New Beginnings

For as long as I can remember, I’ve always considered myself different from every one else. It is what has shaped me to be the person I am today, take my social awkwardness for instance, I’ve always given up on talking about an experience or thought because I feel others are unable to relate to it, shaping me up to become this enclosed one man army which I'm hoping to change.

Change. I struggle with change, a lot. Kuna hii comfort that comes with living life how one is used to. I spent most of my childhood convincing myself I was waterphobic just because I didn’t know how to swim and when I had finally found the courage to learn, I couldn’t help but wonder what else I was missing out on life just because.

Joining uni felt like crossing a bridge, not a huge one that makes you feel nervous, but a small one that makes your stomach drop a little, I was ready to take the first step across, to be given some of my first chances at freedom and independence (and by freedom I mean having the ability to choose a course of action and follow it through.). And what better way to cash in my newly earned freedom card than to set out hiking for 60km (sounds crazy 😂…)

Taking long undisturbed walks has always been my safe space helping me to reset. I’ve been struggling a bit of late , this whole period has mostly been learning and relearning for me. I just can’t wait to be back on my shit especially now that I’ll be going on that long holiday stuff where I’ll be working more on my creative self.

Hope to be back here after the hike. Thanks for the time, appreciate it 🦋.
