See for a very long time I always wanted to post on this blog but the questions I had were more than the answers. “Should it be funny?” I doubted it because I do not have Eric Omondi as my co-writer.
Should it be inspiring? Well my autobiography isn’t like that of Ben Carson but want to watch this space? “Would it engage my readers?” and so many more questions that went unanswered. Yes I did write many posts but ended up saving them to drafts because of those questions my brain would shoot at my conscience.
I can tell you that what’s worse than craving for chapati in the middle of the night is saving a post to drafts because it isn’t ‘good enough’ but hey, everyone has to start from somewhere you know. Case in example, I’m learning guitar and learning it comes with the baggage patience. I want to play along to songs already but that will take time, but with daily practise, siku moja nitakuwa kwenye jukwaa, nitapaa.
I want to walk into the news rooms and say ‘Hey Edith, let me cover for you today’ but I know that right now I can’t handle an iPAD hehe. I will go to school and learn how to handle an iPAD and someday I will be in front of those cameras, nitapaa.
I want to inspire people with my blog, I want to tickle people and I want to show love to people with my blog, that will take sometime. My words have not that strength yet, but as I believe to grow in every post, I have that vision in mind that, that which does not have to wait till 2030, that vision that nitapaa.
Allow me to end my first post in a very cliche manner by mentioning that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a step. 🙂 One last question, wewe unakubali kupaa, kupaa angani?(Cheers to those friends whose dreams dangle close to yours and soar with you.)
Tabasamu :)
