Hello, World!

One of the things I have admired about people is how they can articulate their thoughts and write them down, whether in a diary, a notepad, or even a blog, and then there’s me with all these thoughts wrapped up in my head. I struggle to speak about them because I am unsure how I want to wrap those words together. I even talk slowly (if you have heard me talk before), and I’ve been told I count my words. So I have decided to put down these thoughts, and there’s only one way to overcome this part of me and get ahead.

The secret to getting ahead is getting started! - Mark Twain

There’s usually a lot of stuff going on in my head, and I feel really bad that I keep them to myself every time just because I don’t know how to put the pen down (or press the key down). You know, when someone drops a “hot take” on X (I succumbed to calling it that rather than Twitter 🫠), there are a million and one things you want to say, but you cannot because you are scared of being dragged? Or when you watch a movie and a punchline jumps at you, and you’re like “word! word!!” and then you start to self-reflect because the sank deep? Yeah, those moments should be shared. You just might be helping someone out there.

If everyone waited to become an expert before starting, no one would become an expert. To become an EXPERT, you must have EXPERIENCE. To get EXPERIENCE, you must EXPERIMENT! Stop waiting. Start stuff. - Richie Norton

So I am making this commitment to talk about my thoughts (those I can share, of course) with everyone, not caring (but caring lowkey) about who gets to read them and can find them helpful. I am not going to wait till it is perfect. I am going to start doing.

Some of the things I would be talking about would include:

• Tech: As you know (or maybe you don’t), I love tech, so I would be talking about technology. It would be about stuff I learned somewhere, or something that jumped out at me while I was working, AI, tech events, or even hot takes on social media. I should also talk about gadgets. I may have slacked, but I sure still do love gadgets.

• The Gospel: I am not ashamed of the gospel because it saved me, and I want others to be saved. So, most of my WhatsApp status rants about the gospel would be living here now. The word of God is sweet, and I can’t be stingy with it.

• Family: The basic unit of society is family, and while I am not a professional to talk about family, I can at least talk about myself and how I see family. There are so many opinions about what a family should be, and I feel choked up sometimes when I read some opinions, so here’s my free space to share my thoughts.

• Books: I found reading fun back in 2020/2021, and I have been inconsistent with it, but I am beginning to find my spark again. So join me to talk about books, make recommendations, and this includes the bible! I am currently reading The Rules of Thinking by Richard Templar, and I’ve got 12 Rules for Life by Jordan Peterson for my next read. I am also currently on a streak of reading the bible every day, and today is Day 859 🥳

• Life generally: I might be coming up with newsletters (still thinking whether to make it monthly or weekly) to talk about my life and the things that I have been up to. You can let me know if you think newsletters are a good idea or not.

The way to get started is to quit talking and start doing. - Walt Disney

While I might struggle to be consistent from the start, I would need your “ginger”. So think of yourself as my accountability partner.

I am also looking to learn from you, so your engagements are super important to me. Help me out here, would you? 😉
