Do you have what it takes?

This is one question that almost everyone asks themselves before taking any step-in life that seems huge. I also asked myself when I was getting ready for a debate for the first time in my secondary school.

I wasn't sure if I had what it takes to stand before the crowd and defend a cause. "Am I going to sound convincing enough?" "Were they going to believe what I had to say?" I had plethora of questions but these questions were only going to be answered if I got out on that field and did the debate.

Truth is, you'll never know if you have what it takes for a job until you take a step and "put yourself out there" like a friend once advised me to.

This isn't something you've never heard before but you're really doing yourself no good by waiting to figure everything out before taking a step.

For years, I fancied with the idea of creating a blog. I would read about blogs, go to other people's blogs (already made people) and come back to tell myself that I didn't have what it takes to put myself out there like the others.

But today I'm here, out here, and you could go out there yourself too. Just take the first step and see how things work out.

IT'S NOT YOU, IT'S THEM!

You may think an unhealthy relationship is far from you, but I can't guarantee you that if you or your partner falls into the following category.  Don't be in a hurry to leave. Stay tuned for this unveiling. 1. The people whose hobby is table turning: Are you familiar with the term "table turning?" If you're not, I'll tell you what it means. Do you know those people who never admit that they are at fault or believe that they have a hand in any wrongdoing but always find a way to make everything your fault? They are the table turners. So, he or she does something that is clearly wrong but by the time the story is told 3-4 times, they manage to make it your fault and you end up apologizing for what you don't know. 2. The people who "call a spade, a spade": These ones with their mouths sharp as razor specialize in telling their kind of truth. Their mic is always on. All they know about being supportive is calling a spade a spade and saying things th...

MUSINGS ON MICHELLE OBAMA'S BECOMING

I've been reading Michelle Obama's Becoming and in a page where she tried to talk about how her background differs from Barrack's, she wrote- "His story was his story" and for some reason, this line which at first glance appeared very simple and not "deep" stood out for me. "His story was his story" It made me think about how often we want our lives to go in other ways that are different from what we have right now. How we spend time to think that just maybe if we were born into a different family or grew up in a different environment or attended a different school, that our lives could have been better. Or that we could have had a "better" story.  There is no "better" story and there's beauty in my story and your story is what I'm learning from Michelle.  Your story may not glitter but there's value and beauty in it. You've got to believe this. There's beauty in the entirety of your story- from the neigh...

REGRET

 It is always something you should not have said or done that damages your relationship with someone you care about or not. And it is in this manner that I want to talk about regret. Not the one that is a result of things beyond your control but the ones which you could have controlled but overlooked. Nothing makes you feel like shit the way this kind of regret does.  My friend once told me that regret is the worst emotion and I completely agree. Because how does something make you dwell on it and not move forward because you're thinking a thousand things you should have done better and rarely presents you with an opportunity to rewind time in order for you to do better? Usually, the problem here is not really whether you are sorry or not but that the deed has been done and there is no going back. This kind of regret just says, "It is what it is" and expects you to accept it even if it makes you cry every night. This type of regret gets even worse in the matter of death. ...
