GOING BACK TO WHERE IT
ALL BEGAN
When I was a child I loved writing
short stories because it felt like I was transporting my mind to another world.
And when I was a teenager I got involved
in the Hip Hop Scene and I began writing verses and rhymes just for fun. Then I stopped writing, and I tried doing all
the things that I thought would bring me happiness like work, family, and so on. But my creative energy always kept rising up inside
me. So, I tried doing Arts and craft,
and small projects to keep my mind busy.
But I it didn’t have a true passion for any of those things. Later in 2013 I got divorced, and eventually I
started dating which is a whole other story, but let’s just say I learned a
lot. By 2015 I quit my job which I absolutely hated
and I began feeling lost and unsure. Until one day I started to write again as I
did many years ago. And I began to write
every day. I started out writing simple short
poems and then they grew in length and then I began to write about my
perception of life. So, I decided to start
a page on Facebook, and my page grew to over 11,000 likes. I could not believe that this was because of
me and my words. But I continued writing
until one day I decided to perform Spoken Word, which turned out to be one of
the most profound experiences of my life. Now I have several platforms on
social media and a Youtube Channel. And
today I am ready to speak about my journey and write about it because I am
ready to manifest my dreams. So, today I’m
telling my story to whoever reads this because I feel like if I write it, then
it becomes an affirmation. And like the Beloved
Luther Vandross used to sang it “A chair is still a chair even if no one’s
sitting there”. So, I may just be a
chair but here I am. Thanks for reading😊
