A glimpse in the mind of the author

So I have spent the past 15 minutes trying to think of a title for my introductory piece and I think that pretty much summarises the kind of person I am. I wonder if that was a result of the perfectionist in me or my indecisive nature. Whatever it was, here we are. I am wondering which heading I will go with in the end.

It looks like the first paragraph was me going on about the difficulty of deciding on a heading. Okay, maybe "going on" is a strong word for 4 sentences but I think that pretty much summaries the name of my blog.

Now, why did I start a blog? Well, firstly, my friend encouraged me to put some of my writing out there after reading a few threads I have written in the past. The second reason is that for a while now I have been writing a few pieces and the majority of them are unfinished. So I figured doing this would get me to finish some of them. This, therefore, means the next 6 or so publications will not necessarily be stuff in my head at the time of publishing as some of it was first drafted 3 to 6 months ago.

So what can you expect? The answer to that is in the blog's name of course 😂. However, while some of the good pieces I've written have been on love and relationships (damn you Mills & Boon), I might refrain from writing on them. Therefore, I hope I get inspired to cover a wider array of topics. Not to mention, if we're being honest, people generally paint themselves as the victim in their stories so I also want to avoid that hypocrisy for I know I have had my fair share of toxicity in my past relationships.

Indoda that acknowledges the above >>>> 😂😂😂

I just read this intro and I must say it is far from what I imagined it would be like but seeing I wrote it unrehearsed, it might just be a true reflection of how my mind works. How about that, I think I know what the heading should be.

    Great way to start and I'm equally inspired to do my thing because I've neglected my writing.

    I doubt your mind ever quietens. A mind like Liketso's. Your mix of Einstein and Chris Rock is quite a refreshing persona😄.

Healthy relationships

NB: I know I explained this before in my introductory blog, but I feel the need to reiterate for this specific publication lest the reader starts making assumptions. This was written over 5 months ago and therefore isn't a reflection of what I am going through at the moment. It could be my growth/evolution in the past 6 months but reading this now, I must say it sounds cheesy as hell 😂😂😂. Anyway, here goes... Hello, healthy relationships my old friend. I didn't know you were coming. You do know that you could've warned me first right, or were you afraid I'd run away from you like last time? Look who has trust issues now 😏 Now that you're here, your last visit just came to mind. I mean, it was pretty memorable after all. How can I forget the feeling that comes with knowing where I stand with someone from the get-go? How can I forget being considered in my partner's plans (whether involved or not)? How can I forget never having to guess what was going on in my...

Dear Future Lover

I look forward to texting you back and forth sharing our big wins, venting about work, exchanging memes, and learning the minute details of your day which may be trivial but signify a willingness to make me a part of every aspect of your life.  I look forward to thr memories we're going to capture, the date night pictures and boomerangs, the documented weekend aways, the video snippets of me kissing you on the cheek, and the activity date content. More importantly, I look forward to the moments we're going to be so immersed in that we'll forget to capture. I look forward to the day I go out of my way to accommodate you in my space. Whether in the form of allocating you a shelf in my bedroom cupboard, setting up an additional work from home station, or stocking up my fridge with lactose-free milk and/or gluten-free bread. I look forward to the excitement of planning your birthday and the pressure of making each year better than the last. In the same breath, I look forward to...

Take a relationship break, they said

I don't mean to state the obvious but we all know that a small break is one of the greatest things you can do after a relationship ends. I could list the countless benefits like how you get back the parts of yourself that you had forgotten or the healing necessary before you get into the next relationship but we're all familiar with them so that won't be my focus. Instead, I am wondering whether there comes a point where the break does you more harm than good. As someone who tends to take long breaks in between relationships, I am beginning to realise that maybe, just maybe, a long break could reverse your healing. We are social creatures who were never meant to do this life thing alone, and that's why companionship (not only romantic) ranks so high among our emotional needs. I guess it was this realisation that birthed the phrase "you cannot self-love or self-care your way out of the desire for companionship". Ever watch a movie on a Saturday night and found ...
