Getting to Know Me: Questions About My Writing!

A tag post

Hey hi 👋 😂 I don’t have a better intro. Please let’s just make do with that 😂

So, Write To Your Face nominated me to do the “Questions About My Writing” tag, you should check hers out here

It took me so long to complete, but here are the questions and my answers:

1. What would you say is the most personal piece you’ve written and why?
   The most personal piece l’ve written would probably be “How Do You Hold Someone Up When You're Both Going Under?”
   It was based on what I was actually going through in that period with a friend of mine. And I just wrote that straight out of my heart, l didn’t even edit it 😅
   So it was more of a part of my heart thrown into the wind.

2. What is your favourite personality trait about yourself, and how is that reflected in your writing?
   My favourite personality trait about myself… I’m not sure if it reflects in my writing, but I love how I hype myself up. Not necessarily “hype” but like if I’m going through something or I’m confused, I somehow jolt myself back into confidence and clarity, giving myself hope.

   One of my friends even once told me that whenever I’m worried about something and I come to her, she doesn’t even bother cause she knows I’ll end up figuring it out myself 🤣🤣
   I’d like to believe it’s the work of the Holy Spirit 🤍

3. What is your favourite piece you’ve written, and why?
   My favourite piece is The Obstacle May Not Go Away But There'll Be A Path For You

   Why? Because I got my inspiration and revelation on one beautiful morning when I was reading my Bible and I still remember the joy I felt throughout that day from the moment I wrote it down. Believe it or not, but the joy was so great I even danced, and I don’t even know how to dance 😭😭😂😂
   Also, it feels like a hug from God to me, to us; that no matter what happens, as long as we have Him, yeah we’ll be aight

4. What is the last thing (poem, book, article) that you read and felt truly seen
   It wasn’t a book, poem or article, it was an Instagram post

   It reminded me of how often I delay things and hold back just because I feel unprepared or awkward doing them.
   And so it made me want to embrace being cringe more and not bother about looking “uncool” while trying, because there is nothing wrong in trying, there is nothing wrong in not knowing exactly what to do, there’s nothing wrong with not having it all figured out, and it’s okay to look unprofessional at first. The more you do those “cringe” things, the more you grow and become more comfortable with them

5. What motivates you to write?
   I’d say being able to impact others one way or another through it

   Also, I write all the time. A lot of them don’t make it on here, but they exist. In my journal. For me. 🙂

   Okay! That was a tad bit of a weird moment 😂

   But you remember how I said I always seem to be able to uplift myself whenever I’m going through something? Yeah, I do that through writing.

   So, moments or situations like that cause me to write, and if it’s something I believe others may be able to relate to or learn from, I share it 🤍
