What would I like to achieve through this blog, Nomonde asked me.
I was like Whoa! Deep much...
I hadn't thought about it with such depth. Honestly, I hadn’t thought about it at all, I don't know what I want to achieve yet, but I like the feeling of contentment I get after every post, if that be any measure of achievement. I get to say the things I want to say, the way I want to say it with no fear of being reprimanded, I get to say to myself the things even my mom wouldn't swallow because they define the emotion in question. I post the pictures I want to post, pictures raw my father would wake from the dead and give me a hiding if he ever logged on my blog.
In the beginning it was just about getting followers but now it’s about the visitors I get, as it means to me that someone took time to want to know me through the words and the pictures I share. I recently went through one heck of a change in my life that scares me to death because I fear I am not good enough sometimes I feel I’m drowning, and my blog happened to be the digital friend I never thought I needed, it allows me to share experiences that people fear to talk about, to utter words that people are never strong enough to utter even to themselves, it allows me to lay with respect and at times disrespect images that define the past, the present and aspirations, it allows me to share a part of me I had never shared even with myself before my blog became me.
So if by achieve Monde meant getting to know myself and slowly realizing my calling then what I want to achieve through this blog is just that. I want to tell my stories without opposition, create tomorrow without limits, tell tales of yesterday without pity; talk about matters of the heart, life under the sheets with no shame; and tell stories to myself for myself while telling them to the world.
