What do you call a person whose always wanted to write? I mean I come from a culture where it's feminine more like he is a wimp sitting down behind a computer like a secretary rather than rolling up his sleeves and doing a man's job. I would like to point out that we are all born differently with knacks and quirks for different things or interests.
I grew up knowing that my mom and dad wanted me to be a doctor it's like I got into science class and was forced to figure out maths ''something I still have no clue about till this very day'' learn about chemistry, physics, biology at least biology I liked! I excelled in literature and french but no my African father would not have it or even hear of it. He'd go, my son? A lawyer? No way! Lawyers are liars! They are buried face down because they told too many lies in their lifetime.
Above it all, I just wanted to write, write about life. Write about my day, hell tell stories that could be visualized by my readers through the eye of my mind. I wanted to say stuff and be different. I did not want to pray 10 times a day or see patients. I wanted to travel the world with a backpack and pocket change, just being free. I sit here in my sister's room and write this and it feels liberating!
I have stories to tell about life, love, joy, pain, sadness, success, failures and more. I want to be free from the shackles of ''who I am supposed to be'' it's not who I am and it has had me traveling the wrong route for the longest time. I hope people are out there that this resonates with come read along as I share life from the eye of my mind. Until next time, be well!
