My peaceful place

I'm not much of a talker; I'm too shy, so what I do to compensate is to always write down my thoughts. For me, writing is magical; I pin down my thoughts and breathe in life for my character.

Life is already hard, full of noise and challenges, so what do I do when I feel so miserable that I just feel like it's not good enough? I write as much as I can.There is something about my writing, especially when it comes to fiction; I have these doubts inside of me.

This happened when I wrote my first fiction book. I felt my writing wasn't good enough. I always have this inner voice that makes me question my inner instinct. What if people don't like what I write? What if I'm just writing jagoons? The doubt haunts me like the ghost that lurks in the shadows, and I have to take a break, and the only thing I did within that period was read. I read so much educational content and inspirational books and novels too.

I got back my clarity and my zeal, and yeah, within those moments I focus more on writing my thoughts and how I feel about myself every day. For me, reading works for me; reading is like treasure hidden in faraway Iceland, which only a few can find.

For me, writing is just like creating a new life; most times I love watching sunsets and sunrises, and it seems like those moments are so precious, watching the world rest, and my imagination becomes wide, and I keep asking myself some questions about nature, and that is the point I write more, especially when I'm writing fiction.

Secondly, I enjoy food; you might be wondering, We eat every day, so what is the big deal or what is so special?" There is something satisfying about eating your cravings and just what you want to eat that day.

I enjoy food a lot, and the moment I feel on the edge, the next thing I do is eat that particular food I crave more, so food makes me relax and feel at peace.You might be wondering, Won't I get fat? Well, I have a proven principle that I won't ever be fat in my lifetime.

I have been slim all my life, and so no matter the quantity of food I consume, luckily I still retain my shape. For me it's good, so I enjoy eating most of the time; it calms those weary days I feel like giving up.

Thirdly, I will say social media is full of noise; it seems almost like a distraction. So what I do is reduce my engagement on social media accounts and focus more on things that matter, like writing on Hive and reading amazing posts of others, and for my WhatsApp, I mute most of my friends statuses and leave ones that add more value to me. In that way, I maximize my time without distractions.
