Visuals

Since I’ve began writing this blog there’s been one constant suggestion….”you should do a podcast!” Now, though I feel like it’s a dope idea and something I’ve thought about doing for some time…it’s also something I’d have to work up to! I’m in the process of sharpening my pen. To me I feel like I should become better at penning my thoughts because that’ll eventually lead to me being able to write a treatment as well as a script for said podcast.

One thing I’ve noticed since I began doing this is how much fulfillment I get from simply publishing the work! This is the first time I’ve actually taken the initiative to take something I was passionate about seriously. And I can honestly say I wish I’d discovered this sooner but we know there’s no such thing a the wrong time when it comes to the universe so I just follow where he/she takes me!

About two months ago I started writing vision boards and one of the goals I set for myself was to return to the best gift my mom gave me…the pen! I needed it…it was something I’d put to the side for way longer than I should’ve and the further I got from it the more I felt off. Now I know it’s going to look like “ah you waited until you got down to San Diego to notice that?” but the truth is I began before I left Washington it was just in a very personal space. I was confident enough to share it with one person but not enough to leave it to public opinion. But once I put that to side…the flood gates opened!

It’s even gotten to the point where writing has become a part of my daily routine. I may not write a full piece but as long as I write something that day…I’m good! It’s also a way I think to keep my mind sharp and a way to get rid of some of the clutter that occupies my brain and my heart. I feel and think a lot but don’t express because let’s be honest most of the time when we vent it falls onto deaf ears and we get “that’s crazy”’d to death. So I got into a habit of telling myself “they not trynna hear this shit…”. But I got over that mindset I didn’t care, and I think that was the biggest hurdle in the whole process to get to where I am now.

I do believe that the next step in this journey is a book…but I know I have to continue to work at this first in order for me to be ready for the next step! Besides I’m enjoying the process too much to want to speed it up between the typing, the editing, the publishing and the posting I’m having a ball!
