makes you miss out on beautiful things blossoming around you. Honestly, things have been happening. So many conversations we were meant to have that we didn’t because I was waiting for a miracle I already had.

Earlier this year, I spoke to a friend, and she said, your life is going smoothly, and you’ve forgotten to write. It hit me that, most times, I write when my emotions are intense, whether positive or negative. Lately, I’ve been learning to write through mundane things. There is beauty in simplicity.

Last week, I told myself if I could post consecutively on Instagram for seven days starting last Saturday, I’ll restart my newsletter. So, this is me keeping that promise. This newsletter is “This thing called life.” Life’s journey is not linear. Sometimes there are lows, it has highs too, and sometimes it seems nothing is moving. I want to capture every aspect of those moments with this newsletter.

These stories might be mine, yours, or someone else. But it’s going to reflect life as we journey through it. I’m looking forward to our conversations. I hope you are too.
