UNTIL THEN…

I had the urge to start this blog with an old photo that was taken in church, way back in 2016. I studied it long and hard and thought nope, that ain’t it Betty. In case you are wondering, this is totally unrelated to my post today. I just needed to start, maybe you should start that dream you’ve been putting off for too long.

Self-quarantine is great so far, I’ve worked out today (yaaay!), shot a vlog (I hope I won’t delete this one) and here I am, blogging (hehe..a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do). Today is my one month blogavversary (made it up real quick). I was gifted with world play, for that I am grateful.

I get scared sometimes, that I’ll be asked by God on judgement day, ‘I gave you the gift of writing, why didn’t you use it?’ Then in turn I’d tell him,’I preferred singing, Sir.’ Then I’d let out one hell of a laugh and He wouldn’t laugh back, because God is not one to be joked with. So I woke up to the realization that I must, by all means, utilize my gifts.

FYI, I’m supposed to start cooking now, but what’s to stand between me and inspiration? Should man live on bread alone? I have been trying to find inspiration for days. So yeah, this quarantine isn’t as bad as I thought. I hope you’re safe girls and boys, please wash your hands and stay indoors.

I am a big dreamer. There’s things I’d like to achieve before I…(wait for it)…Kick the bucket (Lol, compositions were the absolute gherroo, well not really, cause I used to get good marks).

Sorry guys, I have to cook. Be Right Back.

50 minutes later and I’m backkkk…Sorry, It’s Selina time babe. Gotta watch it.

So where was I?

I’m on a roller coaster of emotions, my favourite Kenyan programme is driving me to my wits end. I will survive this, just like WE will survive Rona.

So, onto my blog post.

Why until then? I wanted to lowkey try my hand at a poem-esque blog. Just to channel my inner Maya Angelou, that genius! So here goes…

I would genuinely love to travel the world, but until then, I will explore the places I’ve been planted in…Right here, where I am, there is beauty…

I’d love to be rich enough to solve some of the world’s problems, you know, like needy kids’ lack of education, but until then, a kind word to a stranger will do…

I’d love to find the perfect man, one who loves His God more than women, but until then, I will shower myself with immense love since I am whole….

Wouldn’t we all love our work to be featured in international platforms? That dope blog post you wrote, or that travel vlog you shot? Until then though, appreciate that audience of 10,20,30, 75, 100, they are people too, no?

I’d love to eat without gaining weight, but until then uuuuummmm, imma eat, just kidding, I’m going to appreciate the fact that it took a while to get here weight-wise and it’s okay, really…

What are your ‘until thens’? My work here was trying to make you see that worrying won’t get you anywhere, you’ll have to chill boo and enjoy where you are as much as you can!!!

That’s it for me folks!

Love you. Bye. 🙂

Hi. Welcome to my makeshift blog (I'm saying this because I'd like to start a professional one - not sure when). I consider myself a good writer, I have a way with words. Welcome to my mind, it's a great place to be in, most times... P.S - If you feel uncomfortable around necessary truths that involve hard conversations, I'd not recommend... If you're here to support your girl, peep at what thoughts linger on her mind and maybe just get your mind off of things (because it doesn't always have to be that deep) I suggest you stay, you'd like it here... Love, light and a creative space, fam, Nkatha.
