MY CREATIVITY
THE PANDEMIC The global pandemic started in March 2020. I watched the news and felt increasingly worried about what was happening. I struggled to digest the situation. Life was going to change direction, causing disruptions to many sectors. I had to cancel my weekend trip to Birmingham watching a concert and touring the city seeing the Cadbury Factory and having a curry. Me and wife looked forward to the trip. It was a disappointment we could not go. Given the severity of the situation, it was not worth the risk taking the trip. There have been reports in high infection rates, hospital admissions and even deaths.

Greetings and Gratitudes, my dudes
Hi friends, welcome to ✨😤the fun zone😤✨ (That’s what I call this blog.) If you know me, you’ll know I’ve been toying with this idea for a while. I want a space to share my thoughts and writing, and I have a particular talent in over sharing personal details on the internet, so a blog just seemed like the most reasonable thing, idk.

I Believe Rest Is Key to Healing
My Pandemic Story I left my job in journalism in 2020. I realized I was putting too much stress on my shoulders. I was miserable putting together stories about the pandemic, politics, and crime. I lived in Chicago, so almost every day I had to report on murders.

Be a Chameleon
Imagine you are watching a stereotypical teenage movie. You see the main character, love interest, best friends, and background actors. It is simple to identify their labels among different cliques. You know athletes from mean girls and the academically inclined from the socially inept. Then, you have characters that fall into more than one category. They make the movie longer than it needs to be because, occasionally, they are the ones with identity issues. What about rare individuals who fall into all categories?

What is Means to be an Author
Authors are creative thinkers with a knack for storytelling. They use the written word to express their ideas and share their stories with the world. The act of writing helps them organize their thoughts, build upon their own experiences, and tell other people's stories. The right words can feel empowering, allow us to escape our problems for a little while, or help us feel less.

My 13-Year-Old YouTube Vlogger Time Capsule
The greatest creative ideas come out of something we don't have enough of these days: boredom. Believe me, I'm not complaining about the constant content we get in 2021 thanks to the internet, social media, news, books, movies, and other things. There's always an activity to occupy yourself with, and that's a great thing. But there's something so magical about feeling stuck in a mental rut and finding a way to climb out of it thanks to human instincts, discoveries, and willpower. Sometimes, your future will thank you for it.

On Becoming the Great
As an anxious overthinker, I tend to put myself through imaginary scenarios more often than Id like to admit. Sometimes the scenarios play out as happy fantasies and sometimes they’re the stuff of nightmares. Regardless whether they’re good or bad, I find comfort in knowing they are not real. I can alter myself and my emotions to fit the narrative and create whatever ending I choose. Real life doesn’t work that way. There is no rewinding, no do-overs. You take action and deal with the effects as they come. Life is full of ups and downs. Cliché to say, but true. It is in my experience that when life gets low, you find out who you really are and what you’re truly capable of.
