I have put off starting a blog for so long. I remember wanting to start a blog back in my second year of university not only because a lot of people around me were doing it but because I just wanted to document my life miles away from home.
If you do not already know me I am a secretive 23 year old Aquarius girl called Abena. I love moving silently because my mother always said and continues to say you never know who is watching and you never know who wants to see you fail. I have tried to unlearn this for so long but I have come to realize that some things we learn stay with us forever and you know what? That is ok.
All my life I have kept two journals. In these journals, I write a lot about how I feel and how people make me feel. You know how you write a long essay in your notes app before you send it to someone who hurt you? Well, my process is different. I write my first draft in my journal and my second and final draft in my notes. By doing this, I am able to express myself without the fear of being judged and I believe we all need that in our lives. Sometimes life can be so exhausting and all you need at the end of the day is a hug and someone to listen to your problems but if you are like me you write it all down and sleep.
I guess all I am trying to say is this blog is going to be my journal. One thing I have learnt on twitter is that humans go through the same emotions over and over again. However, because we fear vulnerability we are not able to share these experiences with anyone and because of this, we feel we are alone. I figured that by sharing these experiences and creating an open community, people know and realize we all go through it sometimes and that is perfectly fine.
Disclaimer: I do not identify myself as a professional writer. I am your quintessential millennial who is trying to survive in a world that has nothing to offer. Too dark?
Haha...stay tuned
